Lyrics

1. ETERNAL

A cloud of darkness moving in
Shadows all, remove my skin
Drain my corpse, cut away the flesh
I'm a mere hollow shell burnt down to ash

I always wanted to move mountains
Instead I closed the curtains
I guess it must've been the burden
That kept me down under
All life in a slumber
It makes me wonder
Am I the hunter
Or am I being hunted

Is this the last I will see from hell
Farewell they've rang my bell
It's time to leave this rotten world

Is this the last I will see from hell
Farewell they've rang my bell
Nothing left to feel the hurt

Forever is a lie
We live alone and that's how we die
No second chance, there's no blue pill
There ain't anymore blood to spill

Dead end, I'm going nowhere
I'm stuck in my own despair
The hole I dug myself in
Good or bad, the line is thin
Will I find my true self or just give in

Is this the last I will see from hell
Farewell they've rang my bell
It's time to leave this rotten world

Is this the last I will see from hell
Farewell they've rang my bell
Nothing left to feel the hurt

Stranded deep, I've sunk my ship
A last minute one way trip
I was right, life is infernal
Only death is eternal


2. CONSUME

Hell is home
And home is hell
But we're still doing well
Hiding in our empty shell
Hiding in our empty shell

Hell is home
And home is hell
But we're still doing well
Hiding in our empty shell
Hiding in our empty shell

Underneath of what our eyes can perceive
Lies nothing more than what we already see
A world in flames, glowing ever so brightly
Can you feel it burn to cinder

I've stumbled upon scorched earth
My demons may have found me

Resurrect the earth
Let it rise from the ashes
Resurrect

Hell is home
And home is hell
But we're still doing well
Hiding in our empty shell
Hiding in our empty shell

Hell is home
And home is hell
But we're still doing well
Hiding in our empty shell
Hiding in our empty shell

We are the scavengers of earth
Relentless we take everything
Nothing is safe from our evil hands
Reckless we take everything
We disroot all of nature’s treasures
From the garden we once thrived up from
To the grave in which we'll find our end
Your blatant lies won't stand
When all hell comes crashing down again

Hell is home
Home is hell

Resurrect
Let it rise


3. SOULS

Light the fire and start anew

Passing through the valley of defilement
The blade in my hand is my only companion
Covered in mud it's slowing my pace
Wandering deeper inside the swamp
Overtaken by poison, vermin and plague
As i search for a glimpse of the sky
The truth remains covered by a lie

Free me from my alter ego
Hold my hand and feel the burn
Close the gate behind me shut
Nothing left for me to chase
All I see’s my empty face

Free me from my alter ego
Hold my hand and feel the burn
Close the gate behind me shut
Nothing left for me to chase
All I see’s my empty face
Nothing left for me to chase

Hear the demon inside my soul
My decaying body's pride
Cruelty won't leave my side
Ease the pain and make me whole

Even in this reign of misery there's still light to guide the way
Dear Astraea cleanse my soul
Lift the grip of darkness on my hollow bones
Ease the pain and make me whole

Take a look, at those forgotten ruins
Inside the frigidness of your unwholesome soul
And make one last attempt to save your brittle mind
As you grasp for the foreboding truth that lies within


4. EPHEMERAL

Your time is now

I wake up every day with regret in my heart
All these times that I chose wrong
I don't know where I belong
I barely got some free space
To keep my mind in place
Fear whispers me there's no way to win this race

Life shines every day but you're living in constant darkness
You keep running around but you fail to cherish the moment
Desperate, fearful, insecure, your social angst keeps you on edge
If you can't stop this fight, you'll slowly perish inside

Your time is fading out

You perish inside
You perish inside
You won’t win this fight

Breathe life, let shine
Breathe life, let shine

Your time is now


5. SINISTER SKY

I'm not in control
This life is passing me by
I'm not in control
I closed one door and I lost sight
I'm not in control
This life is passing me by
I'm not in control
My world is crumbling from the inside

We all know the first step you ever take
Slowly starts your journey into the unknown
Every day changing, in constant motion
Makes it hard to find shelter

Yet after a while insecurity begins to darken the sky
I always believed to be so flawless
So much that I lost sight
Alas, making my actions feel so uncontrolled

I'm not in control
This life is passing me by
I'm not in control
I closed one door and I lost sight
I'm not in control
This life is passing me by
I'm not in control
My world is crumbling from the inside

After all this time, the only thing I know for sure
Is that no matter what choice I make
There's still one promise that I can't break

I can see the light shining from the top of the mountain down on me
I can see the light shining from the top of the mountain down on me
Down on me
Down on me

Down on me
Down on me


6. FOUL WATERS

I remember the days when we grew up in our hometown
I was always there to help you up when you fell down
We would laugh and drink into the night
And meet disaster the next day
Now that I need you the most
You're gone up in smoke, nowhere to be found
Nowhere to be found

I've put my trust in you and you've let me down
I've put my trust in you and you've let me down
You've let me drown
You've let me drown

We used to say we'll go down swinging
I got your back brother
Fighting side by side
Till the end of days
With a smile on our face

We used to say we'll go down swinging
I got your back brother
Fighting side by side
Till the end of days
But your face has changed

You're gone astray
You're gone astray
You're gone astray
You're gone astray
You're gone astray
[You're gone astray]

I can still see your face
[You're gone astray]
I can still hear you say
[You're gone astray]
I can still see your face

In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind [You're gone astray]

I can still hear you say

In the back of my mind
That you're gone astray [You're gone astray]

I've put my trust in you and you've let me down
I've put my trust in you and you've let me down
You've let me drown
You've let me drown
