Apostate
06:17
|

Too long have I dwelled in your presence
Your baneful word and teachings
Lies of a promised comfort taught throughout centuries
To confuse, to derange and numb the conscious mind
The nature of our existence
Is rooted in the earth, to her we shall return
And this one truth I embrace without fear
I will not befoul my temple with false words of deliverance
My soul is bound to no one, my will is mine alone
I will not give in to weakness and be chained
By fabled words of salvation and grace
But don't dare tell me that I'm lost,
When you're the one who blindly sold his soul

Veil of Deceit
07:32
|
|||
See here our saints, the holy men of god
Lifeless their gaze and empty their hands
Frozen are their folds
Statues cold as death
A façade
That gave emptiness a face
God does not live here in this church
I am the only one alive, alone
In this holy house of nothing
The only one to stand, conscious
In this house of lies
I wish for these walls to crumble
For all saints to fall and break
To see rats, and roaches feast upon
Rotting sanctimonious bread

Insanity Restored
09:37
|
|||
A meritless king of burden
One who is without a throne or crown
A serpent is squirming through his kingdom
poison defiles his grounds
Words in the tongue of the Sirens
Their songs are what he speaks
lustful are their melodies
As they linger tranquil and seductive in the deep
The cracks in his mask of sanity
grow larger every day
And the sickness of his mind
Slowly comes to light
Come see this king of burden
The God infested inside his head
Keeps gruelling His one believer
Keeps pushing him further to the edge,
Further to the edge
He cloaks himself in fear
He defiles his name in shame
Desecrates his temple and believers
Disgustful and unclean he shall remain

Sleepless
08:39
|
|||
Grinning, voices echo
In the emptiness of the mind
Shallow breathing
Crying eyes
The cold hand of Death
Dragging away the will to live
Care not
Take all that is and was
I cannot speak, choking upon
Tears and words; tattered and torn
Hatefull fragments of a stolen future
I just want to sleep
and never wake
The door is locked
And the eyes are shut

Departure
07:24
|
|||
Screams from the past echo ever on
An unsettling feeling
A stranger freely roams
The hunter invokes
A slumbering past
Draws his arrow
A shot to the heart
Fresh blood flows again
from an old wound
that bearly healed
The eye loses sight
The heart loses life
The mind has lost
The will to live
A cry for fire
Purging flames
To rid the body
Of mortal pain
|

Forlorn
09:40
|
|||
Open eyes, sleeping like a babe
Lulled to sleep by lies,
Brightly sung
Blind and wrong
Blind and wrong
Blind and wrong
Rotting, rotting roots
Every tree the same
Bearing tainted fruits
A fetid yield
Cannot be healed
Will not be healed
What comfort, in a ruinous refuge?
Bound to masts of ships
Believing it will save
But it's sinking
But it's sinking
