1. WOE

I saw the looks in their eyes
I heard their cheers of joy
I felt the distant heat come closer
I saw those children torn apart

You have nothing to stop me
You have nothing I want but death

Flowing with blood the sands of time mark the end of days
In the land of emptiness our deeds live forever

I carry this weight in my soul
Feeling the hunger, the thirst for blood
When the dragon in my heart is unleashed
The blood will not be innocent

I will take you down

Flowing with blood the sands of time mark the end of days
In the land of emptiness our deeds live forever

You have nothing to stop me
I will take you down
You have nothing I want but death

Live by the sword, die by the sword


2. THERE IS NO SHELTER

Show no, show no weakness
You will show no compassion
You will wear no expression
And oh no, you will never fail

Master of uniformity
You brought with you only suffering

There is no shelter from the death you rain
Upon the fertile soil

How long has it been since we saw the sun
The last trees died ages ago
And the rivers ran dry

Fear this

There is no barrier to keep away the
Raging deadly winds

Fear this

Master of idolatry
You worship only destruction

Show all your power
Show all your hunger
Show them who's in control
And never show them fear

Master of freedom
The only thing free in your world is hate

Master of suffocation
You choke us all until you're alone

There is no shelter from the death you rain
Upon the fertile soil

How long has it been since we saw the sun
The last trees died ages ago
And the rivers ran dry

What I would give to see the flowers again
And to hear the birds sing, to see my children play
What I would give to get rid of this dream
A nightmare that I hope will never come to be


3. IN THE FORMLESS DAWN

It consumes me that some things were left unsaid
From the earthly dusk into the formless dawn I'm sure the Path is painless
And the silent thoughts of our longing hearts will soothe The dreamless

Moments away the last parting, the shattering, with no Consolation
I only see the thorn and the flames burning my soul
Beyond the mortal frame lies deconstruction without remorse

You!
You took away from me
You cannot fathom the hell I will put you through

A hope that they hear those whispered farewells
It consumes me that some things were left unsaid
From the earthly dusk into the formless dawn I'm sure the Path is painless
And the silent thoughts of our longing hearts will soothe The dreamless

A beast hunting for easy prey, a shark devouring anything Weak
A thief stealing from those full of life, a door shall close
And there shall be no one to see the horrors I can show
To a wretched heart and a poisoned soul

You!
You took away from me
You cannot fathom the hell I will put you through

I am death incarnate


4. SEVERANCE

A sight that never goes away no matter how hard you try to Unsee it
Respect that flows down the drain each and every day
There is a fear brewing, worldwide chaos that's so beyond Anything we've ever seen

Is this how much a life is worth, to trade harmony for a Public execution
What keeps you sane following someone to their perdition

Your gods watch over you in awe or disgust but death picks No sides
When the moment comes we all grasp at the straws of lies
In silence
We set the world on fire

In silence
We stand divided

Ancient beliefs in tomorrow's world divide where a bridge Should be built
Did we stray too far somewhere down the path
Now mothers cry for their children die, children who forgot Their fathers' names

It's so lonely in the grave's cold embrace
Lose light to find darkness, 'cause this is where it all Ends

A written word is enough to tear us apart
Death picks no sides
When the moment comes we all grasp at the straws of lies
In silence
We set the world on fire

In silence
We stand divided


5. EMPTINESS

Cripple me, make me kneel
Push me down, break the will
But my will does not break

Punch me, pound me 'til you drop
Whip my skin, burn my soul
Force control over the beast untamed

Brand me, make me yours
I'm alive, I'm a living corpse
Cut deep yet I will never break

Crystal shards fall apart
Releasing the flames in my flesh
Lasting a moment that is eternity

Crush me, destroy all that's left
Make me kneel when I can barely lie down

Can you hear the mute voices sing
The lament of strain, drain and pain
In emptiness there is nothing to take


6. IMMORTAL, ENTWINED

Embracing in the shade where eternity shan't betray
Our promises made in the hasty moment of goodbyes devoured By flames
Windborne, lifted from the pyre of scorn
Our hearts, our minds, our undying desire

Undying, unyielding, I searched through centuries
I spread my roots into the grieving earth

Sent seeds as messengers of my longing for you

Within each raindrop I heard the whispers
Of a lonely soul, cries of loss and yearning for soulmate to Return

I had travelled through worlds to find you
Reborn and died, withered and blossomed countless times
And I am here for you now

Remember that day we sat by the river?
The trees were still fresh from August rain

But that bliss was soon to cease

Witchery, the cries accused, I recall that day
Bound by ignorance and judged by intolerance
We were to burn at the stake
So be it we said, we shall meet again

Remember that day we sat by the river?
The trees were still fresh from August rain
Looked upon us when we kissed for the first time
And swore it would never ever end


7. TO THOSE WHO SHALL FOLLOW

What do you see in the mirror
Someone's child, a friend, a lifegiver astray who lost his Way
What do you see in your own eyes
Is that fear, weakness, even despair

Each day counts towards a bitter end
What you take with you when the time comes
You will face that same emptiness
Staring at you right now

How could we forget who we are
What we did, where we belong
Now what's left is the world burning
The only place to call home

Let our cries echo through eternity
As a warning to those who shall follow
There is no providence, only blind hate

What do you see in those ruins
Someone' s home, their past crumbled into rubble
Did your heart even pinch at those times
You turned years of history into nothingness

Each day counts towards a bitter end
The burden of guilt not meant for those pure of heart
Weighs heavy on the tainted one

Let our fading memories drown
Into this sea of sorrow
Or rise ablaze in ashes


8. WE WALKED IN THE SHADOWS

As shades of grey turn into shadows
I cast away my lifeline, let go of the past
Burning with the fire within
My star has fallen from the nightskies aflame

Formless ink dries on the empty pages
Once abound with words now mere thoughts die infant
A chest once full of treasures buried for few to find
Now a weathered box cobwebbed with only whispers inside

I am here to bid you farewell, my friend, farewell
A shoulder I could always cry upon

Farewell

I am here to drown you in my sorrow
The one who stole my soul

Let the curtains fall, let us all mourn for we are all dying Inside
With this song I let you go...

We were walking in the shadows
The smell of summer nights fresh in our hearts
We were walking into the grave
One step away from the day we met 'til we die

Endless blood flows on the empty pages
Once pulsing in my veins now writing those words I could not
A star once showed us the way
Now a slowly dying sun of our dreams

I am here to drown you in my sorrow
I am here to bid you farewell my friend

Let the curtains fall
With this song I let you go...
