1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. I BECOME YOU

I become you
When you close your eyes
And try to sleep
Often in the night
You hear noises
Faint sounds, a thud, a silent crack
Whatever it may appear
To your eye or ear
In its profound presence
You enter your room
Feeling anxiety
While looking at the mirror
When passing it
With quickened step
You return to bed
You’re afraid to look
In the window
You’re afraid someone can stay behind the door
You cover with thick warm blanket
And try to sleep again
Another time
Your imagination played trick on you
You feel someone’s presence
Inexplicable and ghastly
You tell yourself – it’s just imagination

Yet I’m watching you
Stand right beside
You won’t notice me
You won’t touch me
You can only feel me
Feel the fright
When you try to sleep

I can’t exist without you
Your fear breeds my life


3. THE FINAL JOURNEY

Echoes of emptiness
Hustle my heart
Like an empty vessel
Sailing without wind
On waters still
Among the isles of illusion rocks
Ahead

The corridor of fulfilled dreams
With vacant seats
For might, for happiness for dignity, me

Madness

Isolation

Mist

My trembling heart envisions
The meadows of graves
Shrouded with the fears
Of the wandering soul
Serpent the path
Becomes
Ravaged by pestilent winds

Drenched in purulent sunset
I am entering the realm of calmness
Where affect you no awareness no grief
In the flood of blackness
I whirl

In the face of my fallen memories
The eyes faint, gaze becomes blank
But pitiless as the sun
Scorching the shape and the shadow
Till they cease
There is no hiding
Before the death’s reflection

In loving memory of what might have been
The daring march has come to its halt
I pass the gate of solemnity
Paved with concept of living
In candles’ glare reflect the faces of my dreams
With ash so grim, so solemn yet elusive

I disperse

4. SLOW DEATH

The Hunt has begun, you better run!
Hordes have been unleashed
Hunting until all are deceased
No mercy, eyes are without empathy
No intervention, only slow death as their intention.

When entangled your pain is their reward
Body parts shared by the evil horde
Weaponry made for the ultimate torture
Lead by the ultimate demon, the supreme scorcher!
Hymns of the dark choir, invoking your trial by fire

No rest for their wicked ways
Hunting feeble humanity for the rest of its days
Who is guilty, who opened the abyss
Are mankind’s sins the result of this
All hope is faded, it does not matter anymore

You are next! The subsequent life in decay
As you are about to take your very last breath
All that remains, fed to the boars
See your loved ones wither away
At the heart of the swarm, objectives reached, a slow death!!

5. SPECTRE

Consequence of creation
Like hands of time
But fragile like dust
Turns to spectre
Wandering aimlessly
In its search for reflections
On quicksand
The Sun
Like wolf
Watching from above
Howling the black sound
Leading the spectre astray

Walking
The brassladen trail
Afraid to hear the raven’s cry

Azure burial
It feels
From the day first
Ageless threnody
Sing at the shores of the end
Bereft
In its animation
Ebbing from horizon to oblivion

Epoch of brightness has passed
Darkness descends
Ominously

Epoch of brightness has passed
Darkness descends
Like wolf

6. HOUSE OF TRUST

Brought as a young servant
Into the House Of Trust
Left in faith by his parents
To shape a future man
The eyes of the leader
Glance over the future victim

Erotic sins slowly rise
Deceit begins one step at a time
Week in and week out
The child’s perception molded
Touches though of as normal
More intimate every time

Until time has come
He prays with his prey
But after ceremonial service
Hands glide, his lust commands
A young child’s immaculate soul
Forever wept away

Where innocence is shamed
And a life now already broken
His wings clipped forever
A future destroyed in full
As time catches up with the past
With an institution in denial

A feeble attempt
To protect the betrayer
The victims no longer silent
Confronted with the revelations
Of what once was
The House Of Trust


7. FOREVER FROZEN

Drifting, into spheres unblessed
All choices you have made
Have let you to this point
On your way to antoher crossroad
Doubt en denial overwhelms
Forever frozen in life
Forever frozen, floating in empty space
Forever frozen, no where left to run
Forever frozen in your soul,
Forever frozen, floating in empty space
Forever frozen, no where left to run
Forever frozen in your soul

My sences locked away
Lost and scared of what you did
The horrible truth you can’t escape
Drowining, mental suffocation
Caught in a dimension
Where even shadows turn darker
What can you do, if all that remains
Is the impossible emptiness
How to find your path
Out of this wicked maze
Forced to deal with choices made
To see them in the eye
As inners demons haunt your inner self
Despair takes over, you know its coming
No end to this selfmade torment
Everlasting, tears start to flow
How did you get here, how did this happen
How can this all be undone….
Frozen forever
This lifetime thrown away
Forever despair
Nothing can help you now
----

8. THE UPRISING

Soulless bodies
Devoid of scream
Grope among the dimensions of self
Thundering laughter
Festering pain irony of truth

A dying hand falls down losing strength
Gort’s lust murder strives at power
By shedding blood
And clutter of stabbed hearts
Broken shackles of joy

Reclaiming the will to fight
Again the fall became dominant
The twilight possessed servant souls
Torture sparkling with night
But our force lies deep in our forefathers wisdom

Here memories over thoughts take control
And those will arise whose life was taken
To restore happiness to Orn
And devastated Ceres will lay down
To sleep for next millennia
Launching another plans of destruction


9. EPILOGUE

Fertile planetoid dwarfish has become
Stained with blood and thought decays
To dreams will turn
Its vegetation form
To show its power

When anyone tries to take it over
Northirs wiped out
By their own muddle of thoughts
Learnt what irony meant
War became silent

Under the fathom of the sand grains
Bards will write stories about it
To make that picture
Not fade out in memory
Rooted in the sceptre of power

The abyss of mind
Conspiracy circles in the air
The violins with thorny strings
Play the melody
Of the decline of frail thoughts


10. A ROSE ON A GRAVE

From the midst of memories
Where every moment unfurls
Of that what could have been
This place where life has begun

And where now all hope has ended
Only to become a rose on a grave
When every moment lived
A consequence of choices made

A life wasted, all time has now passed
No more looking back
Surrender the transendence
Tried intensely to be brave

Now nothing more remains
Than a rose on a grave
Missery and joy, always hand in hand
What is left, just a grain of sand

The impact that was made
From a life in the shade
No more remembrance of existence
Fading away into the blurry distance

A consciousness buried in obliveon
Only to become the rose on a grave
Were lives ever touched?
Was every breath taken

Even worth the air that was spilled?
Will someone ever even remember
The skin that shed from my soul
This is what is came down to

There’s nothing left to say
All almost forgotten is transfered
To this rose on a grave…
