1. SHADOWS OF DARKNESS

Acceptance of oppression
The expulsion from paradise
Eternal chase for weakness
The striving for more

Human chasms
The sellout of identity

The worship of might
The pursuit of wealth
The incantation of greed
Caught in the shadows of darkness

Ruined hopes and dreams
The mind is ablaze

Rats follow their piper
To the fields of desire
Into the depths of frustration
Through the gates of dependence

Before them nothing but blackness
And far behind the rotten rest
Of millions of dream corpses
That never were allowed to live

The worship of might
The pursuit of wealth
The incantation of greed
Caught in the shadows of darkness

Accepted misery - homemade agony
Created to serve
Seduced to be fattened
Instructed to silence

Dull gray mass
The pleasure of uniformity
Carried away in the storm of time
Borne by the winds of disregard

Between sanity and madness
Prostitution of existence
Generations disappear
In the far reaches of unimportance


2. INFINITE VOID

Infinite void
No one can no longer fill
We choke on your pain
We drift in a sea of sorrow
No one will ever be able to replace you

The pain will never fade, ever
Cause we know that your death
means our certain perdition
We know your death will destroy us

In empty oceans we will sink
We'll Gaze into blackened skies
Over dead soil we will fly
To the end of the world

As your agonizing screams become silent
Slowly, continuously

The path to the abyss is paved with greed
Exploitation has become your silent companion
You will be ruthlessly sacrificed

Your last warnings are fading into darkness
Your death is sealed, finally
Your sentence is enforced
Merciless torture is coming to an end

Cruel, disrespectful

Even the greatest might fades in the face of time
Your suffering's been put to an end

Disfigured, lifeless, poisoned

Torn into pieces you lie here
Demonstrating your mortality
We will fall into the abyss
Into oblivion

We will perish forever
This is the end of our time
You free yourself from your tormentors

Your eternal vengeance
Our death is sealed
Your eternal vengeance
Our death is sealed

Your death is sealed


3. NURTURING THE VULTURES

In the raging storm of reality
Fragile creatures cling to straws of delusion

Rhyme and reason traded for a glimpse of hope
Sense and purpose of existence misconstrued

The biggest asylum of all institutionalized
Proceeding to spread the greatest misconception of all times

Nurturing the vultures
Keep the fire burning
Keep the flames ablaze
Keep nurturing the vultures
For another million days

Like vultures they keep reaching out their claws
Finding easy prey in those anxious and weak minded

Accepted, tolerated, sanctioned
Ancient form of nonsense artificially kept alive

Pouring oil into their reeking poisonous fire
The parasite seems to have found the ideal host

Nurturing the vultures
Keep the fire burning
Keep the flames ablaze
Keep nurturing the vultures
For another million days

It's part of human nature as the nature of all things
To follow the path of least resistance

Confined in a self-imposed straitjacket of the mind
The gift of reason being left untouched

Since aeons estranging our kind from reality
Nothing but sand in the gears of humanity
Petrified philosophy
Lest we forget

Nurturing the vultures
Keep the fire burning
Keep the flames ablaze
Keep nurturing the vultures
For another million days


4. EGO SUM AETERNITAS

I am eternity
I am forever

You will see me
When the downfall approaches
You will think of me
When you waken and realize

You will hear me
When it's too late for too long
You will feel me
When your time has come

You will believe me
While you repent

I am immortal
I am eternity
I am forever

Ego sum immortalis
Ego sum aeternitas
Ego sum in perpetuum

I am brighter than a thousand suns
More powerful than the vastest ocean
I am higher than any mountain
More ruthless than any man
I am more profound than any thought
more tormenting than any pain

I am immortal
I am eternity
I am forever

Ego sum immortalis
Ego sum aeternitas
Ego sum in perpetuum

I will follow suit
Leaving just stone and dust
I will sentence you
How you sentenced your world to death

I am immortal
I am eternity
I am forever


5. INTO PERDITION

I miss the silence
And the flight through eternity

Gentle chills of excitement
Announce the distress

Into infinity we pace
Along inviolate paths
Explosions at the back of our necks
A breath of conclusion determines our age

We will travel again, I promise
To unknown worlds
No one can illuminate
We will travel again, I promise

Into silence, through eternity

Howling silentness
Indicates the misery that follows
Unrestrained force
No one can be spared from

The lie leads the way
Into oblivion
Where no light is left
You'll seek shadows in vain
Where despair prevails
You'll find no shelter
When infinity has come to an end
Days will pass like seconds

A dying world can't be cured,
We're waiting here for the end
We will travel again, I promise
We will travel again

To unknown worlds,
No one can illuminate
We are waiting for the end
We will travel again

I promise
