Burden

My mind is broken
All love is gone, my soul is torn apart
You’ll never open
Gates of darkness hiding in my heart
My words are venom
Poisoning your troubled gaze with hate
Until demise will take you
Misery and madness — your best friends
It is the thought
That future‘s slipping out of your cold hands
It is the thought
That I’ve become the worst of your mistakes
I close my eyes
I see ruin and eternal nightmare
Hot grains of sand
Burn me to the very bone
Fear irresistible
Death inconvincible
Unholy tongue of violence we speak
The only truth that nihilist shall seek
Unholy tongue of violence we speak
Your heartbeat stops and you cease to exist
Exist now!
I close my eyes
I see ruin and eternal nightmare
Hot grains of sand
Burn me to the very bone
Lived through betrayal
Deception filled my veins with hate
Hot grains of sand
Please wash it all away

Cursed Crown

Cursed Crown
On wings of grim and cruel night
Beholding minions bowed to my might
I’m sliding over sleeping land
I’m riding winds of imminence
Come, lit the torch, foretaste the scorch
Sit, make your prayers, all in his name
All in his name, for grace you search
Let burn!
They took my light
Hid far from sight
Extorted false confession
Ecstatic in obsession
They took my light
They stole my pride
My visions leaked like water
Their hopes are doomed to slaughter
Hear me stepping down
Herald of futility
Take off my cursed crown
Harbinger of disaster
Hear me stepping down
Disposing false divinity
Nothing will save you
But fire from above
Blood rain rages on!
Reprisal!
The only thing you worth
Is Death
Gathering masses below the earth
Aimed to strike world to the core
Cravens and traitors within my sphere
Won’t stop the sentence
Hear me stepping down
Herald of futility
Take off my cursed crown
Harbinger of disaster
Hear me stepping down
Disposing false divinity
Nothing will save you
But fire from above
She dedicated herself to treating humans
Healing them
But they tied her to a stake
And burned alive
No! She’s begging to forgive
No! But I won’t listen… no more
Hear me stepping down
Herald of futility
Take off my cursed crown
Harbinger of disaster
Hear me stepping down
Disposing false divinity
Nothing will save you
But fire from above
Hear me stepping down
Take off my cursed crown
Hear me stepping down
Nothing will save you
But fire from above

Beyond
04:39
|

Guided by distant calling
Of those who failed
I’ll turn your star to supernova
To show my way
Piercing the black nothingness
Beast, bristled with guns
Will flood the senseless emptiness
With legions under my command
Once runt, abandoned at birth
Skin bleached by the sun
Now leader, heading to Earth
Where new order shall rise
Am I chosen?
Is this my destiny?
Or it’s a shovel that digs my grave?
Beyond the border
Border of mortality
Lies the salvation I desperately crave
I crave
Hiding in the storm
Concealed from detection
Approaching red swarm
Soon your Light is no more
No more!
Am I chosen?
Is this my destiny?
Or it’s a shovel that digs my grave?
Beyond the border
Border of mortality
Lies the salvation I desperately crave
I give no damn
If it's a God or Machine
When I speak -
Others follow my creed
Once runt, abandoned at birth
Skin, bleached by the sun
I’ll show how wrong was your bet
You’re nothing, but a testament to my might
Am I chosen?
Is this my destiny?
Or it’s a shovel that digs my grave?
Beyond the border
Border of mortality
Lies the salvation I desperately crave
I give no damn
If it's a God or Machine
Here comes salvation I desperately crave
I crave

Fetters
05:40

Thou art the father
Cursed be your name
The darkest color
Color of your fame
Hardest man
To make proud
The worst of you
Now dwells in son
Instead of courage
You’ve breed vermin
Instead of of hope
You gave me fetters
The bells are tolling
Not for you
Bad seed keeps growing
Keeps falling
Being undone
Thou art the father
Cursed be your name
Why did you bother
Extinguishing my flame
Instead of courage
You’ve breed vermin in my heart
Instead of of hope
You gave me fetters
The bells are tolling
Not for you to kingdom come
Bad seed keeps growing
Keeps falling
Being undone
In darkest times
Light hurts the most
You’ve got under my
Skin and I am cursed
In darkest times
Light hurts the most
Thy won’t be done
Thy won’t be done

Haunted
04:00
|
|||
Cast down and cornered
Lurking below
Deep down we’ve fallen
Connections lost
Now watch from cover
How hounding city reaches
Synthetic feelers
Towards starless skies
There is no way to run
There is no place to hide
Nowhere to seek salvation
Frost in cold despair
Give me hope to dare
To make it out alive
Mauled by regrets
Reduced to nothing
Unable to forget
Self-terrorizing
Foe shall not relent
No regret
Strike without a warning
Come! Meet your fate
Hand of doom
Leads you to halls of mourning
There is no way to run
There is no place to hide
Nowhere to seek salvation
Frost in cold despair
Give me hope to dare
To make it out alive
Haunted by the ghosts
What is dead shall make you dread
Circle’s getting closed
What left of faith has bleed…OUT!
Decisions made you self-despise
Opened the path can’t be denied
Grey fog is drifting out
Steel beast opens its eyes
Fight! Fight like hell
No repel
Strike without a warning
Come! Meet your fate
Hand of doom
Leads you to halls of mourning
There is no way to run
There is no place to hide
Nowhere to seek salvation
Frost in cold despair
Give me hope to dare
To make it out alive
There is no way to run
There is no place to hide
Nowhere to seek salvation
Frost in cold despair
Give me hope to dare
To make it out alive

Sealed

Trapped in rueful cage of ribs
Hammered to bottom of very existence
Air stings my fingertips
I’m losing control, I fall into pieces
My mind is a disaster, infected hive
Chaos whirls endlessly, end’s never nigh
Suffocating, trapped in the walls
Imprisoned, amputated soul
Filthy stench punishes my senses
Rusty machines guarding fences
You can not hold me down
I will chew through the bars
You can not hold me down
The awe in me is wiped out
The pressure
Inception
Creation
Deliverance in doubt
Seal your lips, lose your grip and obey
Inhale bitter wilt, fade away
Don’t admit, stay asleep, dream forever
No more pain, no more fear, no rebellion
Trapped in rueful cage of ribs
Hammered to bottom of very existence
I take no vengeance on helpless wraith
I have the guts to end this perdition
You can not hold me down
I will chew through the bars
You can not hold me down
The awe in me is wiped out
The pressure
Inception
Creation
Deliverance in doubt
The awe in me is wiped out

River Of Snakes

Key scratches the surface
It searches
It finds the lock
Ramming in through the restless night
Malodorous figure is showing
Disobedient hands
Disobedient legs, staggered
By unnatural light
Awake!
Make four shadows awake
Forsake
All hope and obey
The Snake
You’ve been led far astray
By river
Awake!
Shadows claiming their stakes
Forsake!
Beingness buried in debt
Dismay!
You’ve been led far astray
By River, River of Snakes
Suppressed feelings
Imposed shame
You’ve tied yourself to pain
Inferior living
Whole world to blame
Inner Sanctum is set to flame
They watch from every slit
They whisper
An inconvenient truth
Disgusting but essential
The hand of life you’ve bit
Now blistered
Drags you from wall to wall
Full of closed doors
Suppressed feelings
Imposed shame
You’ve tied yourself to pain
Inferior living
Whole world to blame
Inner Sanctum is set to flame
Choking arrogance
Grinding teeth
Child abandoned by his race
Man blindly roaming
On one way road
Along the River of Snakes
Run!

Of Vice And Men
05:48
|
|||
Through darkest of ages
Men keep seeking power
Holy wars being waged
Lead to reckoning hour
King, ruling with fire
Tying intrigues
Following desperate desire
To conquer the masses being deceived
Spreading destruction
Speaking nonsense
Tempted became hidden disciples
Of vices, urging to possess
Thrown into survival
Some seeking light
In people and knowledge
For pale chance they holding tight
At the maelstrom of terrific events
Two brothers and a nation gets lost
By the law of equivalent exchange
What was missing will return to the host
To forgive and forget immense harm
To reach ultimate understanding
We must push ourselves so far
So far enemy is ready to break in
Step in condemned circle
Become a sacrifice
Freedom is only purpose
To conquer the might of god
Led by hollow promise
Blinded by abysmal greed
Awake the ruthless Chthonic
That may forever be
Rise! Northern soldiers
Guarding borders covered in snow
Rise! Brave and loyal
Secret alliance facing the foe
Mindgames, arranged figures
Treachery and deception
Sides ready to pull the trigger
To start a final war
Step in condemned circle
Become a sacrifice
Freedom is only purpose
To conquer the might of god
Led by hollow promise
Blinded by abysmal greed
Awake the ruthless Chthonic
That may forever be
We are so lost
Lust, pride, greed, wrath
We are so lost
Slaves to gluttony
Slaves to sloth
We are so lost
Lust, pride, greed, wrath
We are so lost
Eternal envy
Eternal path
At the maelstrom of terrific events
Two brothers and a nation gets lost
By the law of equivalent exchange
What was missing will return to the host
To forgive and forget immense harm
To reach ultimate understanding
We must push ourselves so far
So far enemy is ready to break in
Step in condemned circle
Become a sacrifice
Freedom is only purpose
To conquer the might of god
Led by hollow promise
Blinded by abysmal greed
Awake the ruthless Chthonic
That may forever be
Forever!
We are so lost
Forever
We are so lost!

Wish
03:21

Day by day I’m grinding
Working my way through debris of life
Sometimes it feels like fighting
Sometimes I find myself only through strife
Where can I exile
This anger out of me?
My heart is filled with fire
If I don’t let it out - I’ll become zero degree
No time to reach perfection
No need to hide every rough edge
I am afraid if I keep reflecting
My dreams will never happen
Oh how I wish that all visions and images
All the right words
Would have been sealed in my chamber of memory
Kept forever in soul
Oh how I wish there would be only path
Simple and plain
Will I find answers by walking this land?
Will I give up everything for something I gain?
I can’t stand, I can’t stand in one place
I can’t walk, I can’t walk only one way
I can’t stand, I can’t stand in one place
I can’t walk, I can’t walk only one way
Struggling to find a balance
To stay in present
Fighting for my future
Learning from the past
No time to reach perfection
No need to hide every rough edge
I am afraid if I keep reflecting
My dreams will never happen
Oh how I wish that all visions and images
All the right words
Would have been sealed in my chamber of memory
Kept forever in soul
Oh how I wish there would be only path
Simple and plain
Will I find answers by walking this land?
Will I give up everything for something I gain?
I can’t stand, I can’t stand in one place
I can’t walk, I can’t walk only one way
Oh how I wish
