The Ocean Of Perdition
03:12
|

I'm lost
I'm lost
The dark waves of perdition
Wash away this blood
All the torment, carried by the condemnation
Was weighted down on me
I'm lost
I'm lost
In the sea with only one destination
Bury my soul
Bury my mistakes
Bury my soul
Bury my cold heart next to them

They Play Dead
05:23

Playground is set for the ones to fade away
Without hope they crawl into their holes
This ruptured soil is all too fragile
To cover so they will suffer
Knock, knock, knock!
The reaper is at the door
Disguised in mortal form, or just an ordinary psycho
One moment smiling faces everywhere
Next moment is about to be in history
The horror begins
Nightmare in dreams
Where the fuck is your God now?
Let them die
Inside my mind there is no place to comprehend this bitterness of yours
It's not sane just blood in vain
Is this your way to save them from this morbid world?
Being the reaper, collect the bones
Who are you to decide?
Their story, their lives
Taken away by you
My only question is why?
The candles were smothered by vitriol
I'm too blind to see
From behind this anger rising
You are nothing but dust to me
And to dust you shall return
I can see only maggots crawling on the ground
Rotten maggots made of human flesh
This knife will set you free
The overwhelming urge inside of me
Have I lost my control?
The blood of the innocent stained your shadow
The caskets were buried deep in the cemetery of your crimes
Flood of tears bruised by sorrow
Drowns every mourning soul
There is no way out for them
The cold embrace strengthens the pain

Deadly Nightshade
04:48
|

Laughter fills the air
While I’m wondering in the depths of my mind
Thinking of yesterday, dreaming of tomorrow
Journey rose-colored
Path filled with venomous thorns
I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness
As I place it on your finger
I commit my heart and soul to you
False promises, artificial smiles, vow of deceit
It can’t continue like this no more
Can this impurity be washed away?
Contaminated by the self-conceit
Decayed and frozen from the inside
This is my lament to you
Sky is weeping for your sins
Acid rain burns the soil beneath my feet
To an unstable surface
Our union has fallen
Severed from its roots
Confronting the paradox
Ease the pain or be bitter till the end of time
No more lying or uncovered statements
This is the beginning of new era
This bitterness of mine
Will silence the agonizing voices in my head
Thinking of remedy
Compounding the mixture
Solution see-trough
A medley of your lies
Perfect chance to get things even
Or am I wrong?
For years our travel was so serene
Now we are million miles away
Under the beams of moonlight
My hatred is yet to come undone
These things you have done to me
Things you promised to cherish
Are so worthless now
So I don’t really care
Wrath of the betrayed is evil and menace
It will crush the wings of the deceiver
Lost in oblivion
Fear not to seek
Searching signs which cannot be reached
Confusion and nausea
Venom of deadly nightshade
Under the poisoned sky
I lay down here to rest
To a sacred ground
I bury my past behind
This pain is all too real
Was it really me?
Burden is no longer here to be carried
Murder a choice of a desperate man

Bystander Effect
05:45
|
|||
According to a basic principle of social influence
Bystanders monitor the reactions of other people
In an emergency situation to see
If others think that it is necessary to intervene
Lying on the ground not moving
Bystanders watching
Group of silent ones standing still
Watching her life taken away
Multiple stabwounds
No one to care
At the edge of the abyss
At the beginning of the end
She’s barely conscious
Her wounds bleed furiously
Eyes shut, ears plugged they stare
No one to blow the whistle
Like a cold rat she’s left on the sidewalk
Blinded by the mass
Frozen by the responsibility
Bystanders watching
She’s done with her duty
Altruism does not exist, it’s a lie
Fear of isolation
Out of sight, easily forgotten
Bunch of fuckers let her die
No one didn’t rock the boat, oh why?
Thirty-eight witnesses didn’t see anything?
Not on my neighbourhood
Not on my backyard, fuck no!
I am innocent
No one raindrop thinks it caused the flood
This debt is everlasting
We have to promote her legacy

Terminal Alteration
05:55
|

In the way of poison the leeches spread under his skin
Its now too late for vaccine, the defense has failed
In the way of pouring rain the seeds give their growth
The black clouds make their roots grow even stronger
On the top of that mountain you sense the vultures wreathing your guilt
The forgotten are here to ensure your collapse
The fear is what wraps around your shallow mind irreversibly
The struggle already lost defines you now
And the wounds chain you inside the wrath
In the mirror you see, there’s only you
At the centre of your thoughts, there’s only you
You're breaking the hand that feeds you for the very last time
Envenom the ties you used to cherish
Omission speaks volumes of these consequences yet to breathe air
So inhale the pain if you no longer feel
Reflect yourself, the time has a grasp on your frailty
You're swelling from the inside
Your body can't withstand the pressure
Walk down the path that leads you astray
On the brink of isolation you descend
Those hollow promises pull you deeper below
Deliverance is no option
Is this what you sought for?
Is this what you solicited?
Replaced your heart with a black stone
Your journey destined to desolation

Harbinger Of Ravage
03:55
|
|||
One thousand lies carved to these walls
A riddle called life is soon to be solved
This humankind will never retrace the reason
This room, the space that haunts me
Whispers the cries that make me bleed
The eerie voices of rainy season
Destruction yearns for this place
Its gentle touch sweeps the surface
Afraid of life you pray for extinction
Walk this empty planet and see it through my eyes
Without words I speak
Can you sense the atmosphere?
Drown in empty glance and feel the story
Don't give me the answers
I already know the truth
Forever insane inside six walls
Signs of my collapsing mind
A man's figure in the dark corner
Singing its psychedelic lullaby
The room begins to shatter
The stroking man believes his matter
Incapable of reconstruction
Terrorize the remains
Circled by the laughing faces
Your chance to crush the final wall
Breathe their toxins
Breed your madness
Crown yourself and bring it to a close
Seal your isolation
The solitude maintains my sanity
Awareness of the outworld breaks it down
The colours of my days are so dark
On the wall I paint this nation burning down
And cast my shadow over those flames
This view takes my breath away
The plaque of this earth has cremated
And the world is beautiful again
