- A Serpents Tongue
Through compulsion
Deceptive thoughts escape
Revealing a leech within
All blood replaced
Archaic Ancestry
Consuming the mind
Shape shifting
Hallowed guise
- Absent
I caught a glimpse in the corner of my eye
I think I knew what I would find
But there’s something else at play
And everything at stake
And so the river’s calling me away
I’m no saint
I’ve no virtue
- After Lifeless Years
The truth became so clear to you, and so your faith has died
Now see what waits for you on the other side
A morbid sea of deepest black, a distant ever burning flame
With nowhere else to turn, we wander alone...forever alone
Forsaken by the God you loved, and now your love has died
No miracle will shine its light on you
So easily directed, your thoughts remain your only guide
Know you will see no truth beneath this cloak of lies
- Altered States Of Consciousness
All control is lost
Senses deprived
Deaf ears still hear the malign
The altars crumbling
Cloak of obscurity
A crown wrapped tight around you neck
Gaunt hands to hold you back
I've seen the world in a new light
- Apparitions
How quick the seasons change
The leaves turned from green to grey
A flickering Apparition hovers above
So familiar
Yet so distant
Preserved in age
Icey hands support a somber face
- Awakening
Tunnels of light capture symbols in the stone*
Out of touch and weak
Return this scourge to it's seed
Held in life's quicksand
Emptiness defined
By the blaze ignite
Embody the light
Infinite fires burn through mortal skin and bone
- Callous Souls
Taste the blood and spit
Out the clots
Lick your lips as the world
Begins to rot
And it‘s a fading world
That I want no input or part of
Our own reflections are
Sickening sights
- Conclusion of an age
Atrocities before our eyes
This crumbling world now lies gasping for air
And is sickens me to think we will not grow old and die
Before we face extinction... human demise
As we face the end of days... as the lifeline drifts away
We're left to face impending immense decay
The strength of oceans, the blinding light
The cosmic forces revealing their might
- Dystopia
A wave of light
Tears through the eye
As the taste of bitter destruction
Swells the tongue
Baron Earth
Swen with seeds of wrath
Engulfed in tragedy
By purveyors of corruption and greed
- Eclipsed
Shrouded in darkness
It has formed a wreath around you
Wisdom comes through exile
And through this alone
Moon's lapse
Escape the trance
Your throne grows cold
The day breaks into,
- Eye for An Eye
Words cut like jagged shards
And your house of glass is falling apart
You preach love but don’t give it
Teach hate but don’t see it
If there’s nothing above
Then there’s nothing beneath
But a fraud has to cut their teeth
- From The Edge Of The Earth
Falling ground beneath my feet
Pulling my heart through my ribs
Head hung low
Dragged through the soil
No one to carry me on through the storm
Through time reborn,
I'll become the blood of the Earth
A voice unheard
- Harm
Endure the paths unaligned
Idle hands create idols
And shrines
The devil makes use of those
Who squander their time
Keep your enemies close
- Heavy Is The Crown
So who’s left standing?
Failed icons feeble and abandoned
Deities that stood so tall
No longer looking down of us all
Such a fall from grace
Now lying in ruin
Completely disgraced
- Immovable Stone
You cannot break what inures with time
And unyielding will of iron
Each fracture strengthening bone
Stood firm like an immoveable stone
You’re digging deep so be careful where you tread
Stand by your words or lose your footing once again
Some will wither
Some will remain
- Judas
We circle the void
Waiting for a saviour
A light in the dark amidst our despair
A feeble fraud
With open arms we endure
The hand of god never felt so impure
Judas
- Kingdom Of Solitude
I am your keeper
And this wall will protect
Will all great at Neptune's ocean wash the blood from my hands
Transformed and tiresome
A ghostly vision of what life used to be
Dead eyes stare aimlessly
At what's beyond
- Last Remaining Light
We wander in the maze of a thousand lost creations
Feel the streams of the coming failure and gaze upon the sky
And how did it come to this...lack of perception? Or just plain ignorance
Forging fires spreading fear into the wild,
The scorched earth will be the womb of bastard child
And the earth will devastate man to the core
The day the legacy of human is no more
Nightmares begin to surface and crash upon the walls
- Leech
Acid slaver burns through bone
dissected and reanimated
lips are sewn
stitched to mute the outcome
block the exit wounds
See through the face of degradation
beyond what hides on the surface
- Monolith
Tired eyes
Shocked into a daze
The monolith rose from the ground
And the sky was red
Like the soil in my grave
The earth shook with the tides
And caused storms through endless seas
Tell the gods to gather their clouds
- Procession
Crimson hands cursed and bound
Silence broken as the world comes crashing down
All that lives expires
Yet so untimely
Lord dethroned
My brother betrayer
Ripping wounds revealed
Harbinger of doom
- Reflections through fire
I begin descent into a world ...to another domain
Where the anguished screams and fires will fill the air
And the burning stench of sulphur asphyxiates
Where nothing is for certain, where no-one can be safe
Forced Into Fire
Struck down as I prepare to take this final step
May my reflection fade as I wash away what is left of this life
To endure is all I can attempt
- Stained Humanity
War will reign supreme
With the iron fist prevailing, destroying dreams of peace
And innocence will suffer all in the name of wealth
Transform this world of ours into a living hell
Rivers of blood will wash away hope of a better life
The stained humanity
And the child with the vision in this mind makes a transformation to a martyr
Opportunities have passed him by the fight to bring his nation power
- Swallow the world
Inside I Pray for sleep that never comes
How long before this night is over? It swallows me whole...
I've reached the end, with no solution
So easy to forget hope inside of me
I've lost control of all in my destiny
And to fail and falter shall be the death of me
Search far and wide for a spark of inspiration
So long I stared into the blackness and swallowed the world
- The Blackest Skyline
Hordes thrown into chaos with nowhere to be safe
You'll push aside your fellow man in hope of your escape
There is no light to see beyond the blackest skyline
First the sound approaches, then the lightning strikes
Lie to yourself to mask the fears of the unknown
Punish yourself until you've nowhere to call home
Ans somewhere inside lies a shadow of the creature you hide
The end is now progress, a fatal last mistake
- The Fate of Vultures
You lie with every inch of your skin
And stumble on a road that you've been treading for so long
I pity your perfection, but still
Was it ever going anyway but hideously wrong
Your perception of what matters is just so distorted
Years of lying to yourself has left you easy prey
Your inflictions upon those who matter most to you
- Thorns
A solitary scratch
From mortal coil into ash
A poison tip straight through my chest
From where your demons rest
Trust fell by the wayside
Venom seeping in my skin
In my reflection there’s emptiness
- What Dwells Within
Biding Time
For what as felt like centuries
Dead ends in front of me
The sting of reality strikes down
And still you keep it in
The weakness you hide
- Withered
Every dream is now on and the same...inspiration remains just a memory
Such a tragedy to see the day when every blessing seems to go to waste
So when did we think that the world owes us any more than we deserve?
Sickening to see us lose our way, drifting down a road of endless pain
When promise has withered inside
There is no future, no better life for mankind
Where's the truth when we've nothing to say? Push it all aside, find a better way
Such a tragedy to see the day when every blessing seems to go to waste
