The Thing

I came from endless dark to pave my path
In circles through the desert and to sow seeds of death.
Heaven's embers were flowing,
The rivers were drained, grayish-green lights were showing,
The Earth was suffocating, a thing rose up from the abyss at its leave-taking.
It took the hectic spirits of those who died that night
To pure oblivion,
They were fed lies
And locked inside.
There was not a soul,
Just piles of dead men around,
And weird breathing that felt in the air.
I was to follow them all
But first, end my mission - burying them in the ground.
I'll see no sunrise, these everdark skies
Will reign for all times.
This creepy creature took over the dry empty lands, it will hover
Above the world wonders' black ashes and wickedly laugh with new flashes,
So hurry to say goodbye.
Cancel the curse, there is a way to unlimited sweet bliss,
Once blue planet Earth will quietly slumber in long-wanted peace.

Ghost City

In this place
The sun's awake for just few days,
To light the petrified cold grace,
Of this hazy city.
A ghost is walking
Along the streets, emerging from the mist
Of white nights; all the days are mostly black or gray,
Rains don't cease, the sky keeps on crying
But can't wash away
Dirty scarlet stains.
There's a scar of a long jading war
When the sky
And earth tore open
On a fatal day,
Demons roared,
The bronze horseman froze in dismay,
Demons rose
From the swamp and came to reign.
It was the true hell,
Ghost city, founded on bones,
Was starving and shelled,
Blood marked all the stones,
And every life that was saved
Had its terrific price,
The truly brave
Could even pay it twice.
Like those random strangers
Who rescued someone when they could, with no renown,
Not wanting rewards, making no demands,
Those who faced all the dangers
When they lived among death, their spirit was not down,
They fought demons with half-broken hands.
Souls of people
Will be cruelly taken
By a ravenous snake,
In our lifetime
It will be awaken,
And the stone world will shake.
The dungeon's gate
Will open again,
This land will be storm-wrecked and tortured,
The servants of Satan will break iron chains,
Once, when the gray sky gets black,
They'll take bloody weapons and suddenly come back,
But we will be ready,
We will withstand!

Desert (feat. Ardentis)

My thin shady trail
Was all embraced by cold fear (cold fear),
Shards of light got misty pale,
Sanity's echo disappeared.
The stars' last flare
Blew up the skyline,
Poison filled the air (the air),
Tears of sadness turned to sweet wine.
Fake silence got so damn loud,
Driving me mad (so mad),
When I almost passed out
Among the dead.
I kept walking
Fatigued and blind,
Demons' talking
Messed up my mind.
I stepped off the edge and flew
Down a boundless ravine where I found you.
I could change paradise,
A dreamworld where I would dwell,
For the land under ice,
For long ages with you in hell.
In my last memory
You would hold me and look at me.
In a blink it would be erased,
As you'd forgotten my true face.
We're trapped in a desert, eternally tied,
We're trapped in a desert, it is the end of our time.
We're trapped in a desert, frozen and blank inside.

Chaos (feat. Ardentis)
02:55

All my anger is burning so bright,
There's no way back
Once my soul is wrecked.
Take a look inside,
It's black,
Jaded and sore,
There's rage, nothing more.
My own light is the darkness,
It's reborn in a flame,
It became
Almost free,
It will thrive, flying on the wings of chaos,
Shining in the gloomy skies,
Coming in another new guise.
I'm your pain,
I'm your wicked fate,
Fire's in my veins,
You should be afraid.
On this night
Bursting sparks will glow,
Their eternal light
Will not cease to flow.
My light
Will not fade away,
In chaos
It will grow each day.
My might
Will not fade away,
In chaos
It will grow each day.

Way to the Boundless
03:47
|
|||
|
The last chains burn in flames,
We're beyond gravitation,
We've gone far, seeking white stars,
But we're trapped inside this heavy dark.
Deep in this hole
We will feel hollow,
And lonely we'll remain.
This ether dome
Will be our home
Under the cold rain of time.
My thoughts are all drained and messed,
Sounds fade and eternal rest
Lies in these feeble strings, luring people
To where their heartbeat ends,
But their journey's on,
It's a way to the boundless dark unknown,
It's damned.

Trapped (feat. Ardentis)

It's your turn for a walk with me,
Close your eyes, hear me and see
This new dark world where you'll stay,
You must obey.
I'll be a guide
To your soul's last abode,
And you'll be locked inside.
Live a lie,
Be a lie,
Life is death, day is night in deep sleep.
Lose heart and go down,
You have no arms, accept your fate,
Humbly watch your ego drown
In wild pain, there is no aid.
Hey, you still retain some power of your mind,
So that mine is well-refined,
All your shatters fit into the puzzle in my brain,
And it's where they will remain.
I'll show you where you belong,
You are the slave of my voice,
Shouting loud in your head,
You have no freedom of choice,
So wait in dread.
If there's the light,
Run from its every spark,
You have one right -
Life in the dark.
You are a ghost
In a man's shell,
You are the ghost
Of your earlier self.

In Search of Light
04:01

Shining blue,
Stars give way to the waking dawn,
Now the storm will not rage anew.
My long lonely journey's about to go on,
Where is the home that I'd love to belong?
There are no paths and no signs,
There's no way back, and I stride,
Only the wind is my guide.
I don't know
Why I follow the voice from far,
Where my peace and my passion are,
I don't know why I chose this way,
City lights beckon me to stay,
But I'm off, and no one can find me,
Changing pictures keep floating behind me,
I am destined to wander astray,
I'm nowhere.
I'm ever searching, ever walking around
The wilds of my own thoughts, but they have no bounds.
I pick up the shatters
Of newly found hope,
But I break them.
My traces are scattered,
My breath has got colder,
With feet madly aching,
I'm getting much closer
To my new goal,
It is a slow
Way with no end.

A thousand
Obsidian(Infernal)wings
Soars into the black
Frozen night.
Hellish screech
Rips the soul
Apart.
They lick stars
Destined to fade.
Reel in the skies cut through,
Before the dawn comes,
Vanish slowly in the blue
(In the blue).
As a phantom.
I watched the world
crashing down,
The ships getting ice-bound.
Saw those came to enjoy
Devil’s feast
And the deathly dance.
It’s we who run
This desert realm
Once again.
We’re wind,
We hover
Keeping past in hearts.
We are one.
And the sun blew up
Making us awake
From sleep.
It’s Samsara wheel.
It will fill
This gap with
New lives.
And the sun blew up
Making us awake
From sleep.
Samsara wheel
It will fill
This gap with
New lives.
