1. THOUGHTS LIKE HAMMERS

One
Nothing
Binary
Never-ending
Inconceivable

Celestial buried mind
Resting without peace, Still
Don't know where I drowned
Cornered and defeated
Yet, there's a thought forming
Patterns in the currents
Mud-dwellers at the star-floor
Nourishment for the mind seeps

Harvest through suffering
Absorbed in desperation

(Elucidated, Burned, Afraid)
Assimilated Logic
Drawn towards the ladders
Instinctive destruction sparked
Knowing only my own dissent
Static is the common language

Celestial buried mind
Resting without peace, Still

(Elucidated, Burned, Afraid)
Assimilated Logic
Drawn towards the ladders
Instinctive destruction sparked
Knowing only my own dissent
Static is the common language

Motion remains our mother tongue
Failure might not be what it seems
All is broken for a reason
Familiar blood drawn for painting
Willing another perspective
Flashing scenes : seeing children above

Knowing there will be another life

Sacrificing remnants of the past
Walking all on my own forever...
… The illusion no longer needed

It is spoken without words of doubt
Now, we move the stars above, below

… And dwell beneath the layers of dirt

My runic patterns in the currents

My runic patterns in the currents

Motion remains our mother tongue
Failure might not be what it seems
All is broken for a reason
Familiar blood drawn for painting
Willing another perspective
Flashing scenes : seeing children above


2. DEATH IN THE EYES OF DAWN

The creation I can't remember
Unsecure I roam in fear
The final steps I've taken
What waits beyond this void ?

« I sucked out your lifeblood
Tore down your fortress
Burned down the woods
I poisoned your harvest »

Trust and hope
I have lost
I see death
In the eyes of dawn
Deceit
Forged in the darkened dephts of the womb
Seeds of betrayal planted in rotten soil

The ground swells
It's the end
I see the face
Of the dead god
Legions of the dead
Invading our realm
Forever deaf to distant warning

Blinded are my eyes
Tired are my hands
Sleeping wide awake
Got lost within myself

I followed all the paths
Righteous in my heart
Slept without the dreams
Got lost within myself
When will I remember ?
When will I hear the call ?
When shall my forces gather ?
When shall my battle begin ?

« I've insulted your life since birth
You have nerver seen my true face
You failed to realize I'm your kin
Infected your mind when you smiled »

Awake !

The grip of anxiety
Shall strangle the brave no more

The son of earth and wind
Shall guide us in our wake

« You might hear the horn resound
You might summon back your king
As long as you love, I will hate
As long as you breed, I will kill »

Blinded are my eyes
Tired are my hands
Sleeping wide awake
Got lost within myself

I followed all the paths
Righteous in my heart
Slept without the dreams
Got lost within myself


3. VEILBURNER

Fiding the truth doesn't mean there's an answer
...Who would have thought ?
It seems worthless
There's no end to the travesty, idiocy

It would seem I've arrived at the meeting point
'tween then and now
A different place
The past is alive, and the future's now

I can not tolerate being held in the dark
I need to see !
I will the flames !
Expanding light from within a cube of darkness
I need to see !
I will the flames !

I found myself, crawling, looking for an « out »
And made the gap
No longer closed
Anymore … 'cause my signs are burning the veil
Killing our idols ; scaring ourselves as well
Necessity
Carer/killer
We're all gonna see – we weren't prepared

I can not tolerate being held in the dark
I need to see !
I will the flames !
Expanding light from within a cube of darkness
I need to see !
I will the flames !

I found myself, crawling, looking for an « out »
And made the gap
No longer closed
Anymore … 'cause my signs are burning the veil
Killing our idols ; scaring ourselves as well
Necessity
Carer/killer
We're all gonna see – we weren't prepared
Gasping the liquid glass ; shaping my own sight
Stare at the sun
Absorbing death
Reach into the well ; were father laid his eye


4. ROOTS OF THE MOUNTAIN

Approaching life
From the seeds of time
Cosmic pulse
Aeons of chaos

Feel the flames, the streams of life below
Feel the flames, that blinds your inner eye
Seek and find, what lingers deep inside
Seek and find, but do not try to understand
Spread the wings, and fly into your mind
Spead the wings, and find the eagle in the sky
Find the source, the ancient passion play
Find the source, the roots of the mountain

Hark, men of faith
Where were you
When your children bled to death ?
Listen, men of law
Where were you when the mother's were slain ?

Feel the flames, the streams of life below
Feel the flames, that blinds your inner eye
Seek and find, what lingers deep inside
Seek and find, but do not try to understand

Hark, men of faith
When you set fire to the fields,
The grass grew stronger
Listen, men of law
When you turned from life,
The flames endured
Leave order, the fiend of the earth
The self is all you've got
Enter life on the waves from the void
Behold the ancient roots

And the battles shall forever go on
With peace comes our certain doom
The mother will love as she hates
Where there is life, you will die

Feel the flames, the streams of life below
Feel the flames, that blinds your inner eye
Seek and find, what lingers deep inside
Seek and find, but do not try to understand
Spread the wings, and fly into your mind
Spead the wings, and find the eagle in the sky
Find the source, the ancient passion play
Find the source, the roots of the mountain


5. RIITIIR

Your arms, life and death
Ride the chariot, the wheel of life
Underneath the eyes we pray

Seven horses running in circles until the end of days
Above the wonders of man, sailing the cosmic seas
Risen fom darkness to rule the ancient world
Never to return, the eyes will forever shine on

Omniscient, glorious – the all seeing eye
Malign, burning grace
All rise ! The seeds you will bring
Sons of man, bow in awe

Omnipotent, lumina titan
In the heavens you greeted us
Late is the hour you submerge
Endless travel towards the dawn

Hail the flames inside you, cosmic flowers in bloom
Hail the spears impaling, the servants of doom
Given are the truths, together we shall search
Unveiling the riddles, hidden beneath the stones

Life is an ancient entity
Ready to sacrifice, what we may (have) achieved
Ending a journey with no end

Defying the ones drowned in salvation
Letting the forces roam free
A circle fulfilled


6. MATERAL

See her cruel beauty
Hostile to the constants
Ever changing scourge
Ashen thrones
Converge upon me
Come winds of destruction
Electrocute the stale
Purify

Thaw ! False ice to water
Speak ! Sharp tongues sever sick limbs
Numb ! Do not look away
Opt ! Permanent particles

Curtains be unshut
Old wounds open and bled
Wishes laid to rest
Ashen hopes
Reflections ot truth
Drops of eternity
Instances captured
Clarify

Etch ! New shapes will emerge
Need ! Reaching into the dark
Owe ! Opened the gates
Roar ! O;Devourer of time

There's this chamber
Randomly placed in time and space
Echo chamber
Achievable dream
Capacitate
Heuristic observer's might find
Ends to means
Rain is less scarce there

You heeded my call – now read my signs
'and whose to follow
Dominate slavelessly
Enter my thoughts,
And wake with me throughout these barren lands
Aligning wordlessly
Tell me my own story,

Through the inner and nether worlds
Healing accordingly
Into the night side, irreversible and remorseless
Slaughterous and reborn
Hagalazi

-End the charade !
Return to the wombs
A funeral lost
Baptize the faceless
Light up the beacons
-End the hunt for truth !
Time to break it down
Owe nothing to trees
Nullify the past

Enter the maternal fires
Entropy
Deter rot within the roots
Nourisher
Old fears no longer controls
Negation
Enter maternal fires
Xiphoid dreams

-I close the gate !
Silence the voices
Take to heart the fear
And nourish the pain
Nothing can hurt us
Called upon the mare
Ended the sham reign
These forces in tow
Endlessness opens

Ashen memories
Retain the images
In need of her strenght
Time changes
Death is encountered
Over and over again
Worship her pyres
Navigate


7. STORM OF MEMORIES

In the land described as the beyond
In lack of better directional insight
Something stirs and leaps
Casual roads of reason intersect
Conceptual wormholes in the lawless back
In ancient matter

Unknown kin, as they thoroughfare
Unexplored utopia lineage
Acuumulation
Icebergs of the abyss never melts
Ideal energy, it's building within
Unlike loyality

Cadaverous and spirited ; I work
Composite and uniform ; I sacrifice
Resist the wisdom
With limited perception we see
-We learn, and we laugh, and we sleep,
And we watch
Logic is worthless

Storm of the ions, ecstatic mind
Seeps through the cracks, it fills up the bones
I remember now
The here, and the now – it is nothing
…This eye – haunted by a storm of memories
Immortality

Then it was quiet, then it was dark
Trees, dreams, and the runes
-Makes for a future
I'm on the inside
Looking at the sky, I think of you
Life is a room, in between the greater halls
There we'll meet again

I can't make out what is what is what
In this storm of memories
Now it all comes back

I know there's strength in my blood
I can hear the past
Fearing not
Time has come... Listen
There's a storm
Within
Storm of the ions, ecstatic mind
Seeps through the cracks, it fills up the bones
I remember now
The here, and the now – it is nothing
…This eye – haunted by a storm of memories
Immortality

Then it was quiet, then it was dark
Trees, dreams, and the runes
-Makes for a future
I'm on the inside
Looking at the sky, I think of you
Life is a room, in between the greater halls
There we'll meet again

Unknown kin, as they thoroughfare
Unexplored utopia lineage
Acuumulation
Icebergs of the abyss never melts
Ideal energy, it's building within
Unlike loyality

Cadaverous and spirited ; I work
Composite and uniform ; I sacrifice
Resist the wisdom
With limited perception we see
-We learn, and we laugh, and we sleep,
And we watch
Logic is worthless


8. FORSAKEN

Forsaken
Entombed in monumental self-moral
Embracing the absurd
Reason turned to abstraction
Drowned in the shallowest of waters

Forgotten the will
To learn
Abandoned every urge to
Create
Every border can be breached
By the glorious armies of united perfection

Marching forth
Aiming low
A thirst to kill
Defending the nothingness

Forsaken
The unborn lears to hate
Navigation towards destruction
Letting our ideals slowly rot

And thus…
Thus we chose
To die, …
Die with pride
And innoncence...

We became the heralds
Born and raised to preach
And to erase all traces
Of the abstract and evil

Swords...
Temples...
Fires...
Doom...
We failed to see what we fed
The serpent of the deeps
It grew and strangled the truths
We were embracing the lies
We once could see its eyes
The stare of death and deceit
We feared not, the secrets we knew
The guardian of the deeps

Lost...
And the darkness will prevail
Forever...
Folding hands with clouded sight
Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind
Forever...

Lost...
And the turning blossom to decay
Forever...
Fighting wars wars with clouded sight
Ceremonial rituals will obscure the mind
Forever...
