Eternal Hate Awakens
09:16
|
|||
|
Like a wild fire glinting from the darkest rift of the long forgotten past
From the times of an everlasting gray reality
An empty world devoid of all light
Commited to preserve an eternal quietness
A seemingly calm and restful existence
Impassive yet full of fervor towards weak truths
But the throne of lies was always hidden
Wrapped in sinuous echoes of the primal treachery
Amid mayhem, forced to look deeper
A new approach for this boundless quiescence
A barren world beforehand condemned
Its false virtues exposed, reality claims to live
Struggling with the last wrecks of falsehood
For all the torments lived in silence and solitude
An inexplicable strength begins to arise
Emerging from the botomless depths
Unearthing primal hatred with no delay
Relentlessly rising from the dark past
Destroying everything in its path
Like hordes of unholy beasts
The oppression of the unchangeable comes to an end
Disparity makes its way violently and with no merci
Chaotic stillness is over, inward rage unleashed
Pledging allegiance to fury
Entrusting yourself to perdition
The only answer
In pursuit of a change
Great firestorms shall be unleashed
Death and disease will spread amongst the living
Memories of all things undefiled will be desecrated
All remaining purity will be mercilessly profaned
For this is the fate of the damned
Threateningly approaching, creeping
You sense the devastating reality:
You will lose everything
You feel the betrayed trust from an ancient age
The genesis of a new sorrow to come
Time after time, everything will decay and rot
An endless feast for crows where only ashes will remain
In aeterna damnatio
You will lose your mind over inexistent truths
Shrouded by darkness, you won't find peace in your journey
You will lose your very light

Freezing Hell Isolation
06:41
|
|||
|
Unbearable glacial cold freezing your bones
Inescapable arctic wind destroying your skin
Blizzards of hate streak through the skies
No matter if you hide, you cannot escape
Memories of a warm life ravage your mind
Icy realities strike your flesh
Your body a long forgotten grave
Your soul a shadow of what it once was
You see no hint of calm, only an eternal frozen storm
You don't discern anything, just an endless oppression
Longing for warmth, this cruel winter turns your heart into stone
Your blood runs cold, night awaits, hope is gone
Cursed in this bitter life, buried by the frigid snow
You don't recall how you got here, but now this is your only home
No truce under the hail that strikes the weak incessantly
There is no rest for the damned
Trying to breathe under the blanket of ice
No hope for change, all remains still in this frozen hell
Ambition is no needed when there's nothing to care about
Failure is unscapable in this faithless isolation
In this endless night reason ceases to exist
Twilight won't come, expectations fade away
No sign of clarity, horizon remains dark
The gelid wind cryes with whispers of decay
Lost in the mountains of madness,
of the rising darkness that will devour you
Caught by the frost of dawn you search for shelter between the hills
Trapped in this endless woods, nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
Recapping your lost past, you forgot your fears under the winterly sky
In the white stillness that surrounds everything
Your emotions get stunned, your senses go numb
A frosted funeral for your inner self
Waiting for the end, gazing at the abyss from your last refuge
Feeling tired, with all remaining hope expired
You feel your pride banishing, finally fading away
A new strenght solely based in chaos and misantrophy

Inner Chaos Unleashed
07:49
|
|||
|
Beware of your own self
For chaos always finds a way
Choking thoughts, repressed pain
A human beast inside of you
In the darkest depths of your mind, unraveling the unknown
You don't find answers, just more incertitude
Dissociating reality, in an endless sea of doubts
Inner demons eternally guiding your damned fate
Mentally broken, identity disorder
Inmoral thoughts are crawling towards your mind
With every breath you feel a new regret,
Your sorrow is hidden in plain sight
Distorsioned past, amnesy, you can't remember when it all begun
Labyrinth of madness, time and space no longer seem real
Disconnected from yourself
Constant crisis, you can't recall who you are
Treason in your mind, no mercy, no faith
No indulgence
You feel betrayed by your own self in this empty world
Irreality becomes your new routine
Dissociative disorder, you found your limits long ago
Helplessness overwhelms you under the gray sky
Too weak to fight, no strength to go on
Inner chaos unleashed
Sinking hopelessly, transient insanity
your chances are running out
Forgotten loyalties, an irrational beast
You turn against your own being and everything you hold dear
Dreams of a deadly peace, of getting away from your own mind
One last break from your constant personal hell
The faith you pinned in so many lies
makes you wonder the reasons for your madness
Shrouded by anxiety
Depersonalized and derealized
A shadow of what you were
Struggling to see reality
To deliver you from yourself

Ancient Pain Exposed
07:53
|
|||
|
Fallen to the Depths
Breathing misery, lost in the ruins of this mortal world
Corrupted without cause, infested without choice
Long forgotten the reason of your own decline
Senseless hatred, aimless hatred
You feel forced and trapped by the stink and pain around you
Captive in a swamp of emptiness and mediocrity
Forever forgotten and left in the domains of sorrow
Condemned to live in the shadows, spoils of an overwhelming reality
Hopelessly pushed into utter contempt for luminous beings
Mindless victimism, total blight
Waiting for the last great decline
Losing your remaining sanity
Consuming your own mind
Your fragile spirit will never be saved by those hateful beings of the surface
You're the victim of a fate from which you didn't manage to escape
Why did this ancient curse begin?
Destruction, pestilence, infection, past mistakes exposed
A choice forced by despair
A hellish blast that gave rise to the most uncontrollable chaos
Eight ways to demean oneself, eigth ways to suffer
Expanding the inner evil, totally collapsing
Faithless
Trying to prolong a false hope
No time to find another way
Power within cursed and rotten
Nothing else to offer
Everything you believed in now lies crumbling and worthless
Like broken dreams of a future that won't come
Charred by a burning storm of hate
Fed by the faded souls of those who trusted
The only remaining heat no longer comforts, only burns and destroys
Without clarity there's no emerging from such misfortune
With the cycle repeating, trapped for eternity

The Imposed Punishment
08:27
|
|||
|
You shall never see the light of day
Empty memories, weakly tied to your own humanity
In search for sanity your sick mind shall collapse
Turning paranoid in hopes of a rebirth of your damned soul
Faith was never an option
Dearth of will, withered hope
Dread strikes like a thrusting sword
Broken guard, darkened sense
Existential chaos remains
Eternally pleading for justice
in a world full of empty oaths
When nothing is clear
What is the greatest sin?
The uncontrollable urge to escape from reality
In search of atonement for your hidden sins
They will always chase you, they will hunt you down
With no more options: Run away, redeem yourself, die
To worship the nonexistent possibility of outer deliverance
only serves to preserve one's own captivity
As you lie down under the waning moon
You see the crows flying high under the cover of the night
Unveiling the way, the hidden truth
Like a false prophecy that no one can believe in anymore
Like the last remaining wreaks of a dying dinasty
Witnesses of your original transgression
Carried out to keep yourself safe from all you fear
Judgement, distress, waiting for an answer
Thralldom, imprisonment, no future to hide in
Sorrow, angst, a continuous failure
Too late to escape, shall not go umpunished
No hope of running away
No strength to go on
For when there is nothing left to give
Being tied to an illusion is useless
See how it all ends at last
Pray for a new era, a new beginning

Lake of Forgetfulness
09:07
|
|||
|
Immersed in your own shame you open your eyes at last
Frail and helpless, you find yourself surrounded by nothingness
You've been broken and blind, now your time is over
Accursed in this land, forced into exile
Venturing north, haunted by an immemorial guilt
Seeking to leave your nameless struggle behind
In the last days of this era
You seek rest at the edge of the world
Searching for emotional emptiness to preserve yourself
You chose the way of pain
You took the path of sorrow
A cruel but truly revealing honesty
So as not to succumb to the light of falsehood
But sincerity sometimes awakens latent griefs
Hidden sufferings that cannot be dealt with
Of twisted and reclusive minds unable to find inner peace
Only determined to achieve their own absolute destruction
You follow your path through shadows of decay
You finally come to a crossroads where the ways of destiny converge
The dilemma of making a choice haunts your shattered mind
In desperate search for your own light
You take the darkest path in an instant of clarity
Before the dreadful remembrance of your painful memories
You walk without rest until glimpsing a secluded lake in the distance
An unknown feeling overflows you
You reach the lake surrounded by mist
Drawn by the call of the whispering waves
Towards the darkest depths of the aquatic abyss and of your own soul
Finally you face yourself and your ancient trauma
In the unwavering stillness of the unearthly lake
You break free from the burden of your fears
Drowning in the ocean of your tears
Reflections of your own grief
At last start to fade away
You finally found solace
In the lake of forgetfulness

Ascension Through Fire
07:34
|
|||
|
The momentary peace of your oblivion
Is suddenly disturbed by writhing thoughts
Your wings burned long time ago
Wreathed in the flames of vital decay
Arisen from your own inner fire
Of which only cinder remains
You have felt unfit for so long
Utterly weak
Bewildered by the pain of your memories
Of your life
You had a vision in the flames
The decrepit gates of your blackened heart falling apart
In this lifeless existence
Metaphysical chaos
You wonder if this is just a nightmare
Self-destructive dreams, sick subconscious mind programmed to suffer
Although all bewilderment remains, you will rise again
In search of heat you approach the embers
While you assume your truth
Your fire fades
And you must keep it alight
To vanquish the shades of decadence
To attain catharsis
In pursuit of your own rebirth
You find yourself in an ethereal place
Where melancholy twists and fades
Lost between shadow and flame
Revitalizing your inner self
You discover the threshold of your sorrow
Within this mystical bonfire
Coming back from the darkness
Like the phoenix that's reborn from the ashes
You feel free, empty of burdens, pain and regrets
One with yourself, harder, stronger, accepting your fate
Without complaint you face another denouement
