1. THE SKELETON KEY

A night without a dawn
A virtuous heart grown cold
Caressed by the shadows and torn
Drowning in the disgrace
And the dreams that you left within me
Descent into madness
Those dreams are broken

Scornfully holding the key
Rising from the depths in rage
Forever cursing the Gods
Sorrows Bequeathed

Defiled and broken
Embraced by night's twilight

Falling, burning, twisting, tumbling
Into throes of everlasting disdain
Lost in time, anguished screams of pain
As my soul is now wrenched from its shade
In despair of a fathomless depth
I reach out for the dark as humanity fades

Defiled and broken
Embraced by night's twilight
The lighthouses now fade
Their beams no longer guide


2. THE REAPING

Deeper and deeper I fall
Into this void of contempt I descend
Forged in flames of endless hate
Forever lost to the abyss

Free is now the beast in me
I will rise, I will seek, I’ll destroy
Blood will now stain my path

Vengeance grace me
Flames devour me
Feed my darkest wishes
May chaos reign free
As the reaping begins

There will be no return
No redemption, no forgiveness
Nightmares now unleashed at will
Destroyer of all, shall I reign

Free is now the devil in me
I will rise, I will seek, I’ll destroy
Ashes will grace my path

Vengeance grace me
Flames devour me
Feed my darkest wishes
May chaos reign free
As the reaping begins


3. BLACKHEARTED SERENADE

Silence!
All that remains
As memories now fade in the flames
Darkness!
This virus consuming my soul
Baptized in hatred I rise

Come oh sweet death
Serpent's kiss
Hold me in your arms

Hear the siren's call
Whispers from the deep

Torment!
A gift now bestowed
A lifetime of disdain unfolds
Mourning!
Sweetest lament!
In the shades of contempt, benighted I am

Come oh sweet death
Serpent's kiss
Hold me in your arms


4. A FUNERAL FOR THE VIRTUOUS

Lost in a dream I mourn
A weary mind and a broken soul
Against the turning tides of a cruel fate
I bare witness to the end of grace

Fading towards a graceful end
Hear my calling...
Nameless ones

In the wake of the damned
I am reborn

In these darkened halls
I can't find the way
And all hope now fades
Angels save me

These shattered skies now paint a fatal portrait
In silence I await my sepulcher
Lost, entombed, erased
And forgotten

In these darkened halls
I can't find the way
And all hope now fades
Angels save me

In the wake of the damned
I am reborn
