Winterthrall : Nightmares for the Sleepless
Lyrics
1. CYCLES OF THE FLESH
Now refuse to breathe
And oblivion shall swallow all
For absolution remains out of reach
And we shall pass unnoticed
Where does the journey end?
In the paths beyond the mist?
Cast off our mortal husks
And merge with the darkest cold
I have seen for Aeons
The futile endless struggles in vain
There's no escape from oblivion
Cycles of the Flesh
Time's slowly moving, never turning
Soon all lay fallen and covered by dust
Lost in the numbness
These masks of decay
That we've worn since our births
2.MALEVOLENCE
Through every step we have learned
All shall burn, Forsaken
For the lords gift of light
Lies long dead and gone
And man shall perish and fade
Day by day, Consumed
For there's no hope in this land of
Tears and broken dreams
As tears mix into blood
I see the horrid truth
Through eyes of flesh
Stare into forever
As we make our paths
through this lie called existence
Fear corrupts the air
As the endless waves
Of malevolence flow
3. LIGHT OF A FAILING SUN
Come rise above
The fog of pious lies
Look beyond the threshold
Of our final twilight
For there's no looking back
Utopia is lost
For we're just a flicker
Within the storms of chaos
A scourge in the eyes of god!
The sky is forever scarred
This world is dead and lies
Immersed in darkness
No more the light of day
Shall grace the eyes of man
As we languish in these
Fields of hatred
Discontent breeds in
The veins of existence
As hope dies within us all
To rise from landscapes of time
Now laid to rest
We die, We learn
We're born again
Attuned to suffer
4. EDIFICE OF BETRAYAL
Bow to your icons
Deity of self supression
And human blindness
Choke on the ashes
Of your greatest failure
A hallowed kingdom in flames
Never To Return.. Never again
Break from the bonds
Of a suicidal faith
As it fades into forever
Luike lambs to slaughter
Man's inherently weak
In content subjugation
And from the graves a thousand voices
Declare that god is dead
And from the graves a thousand voices
Declare that god is dead
Stillborn echoes lay deep in dead soil
Never to reach their salvation
Gone is the light
Lost are the answers once sought
And from the graves a thousand voices
Declare that god is dead
And from the graves a thousand voices
Declare that god is dead
And gone forever
Never to return... Never again
5. IN FROZEN APATHY
Slow, beats the frozen heart
In apathy
Everthings grown cold
In the womb of creation
And a thousand eyes open
In wonderous facination
As the veil is lifted
And the world is drenched in black
Nightmares for the sleepless
My flesh is dreaming
( repeat 1st verse)
6. AUTOMN CASKETS
As the seasons turn grey
She arrives on the winds of fall
A seductive temptress
Of undying perfection
And she sits in a throne
Upon a mound of corpses
An exquisite phantom
Among the grinning dead
Misery - Bathed in burning twilight
A shadow of the afterlife
Passing through
This mortal fog alone
Seraphim harlot or
Daughter of brimstone and fire?
Forever silent she tends
To the Autumn Caskets
She stands at the
Threshold of oblivion, weeping
Shaking a fist
At a broken heaven
7. BLOOD FROM A BROKEN WING
Freedom, Fate whispers
Fear crawls at my conscience walls
In torment, conspires
To shatter the ivory spires to dust
As the blood of my brothers
Spills onto our blades
It is the same that falls from our broken wings
Thunder, death flows forth
No quarter given,
For none shall be spared
Relentless, in anger
The bridges to heaven
Shall burn, forever gone
Spiritual will of our father's
Burnt from me
From here on and after
We'll take revenge
Raze a path through the lost
Our hatred's immortal
Oh this is a war
To which we proudly raise
Our swords to arms
Leaving my kin face down
In fields of blood stained snow
8. AUDIENT VOID
When death was a seed
In an age before man or god
Life lay dormant, asleep
'Til the threshold was breached
Torn from the audient void
Time is a wasted endeavor
Sought by fools
Who wish to cheat death
Man is a plague that
Shall always endure
By consuming itself
9. DEATH CERTIFICATE (CARCASS COVER)
A grim myriad, a grey kaleidoscope, sterile, contrasting
Born and die, institutionalised, a bleak epitaph, an apalogue so sad
Cross indexed, cross dissected
Cross referenced, contabescence
Cross indexed, cross bisected
Cross referenced, certificate of death/certified dead
Machine coded, reduced to hard memory, in a data base
Digitalised, statistical obituary, your only legacy, your final resting place
Now refuse to breathe
And oblivion shall swallow all
For absolution remains out of reach
And we shall pass unnoticed
Where does the journey end?
In the paths beyond the mist?
Cast off our mortal husks
And merge with the darkest cold
I have seen for Aeons
The futile endless struggles in vain
There's no escape from oblivion
Cycles of the Flesh
Time's slowly moving, never turning
Soon all lay fallen and covered by dust
Lost in the numbness
