Epic Fail 04:53
lyrics

This is the hour of revelation The endorphine is rising This is Euphoria An anthem for Utopia This is us ascending Bound to fall again At the end of the day Between invocations And instincts profane We cross ourselves in shame in epic fail This is the hour of revoking The juggernaut is rising This is our web of lies In garments of filth the naked truth is disguised This is us us afraid to recognize ourselves At the end of the day Between invocations And instincts profane We cross ourselves in shame in epic fail Craving Like a chosen race praying Immortal reborn Raging Like sullen children waging struggling stubborn At the end of the day Between invocations And instincts profane We cross ourselves in shame in epic fail At the end of the day United by instincts we bow in decay When zero turns one the trigger will come

Rain of Shards 06:13
lyrics

The strain has come at last Revealed in water so pure with every drop like razors The burden will dissolve In awe I stand The air I drink Vanguards of clouds Caressing the ground Though indifference I seek Hatred is charming me To taste damnation's kiss this night To soar over pain and affliction And the long lost silence within my mind In the water's surge I await the dawn If tomorrow is lost, let this be the day To feel the ecstasy once again I cast my face towards the rain Court to the flame Spoil to the grain Vanguards of clouds Caressing the ground Evaporated memories rewind Dashing on the ground as to remind What yesterday forgot, tomorrow will recall Once and for all As the sense of reality fades away My soul becomes one with the rain Its shards grazing me like Solemn hatred washing me free from memories

Goddess in Dust 04:41
lyrics

The wings start to tremble The ripping inside The wages of treason not fading Nor paying shelter for the gods She hangs her head in agony In a veil of shame she hides All her creatures once marvelling Now abandoned her grace In the tunnels she flooded Now she found her grave The warmth that she gave Now burning our eyes And the song she intoned Now sings itself Away her breath is dying A goddess in dust My eyes so pale enshrining The goddess in dust She hangs her head in agony In a veil of shame she hides She shrives her sins so deathlessly Mortality is nigh No icon adorned by the charm of her eyes Forgotten is her fraud and her lies The hand that she filled Carved a tombstone of gold And the tongues that enthroned her Breed verdict on her soul Away her breath is dying A goddess in dust My eyes so pale enshrining The goddess in dust A ghost light now is dying A goddess in dust Eternity denying The goddess in dust Abandoned by the masses Far away from heresy The queen of solace still lives on Her words so adulating still enthroned in the hearts of her disciples yearning for comfort And as the dead bury the dead They still gather her remnants Digging in the cursed ground Of this cemetery divine In an attempt to revive her Driven by remorse In their last breath they joined the funeral of a fallen deity

Gallows Tree Thy Name 06:03
lyrics

Woken from a shallow sleep Woken by remorse A body like a shell so pale swallowed all my thoughts My memories so numb in vain Displace this guilt and shame A blurry void inside my head Cannot deny My conscience calls Again I try Repeating to deny This is not me but some devious dream Again these signs I can't combine Still I'm accused by your eyes as you die Paralyzed by tongues of fear Your words they burn inside of me The disgusting demons of my works Claiming me possessing me Left within this sin alone The moment of obsession is gone My heart it bears this burden Like the weight of stones The gallow's call Again I try Repeating to deny This is not me but some devious dream Again these signs I can't combine Still I'm accused by your eyes as you die "For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation The mourning of the world worketh death" The knot is tightened The traitor's frightened Again I try Repeating to deny This is not me be but some devious dream Again these signs I can't combine Still I'm accused by your eyes as you die My words betrayed this kiss of fate Left nothing but one resolve Thus consequent This bitter end.

Ghost Light Dawn 08:40
lyrics

The loom gales of eternity Like fallen angels guiding me In absence of humanity Returning to its purity Crushed by the waves of density The effort of humanity The air conceives a breathing fear The only sound I hear in this serenity Salvation is in sight Desolation is in sight Radiation is in sight The trees are glowing red this night What anguish to drown In this reckless poison That spares our lungs from water But scourges is its death in our eyes I am the night to remember (You pay a life to forget) I am the tree of knowledge I am grief, the salt in the tears you shed Gone is the scourge divine Hail the monster we created Radiation crowned humanity Reward us death by Karachay How they wish they could end what they began What with bloody hands they planned This earth fulfils until the end Behold these clouds are shaped with evil grin Because we all did share their sin And their conspiricy within I am the saviour enchanted The poisoned gold your hands will grasp I am curruption on the formless void For all that man creates will be destroyed

Ruined 05:26
lyrics

This is hell This is betrayal breath is trembling the body relieved death conceived after lust received Repentance dies as eyelids close waiting for the final stroke The face I meet in search for trust beholding me with a traitor's eyes The lips I feel upon my cheek proclaiming all the traitor's lies Repeat the lies I wish to hear All the fraud I refused to fear And while you feast upon this well of sin Still I embrace This faith is dead This is pain This is refrain Eyes refuse to turn their gaze Forced to endure within this daze Sophism reigns behold: the man Ashes to ashes, flesh to flesh Our hands into this bowl they sink This chalice now is yours to drink A toast to this iniquity ruined by your own decree Repeat the lies I wish to hear All the fraud I refused to fear And while you're caught in this veil of sin Still I embrace This faith is dead I roamed this fields in search for you To find a wreck of shame and emptiness Like a waste of broken dreams Dangling in the glowing autumn sun Repeat the lies I wish to hear All the fraud I refused to fear And while you're caught in this veil of sin I will refrain Rebuke the lies I wish to hear All the fraud depart from me And while you feast upon this rope of sin I will refrain "The mourning of the world worketh death"

Flames Leap High 06:55
lyrics
buy track
The flames of grief now meet their enemy And so does the pain at last remembered as relics of trumpery consumed by vanity Let it pass The mystery of faith disguised in clothe of despair Angst in the eye of the saint the hard-earned soul is at stake Begging at the gates of sanity The sickness unto death to receive Pondering inside of me As the flames leap high instead of tears to cry The coming light I see Will this effort and rage inside calm now in this final hour? Will this crown of thorns I wear Turn out to be refuge or misery Begging at the gates of sanity The sickness unto death to receive All I am – all I want Vanity All I hope – all I fear Vanity All I curse – all I bless Vanity All I speak – all I hush All I know – all I doubt Vanity All I sow – all I reap Vanity All I pass – all I fail Vanity All I gain All I lose Compared to you
