In the Heart of Chaos

The coldest winter the piercing rain
The harvest shattered by the cry of the skies
The black light of the moon illuminates path of the storm
Morning suffers eternal sleep
Memories of the night as cold as the ocean
Raised from the depths of the unknown darkness
The raging waves draw a new horizon
Sinking the hopes of another breaking dawn
Last leaves of fall left two cursed souls mourning
Forever with the chaos in their hearts
Screams of the siren stream through the rivers of hopelessness
The gale wields disorder and swallows the daylight
Doomed to wander these woods shackled in their nightmares
Creatures awaking sleepless shadows in the dusk
The weight of the misery breaks the spine from the one who`s trapped
In the maze of denial awaiting the walls to crumble
Fragments of the past shrouded with the spite
The sun resigns despair overcomes
The blood-soaked trails the only remnants of life
Consumed by the emptiness the withering void
The whispers of the wind, the voices of evil
Travels through the forests with the silent deadly tone
Follow my voice and I will guide you to the silence.
I am the night, Im the servant of demise
The ghost of oblivion dwells in the foundation
Crafting the fear and the horrors in the waking hour
Solemn is the sigh of a forsaken one
Harrowing journey through the fading tide
Soon the storm of ashes nourishes the Earth
These hollow lands will once more amend

To Become Feathered

As the daylight reaches its end
Darkness veils the sins of this world
Hidden out of sight, like a burden too great to bear
The poison of hatred seated near the heart
Slowly lures into action
Not even the strongest concrete will keep the turmoil inside
Strangled by emotions buried under the serpent sun
Pilgrimage of spirit, a sacred balance
To become feathered
Rigid structure built around finally collapses
Substituting the faith of fear, with sweet melody of liberty
As the wheel of light once awaken
The restless wanderer departs from its shore
In a tidal wave of distortion
The shadow image of the self implanted to the core
Starts to change form into something vivid
From enshrinement, behind the web of lies
From concealement, into tenebrous night
Without disguise, with open arms, entirely awake
A disembodied existence controls no more
Caged inside of its own presence
A tamed beast inside a beast
Profound awe still remains
Once conceded, forever granted

Epiphany
06:12

Born from the seeds of evil, particles chosen by the others
Raised by the owls, visitors of the night
Silently drowns me in tears under the eyes of god
Incurable affection, bond everlasting
Me and the faces behind the curtain
In a pitch-black play
An outcast by a choice or is it the fate predefined
The Waters of Eden, echo from the entombed dreams
To walk through these dissonant worlds in harmony
Shadows branded within must be revealed
The graven image of the self altered into divine veil
Unmasked in a stolen silence, I am floating in a breeze
The pretender of the bedtime is drifting in to the heart of chaos
"Breaking of the shell encloses your understanding.
It is the bitter potion within which heals your sick self
Consume this remedy in silence and in tranquility"
With the guidance of the innermost forces
I dance with the spiral of life, without fear and suspicion
"Beyond all comprehension, death is the road to awe
You'll find what you've been seeking, yearning for ages
The dormition of your ego - Your life is now yours"
An opening into transcendence
Becoming one with the moment
Separation - The fleeting loss
Dictator now uncrowned
The remains come undone
Nature's laws shaping psyche
Shadows and the sun are now aligned
Out of the agony have emerged the strongest souls
The most massive characters are seared with scars
"Stare in the vortex and see it with your own eyes
Trough obscurity, you must pursue, to walk trough
the pineal door"

The Explorer

In this time, in this place
Just passing through the timeless world of waves
There comes a time when the world gets silent
Hear the long lost melodies
The perilous highs and desperate lows
Signs of the beating heart
Guiding through the deepest haze
The castaway will reclaim from the havoc within
In all chaos there is a cosmos
Adorned with infinite beauty
Reflect from tears of the torment
In all disorder there is an order
Left, Right, Left, Be Right and Fight
To survive the lashes of oppression
Inhaled hatred in a form of love
Dead canvas saw it all - the inevitable
Dysfunction of the world
Beyond the pale without designated bounds
The clarity of my remedy
Embrace the tainted soil
Captivating the shadowiness of my own
Death for me, death for you, death for the wingless
I saw through dusky air the pyre
That shot a dismal glare
I refused to be diffused
I did not let her stay dead in my head
I said breath
All the horrors are sinked deep in the ink
As a hindsight bias
Of the days that are numbered
Sense the blazing sky, oh why?
The gardener cast our souls
To divided path of woe
Revealing the wonders of existence
The growth was in the ground
Wonders at our feet
Violated and lost in abyss
Explorer harmoniously in abiding bliss
Avow the darkness to thrive again
Together we roam in resonance
But in the end we are the desolation
Despair in the halo of ecstasy
We are the martyrs, we are crucified alone
Inhaled hatred in a form of love
Dead canvas saw it all - the inevitable
Dysfunction of the world
As visitors in this time, in this place
We as creators, one with the vibration

Ablaze in the Ruins
05:37
|

|
Deadly tongues slither in the ruins of wisdom
A monolith built to last, begins to collapse
As I'm being circled
By the ones who cared not to see the sun
Will there be another dawn, in the land of strangers?
Prudence has fallen
Accusations from a thin air, invisible chasm between
How far can you see blindfolded?
Your collective conscience degraded
This will be my last masquerade
The great loss of empathy, defines you now, predators on a hunt
No traces of sympathy, no future divine
Only souls to be abandoned
They are famished for weakness, waiting for my guard to break
To tear, not to hear, I'm everything you fear
Consequences are mine to bear
A constant fiery stigma given at birth
Leads trough doubt and regret
There are worlds I create, where you are not invited
By my hand, you will be draped in fear
On the deathbed of your demise
Can you avow you lived like there was no tomorrow?
Where to look, when no one is holding your hand?
Guidelines vanish into the distance
As I rise among those who refused to breathe
My will, my pride, my perserverance
The great loss of empathy, defines you now, predators on a hunt
No traces of sympathy, no future divine
Spread your wings and fly away from the bounds of time
Away from the sleepless night, soar into horizon
Where your dreams are once aroused
Place of infinite delight, it is waiting
