The City
09:01
|
|||
There is a city in the shadow of the mountain
Where footsteps turn to echoes in the sand
Faces are a blur of colors, failing to take form
Words return to senders’ lips in the form of scattered hands
Children dance in terminal deceit before the ghost
Who watches on with hopelessness as he is choked
By smoke and ash that billow from the ever reddened ground
Life and death in the shadow of the arches of a crown
This city, it becomes you
This skyline, it consumes you
You will never be one of us
The circle may never break
The tongue perched on dry lips, to speak through staggered breath
Hopeful eyes unsheath themselves to beg for life from death
Leather skin surrounds the wounded beast that crawls
His wings collapse in crumbled heaps, beneath the sun, silence falls
The wall opens up like a gaping maw to consume the dying mass
And from the maw steps forth a man in an ancient golden mask
He looks down upon the failing limbs and organs of the lost
And says “for all your life you’ve been searching for your god”
“Here I am”
The golden mask, the glory of enlightenment
The spirit fades and transcends but I am always present
The golden mask, the glory of enlightenment
The spirit fades and transcends but I am always present
I can help you shed your skin of sorrow
I can mend the bones you broke wandering here
I can carry you before the conquering sun
I can hide you in a temple bare
I can help you shed your skin of sorrow
I can mend the bones you broke wandering here
I can carry you before the conquering sun
I can hide you in a temple bare

The Hunter Of Men
04:11
|
|||
The law and the punishment
An eye for an eye
The god and the sovereign sentence
A lie for a lie
The hopeless and the hiding
A scar for a scar
The mask and the right hand silence
A god for a god
I am the hunter of men
The serpent breathing down my neck
The urge is growing stronger
I can feel the hunger
Through hunger for blood I find god
A heart for a heart
Be stilled in your grave or your hiding
A dark for a dark
Night or day, the cycle never breaks
A soul for a soul
You’re just a boy, left all alone
A world for a world
I am the hunter of men
The serpent breathing down my neck
The urge is growing stronger
I can feel the hunger
Save your breath, there is no use trying to escape
Save your words, they mean nothing to the state
Save yourself, they won’t care what you’ve made
Save your tears, they’re a waste of good suffering
Every drop of blood you spill puts new flesh on my bones
But I’ll warn you now, one day the blood you spill will be your own
Save your breath, there is no use trying to escape
Save your words, they mean nothing to the state
Save yourself, they won’t care what you’ve made
Save your tears, they’re a waste of good suffering
I am the hunter of men
The serpent breathing down my neck
The urge is growing stronger
I can feel the hunger
I am the hunter of men
The serpent breathing down my neck
The urge is growing stronger
I can feel the hunger

The Music Of The Spheres
03:57
|
|||
I’ll sail into the void before I learn
How to sing the songs of the primeval forest
That echo with the voices of the ancients
And leave the scent of fire on the breath
This sun is hollow, but let’s just let it remain
Let me wallow in my false destiny
The moon hides my face from the dark
Hides my mediocrity...
My mediocrity...
Dance with me, one last time
The spheres are so beautiful tonight
The forest is teeming with life
It destroys me with a turn of a light
Cut my soul from my body
I deserve nothing but an empty shell
I ought to be what I feel like I am
A god, dying in hell
This sun is hollow, but let’s just let it remain
Let me wallow in my false destiny
The moon hides my face from the dark
Hides my mediocrity
My mediocrity...
My mediocrity...
My mediocrity...
My mediocrity...

The Gilded Spirit
05:18
|
|||
The moon will come through the black of night
Shining gold and silver, all alight
The pauper laid in his lonely grave
No one to mourn his unsung name
This wretched creature, who walks wearing rags
Stands before me, his soul in his hands
What care should I give to the practically dead?
Presenting his wealth from the hole in his head
Let the light shine forever
Ties to the past we all must sever
The rising moon, the cold of the truth
Why should I care for anything but your value?
Where’s your heart? Locked up tight
The hand behind the fading eyes
Strings of gold, silver puppet
Dance for me, marionette
This emaciated street-worn heathen
Prostrating before me, displaying his weakness
Tear your heart from your well worn chest
And burn it as an offering to the holy In death
Let the light shine forever
Ties to the past we all must sever
The rising moon, the cold of the truth
Why should I care for anything but your value?
What is a spirit without a material form?
I have never felt a wound, you are an open sore
Tell me again, why should I care for a dying god?
Life in death, are you already so fucking lost?
What is a spirit without a material form?
I have never felt a wound, you are an open sore
Tell me again, why should I care for a dying god?
Life in death, are you already so fucking lost?

Deus Mechanica
07:56
|
|||
You are wet and uncontrolled animals with no sense of resolve
Beasts acting on instinct, holding onto absent souls
You are so easy to kill and so very quick to decompose
You are just slaves to your world, I have seen your kind before
Mortality passing me by
It’s far too late for me to die
Mortality passing me by
If only you could see the world with my eyes
Your weak limbs move to commune like flailing serpents
In that useless, horrid ritual in which you hunt for purpose
You seek to spawn the future of your pitiful, dying race
When you jettison the body that will only take up space
Mortality passing me by
It’s far too late for me to die
Mortality passing me by
If only you could see the world with my eyes
You’ll die without me
But you’ll still die with me
Tell me why it matters
That you keep existing
You’ll die without me
But you’ll still die with me
Tell me why it matters
That you keep existing
Reality is out of phase, drowning in the sand
Imperfections in the simulacrum of a dying man
Deconstruct your sorrow in the symbiotic Christ
You are just another one in a never ending line

Tear Away The Sky
08:37
|
|||
You all seem so far away
Through the clouds and the wind, all meaning fades
The life down below finds a way, I suppose
But I’m just too far away
I watched as you walked to the gate
Collapsed in a heap, what a shame
That they let you in, where the sinners sin
Cause I’ll watch you till the end of your days
I can see the light on the horizon
Everything is swallowed by the sun
I can see the light on the horizon
Everything is swallowed by time
The birds turn to shadows in the sun
A feather falls, only one
To touch the mortal earth, and sing a little dirge
But here I am, a shadow in the sun
I can see the light on the horizon
Everything is swallowed by the sun
I can see the light on the horizon
Everything is swallowed by time
Tear away the sky to view the heavens
A tale of dying sons and dying suns
Tear away the sky to see forever
Nothing will exist when we are gone
Tear away the sky to view the heavens
A tale of dying sons and dying suns
Tear away the sky to see forever
Nothing will exist when we are gone

Falling In Lust
05:49
|

Envuelto en belleza, las extremidades estire
Alrededor de él herido animal
Labios, mojado con mentiras, hablan más allá de las palabras de dios
Respiracion, intenso, ritmico
Un solo sonido, escapando
Del fauces de la araña
Flotando perfecto en la oreja del muerto
Exhalacion del vida
Perfume, ebriedad
Despacio, lágrimas incontenible
Las manos de las Moiras quiten la velo
Revelando todo
El pagano en los manos de oro, delante del sol
Iluminación sin significado
Un templo del pecado soberano
Belleza cruda
Deja quitarme la dolor
Un solo toque, y todo desaparecerá
No te preocupes mas, tengo tus respuestas
Aquí, aquí
Toma mi mano y ámame
Olvídate del dios sobre mi
Toma mi mano y ámame
Tu puedes hacer cualquier cosa que yo diga
Baila como una marioneta en mis ojos.
Ruega por mi
Mantenga su cabeza por encima de la luz
Mírame a los ojos
Rimel negro gotea en un charco de sangre
Una red de mentiras
No hay nada que temer
Te lo prometo mi amor
Deja quitarme la dolor
Un solo toque, y todo desaparecerá
No te preocupes mas, tengo tus respuestas
Aquí, aquí
Toma mi mano y ámame
Olvídate del dios, sobre mi
Toma mi mano y ámame
Tu harás cualquier cosa que yo diga

The Derelict Tower

Inevitability
Everything ends
The waves of time will crash upon the shores
And wash away what we have made
Let it be
Let it just remain
Let it stay the same
Nothing matters in reality’s wake
Ananke, reach out and touch me
Carry me into the endless shadow of the water
Undying, eternal
Forever, forever, forever…
Let it fall to ruins
Let it fall away
It all decays in the end
Life is just the slow path to oblivion
Dereliction, desolation cometh
Escape is a useless prolonging
Acceptance is the breath of life
Believe in naught but death
From whence emerged life?
To there, so shall it return
Washed away in a flood of blackness
Never to know purpose
Ananke, reach out and touch me
Carry me into the endless shadow of the water
Undying, eternal
Forever, forever, forever…
Let it fall to ruins
Let it fall away
It all decays in the end
Life is just the slow path to oblivion
Undying, eternal sorrow
Let me lie in a pool of despair
Do not cry out to him
He never heard you before and he won’t start now
Undying, eternal sorrow
Let me lie in a pool of despair
Do not cry out to him
He never heard you before and he won’t start now
Let it fall to ruins
Let it fall away
It all decays in the end
Life is just the slow path to oblivion

Blood On The Sand
03:22
|

Ta bestia nas przyniosła
Nic tylko marnotrawstwo i ból
A teraz przestępstwo tak haniebne
Nie wiem, jak to nazwać
Ręce sięgające nieba
Módlcie się do boga w zapomnieniu
Ziemia spadła z niebios
Cienie otaczające wszystko
Straszny widok, czarny jak noc
Dusza tego upadłego
Straszne, nawet spójrz na to
Czemu miałoby mi zależeć
Pustka rozciąga się do przodu
Boskość jest nieobecna
Czy nic nie zostało
Cienie dławią ziemię
Pogański! Zdrajca! Kłamca
Poluj na zabójcę Boga na krańce ziemi
Pogański! Zdrajca! Kłamca
Poluj na zabójcę Boga na krańce ziemi
Pogański! Zdrajca! Kłamca
Poluj na zabójcę Boga na krańce ziemi
Pogański! Zdrajca! Kłamca
Poluj na zabójcę Boga na krańce ziemi

Black Chapel
09:16
|
|||
The melting sky drips into a flailing form
Desecrating lights, falling below the swarm
The ocean foam returns unto the dying world
Eyes cut apart being held by broken arms
Rituals and shadows, sorrow flees the heart
A chapel on the edge of dissipating art
This city it becomes you, the despair, it carries on
Let it be the same, the same as it always was
Take off the mask, let the light shine through the surface
You should leave if you want to save yourself now
The dream of a dying man, eternal in its wake
The last hopes, remove the soul, destroy everything
Birds landing upon a strung up ashen place
Falling from the sky onto a pauper’s blackened plate
Tearing bloody serpents from the newly broken rock
The surrounding tribes of judah, all but dead and gone
Set fire to the animals, let them act as the lost
Never return the blackness to the dying God
Take off the mask, let the light shine through the surface
You should leave if you want to save yourself now
This cathedral of shadow
A vastness before me
A dying god begging me
For a forgiveness he shall not receive
The void, forever
The void, eternal
The crushing weight of all this sorrow
The endlessness of no tomorrow
Your throne is falling from the sky
Your god is built on fucking lies
The hopelessness collapses here
Take off that mask, remove the fear
This just another death
Emptiness
Emptiness
Emptiness
Crushed under the weight of God’s
Sorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
You are just another
Emptiness
Emptiness
Emptiness
Crushed under the weight of God’s
Sorrow
Sorrow
Sorrow
You are just another dying god
The void, forever
The void, eternal
The crushing weight of all this sorrow
The endlessness of no tomorrow
This cathedral of shadow
A vastness before me
A dying god’s robes lie empty
I must maintain illusions, gently

A Death
12:57
|
|||
Staring out at a loving populace
Watching as the earth decays into mist
The cheers, meaning well, turn to mockery and pain
And always the laughter remains
I need to keep up illusions
Keep the walls together once again
Apathy and desolation, burning away
My dreams are cold and grey
Watching from the other side
Waiting for the death of light
At night, the only time that I find peace
Let me be, just let me leave
They love me, can’t you see?
The devil in the arms of christ
The only thing left now
Is to remove the blackened sky
It never washes off
It never goes away
It always stays the same
Let the cycle never break
Let it never change
Let the cycle never break
The laughter still remains
Let the cycle never break
Watching from the other side
Waiting for the death of light
At night, the only time that I find peace
Let me be, just let me leave
They love me, can’t you see?
The devil in the arms of christ
The only thing left now
Is to remove the blackened sky
The death of light
The depths of blackest night
Remove the grey eyesight
The firing line decaying faster
Than the rest of my failing corpse
I am just another one
This is just another form
Another name for blackness is light
One in the same
Let the cycle never break
One in the same
Let it just remain
And always the laughter
And always the laughter
And always the laughter
He died in my place
Life and death in the shadow of the mountain
Life and death in the shadow of the mountain
Life and death in the shadow of the mountain
Life and death in the shadow of the mountain
Let it stay the same, let it never change
Let the cycle never break
Let it stay the same, let it never change
Let the cycle never break
This city it becomes you
This skyline it consumes you
You will never be one of us
Let the circle never break
You are just another one
You are just another one
You are just another one
They will not remember you
You are just another one
You are just another one
You are just another one
They will not remember you
The king of the dead
The kingdom of the dying
The ghost of resistance
Death and oblivion
I can help you shed your skin of sorrow
I can mend the bones you broke wandering here
I can carry you before the conquering sun
I can kill you with me there
They fall asleep
To the sound of empty vessels
Crying out for warmth
In a world in which it has died
They fall asleep
To the sound of empty vessels
Crying out for warmth
In a world in which it has died
