Only I

-- Only I --
Only I can see all my failures
Only I am one with disaster
Only I can tame this pain in my mind
Only I can kill the truth that I find
Only I can unravel this puzzle
Only I will live with the struggle
Only I can taste this all like cancer
Only I can decipher the answer
The theory of myself to see past the brink of death
I cannot exhale nor accept
Followed by the image of timid longing
I repent it all with an inhale of regret
Only I can erase the decree
Meals of lies and righteous disease
Now a feeding frenzy
Only I can tease an end
Wishes of a harmless escape
God I hope its not too late
For me
Withered inside I am becoming
That which I detest again
Loss beckons
Watered down the soul
To drown out the bleeding anguish within
Breathe it deep
Choking on the ash
That floats like smoke and dust in the wind
Gone and vapid
Into depths I disappear
Further from an end that begins
Only I can feel the immense pressure
Only I can fathom this rapture
Only I can shed this skin of retreat
Only I will shoulder this defeat
Only I will be the fallen apart
Only I will live with scars in my heart
Only I can taste it all like cancer
Only I can decipher the answer
The theory of myself to see past the brink of death
Followed by the image of timid longing and regret
Steadily and slowly disassembling my self respect
Eagerly and wholeheartedly planning my final exit
(Solo)
Only I can holster the torment of being me
Never-ending dreams of anxiety
Blackened sight with a narrow point of view
Depression gets the better of you
I will settle with my anger and the world
Pissed off by true necessity
The endless collapse of my woe, kill yourself
God I hope it's not too late
For me
Withered inside I am becoming
That which I detest again
Loss beckons
Watered down the soul
To drown out the bleeding anguish within
Breathe it deep
Choking on the ash
That floats like smoke and dust in the wind
Gone and vapid
Into depths I disappear
Further from an end that begins...

The Hooded One

-- The Hooded One --
"I traverse the shadows, deepest of depths I tread"
Ahhhhhh!!!
I traverse the shadows, deepest of depths I tread
Slow walk towards the end of your life
Beckon this fateful end
Taming lines of reality, I call to each by name
Twisting lives endlessly, all drown in my gaze
Once I enter your sight
Those who know you are never left the same
My cloak made of skin, pieced by the threads of time
I can never change, this is my claim in this world
My ever swinging scythe, severing the links to this life
Frayed and withered to ash, burning like a flag unfurled
I am the hooded one, the thief of dreams and pride
I am the shrouded one, this touch of death I provide
Not a prayer can stray, nor a promise be made
That would cease my tireless pace
Day and night, years and lifetimes
All find me still, never-ending chase
Lead you to your grave, a tombstone with your name
Etched with the things you achieved in vain
Skeleton hands outstretched, summoning this defeat
I steal away the poor, the dying, the elusive elite!!!
(Solo)
Sunlight and moonlight, Intertwine
Reflected upon, my bloody scythe
Embrace me when I come and take my hand
I am the hooded one so understand
I am in your bones, I embody your mind
I'm all you will ever need and all you will find
My cloak made of skin, tethered from beginning to end
Tied strings of the damned, to dust you will return
My dead and empty eyes, the windows to your demise
I take those left behind and those who never even tried
I am the gift for your birth
So little your soul is worth
Nothing ever said or felt
Last words were shared in doubt
Take you from your mortal shell
Introduce you to endless hell
Shackled to this path unpaved
From this you cannot be saved...

In Darkness Alone
07:44
|

-- In Darkness Alone --
Cast away, the dark has me chained
Forever enslaved to invoke this spinning cage
I'm blind, not a light can shine
Former self now sold and thrown away
Splitting apart, heavy the ash in my heart
To this pain I sell my soul
The pit of my life, the dwindling hope
Always find myself in darkness alone
If I disappeared
Who would be aware, no one around to care
This selfless exception
Remain unrepaired, What should I fear (your fear is here)
The damage is born, from the womb I am torn
This selfless oppression
Watching the world go by
I sit and watch myself die with this stain of contempt
Bury my pride like nothing's alive
I sit and watch my love die with a taint of regret
Faster I am falling, this darkness keeps calling
Cut my tongue and bleed me dumb
No one cares and no one may
Rip me out and sell me doubt
No one comes and no one remains
I am the mistake, my life is meant to be this way
Lived for only one day, I was never meant to be saved
I am the mistake, all my life I live it ashamed
Lived for only one thing, find the empty and there I stay
Numbness grows over me I am the obscene
Always unseen in the black of my dreams
Cater this voice as a lonely choice
Always unheard is the depths of my screams
Wretched my ways
Puking my guts for these words make me sick
Make me wish I was enough
Wretched my ways
Spilling my guts for this world claims my bones and my blood
Filtered through me, the ever longing
Wretched my ways
Puking my guts, filtered through me, the ever longing
I crumble down, I sunder over
I blankly stare, at the grave I uncovered
M. vigilia spiritus meus (watch my spirit die)
Involucris, mihi tenebris (darkness envelopes me)
Ego mortuum quam vivere (i am dead beyond life)
Solus necat (loneliness kills)
(Solo)
In darkness alone
Where I belong and where I was born
In darkness alone
Where pain begins and takes its final form
Wretched my ways
Puking my guts for these words make me sick
Make me wish I was enough
Wretched my ways
Spilling my guts for this world claims, my bones and my blood
Nothing I am or ever was, nothing I can or ever want
Nothing I grieve nor perceive, will ever be before me
In darkness alone, where I find myself to die
In darkness alone, where I live the rest of my life
(Outro)

Memory Unknown
07:25
|

-- Memory Unknown --
Condolences to the path un-walked, a shadow unseen
Gritty my touch, from digging out from in between
Echoes the voice, the laughter I love from what I create
Forever engraved, upon my soul is your namesake
All the times that pass, empty halls
Empty rooms like an empty glass
Apologies that never ascend, leave my heart
Leave my mind completely smashed
Each step away, (remains) another memory unknown
Each end of each day, (buried in me) a memory unknown
If it was only up to me, if only this could be
You and me in the same dream, yet never asleep
Pour myself out, bleed the pain, for when I am without
I am within!!!
Condolences to the ones that wake, a presence unfelt
Screaming yet hushed, in silence I drown, alone with guilt
Envision a void, full of hopes and joy, instead of silent noise
Endless I slave, to give all I can and never destroy
Each step away, (remains) another memory unknown
Each end of each day, (buried in me) a memory unknown
Lessons, I will teach, hold your tongue, grit your teeth
Find the world, is not so empty, as it seems
Cherish, every moment, every question, every answer
Find your solace, find it freely, keep your dreams
(Solos)
All the times that pass, empty halls
Empty rooms like an empty glass
Apologies that never ascend, leave my heart
Leave my mind completely smashed
Ever-long, I will live
And hold you close, protect your interest
Never gone, only away
I will return, forever and always
Ever-long, I will love
Never gone, I will return

-- Chant for Ezkaton --
Fly (fly) high my Black Eagle
Let golden thread bind our eyes
May our minds and hearts blood unite
On your wings carry me over the abyss
Beyond The Reason and across the burning seas
Then, with your claw tear the earth
And usher me into the secrets of her bowels
Down to the light of the new beginning
And the end which shimmers
Circle round and round my Black Eagle
Let our senses be touched by ultimate pleasure
May the passion of hunting become all devouring
Slash!!! Slash!!!
Slash (slash), slash with your beak
Remove all gods from my way
And thoughts, and sorrows
And let me trespass the barriers of fear
Scream, whole cosmos tremble
May echoes become my sweetest mantra
Spirit of Freedom, Eternal Wanderer, Joyful Solitude
Higher and higher, towards the stars of awareness
Let the worlds of imagination and fact become one
When I am you and you are me!!!

Silent Night Fever

-- Silent Night Fever --
Let's fucking go!!!
Ahhhhh!!!
Written words that fell from grace
Unmasked to show its solemn face
Thrills are born beneath our skies
Fear is shown where evil lies
In my deep eternal darkness
I'm reaching for the edge
Can't hold on much longer
I shed my final tears
Silent - Is the air I breathe
Night - Has now been feeding me
Fever - Has been brought to you
Silent night fever - Madness my believer
Shadows reap these dirty walls
The demons laugh as his conscious falls
They feast upon the grey and cold
Unleashes the unleashable, your story is told
Silent - Is the air I breathe
Night - Has now been feeding me
Fever - Has been brought to you
Silent night fever - Madness my believer
In my deep eternal darkness
I'm reaching for the edge
Can't hold on much longer
I shed my final tear
Madness is my believer
Silent - Is the air I breathe
Night - Has now been feeding me
Fever - Has been brought to you
Silent night fever - Madness my believer
My Believer

-- Victorious March --
Kill...
Ahhhhh!!!
Ten heavy feet walks the blood-soiled ground
With rhythm these five warriors march
No matter how much the bleeding wounds
From enemy sword-cuts hurts to the bone
The revenge they sought
Was taken, in blood
No mercy was showed
No mercy was showed
They ignore the pain that hammerlike pounds
From falls, off slain horses, to the ground
No signs of weakness, no signs of weariness
Not even a glimpse of remorse in their fucking eyes
They slew men ruthless
fed the wolves with flesh
And now they leave this land side by side
Now they're headed home
Five swordsmen who fought repentlessly
Their story will be told
Of five brave men, endlessly
(Solo)
All sorrow is left
For the women to bare
The children cries
They'll live in fear
No man was spared
No house or farm remains
No Christian woman un-raped
Their church consumed by flames
By flames!!!
Their church consumed by flames
By Flames!!!
Ahhhhh!!!
Their steel shines red with enemy blood
It sings of victory granted by the gods
And as they return
Bleeding but proud
The horizon burns
And the song is ringing loud!!!

The God That Failed
05:14
|

-- The God That Failed --
Pride you took, pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Not the word, not the love
Not what you thought from above
It feeds (it feeds), it grows (it grows)
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit, deceive
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
Find your peace, find your say
Find the smooth road on your way
Trust you gave, a child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
It feeds (it feeds), it grows (it grows)
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit, deceive
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
(Solo)
I see faith in your eyes
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
Pride you took, pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Trust you gave, a child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
I see faith in your eyes
Never your hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the God that failed
Follow the God that failed
Broken is the promise
Betrayal, betrayal
