Why are you so blind to see?
Look at the blood under your feet
How you excuse your misdeeds?
How much more do you need?
…Greed…
As it feeds strength on your fears
When you steal from your soul
Then it crawls deep down beneath
And transforms your heart into coal
With eyes full of greed
You see what you will
The lust of the flesh
And needs to fulfill
Enough is less than you need
Always unsatisfied
On pain you feast
Trying to carve your name
Amidst the stars
Climbing a pile of sins
See where you are
Avarice will tear the chance
To reach sublime
Through greed and duality
To merge with divine

Day of Bereavement
04:41
|

When it was when war have started
The world collapsed and we crumbled away
While searching answers and eternal reason
Forever blinded we remained
Shores are passing over
In constant wait for yesterday
We’re fading silently from inside
Leaving off in soulless pain
They used to play outside
Uneasy spirits of my past
Inhabitants of world in ruin
Where hope no longer lasts
The pain behind my eyes
It never fades it never fades
The lies I trusted once
Never again never again
The poison that I drank
Is crawling through my veins
I am leaving all behind
To die in peace today

Open the Gates

With birth in flesh and bones
Evoked by holy plan
To rule amongst the beast
Was given chance to man
And so he stood ablaze
His eyes upon creation
Drawing wisdom from the snake
Oblivious to his damnation
He discovered there is a pleasant prize
Beyond the gates of sin
At the chamber of illusions dreams and wonders
So incomplete and yet supreme
His endless kin is
Laying waste on everything
Feeding on suffering
The greatest mistake – The creation of mankind
Of all the agony the terror and despair
The skillful one would reach for the potential of the mind
On a quest he would go to receive the mercy of time
He’ll return in a form – flesh and claws
Open the gates of God’s domain
Release the strain of endless pain

Pallid Shades
03:46
|

Are you facing a dead end
I should have seen it coming
No more time to pretend
No way to keep on running
In this world painted grey
Nobody could be that strong
You just did it your own way
But now it all feels so wrong
Was it all in vain?
Every step will take you closer
To the point of no return
It's just the way this life goes over
There's nothing useful here to learn
Every day could bring you wonders
How come they cannot be seen
There is more to life than thunders
Open now your eyes pristine
So when the day fades
You still search for a reason
But nothing ever helps
You’re a captive in your own mind's prison
Drawbacks will emerge forever
Will you stand alone and wait
For your worn out soul to suffer
Throwing you in dark descent
Was it all in vain?

The Epilogue
03:59
|
|||
Forgotten echoes fill the air
Their souls are screaming with despair
Life expires before their eyes
Their world is sewn with endless lies
Their doom befell this place before
It was left without its timeless lore
With faith uncertain they were born
Into the endless fall by hate they are thrown
Deceived by darkness ends the day
Coldness flows through fire
All that’s living will fade away
In time there may be found a way
Uncorrupted by their ire
Into the afterglow of endless recurring day
Steeped in insolence
And lust of gain
Humanity at the end
Will have a price to pay
Deceived by darkness ends the day
Coldness flows through fire
All that’s living will fade away
In time there may be found a way
Uncorrupted by their ire
Into the afterglow of endless recurring day

Overwhelming Me
05:00
|
|||
Liquid despair is running inside me
The bottle is ready and waiting to hide me
In her embrace it’s all the same
I drink disgrace and swallow shame
For every failing try I’m guilty
What remains inside is so filthy
It’s taking over me
My weakness is overwhelming me
It forces me back to the end
These are the days of my final descent
Depressive obsession of liquor consumption
Leading me through the paths of abduction
Still keep running away from reality
Distorted perceptions enchanting insanity

Throne of Silence
05:20
|

Take away the darkness
That fell upon my dream
For lost beyond redemption
Vanishes the man in me
Memories frozen in time
An ingenious invention
Always something there to remind me
A paradigm of life
A sacrifice for high ideal
The rain of doubt’s been falling down
Again with sour feel
As I carve in the stone
Knelt on hands and knees
As I build my infernal machine
Held in secrecy
On a race for my life
As the pendulum swings
Reign of terror ends tonight
A perfect conspiracy
I reach into the blindness
But toll no bell for me
A path beyond redemption
In darkness I can see
As I disappear into the shadows deep
A momentary lapse into remorse and guilt
Still the greater goal ahead will justify my means
Hero, martyr or assassin - only time will tell

...as Eons Fade
05:46
|
|||
I’ve been trapped here for eternity
Millennia ago my body died
Sorrow and flesh became a memory
But my anger still is breathing fire
Destruction and fires
Sin upon sin
Government lies
Manmade disease
Occult sacrifice
Sadistic regimes
Million cries
I’ve been fueling enough through the years
I’ve been watching you from my tower in the sky
Getting into the fear of your own demise
You follow existence with new blood
And profusion before your short sighted eyes
The fabric of your inner self untouched from within
Litter the margins before you
Leaving you lost in your dreams
You set sails to another certainty
You’re million miles behind your dream
Still living in a form of reality
You set sails to another century
You’re million miles behind your dream
Still living in a form of fallacy
Embers of becoming
Light a new world’s dawn
Ending of an Era
With no rebirth to come
Shadows that are rising
From the last remains
A repeating tragedy
The universe will soon forget
