DISC 1 - SHADES OF GOD


1. MORTALS WATCH THE DAY

Plead forgiveness father
All my troubles fade from view
Pale the four walls surround
Have I madness in my eyes?

While mortals watch the day
Our fear will pave the way
Hidden until the end

See a room of crimson
Nothing I have seen before
Coldness wrapped around me
Struggle not, for Hell is here

While tyrants close the doors
Each one will know the score
Sorrow takes it all

Saved the sick of life's bliss
Charity of utmost guilt
Fear the blinded temper
It has lied it's way to you

While mortals watch the day
And light has turned to grey
What lies up ahead

Light shines into your eyes
That I'm blinded by, your eyes
Mortal throughout the days
Until we're saved

Turning to black
I can't see through this
No option from turning away
Will we see another day


2. CRYING FOR ETERNITY

Lying here alone and cold
And I'm waiting for the dawn
Laughter at my every move
As if crippled by my thoughts
And I'm burning cold, burning cold

You prevail in the end
(Unlike your God's obscenity)
Hating the disgrace
(Of a child's insanity)
I'm taken all the more
And I'll take all that I see
You'll do it all for me
(Is this the end - it cannot be)

All the more, you feed off my rejection
All the more, I tear your soul in two

Lonely are my tears of pain
And I'm punished by their cause
I'll rest on my burning throne
A release I move towards is eternal sleep

All the more, I battle through the heartache
All the more, I'd lay myself to rest


3. EMBRACED

Pain is what we are waiting for
Lying deep in comfort, I awake now
I cannot believe this tale
I cannot believe the echoes, or your petty lies

Take away our world, thrown into the stars
Take away our world, worship all that's ours

Cry at echoes in your heart
Lying in the ocean until the end of time
Solitude embracing us
Suicide our hearts embrace
Life and death become the race

Take away the world, hold it to the sky
Take away the world, pity your demise

Array of fear, controls me now
And I cry - In dark despair


4. DAYLIGHT TORN

I am oppressed by lack of power holding on until the end
Helping me tread on your life, life is the game, strengthen my anger
Reshape the misguided times see me then, die, fate has control of us all
Blemish the quest of all create the dread

Waiting in line, lost in all your prayer, lost in your insanity
It seems to be real soothing the pain that you feel
Can't find the key to destiny, life is your quest, erase your quest

Your Christ is failing you, like poison running through
Does God know what to do, as I tell the harboured truth
While grief lies at your door, for shreds of flesh you've torn
The pain comes back for me, too vague for you to see

Lord, smile at me
My ashes have scattered the plains, they won't return again
Lord, stare at me
Wait for me here to rise, rise again, rise again

Finding the truth, behind lies, logic is paralysed
Feeding the flesh, consuming the rest
You'll reach your end, you'll pay the debts and silently send


5. PITY THE SADNESS

Sadness lives after we die
The pains of life increased outright
Contempt and sins priorities
To crush good fortune to it's knees
Morning...

Morning's calm, inside I cry
This painful life has raped my mind
Take me down, slow release
From sorrow's penetration
Morning...

Life is there for me
Hell is there for me

Sunlight greets my open wounds
Morning's light reflects the doom
My soul is free, it lives again
To roam alone in darkness
Morning...

I've cried for God
And I've cried for you
I pray that in the end your sense will break through

Sadness lives after we die
The pains of life increased outright
Contest my sins priorities
Crushed my spirit to its knees


6. NO FORGIVENESS

I have seen for myself
The rogues of all life born
And I'm lying through the night
My solemn end
And a cold touch of death
Takes my hand
The only way... The only way

Well, I'm fighting for my life
And I'm wasting away the time I've got left
The only way... The only way

Hearing you talk is a waste of silence
I can't bare... I no longer care

I create the cross that I must wear
And I am flying to my plight successfully
The only way...

Turning around to an empty space
I cried despair... I no longer care


Feelings of remorse
Now locked away, another day, to live again

Feeling the pressure high
Holding on to the fire


7. YOUR HAND IN MINE

Pay the deadly price
Lift the fallen prize
Told you soon will die
Sin that sails alight
Carry ungodly crimes
Travelling out of reach
Taking the weight of the night upon my back
You cannot believe the pain that I've seen

Crawling out of life my fire is strong
Can it be, I can't go on?
And I'm hurt now, don't turn your back

Changing ways, events prolong
Hidden by the mist, insinuate what's gone

Your hand in mine
We'll reach the sign of plains above us
Your hand in mine
Unholy times of pain relentless

Forced to watch not eagerly
Breaking hearts with words and all ecstasy

Your hand in mine
Reveal all life, uphold all others
Your hand in mine
Are you alive, with flames of sadness


8. THE WORD MADE FLESH

It looks to kill
And fails to wait in sight
It twists me from inside
Carry all, heal the sore, I can no longer bleed
What is this, thing I've been, you can set me free
The one I see, a blinded fool corrupting me
From within, worn away

Find, by mind, abusive ways
Allures me from restrain (I'd kill while others rape)
Create the obscene, you can set me free
Sense predicts the scorn
The hour of peace is gone
The one I see, a blind dead fool - Forever be
Burning me

Worn fools that prey
On a faith filled day
Laughter stays, out of my way
Pass through my dismay


9. AS I DIE

Stare as eyes uphold me
And wait to see right through
And curse me - The love has crippled you

Shadows haunt the night
Burning my disguise

Reaping through the truth
Life becomes untrue

Sin the last diversion
My fate will be untouched
Dismissed now, the anger of a fool

Shadows haunt the night
Forgive me as I die

Taking a chance
And take what you gain
My soul is has no price
Total release is out of harms way
Until I can decide
You punish me, can't you see, I'm not real
Tears are flowing free, passing by, as I die


DISC 2 - ICON


1. EMBERS FIRE

A fallen time that's bygone
A crude elite that's from a distant zone
You'll turn a blind eye on what's brave
You don't know if it's the truth you told

Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones

Hold back desire for danger
A bet you'll lose you'll have no way to turn
I see the man who lives and breathes corruption
Into a circle that you call your own

Don't run away, from the pain, a claim that you deal with
A power game, from within, impossible for you to see this

Laid down the laws of deceit
The ones who cherish are the ones who'll go
Into the ashes of a tortured world
Only in mind's eye can you see a light

Harmony breaks, dark awakes, in old eyes - The trouble feel it
Here to stay, mark the way, improvise the judgement hearing

Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones

All remains of the glowing embers
Is a bleak cold irrelevance


2. REMEMBRANCE

I am the one, to which you'll go
You are the one, from which I'll run...

Fading to grey, the wanton pray

You'll find shelter, I'll find none
I'll leave your pointless life undone

Breaking your days, my anguish stays

Fate, fate of my laughter, the loss of your sight
Hate, hating the vicious lies, I will revel insane

I see your face, I've seen your face
I turn and run, you'll have no place

Time, time is the father, in my corrupt mind
Pain, echoes in a silent sky...
Remember life now?

Do you remember life now?


3. FORGING SYMPATHY

A mass of breathing souls
For times are desolate
Passing judgement on my sentence
As I perceive my dying day

Give me a promise
The word I will never hear
Sympathies forging, stalling in me

I'm closing all the doors
While my frown remains
Until I reach my golden haven
I'll let the sadness pass my way

Preaching the words of angels, to a darker side of man

My halo's fading with all the sin I deal
Have I been banished, a forgery

Sear, the tender feeling as my solar glow dies
And I'm waiting for my sweet Hell
You'll wait for your Hell, I wish you Hell

In time the hate corrodes
Our brains are desolate
And this prison which we serve in
Will be a witness to our pains

Preaching the words of angels, to a darker side of man


4. JOYS OF THE EMPTYNESS

Breathing here, and the air is clear
Changes of which I could forsee

Violence caressing, impending distress
As my body lay sleeping, eternally bleeding, and...

Shallow despair, broken years cannot repair
Summoned here, and all must see the hypocrisy
Peel back the face, the sorry mind, a vacant space
Born deprived, the moods expired in reality

A fantasy based on harmony
A victim released accordingly

Scatter the ashes, remains of life's passages
Mocking and meaningless, joys of the empty, and...

Mighty and proud, reaching up to touch the shroud
Tangled here, and far beyond from atrocity
Frozen and cold, bleak the memories of old
Times capsize the born desires for technology


5. DYING FREEDOM

As a withered hand grips tight through fear
The cold caressing rains
The reaping arms of silence, evolve for us to see

Overruled by a lack of patience, it's untold
That's the secret that has made us

Constructive powers flow desire
The last intense degree
Scratching at the surface, for all of us to...

Gather round, the secrets that you know
And the speech that makes blood flow
Blame desire, you'll blame revenge

Standing at the solemn shores
Where blessed fools are born
Happiness is wasted, wasted blood and tears

Re-abuse infiltration, it's untold
Raping life from other nations

The ritual explosive fires
Rewarding enemies
Shells of empty faces here, crying to be free

Gather round, the secrets that you know
And the speech that makes blood flow
Blame desire, you'll blame revenge

Dying free, the spirits gather round
While the soul lays underground
Will the voices call again?


6. WIDOW

You're breaking a chain
Lying until you can erase the past
Born with a look of deceit
Praying that all the bitter guilt's defeated
Born...

Stand on your own, killed from behind
Fools are blind, unwilling to accept, decline
You'll turn a blind eye

Bought by a sickening man
The weakened gather just as fast as they can
'Whore' is what the people roar
From fear of rejection you'll come back for more
Strong, don't see that love has ceased
In the end, only death can release

Stand on your own, killed from behind
Fools are blind, you're on a lonely road


7. COLOSSAL RAINS

Into a depth of haze, I'll see you dead
The colossal rains flow like the breeze

A sheltered scenery as the arms outstretch for me

You'll never walk again
(In a sorry sea of pale sound uplifting
Here, dark waters flow free through
The archways of silent dreams)

Brought back from centuries, creations seen
The colossal rains, the mortal spirits drained

Can this be real, what the frozen rains reveal

You'll never walk again
(Hear cries, way of reach and shallow
The silver breathes, the sun wakes the
Sleeping heat and drowns in a mass disease)


8. WEEPING WORDS

Fear this more (the more) than the hands of man's (disgrace)
It crushes forth (resenting) conquest it's plan

Don't look back, will I ever see your face again?

The domination (is in all) imagination (space)
Caress endlessly (until we) inflame the soul...

Failing to return what's borrowed, devoting rights to me
I see a Summer of Winters merging gracefully

Don't look back, will we ever see your face again?
Don't look back, will I hear the weeping words again?


9. POISON

Come taste a century of hatred
Free from the sanity of them

Is there something, that you see in all of them
Non-believer, a time will come, but when?

All you worship in life destroyed by human hands
Spare the trouble you feel, save a breath for your next

Spit on the laws that I made for you
Betray the treasures within hearts

Is there something in death that you think reflects your life?
Come taste the loss that I feel, challenge paradise

All you worship in life destroyed by human hands
Save the trouble you feel, a treasure with no price

It's disturbing, the joy I feel, but I feel it more


10. TRUE BELIEF

Wretched will, host of pleasure surreal
Closed the room where the last is buried
Rise or fall at your master's request
You're unable to accept redemption

I don't know about a true belief here
With the lost it's the same as always

All I want is the same
All I want is a true belief

You can't wait to become a memory
With the weak it's the same as always
Stand confused lack of comprehension
Re-aroused by a thought of madness

And I know that the truth is always right
But it's time to search for lies
You're the one I try to save
But the blood spills from your veins

All I want is the same
All I want is a true belief

Call counting time 'til the end
Death's wicked smile never fails
The curse is cast and you've lost the past forever more
A candle burns here no more

I don't know about a century of life
When the love of generations die
I can see no good in taking your own life
When any moment death calls

All I want is the same
To be part of the game
All I want is a true belief


11. SHALLOW SEASONS

The sullen man before me turns a head and demonstrates
The power of a weak mind can't conceal or captivate

It's lost in a bleak scope of fragmented ways
Eternal non-events occur throughout its poor days
You're lost forever, unable to see yourself
The thoughts arising, there's no disguising
Where you've been...

Reveal to me, your mind's identity

You'll pay, pay for the feelings that you feed me
Don't hold on to what you call a life

Anger compels a force of weakness or fear
I'll promise no forgiveness for the rest of my years
A negative release, subliminal urge
Unwise declining, grey thoughts reviving all the way

Your fallen prey, a loser pays

You'll pay, pay for the feelings that you feed me
Don't hold on to what you call a life


12. CHRISTENDOM

Innocence, beneath this sorry veil I see you have
Plentitude, the sweetness of a new born child
It's lost deserted reverence

For my life and the stars creation
For my life it's the same rejection
Lost in life, I'll blame it all on you

Loss of hope, failing situation
Readapt, death is life's temptation
Dying slow, I'll blame it all on you

Resurrect, the harsh tones of our self contempt recall
Fail to breathe, in sight no normal state of mind
In time the hour will fail to chime

They betray, uphold the law, accuse the future

13. DEUS MISEREATUR

(Instrumental)


DISC 3 - DRACONIAN TIMES


1. ENCHANTMENT

Like a fever, fever - inside of me
Like a fever, fever - inside of me
Stand fast, faithful one
See the moon and not the sun but I......
All I need is a simple reminder
Breakdown frail affairs
Turn from the elsuive starts but I......
All I need is a simple reminder
Guilt is feeding, feeding, inside I'm cold
In depth grasp the chains
Struggle as the waters gain but I......
All I need is a simple reminder
Observe the formation fight until the battle's won
But I...... All I need is a simple reminder
There's no rule to say you'll cry alone
Just find the strength to help you carry the load
Reverse the frown and let the power surge
But when alone you cannot resist the urge
Feel it, feel it, like the pain of dying
Feel it, feel it, like the pain of dying
Hold on face to face damaged by the
sad disgrace but I......
All I need is a simple reminder
Twisting the knife in vain end the
grief but whol will gain but I......
All I need is a simple excuse


2. HALLOWED LAND

You'd love to be so far away
It's not a long way to go, it's gonna end in your pain
Greet open handed stranger
Create the turmoil, you're not sane
I want the last one to go to embers will revive,
So stay
You want to live a life time each and every day
You've struggled before, I swear to do it again
You've told it before till I, until I'm weakened and sore
Seek hallowed land
You'd love to see right through my veins
The pale reflection tells all, predominations sustain
Crawl over land or mountain in
sight the ultimate escape
A silhouette subsiding, enticed unable to relate
You want to live a lifetime each and every day
You've beckoned before, you'll never do it again
You've prayed before who are the prayers for
Begone the fools that lead me - I need not to know
accept reclining spirit I need to endure
You try to live a lifetime each and every day
In this short time of promise, you're a memory......


3. THE LAST TIME

It's a struggle with a failures frown
And it crashes in front of me
I see the clouds divide
Will you stay or try to leave
The time you're looking at through the door
And think to walk right through
I want to ignore
I only wish that it passes soon
I raise a sunken smile
As I serve only the ones who served
What can I achieve
As you steal the air I breathe
A cruel misfortune
Forbidding is to see
When stories may collide
It's a sad state of mind
Hearts beating for the last time
Hearts beating it is a state of mind
Hearts beating for the last time
The peace you cannot find


4. FOREVER FAILURE

You must feel frustration
Cause your mind feels such temptation
And your ways appear a total lack of faith
You may feel elation
At your body's re-creation
And that joy you need, restricted by one thought
Are you forever - loss of purpose in a passive life
Are you forever - pale, regarded as a waste of time
High times are courageous
But in truth they suit no purpose
Induced, reduced, unable and afraid......
Can you feel rejection
And a lack of motivation
And the joy you need restricted and delayed


5. ONCE SOLEMN

Once solemn, the thing I'm leaving alone
Once solemn, the looks that turn one to stone
And I'm learning the highs and the lows of the panic inside
And I'm learning the highs and the lows of the fake promises
Your powers electrify me
Your prowess repels apathy
Your image can turn your soul to stone
Can't find another way
Can't find the words to say......
Unchaining the thing that's holding me down
And it's frustrating, the pressure's getting me down
And it's trying to live with a bad decision every day
It's a fever that's eating away in search for a fast release
Your powers electrify me
Devour the one that's guilty
Your image can turn a soul to stone
Can't find another way
Can't find the words to say......
Your powers electrify me
Devour the one who's guilty
Your prowess repels apathy
Your image can turn a soul to stone


6. SHADOWKINGS

A spiral movement, the ultimate mystery
Will you show....will you show who you are?
It's the truth that untrue suspicion is
spreading like a disease
Do you know if it is real?
Voices appear inside my brain
Their need, to set me free
Onward they lead before the dawn
Teach me what's right and wrong
Encourage the madness they welcome impurity
I don't know....I don't know....who I am!
Fallen blind to the cruel hysteria that's
constantly challenging
Me, all alone...all alone... can't be real
Voices approve I can't relate
Their need to celebrate
Onward they lead before the dawn
Teach me what's right and wrong
Voices approve, the quest begins
Fuel for the shadowkings
Onward they lead before the dawn
Teach me what's right and wrong


7. ELSUSIVE CURE

Take a pact, hide the fuel that's gathered here
Pale in view a fool resigns and taken over
Skin your pride , it's stripped and taken from you
Buried deep are the souls that are waiting for you
For you and only you, you may attempt to proceed
The sharpest point is aimed at you
Where the pain strikes is clear......
Regret, refrain, I can no longer bear it
Rising ages increase elusive cures
A morla life sacrificed, greed's taken over
Ride to take and the craving's buried deeper
Reaching out grasping arms that are waiting for you
For you and only you, you may attempt to proceed
The sharpest point is aimed at you
Where the pain strikes is clear......
Regret, refrain, I can no longer bear it


8. YEARN FOR CHANGE

Approaching a silence, a blur of subsidence
Time may heal all troubles, is that what I've found?
Joy entices all, until death's lonely shroud
But I know it's forever......
Praying for a change
Our lives leading onwards, the essence is stronger
Memories of life drifting further away I must doubt that where
There's a will there's a way......
But I know, it's forever
Life is all the pain we endeavour


9. SHADES OF GOD

The fire is gone, a time to search and then replace
I'll never know just how the blind can lead the way
They search for faith, it shows the way...it leads the way
The distant smile, banished denial, no more denial
Are you the one who tries to send me to the grave
I cannot know who deals resent who deals the pain
Weak search for faith
A path to take, you tread in vain


10. HANDS OF REASON

I speak of people whose game is disguise
The myth of flavour appears with no sign
'Cause I see it coming, like a long lost friend
A temple of rubble, the low and blind betray
Inane, the pleasures that leave a sorry state
You're told of treasures, indulgence cannot wait
but wait for tomorrow and steal some sanity
Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back
As I now fall......fall into deprivation
Fall....fallen there's still tomorrow
Love hides the things you'll never know
A lack of reason that makes a mortal man
Untold the treason, the past where it began
'Cause I see horror, horror to think about
Insane thoughts are borrowed, unable to repay them back
As I see the blood, blood on the hands of reason
Blood, bloody the hands that lead me
Love for the ones you cannot know


11. I SEE YOUR FACE

Coming back today, the pounding thoughts relay
It's a time that's for myself
I'm laying low, strife is gaining slow
A kind of anguish I don't need......
When I see your frown, hurt will put me down
If I could see a light shining
Is this borrowed time maybe a final time
That I can see a light shining
Will you make it slow, pure evil makes it slow
I know you're brandishing the sign
Dare I take a chance? In this circumstance
Or will I leave without a hope
When you seal me fate sorrow turns to hate
If I can see a light shining
Is this borrowed time maybe a final time
That I can see a light shining
What one man makes is there for one to take
A single handed fall from grace
Hearts beating just, beating till the last
A draining feeling's all that I know
When I see your frown, it becomes my frown
If I could see a light shining
Is this borrowed time maybe a final time?
That I can see a light shining


12. JADED

Opaque the dissident establishment
That we all suffer
Refill the porous shell with words that mean so many things
Words mean so many things
The feeling can't avoid you
Stoking the fires of absence
Loss and anguish long departed
Adjust to changes re-arranging, burns in many ways
Pain burns in many ways
The feeling can't avoid you
