Layers of Dark
07:42
|
|||
Cold winter night
The smell of death and earthworms
The dark shape
of a mountain trimmed against the sky
becomes alive and flies into the darkest void
Please be gone
Leave me here
Let me rest
You’re not real
The view from my window
Is nothing but a combination
Of different layers of dark
And it slowly begins
Not the first time but still
I can’t get used to the pressure
The smell, the sound, the eyes
Please be gone
Leave me here
Let me rest
You’re not real
Connect with your inner self
The root of your fears
The essence of your failures
The moments of grief
The air of your breath
The feeling on your hands
The taste of your pain
The now broken promises
Get… me… out!
Hide where you want, I will not leave you soon (Breaking fingers)
I am the reason why you feel so cruel (Suffocating)
You have no options so sit down and rest (Self-destructive)
Focus your mind in all that you crave
I won’t leave you
You are part of
me now, you are
me, I am yourself
Bond to me
Spread my wings
Take the leap
Set me free
An unbearable sight
For an unbearable night
The need to obtain
All of which can help
The bravery and might
Of those who can cry
The needs of a child
Whose shadow still fights
Fight with me
Learn and win
Clean your life
Let me die
Covered in ashes
A wish to reborn
Unreachable silence
A bond to beyond
Time still passes
Outside it’s the same
Malevolence and violence
All into one’s self

The Charontid
03:05
|
|||
Alien warfare
Brutal superiority
A tool to tame
Human's destiny
Evolved intelligence
Incarnates on the battlefield
Merciless delivery of death
Cold. Killing. Machine.
Blood harvester
Retriever of hope
Morale breaker
Leaves you to choke
Emotionless aspect
Built to terrorize
Sthygian earthquake
Shall bring your demise
You may outrun it
But you can't hide
You're never safe from
The Charontid
A haunting presence
Designed to hunt
You can't escape from
The Charontid
Sensors deploying
Tracking position
RUN
Target is locked
Your fate is sealed
You will not survive
It won't sleep
It won't stop so
Run for your life
You may outrun it
But you can't hide
You're never safe from
The Charontid
A haunting presence
Designed to hunt
You can't escape from
The Charontid
RUN

Beast Within
05:00
|
|||
Hunt
Cut their heads
Slash their limbs off with your saw
Shoot
Burn their bones
Get to the root of the scourge
Obliterate
Leave no beast behind yourself
Protect your kind
Guard their lives, help them hide
Face not the anger inside you
Embrace the path you didn’t choose
Our eyes are yet to open
Fear the Old Blood
Again we rise
With their blood on our hands
Against a plague
That we don’t understand
On and on again
With their blood on our hands
On and on again
With their blood on our hands
Hear
Communicate
Rely on the daughter of cosmos
Keep
The dreaming
The nightmare will give us answers
Red moon hangs low
Tainted by the hue of blood
A paleblood sky
A newborn comes, will it grant us eyes?
Resist the beast within yourself
On our wisdom we find strength
Our eyes are yet to open
Fear the Old Blood
Again, we rise
With their blood on our hands
Against a plague
That we must understand
On and on again
With their blood on our hands
On and on again
With their blood on our hands
Embrace the beast within yourself
We find wisdom on our strength
Our eyes are yet to open
Fear the Old Blood
Again we rise
With their blood on our hands
Against a plague
That we don’t understand
On and on again
With their blood on our hands
On and on again
With their blood on our hands
(On and on again)
Blood made us men
Blood made us more than men
Blood made us men no more
Fear the Old Blood

Echoes of the Black Days
05:42
|
|||
All that we’ve asked ourselves
Will fall like leaves over the edge
All the question marks that used to fill our heads
Will remain just like memories left to rest
Beat the grief down, and hit the concrete wall
The sound of the echoes of the black days
A song that is stuck on replay.
Tempt the wills and twists of fate
Or drown yourself under the rain
All the question marks that used to fill our heads
Will remain just like memories left to rest
All that we’ve asked ourselves
Will fall like leaves over the edge
Beat the grief down, hit the wall
Beat the grief down, hit the concrete wall
Solo: Diego
Thirsty, yourself, pressed by the forces of fate
“Speechless” she said, hurt. She’s not to blame.
Accept the last breath that you refuse to take.
And live.
Live.
Live.
Always and forever.
Always and forever.

Blood for the Gods
04:50
|
|||
All of us gathered
Into one place
Sun at its highest
There will be rain
The blood of the ones that are here
Let it serve our purpose
Let it fill the wills
Of the ones that are above
Hack and slash
wait for the creature then remove his heart
Cardiectomy, ritual demise.
Hack and slash
Crowds now scream for the rite.
Offer the token, the ritual is done
Wait for the creature
remove its heart
A simple procedure
to tear apart
The blood of the ones that are here
has served our purpose
to quench the wrath
of the ones that are above
Hack and slash
wait for the creature then remove its heart
Cardiectomy, ritual demise…
Hack and slash
Crowds now scream for the rite.
Offer the token, the ritual is done
Blood, blood, blood.
Blood for the Gods.
Gods, Gods.
Obsidian cuts.
Cuts, cuts.
They take the heart
So, the world keeps moving
Finish the ritual
a new sunrise
the gods seem pleased now
red hue in the sky
The blood of the ones that are here
will serve our purpose
will pour again
for the ones that are above
Blood, blood, blood.
Blood for the Gods.
Gods, Gods.
Obsidian cuts.
Cuts, cuts.
They take the heart
So, the world keeps moving
Cardiectomy, ritual demise.
Hack and slash
Crowds now scream for the rite.
Wait for the creature then remove its heart
Cardiectomy, ritual demise.
Hack and slash
Crowds now scream for the rite.
Grant the token for the ritual never we will clench our thirst for…
Blood, blood, blood.
Blood for the Gods.
Gods, Gods.
Obsidian cuts.
Cuts, cuts.
They take the heart
So, the world keeps moving
Blood, blood, blood.
Blood for the Gods.
Gods, Gods.
Obsidian cuts.
Cuts, cuts.
They take the heart
So, the world keeps moving

Circle Paradox I: Abuse
05:33
|
|||
Trapped in a cycle of lies.
Bound in secret demise
Alone and forgotten I cry
Sanity I leave behind.
Dark convoluted stains
Mark the sky in irregular forms
Circling, revolving
Your soon to be corpse
Trapped in a cycle of lies.
Bound in secret demise
Alone and forgotten I cry
Sanity I leave behind.
Unwiring connections
Morality is over, find a way to escape
This dream fades and you will be
Trapped in a cycle of lies.
Bound in secret demise
Alone and forgotten you die
Witnesses I won’t leave behind.
Turning our senses back.
To the factory settings.
Deafening our eyes
Blinding our ears
|

We need to create love out of nothing
An alternative to solitude
To find ourselves in the other person
And get lost in their look
That’s when disappointment comes
The desire which clashes with reality
What do I do to be happy?
Is there happiness in me?
The meaning of life
Running away or stay fighting
A killing joke, so stiff
The eternal return to nothing
Far from my shelter it grows,
and I can’t breathe.
Crawls, beneath my eyes.
Overriding
Senses are voided, my
hands are weighed down.
On a cloud of mist I try but
can’t overcome the fear
Trapped in a circle of lies.
[Doctor of plague extirpates the outbreak of hatred]
Bound in secret demise
[Under the wings of the raven pain is the norm]
Alone and forgotten I cry
[Doctor of plague extirpates the outbreak of hatred]
Sanity I leave behind.
[Under the wings of the raven pain is the norm]
Thorns expanding
Climbing through skin and lungs
Fear spreading as I walk
Familiar eyes
I can see them through the fog
Shining so bright
Same breathing cadence
Decayed, broken, aging,
a life beginning to rot
Drowning in myself to blame you
For the things that I have done
All the loneliness I felt before
Be the scapegoat of my wrath
Ghost of the past
banishing all my dreams
blacksmith that forged all my chains
Silence quietly
Staining, marking, erasing
all of my words
|

A black crow has laid its wings
On what will be your sliced corpse
Waxed cloth
The leather gloves will throttle you
Glassy eyes
Just as empty as yours
Doctor of plague extirpates the outbreak of hatred
Under the wings of the raven pain is the norm
Now I’m tearing apart
The limbs that made me feel this pain
I feel alive
Now that you have met my own hell
Suffer my bloodlust.
Doctor of plague extirpates the outbreak of hatred
Under the wings of the raven pain is the norm
Become the sacrifice for the renewal of the soul
Surrender before the crow-faced ghoul.
Trapped in a circle of lies.
Bound in secret demise
Alone and forgotten I cry
Sanity I leave behind.
[Witness]
Mask away I perfume myself with miasma
Reflected in blood I can see myself years ago.
When I turned around, I understood the horrible truth.
The circle of violence must continue now.
To ensure the silence of the innocent child.

Shadow out of Time
06:41
|
|||
Twenty-two years of nightmares and terror in my heart
Trapped inside myself, my physical form was left behind
My body governed by something
Far more gracious and evolved
Identity theft on a cosmic scale
As I’m trapped in another world
Through amnesia and through the fear
Through my memories and hope
Something strange, quite unreal,
A Greater Race, gained control
Accept the cosmos
Life is not what it seemed to be
In the seething vortex of time
We ride unaware
I see
Inside
My mind
An endless reaction
To be
Denied
By time
Dismantled horizon
A five-year lapsus
Body was not mine
Host controlled my life
Right through synapsis
Flashes of warzones
Grasping their knowledge
Learning to survive
Accept the cosmos
Life is not what it seemed to be
In the seething vortex of time
We ride unaware
I see
Inside
My mind
The endless reaction
To be
Denied
By time
Dismantled horizon
I see
Inside
My mind
To be
Denied
By time
