We Are But Memories
05:21
|
|||
|
We are nothing more, we are nothing less
An abstract scatter across a monumental creation
Made up from beams of a dying light
Eternal waves ripples across time
Shadows from distant past
Mere remnants of a time gone and lost
Animated suspension, like a speck of dust
Bursting into motion, between two worlds
We are nothing more, we are nothing less
We grow taller than our own capacity
Our thirst for power is unmatched
Sparks of solar light ignites our very existence
Frozen in this undeniable reality
Forever lost in a blink of an eye
One last Glimmers of hope dies
This infinite, this burden we carry
Like a dying star, we are but memories
Where hearts descend to a certain death
Are we the abyss
Blurred lines between dimensions lost
Among the unwavering minds hides the knowledge
Like a radiant crown, hidden in plain sight
Hides a world lost in the dark
Once born from utter magnificence

The Weight Of Reality
04:12
|
|||
|
A blissful innocence destroyed forever
All shackles thrown away, free to see it all
With bloody feet your travels come to an end
Finally seeing the world for what it is
We are all stuck in this cesspool of humanity
Sucking all and everything dry
All for the temporary benefits of greed
We are all beneath and unworthy
Do not think that you are safe
Do not trust men as it is, none will be for you
You are all alone on this planet
And at the end of days, no one will remember you
The limited joy you find in a lifetime
Is mainly an illusion, created to keep you in line
There is no point to it all, nothing but a void
Everyone loses in the end
Fold under the weight of reality
On your knees to obey leaders
Blind to the facts that is destroying you
Brainwashed into obediance
The architects of our realty are laughing
Laughing at your blind stupidity
We fall in line, and play the same game
Over and over we let them leads us

The Last Farewell
04:03
|
|||
|
The last farewell has been uttered
As the narrow path comes to its end
Brush the dust of your shoulders
Fade away into eternal chaos
A wish that granted
All those years ago
Has finally come into fruition
Profess this destructive romance
I can now gladly pass into
An endless existence
As dawn replaces the longest night
A sun rises and life disappears
The carrion crows have gathered one last time
To bid farewell to his mortal coil
Into the soil he sinks
Finally, at peace, finally lost
Dying under the midnight stars
To a song and dance
Made for the final journey
Back from where you once came
This inner struggle stopped dead
Like a breath that suffocated
A light that was engulfed in darkness
Like a heart that no longer beats

Cursed
05:08
|
|||
|
Echoes, swift through valleys and hills
With a sense of eerie, an impending downfall
Singing the songs at the end of worlds
No where to hide, far from shores of home
Earth is devoured
A black hole opens
All consuming, leaving none
At the heart of it all, death bares our faith
A whisper, this faded glow
Once an echo that crushed us all
Destroying all in its path
Leaving nothing but darkness in its wake
Chaos feeds chaos
Giving birth to the god of destruction
Grinding the very existence of man
Killing all time eternally
The winter of all end’s approaches
The mighty has fallen, pounded into dust
A moan of a dying past
A single breath cursed us all
From the dark, from the cold vast night
A void reborn, never to falter again
From nothing came everything
Decaying, dying, eradicated

Drown
03:45
|
|||
|
Behold the sorrowful one
So, blinded by their own misery
That they miss out on what is right there
Every event turned into negativity
They could be served happiness on a silver plate
And still find a way to give it a bleak shade
When nothing is good enough
And the obsession for something better is all
A wall of self-pity is built
One that can never fall
Where logic and reason are dead
In the selfishness founded in pity
Sick to world so bright
Draped in a cloak of depression
Self-created, made to fit the view of sadness
A sadness created, but so easily avoided
Drowning in your own self-pity
Where no words will take
In a whole, where you are stuck
A world revolving around your bruised ego
Given the option to be happy
You turn a blind eye a million times and more
Your mind collected and focused
On one thing only, a never ending cycle
|

6. |

|
On shores so bleak and grey
The last flame of hope dies
Lost in a sea of despair
Where grimness shall prevail
In a world where we are blind
A search that leads to nothing
Where there is nothing left to find
And yet we search on
Where there were once fields
Where plants and flowers grew
Is now a desolate barren land
Where only death is at home
Every breath is like winds of Sulphur
Eyes filled with tears of acid
Burning skies are falling down
And decay is our forever future
We had it all, riches and power
Yet it’s gone far from our grasp
With no one to blame but us
Under the wings of solitude

A Spectral Display
03:59
|
|||
|
The sound of the sea
A long-lost path returning
Embracing the howl of the winds
Carrying whispers of eternal cries
Under a moonlit sky
Where the dead and decaying
Dances to the beat of doom
A rain of stars as the universe dies
Unfolding a theatre unseen
Swallowed by the overwhelming weight
The seasons becomes one
A sunless future is on the horizon
Far behind us is the world
The one we abandon so long ago
Deaf to the screams of history
At the bottom we face our destiny
Illusions of a spectral display
Hidden from our reality
Pushed it all deep inside
Never to be found again
Where the mountains crash into the sea
Joining us in the deep darkness
Worlds imploding a creation of man
Left in dust and rubble
When all crowns have been dethroned
And all halls crushed into pieces
Can we finally see the errors of our mistakes
And finally accept the painful truth
Illusions of a spectral display
Hidden from our reality
Pushed it all deep inside
Never to be found again

Cold Shadow
04:38
|
|||
|
Never forget, you'll always be alone in the end
Walking your own path, building strength
Where nothing is worth saving
After everything time has thrown at you
Because you know there was never a chance
To overcome this overwhelming pain
In the distance you can hear the whisper of past
While set onwards to an uncertain future
Raise the sail made of lost hopes and dreams
Brought forth on harsh screams of truths
Ones that was so hard to hide
From times you want to suppress
If you were to die tomorrow nothing is lost
Regardless of all that you have learnt
You are still sleeping in a world that woke
Free yourself before you disappear
Memories that cuts like knifes
Sharper than the butcher’s knife
Shadows colder than the darkest moon
Sickened by the marrow of a dying world
As bones turns into dust
The circle has reached completion
As flesh becomes dirt
A horn is blown marking the end

i saw a movie with a crazy creature coming out of the ocean like this, but, instead of a lighthouse illuminating it, people were throwing matches and yelling obscenities. It seemed to have the same effect - none
