Resurrection of the Sun
05:32
|
|||
|
By streams that never find the sea
the road goes ever on and on
We flooded it
We’re never going home
The wind recites all your fears,
surrounding a cage made of air
Forever inconsistent,
furiously shaking the fences
that protect sweet dreams
It takes a pirate and a poet to conquer the world
It takes the courage to sail and words that break through the storm
Bring back the lights to the hollow eyes,
resurrect the sun, burn the starless sky
Somewhere between bed and bottle
a rotten piece of denial forgotten
Swallowed by the waves
are the foundations in the sand,
carried towards the verge
of uncertainty
And I do not want to die
nor live for something I cannot believe in
Fluctuating hopes
come with changing tides
Words are inventions, so we can lie
Love is an invention, hard to untie
Rules are inventions, and we comply
Words are intentions and we are free
Love is an intention, not destiny
Our wills and intentions make us who we want to be
Don’t make me chose
There’s nothing left to lose
Don’t make me chose
The sun stopped burning years ago,
yet we pretend that we can see the sky
Whom do we tell lies?
It takes a pirate and a poet to conquer the world
It takes the courage to sail and words that break through the storm
Stars will turn into stone
but I refuse to disappear
No

Burning Flesh
06:32
|
|||
|
Taste the smell of burning flesh
show your dominance
in the most brutal ways
They died for nothing
just because you wanted to show your strength
Your god is your excuse to kill people
You judge them by the rules of your religion
An extremist’s view
the interpretation of ancient writings
In the name of a god or a prophet
you destroy lives
and show your revenge
for deeds other fanatics did to you
Leaders corrupt the wise words
spread by religious writings
to gain power, leadership
and fulfil their dreams
Careless about how many
lives they’ll destroy
and the misery they’ll bring
to the world and their people
God has sent us
to spread his holy words
to infect all the world’s people
with our beliefs
From words to paper
From paper to truth
You play the game
yet no one wins
The rules were burnt
with their defenders and victims
A pointless point of view
of invisible heavens
The ink is stained in blood,
not to be deciphered within your kingdom
You wash your hands
in the innocence of someone else

Orchestra of Death
06:53
|
|||
|
Obliterate all opposing forces
Annihilate enemies of your plans to rule the lands
Seize control
Threaten your foes with war and fire
Lead your legions
Conduct your orchestra of death
Command your armies
Let them perform your dammed symphonies
Release your demons onto this world
Spread your madness
Poison this realm
Bring darkness to these lands
Let us fall into the endless void of decay
Obliterate all opposing forces
Annihilate enemies of your plans to rule the lands
Dictate the way
Fight foes and slay all in your path
Spread your disease
Push our world over the edge and let it fall
into the void where nothing dwells but death
Fight your wars, commit your crimes
Death to all your enemies
Kill all filth, purge the world
Clean the world
Remove all the dirt from it's surface
Show the world your hideous truth
Drown us all in fire
Obliterate all opposing forces
Annihilate enemies of your plans to rule the lands
Seize control
Threaten your foes with war and fire
Lead your legions
Conduct your orchestra of death

Holy Downfall
04:37
|
|||
|
Sacrifice yourselves in order to kill and destroy
You're blinded by the words
of a divine hypocrite
Create a world where nothing dwells but hate and death
Destroy it all to serve a hideous divinity
Fight in god’s name
Force our world to decay
Fight for your divine phantom
Show the world his might
Claim the lands that were promised
and reign in his righteous ways
Fight in god’s name
Force our world to decay
Fight the knowledge we have acquired
to lead fools to their godly purposes
Destroy all that we have achieved
Bring an end to peace and harmony
Hide yourself behind your dogma
and the idea of a pure world
Swipe it clean
Burn it down
Fight your own creation,
your holy downfall
Fight in god’s name
Force our world to decay
Fight the knowledge we have acquired
to lead fools to their godly purposes
Destroy all that we have achieved
Bring an end to peace and harmony

One-Dimensional Sight
07:31
|
|||
|
Expanding hate
Create an abyss to protect yourselves from otherness
and lose yourself in passive aggression
Split the World in different sections
Nations, races and beliefs
We are the chosen ones
Close your minds
Shut everything different out
Save yourselves from external influences
What gives us the Permission to judge
others like we judge ourselves
What makes us think
that our beliefs are superior to others
Chosen nations and worthless races
sharing the same world
Hide your fears behind a wall of hatred
unleash it with pride
in a monumental act of destruction
What gives us the Permission to judge
others like we judge ourselves
What makes us think
that our beliefs are superior to others
You won’t ever feel you won’t ever see the truth
You won’t ever see you won’t ever feel empathy
You won’t ever feel you won’t ever see peace
you’re poisoned by fear and ignorance
All achievements of mankind
were made in order to kill
So many great ideas
wasted for murdering
Can’t we work together
to achieve more
Why should we have the right to judge others
Especially when we can't live by our own laws
We are caught in a gigantic game
with the only goal to destroy others
What gives us the Permission to judge
others like we judge ourselves
What makes us think
that our beliefs are superior to others
You have no chance to
find the truth with your closed minds
You are lost and corrupted by your
One-Dimensional Sight
What gives us the Permission to judge
others like we judge ourselves
What makes us think
that our beliefs are superior to others
Other cultures, different laws
How dare we all define ourselves
as the only right ones

Icefall
05:18
|
|||
|
Everlasting, never shaking,
awe-inspiring mountain peak
Rise above all worldly matters,
ever stoic never speaks
I'm drawn to you, I can't be lost
Your voiceless call raises me from the dust
And yet you are so cold,
winter dwells within your heart
Covered it in glacier ice,
frozen since Ypresium
You've seen carline thistles die
in the nights of raging storms
And I'm holding to the crest
until the cold will bring me down
I'm drawn to you, I can't be lost
Your voiceless call raises me from the dust
And yet you are so cold,
winter dwells within your heart
Covered it in glacier ice,
frozen since Ypresium
And yet you are so cold,
fields of snow are blinding my eyes
Pierce my lungs with icicles,
bury me beneath moraines
I can feel the ice is melting under my breath
Rocks are shaking beneath my feet
If you want me to I can let go, let myself fall, silence my call,
be an avalanche
Yet you are so cold,
winter dwells within your heart
Covered it in glacier ice,
frozen since Ypresium
Now I have to go
I tried to plant spring inside your heart
Covered it in azaleas,
they died in Calabrian
I'm a part of avalanches
I let go before I'm frozen
I can't be like you

Murder the Immortal
06:00
|
|||
|
We are still wasting the sand that falls with us
Dum loquitur fugerit invidia ætas
Falling, falling through the presence in a glass
we held on to the memories of the past
we will reach for future illusions, chase phantoms
yet why are we so tense, we ask
Chase us through the dying decades
consider that you're ruled by two or three hands
you must spend what you get right away
no one can set hours or minutes aside
good enough or not, you are done when you die
The teeth of the lasting fugitive chew on the mortar of years
Devour its offspring, build and tear down bridges of opportunities
Circling closer towards Saturn
consider that you're ruled by two or three hands
you must spend what you get right away
no one can set hours or minutes aside
good enough or not, you are done when you die
Falling as the plot unfolds towards the end and past
life’s excruciatingly slow, but death comes terribly fast
circling with the hands of Saturn on a face of glass
hands that will not hold and a face that will not last
Evade the certain nightfall until it comes again
Stop the everlasting cycle of mayhem and dismay
Dum loquitur fugerit invida ætas
Dragging thousands to the dreaded realm of unknown nights
The thing all things devours and beats high mountains down
Sed fugit interea, fugit tempus irreparabile, dum capti circumvectamur
Dragging thousands to the dreaded realm of unknown nights
the thing all things devours and beats high mountains down
stop the everlasting cycle of mayhem and dismay
How can we hide from the stars and moon that trace the maps of destiny
How can we stop the racing sun that enlightens the end of you and me
Circling closer towards Saturn
consider that you're ruled by two or three hands
you must spend what you get right away
no one can set hours or minutes aside
good enough or not, you are done when you die
Sed fugit interea, fugit tempus irreparabile, dum capti circumvectamur
Who brings an end to consciousness distorts the worth of life
we murder the Immortal
we break the wheels of time

Midsummernight's Scream
10:32
|
|||
|
Choose a role, make up a script
You might not be the protagonist
We were hired to paint the scenery
Turns out we’re cast for misery
We’re trapped on stage, anticipate
Midsummernight’s Scream
Where do we stand in your esteem
And the hero’s final station is on-stage cremation
Bury us with our masks on
We play as you like it, from glory to gore
Dreamlike and dreadful, abhor – adore
Plot twist, we’re the pessimists
The fourth wall’s down, we’re antagonists
Write, live, and lie are intertwined
Midsummernight’s Scream
Where do we stand in your esteem
We are contemplating and complaining
while discussing the disgusting side effects of identity,
the most lamentable comedy
Evacuate the audience
the construction stands in flames,
the chandelier comes crashing down
onto dyed wigs and sweeping gowns
This is not real, if we deny,
what’s not in the screenplay is a lie
Increase the volume of entropy,
it’s entertainment industry
We are the playwrights, dancers and fools
We are murderers, victims and tools
The distortions of ours consume
our truth with paint and costume
You participate by being present
Why are you still here, do you find it pleasant
Turn forth melancholy to funerals
No excuse needed, the last wall is down
Words are catalysts for catastrophy,
payed with lives and sold for poetry
On with the crowns and off the heads
From deadly serious to seriously dead
Turn forth melancholy to funerals
You watch the eyeless while turning blind
Oh keep on your disguise
And we keep playing our lives
Playing with our lives
