Lyrics


1. LEFT UNSPOKEN (NEW VERSION)

I'm failing to bring peaceful emotions
For a reason which I cannot perceive
But for a moment I am lost
In my own mind, alone
Those painful memories come flooding back
Like a sea of tortured deities
I will die believing life is worthless
For depression describes my every thought
No longer is love relevant
To love would be to die
To look at what has already been looked at
Every day by myself
Has stopped my mind from acknowledging
The quality of this earth's belongings
All words are lost within a desperate imagination
For rain does not cease to fall in my mind
A grey cloud dwells behind my eyelids
I do not thrive on anything but the thought of dying
Leaving this earth is my soul aim in life
Doom to me is revelation.....


2. THE EPITOME OF GODS AND MEN ALIKE

You shall be cast down
Before even dreams were dreamt of
There existed misery
Epitome of gods and men alike
Tormented as they struggled
Amidst chaos, twisted beings did mesh as one
Not yet beyond the evil
To be as waxen idols...
Crafted with the blackest hand of matter
Birthed was the unseeing eye
Divinity remained...
Silence the unhearer
Burden thy path not more
Shade the beacon light
Keep hidden from ones
When seek not paths of worth
Drink the Soma
Vision the white lotus
Seated upon the thousandth petal
Crucified to the days of three
Emerge, open thy eye
View the innate and dream the dream
Behold the nirvanic temple...


3. A SLOW MARCH TO THE BURIAL

Black painted hearse idles slowly,
Procession follows at a morbid pace,
The pallbearers steady in their march,
Befitting this most sacred ceremony

Ornate brass handles clasped
By solemn faced black clad men
Shining black casket lid
Inlaid in crimson silk

In there lies your father, son...

A father to a son and a son to a father
Now claimed by the coldest hand of death

Faintest scent of fresh cut white rose petal
Choked by the musty scent of fresh turned earth

Funereal they march... Funereal they march...
Funereal they march... Funereal they march


4. DESCENT OF THE FLAMES

Like the joining of two mighty seas
The star stream of darkness meets
The paleness of dawn
Shattering the backbone of night
From the horizon and across the skies

Brilliant flames first red
Climb slowly to the white heat,
Lucent slendor arcs westward
The shadows cast betrays,
As if borne by four winds

Overtaking, Overtaking, Inexorable

The descent of flames,
The rise of calm twilight,
As the night smothers the day...


5. ELEMENTAL (THERGOTHON COVER)

Black clouds colide until the storm is ready to burst
Waves rise from the sea and the swells stretch up to the sky
Hills tremble in agony as the earth is to yawn
The mist turns to smoke when the flames lick the materia

"The powers of the sea sea, the earth, the winds and the fire,
Can you hear my chant?"

Fall asleep, fall into darkness
Elemental powers break the chain
Fall eternal through the pits of time
Spiritual desecration

"That is not dead which can eternal lie
And with strange aeons even death may die."
(Abdul Alhazred)

"Tnvisible hands grope at my throat
Those eyes staring at me... what a misery..."

A dimensional shambler took him beyond the bounds
Of dimensions
