I cast despair
No matter where
I do not spare
Any pain I share
I understand that life is finite
I pretend that I am what they think I am.
I feel like it’s only a matter of time.
I touch my face and wonder why it’s mine.
I am real
Life is not
I am
Just a visitor

Enochian Hate Plague
04:48
|
|||
I can feel the beckon of violence
The Passages are clear on this night
Sanguine River, Beautiful Hell
The exodus of pain destroys pride
For hate conquers all
And kill the spirit within
For I am scorn in your eyes
And you are scorn in mine
Time of harvest
Crescentian centuries
Fertile woman
Bearers of plague
Ravens whisper
Black flame
Baneful World
Dance of flesh

Gates of Perdition
03:49
|
|||
Luring darkness continuously
Offering ourselves to decadence
To Worship the fields of blight
And erase all the good and white
We have found the Gates of Perdition
Humanity itself crowned at the stake
We are lost in ourselves
And the decadent straying madness
Benighted by destructive alienation
Arrogant and individual ways
Draining Putrefaction
The one that reality try to blaze
|

You only know how to destroy
It's the only thing you do
Overlord of extinction
Humanity cursed by woe
If existence is pointless
Destroying yourself is worthless
You are chained to your own desruction
And you should fight to break free

Trapped demon swarms
Inhuman fears
Black fog
Frozen vermins
Malignant nightmares my sanity consume
My internal Coven will alter my remains
My shadow infects the illusions and fantasies
For I am the one who brings a decaying light
A wraith fire dominate my heart
For She brings a answer for my restlessness
And desecrate my soul with the seed of her womb
But I am not Her slave, I am a son of her teachings
I am blight and bright all in one, in perfect chaos
Alright...
What I can say?
I boil in hunger
Let's hurt someone
And get rid of the body
Come with me
Son of a bastard man
Together we will hunt
An innocent prey tonight
We shall feast on her pure flesh
Make her a mangled disaster
Take her parts as a trophy
And ravage will lust
I can become the bringer of monstrosities
I am not chained, my wings are not broken
I can hurt, I can destroy
I can make you my decoy
Malignant nightmares my sanity consume
My internal Coven will alter my remains
My shadow infects the illusions and fantasies
For I am the one who brings a decaying light
Trapped demon swarms
Inhuman fears
Black fog
Frozen vermins
Can you see the danger beneath everyone of us?

Shards of Sanity
04:18
|
|||
I can't feel any warm
I can't mourn anyone
I can't care about anything
From the moment I broke nothing was the same
I don't remember the moment, nor the year
I changed forever, I was marked and scarred
Everything is laid to waste
I've spent all of my lonely nights destroying me
Looking for a sign that tells me I'm not crazy
Making myself believe it's not true
I know is too late

Truth hurts more than a lie
Better keep smiling, don't cry
Make your pain invisible to the eye
Get a trip and fly
Destroy yourself and die
Back to the outerdark
Cut yourself and get struck
Act and never look back
Never regret
Choke on dispair
You never fail
In lie there is success
Disease leads
To abusive need
Mourning tragedy
Welcome to reality
Truth hurts more than a lie
Better keep smiling, don't cry
Make your pain invisible to the eye
Get a trip and fly
Destroy yourself and die
Back to the outerdark
Cut yourself and get struck
Act and never look back
If this is who you really are, I want you far
If this is what a truth is, I never want one

The Blackest Coma
04:47
|
|||
We all know what we are, insignificance,
Not only in the history of this world but in the continuation of the universe
So, it doesn't matter if we are depressed because of abuse, mental illness or the loss of a loved one
There is only one objective fact
It doesn't matter if we are happy and complete, if we live a good life in human standars
Our presence is less than an instant in the immensity
We are not even living a lie
Someday we will sink in the blackest coma
Someday not even death will have a meaning
And all for what humanity have strived
Will disappear burning or drowning
|
||||
9. |

For Life is a Epitome of hypocrisy
Full of intoxication and lies
Where you elevate yourself with deceit
In self-destructing relationships
Illuminated by catharsis
To plummet in defilement
The celestial culmination
Of the divine negation of humanity
Crawling like the inner lepers we are
We are teached to bleed
And behold the savior with the scythe
Consciousness perishes as we advance
|

I can say It's all a dream
I can say It's all a dream
I can say It's all a dream
No reason to follow me
You shall bend the knee
To a chaining decree
You can hang on a tree
If you want to be free
It matters not if you burn in Hell, boil in Diyu or drown in the Well
It matters not if you break the seal or you make with Satan a deal
You will keep dreaming while you are beliving
Destroying or creating while searching for a meaning
Living in a lie, walking tall
High in heaven, stoned in hell
Hearing for the bell at the start of the day
You shall search for the unmeaning
The detachment of all you think
You are a subject of the condition
You shall beat your own reality

The Darkness Beckoning
06:25
|
|||
Stranded in urban grey waste
Exiled from beauty
In dismal distortions of reality
Hybrid Parasite am I
Mirrored in the abyss
Wings of disturbing arsenic
Neon stars reflect in the depths
Of this crevasse penumbra
|

Your river was named after the tree of wisdom
But can you tell me something?
No, you can't, you fool, you disgusting pile of ashes
and shattered dreams,
Ancient gods from your streets look at me
With faces of boredom, anguish and pain.
The neverending story of broken people,
Living in a cloud of poison,
But thinking they can still look at the high
And see the true color of the sky.
No dream for you, nor hope nor life
Lie in a mist of silent despair,
Floating over the screams and the flashes of vanity and dread
I want to get out of here!
You can't exist, you must not!
Trapped here I can only imagine
Fire, destruction, oblivion, decay!
Forgiveness is far from your reach.
The cancer of perpetual alienation
That inherited the disease of past centuries
I can only see the delusion of false hope
For consciousness is a grave that you can reach
A collective hallucination of pretending smiles
A tide of regression where you only can drown
Beneath such horrorific dismay there should be a shard of light
But no, this place is dreadful, an awe of consternation
Putrid and desolate, never beautiful
Pathetic fates destined to meet in bitterness
Not a glimpse of what is promised in narcotic wraith
Everything is a broken mirage of a mangled vigor
Lost in repeating moments of decadence and degeneration
A mosaic of moral malformation destroyed by decline
Another bloody night in this fucking city,
And darkness falls over me like a rain of shame,
Washing away everything good in my life
And filling me with anger and hate
As you can fill any heart, any glass, any recipe,
With the sour scent of false smiles and good decieves.
No dream for you, nor hope nor life,
In legends of yore, corrupted cities,
For much less than what I can see,
Were merciless erased with sulphur and fire,
But you prevail in your cradle of misery and lies,
And trapped here I can only imagine
Fire, destruction, oblivion, despair ...!
Forgiveness is a flower that cannot bloom in a putrid land.
