Ontborg : Following the Steps of Damnation
Letras
1. STEPS OF DAMNATION
The bones so fragile
The heart old and weak
The lungs are breathing heavily the air
On some days the mind is sick
Life has been draining
All of my body
Organs are giving up
I’m prepared and ready
There lies my lifeless body
Entering my new reality
I look into my grave
No angels are waiting to guide me safe
I follow the steps of damnation
I see the path - my own destination
Step by step - a dark deliberation
I follow the steps of damnation
My soul’s creation - dark as I am
My spirit in its determination
Backwards I’m falling deep
But I feel something is carrying me
My torments are forgotten
My memories of the old world rotten
So my dark life begins
I’ll take the first step now
The waiting has an end
And endless time to spend
There lies my lifeless body
Entering my new reality
I look into my grave
No angels are waiting to guide me safe
I follow the steps of damnation
I see the path - my own destination
Step by step - a dark deliberation
I follow the steps of damnation
My soul’s creation - dark as I am
My spirit in its determination
In between all darkness
Realizing humans fear
The fear that time will pass
Their fear is just despair
I follow the steps of damnation
I see the path - my own destination
Step by step - a dark deliberation
I follow the steps of damnation
My soul’s creation - dark as I am
My spirit in its determination
2. PURGATORY
Nailed in a coffin
Swallowed by earth
Trapped in the dark
Between slowly rotting wood
Vermin - piercing through my skin
They’re knocking - on my bones
My tattered soul is dripping
From the empty eyes of the skull
Into nothingness
Darkness breaks over me
Silence surrounds me
Heat brings me back
Foreign dead flesh around my soul
In the body of another
Mutilated is my hand
I stumble through the fire
Scream with an unknown voice
Like a twitching beast
Scratch - the unknown eyes
Hit the head against a rock
Try to escape from the body
- which corpse am I in?
Despair breaks over me
Scorn surrounds me
Heat brings me back
Foreign dead flesh around my soul
In the body of another
Mutilated is my hand
Purgatory dance
Torments - immense
I throw the corpse into fire
To die - my last desire
Purgatory dance
3. ECHOES OT TIME
You - you’re not the chosen one
You - you lived your life alone
The storm on the horizon
The damned soul dominion!
Your forgiveness - is dying in the night
The moon - a soulless reaper of mankind
Your nights are getting colder
Your world is getting older
Your days are freezing in time
There is nothing left behind
You will become a ghost
And reign in darkest nights
The path of destiny
This is the time you left behind
Your damnation - comes true here today
Just another step on your lifeless way
Your nights are getting colder
Your world is getting older
Your days are freezing in time
There is nothing left behind
Broken and forgotten
Are your echoes of time
Your nights are getting colder
Your world is getting older
Your days are freezing in time
There is nothing left behind
4. NIGHTFALL
This is the nightfall!
Rays of the sun
Pricked through the trees
Repressed the shadows
That’s what it seems
All this light
All this time
Something is missing
Emptiness inside
I sniffed for the dark
Digging for dirt
Scraped with my fingers
Bloody, my skin hurts
Nightfall - you’re welcome
Darkness - my light
Show me the path to
A hidden world behind
Feed my rage
Give me strength
Spread your wings
And take me with you
My anger in flames
Release my hatred
Light - has gone
I enter the dark
Evil is waiting
Licking its tongue
Creatures of night
Filling my mind
I hear their call
Tapping on my skull
I wallow in gloom
Swallowing the light
Nightfall - you’re welcome
Darkness - my light
Show me the path to
A hidden world behind
Feed my rage
Give me strength
Spread your wings
And take me with you
This is the nightfall
5. TO THE NORTH
The sun shines at my back
While voices follow my tracks
Thoughts surround my mind
Tormenting memories
Lonely I draw a trail in the snow
Step by step heading the north
Cold, frost and winter awaits me
Soon I will be there
Among the crowns of the forest
I disappear in darkness
The snow swallows every sound
Silence I have found
Slowly emptiness returns in me
Purifies my body, I become free
Further to the north and barren landscapes
Moving through rawness
Feeling my heartbeat
I lay down on a frozen lake
Above my eyes the northern lights
Stars are dancing on my skin
Feeling cold, breathing in
White crystals falling down
Shivering, but fearless
I dissolve with this white realm
Among the crowns of the forest
I disappear in darkness
the snow swallows every sound
silence I have found
To The North
Among the crowns of the forest
I disappear in darkness
the snow swallows every sound
silence I have found
To the North
6. UNDERNEATH
Underneath
Darkened clouds above
All light is far away
Underneath
Underneath
There is the dark side of us
Underneath
There is the evil inside of us
Alone in the dark
I feel them call for the gathering
Overgrown stairs
Disintegration of the created
Deeper down - deeper
The way leads down to the damnation
This is their world
This is our world
The demons awake!
We cannot enter their realm
But we are a part of it
We nourish and keep them alive
Underneath
7. I AM THE NIGHT
As time began
There was no light
The only thing
Was the eternal night
Once all in beautiful darkness has been
And all things now
They can be seen
Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
I’m behind you!
I try to reach you!
I am the night
I am the darkest shadow
I follow the light
I am the night
I am obscure
I am despair
I am so sweet
I am the night
An endless path
- a path alone in darkness
Lightless I spread
- I spread only coldness
Sleepless my flight
Shadows die on my side
Time seems to stand still
To conquer the light
That’s my will
I am the night
I am the darkest shadow
I follow the light
I am the night
I am obscure
I am despair
I am so sweet
I am the night
With stars in my neck
I bring the endless darkness back
No difference anymore between day and night
All now is dark, and gone is all the light
8. ENDING PATH
Seeing the past far away
There it comes - the end of the day
Something in what we have to believe
Time goes by - so we have to leave
I feel not bad - for what I’ve done
I feel not bad - for what I’ve become
Too much time I’ve already spent
I reach out for the end!
The iron clock stands still
That destiny is mine!
The bell whispers into my ears
My remaining time.
I feel it in my hands
I feel it in my mind
The last steps of my path
I’m leaving my life behind
Dark clouds on my way
Alone in freedom I stay
Reflecting - what will come now?
Curious - I am somehow
I feel not bad - for what I’ve done
I feel not bad - for what I’ve become
Too much time I’ve already spent
I reach out for the end!
The iron clock stands still
That destiny is mine!
The bell whispers into my ears
My remaining time.
I feel it in my hands
I feel it in my mind
The last steps of my path
I’m leaving my life behind
I’m not walking in pain
No pain no suffer
No suffer no hate
I`m passing through the gate
I feel not bad - for what I’ve done
I feel not bad - for what I’ve become
Too much time I’ve already spent
I reach out for the end!
The iron clock stands still
That destiny is mine!
The bell whispers into my ears
My remaining time
I feel it in my hands
I feel it in my mind
The last steps of my path
I’m leaving my life behind
9. OLD MOTHER FROST
Supremacy of the sun
The darkness gone
I wait patiently
Withdrawn in secret
No one longs for me
I fall into oblivion
Breathing slow and heavy
Gathering my strength
I blow icy winds
Across the barren fields
Let snow crystals swirl
Wildly in circles
Chase away the sun
Freezing all life
Changing the scene
I am the winter queen
When the days get shorter
I open my sleepy eyes
Stretch my body
High above the clouds
I sit down on the throne
The hall is shining white
Raising my hand
I conquer this land
From the top of the mountains
I announce myself
With wind and snow
I draw a trail
Sweep towards the valley
The world so pale
Queen of winter
Ruler in white
Show us the crown
It is our light
I blow icy winds
Across the barren fields
Let snow crystals swirl
Wildly in circles
Chase away the sun
Freezing all life
Changing the scene
I am the winter queen
I lay down my mantle
Over the whole land
Mine is all the life
When I arrive
My time is short
Fragile my reign
Soon I will disappear
But I will return again
I am the winter queen
10. THE TOWER
Deep in the forest
The moonlight bright
A path leads
Into the night
Thorn spikes
Bird calls
A dark shadow
Flies by
I lay my ear
To a trunk
Listen
Into the dark
The fingers stroke
Over moss
Smell rottenness
Have to go again
Turning in circles
Cold sweat
Stretch out my hand
Into no man’s land
My voice breaks down
Swallowed by fear
I lay on the ground
Something is near
I hear your breath
I smell your soul
You cannot hide
Your inner side
Further and further
Deep into black
I stand before a tower
Stretching my neck
Tower of night
Stone over stone
Where is your light
In your lonely throne
Tower of night
Where is your light
Through the old gate I enter inside
Climb up the stairs all the way to the top
I open the door
Chamber of fear
And see therein
The mirror of myself
