1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. THE ODIOUS ORDEAL

The answers you seek are hidden beyond grasp
While the dreams you bleed are mated with failure
Aghast at this sight you turn numb to the touch
…And tragedy will befall us all while we watch inert in the dark

The shadows you feed are those you crawl in
While the wounds you heal are the gates to grief
Aghast at this sight you turn numb to the touch
…And tragedy will befall us all while we watch inert in the dark

I surpassed my chance to end this a long time ago
Tempting dreams of sin are nothing
but a shadow of the past
Faltering weak towards the void with nothing
but emptiness in my heart.

In this vastness i am only reflected
into the undiluted sea of forlornness
Deathless falling towards the eternal darkness
Strengthless flawing towards the gleaming loneliness


3. A SHADOW IN THE FIRE, PT. II (WHERE FIRE AWAITS)

Our wretched bodies serve no purpose
They collapse while we scream and perish
as we fall from favor to failure
They withhold us from the fate of flesh

Pregnant with darkness there is only fear
Standing now before another grave
Feeling like a lesser being shrouded by the cold
Womblike silence in the dead of night

Where fire awaits
The only throne will be claimed by death
Where the sun haunts
The only dream we are capable of
Where fire awaits
We are petrified beneath a brutal will
To loose one after another in time
And nothing will ever change

An abhorrent swarm will fill this world
You see the shadow in the fire
When even weak will falls apart
As you hear the truthful heartbeat fade

Sentient flesh bounden to flesh
For we all have been deceived
We can all fall into the dark
Now only fire awaits
For a futile faith lingers deep
In the unsettling depths
Abide the hoists of winter
Now only fire awaits

When the sky unfolds and kneels
before the beast in the remnants of times
Seeing beyond solitude, sorrow and grief
There is exaltation to be gained
Once we sacrifice soma to flame
