- 4. The Burning
4. The Burning
Breathing, breathing
This morning still shadows the night
Hiding, hiding so long behind the mask of the lies
From depths of the fire this water was born
- A Day To Depart
This voice, it spake
Tempted me to keep awake
Thus I realized
When there is no truth, there are no lies
You're here, so sincere
To fathom the deepest fear
Misguide, this life
Away from truth, away from its line
- All Veiled
All veiled in same silence
All wonders in same equation
Forever disequilibrium holds
The pulse of our existence will fade
Illusions over matter and mind
A dream is a dream, no more
Straight lines and circles of time
- Bleakest Essence
Seek the truth from my eyes
Can you see into the depths of my soul?
Can you see the eternal sin?
The morning embracing the sunset
Hold your tears in my heart
Lay my arms enchanted tonight
Enslave your dreams to seek
- Burden Of Solacement
The sun draws a line, how scathing, divine
Yet under cold grief I shiver like a leaf in October gale
My skin turns so pale and feels burning sore
It happens once more
Release me from this guilt
Set me free out of this hell
- Everlasting Ward
A real of the dark hemisphere
They signed us here for life
Enchained us, tore away our pride
No will to resist, no will to exist
Experimenting with these newly born
A little game with the insane
Rolling back the time for centuries
- Fire And Water
Earth bound to fire
Fire bound to earth
Matter and substance forlorn in mortal word
I am immortal, I am the one
I am the soul in reign
I am the one enslaved beyond decay
Life turned to death
- Handful Of Dust
I wished for a simple faith,
You gave me devotion
I took you to the edge of world
You only ask for more as we
Soaked in the autumn rain
Froze in the lap of snow
Suffered through the April's cruelty
Blinded by the fury of the sun
- Innate 13
At times my empty and tangled eyes betray
To believe this I need more than mere faith
In this cold and desolate ward of mind
Intoxicated truth I bear inside
At times this shattered being is lost
For it all is gone I've sharpened the blade in my dreams
- Marionettes
Truth in redemption's pyre
Scorched out, no longer in life
Awaiting these souls on fire
In life, there's no brighter side
Once hateful as all its slaves
More fertile than its enemies
Impossible to control
- Misanthropolis
One city in the center of the universe
Gates closed down, all shut down
One city in the center of the universe
The emptiest place ever
There is no room for the righteous
There is no room for man
Veiled inside a dark curtain of insanity
- Monument Of Pain
Since the beginning we have stumbled in scattered ashes
Since the beginning we have buried justice in mass graves
Lest we forget the past
Build once more a sinister monument of pain
Lest we forget
Build once more this sinister monument of pain
- Prey Of The Tempter
Woes of mankind, too dark to desire
Breathe the fumes of death and decay
It all depends on when everything ends
Enter this place
Enter disgrace
Enter this void, this forgotten soil
No one will ever leave
- Retrospection
On threshold of madness in self denial state
Within a holocause, with unlimited rage
A major plan about everything as one
A sad amendment for something long gone
On throne of sickness in self deluded state
The walls are built for the one wasted away
A major need to apply another sore
- Slain Memories
He came by the shore
From dark, so sick so frail
In gloom of his eyes
The fear he couldn't restrain
I'll try to capture the feeling
I'm feeling inside
I won't hide it
- Sleep
Whatever place called home
Is a dwelling of those
Since the dawning of the ages
Burned in one soul, the wisdom untold
Of the concept of reality
That slowly fades away into dark
- The Dream and the Escape
My heart devours the emptiness
This lonely need from deep within
To breach through these decadent dreams
My heart yearns for a step astray
For an escape, perfect deceive
To break through these elegant needs
I am crawling before thy grace
- The End Of The Century
I take a deep dive
Plunge into downward spiral
I am after virtue
Once again, after virtue still alive
Shades of existence
can't quench my thirst, my burning thirst
The Worst pain will never,
- The Great Anonymous Doom
I've waited for this night in shame
They say, it's the grace
Of the great anonymous doom
Don't help me, I'm not falling yet
For woe, I won't forego
The moment of great anonymous doom
Still awake, it may take all day
- Triumph and Loss
Putrid and foul
Gone and wasted inside out
Putrid and foul
Gone and wasted
This is an apocryphon
Concealed inside me
- Unlit
When the reeky dreams break
And lead to final condemnation
When the time left behind
quickens this wicked moment
You lay as weak as a feather
under the heel of the time
Beyond the grasp of a mortal man
