Have you wept the tears of the night?
And traced furrows to the edge of light?
From the voice of the fog in your flesh,
A million crows shall convulse and thresh
Through a vomiting rejected sky,
Cling to a dead angel's feathers,
Shielded by tattered remnants,
From the scream of a gathering storm
Within your tenuous skin,
The road to judgement grows
Yet entombed in a cloudless sky,
No sun gleams to light the way
Have you heard the echo of a soul's heartbeat?
Have the cracks in the Earth met your feet?
In hallowed depths of a kingdom's mirth
A star-dialouge like virgin birth
Your blackest urge arisen undead,
Choirs of daggers bless a heart to be bled
From cracks in your crippled tongue,
A gateway within is sealed
The echoes resound in empty halls,
As shadows that lead the way
Majestic dusk marks thy skin,
A lightway embraced through sin,
A beckon from the barrow,
From the tattered earth's marrow
Like stars embracing death,
After the noose draws you of breath,
Let blankets of dirt mirror your worth
As you drown in rotting shallow Earth

In Crypts Of Holiness
03:23
|
|||
Behold, the crown of withered majesty,
A coronation for a dishonored dominion
This sacrament to serve infernal shadow,
In the name of a disgraced savior
Brandish the crux, symbol of deception,
The sigil of a broken, banished holy spirit
Praise of the obscure, in crypts of holiness,
Adoration for the dead, sworn to the obscene
Black vast shadows tower above;
Still dead across pallid snowscapes;
Where frost devoured flesh;
Life flows like sand through it's hands
As the shadows merge and twist,
Like curses cast upon twilight,
Wailing prayers ascend to sorrow,
And the frozen effigy shatters
Who ever told you,
That only the living feel hate?
Here, in the presence of the holy one,
Shades caress the saviour's mortal wounds.
Yet when ancestral howling shadows call forth,
Our burning hearts behold the ancient eclipse

Wounds Devour You
03:29
|
|||
When the fleeting hour comes
I resign myself to dark,
And embrace decayed dreams,
Their whispers lull me to sleep
The burden in my silent eyes,
A storm which no sun could break,
But the scars are oh so warm,
How I yearn for their embrace
Arcane Eden fell silent,
A speck of dusk descending,
Consumed by an inner void,
As tears fall to the ground
Open your heart to winter,
Cherish it's searing chill,
And within the cold caress,
Catch a glimpse of heaven
To erect a crippled effigy,
To await my cascade,
Are the secrets I've severed,
And buried six feet inside
For my soul aflame,
Is burdened by perfection,
As I cast sorrow away,
Into a nameless, weeping sea
In shades of light - banished,
A voice within - screaming,
In shallow earth - buried,
Will to reflect - searing
Burdened to seek an obscure truth,
Through the fading footsteps,
A pathway to perpetual dawn,
Where no shadows blackens the sun
Here, in the absence of choice,
I dream another chance to fail
|

Artificial Abyss
02:59
|
|||
In your weeping carnal slumber,
I fed your fleeting flesh with fire,
And spoke in the tongues of god,
For you to join the sun
A distant symphony screams,
Against salvation a dagger gleams,
It's dead silence reflected,
In my bleeding dread-raped eyes
A red flowing river streams,
From the gaping void in your flesh
A cavern composed from violated tissue
And as I gaze into it's depths,
It stares back into mine,
The void stares back into me
Born in death beneath the fire,
The silence calls me with desire,
A symphony upon doom's lyre
I stare blindly at the twisting blade,
As life itself begins to fade,
No honor left to be portrayed
Black devours a setting sun,
Earth and sky become as one,
To fall beneath and life is done
Forlorn from a sterile Earth,
Humanity's dream is but stillbirth,
The threnody of life's worth

Embrace Perfection
04:10
|
|||
Behold, existence
For we strive for liberation,
And reach out in defiance,
To embrace perfection
In reverence bestowed,
This crown of gloaming stars,
A coronation blessed,
In shadowless halls
The dreaming prophet speaks,
Forsaken flesh decays,
Exalted with their gaze,
Premonitions yet ‘divine’
The silent stare awe-struck,
Ravished and torn away,
Await the glorious,
To open all hearts and minds
Told once by the shrewd,
Cling to a furtive faith,
For tommorrow's dawn,
Draws closer with each breath
Dreams unfold the sky,
For the old ones will die,
Dreams unfold the rain,
For we wrought the pain,
They say the leaves danced,
(As if) possessed and entranced,
A thirst no tear could quench,
Calls upon the setting sun
To search for (new) purity,
Through suffering redeemed,
A second heaven awaits,
Just beyond the stars and mist
Behold, existence
For we strive for liberation,
And reach out in defiance,
To embrace perfection
A glare that shatters skies,
Autumnal coming blaze,
Stares from the abyss,
Reaching to grasp the soul
Feeble hands outstretched,
To eclipse the pain,
Until the glory comes,
Like shutters concealing dawn
A veil rose upon the wind,
Dancing with the fallen leaves,
The flames reach for the sky,
As the churning void recoilS
The crystal sky now clear,
The veil tattered and torn,
Upon its fabric sewn,
The visage and essence of perfection
Screams told the lie,
In a final ‘goodbye’,
And buried all the sane,
And with them life’s bane
Tangled in our dreams,
An unknown midnight hour,
The toll of distant bells
Beckons to us from within
Expanding inside us,
(As) witness to greater death,
Our deluge preys down,
Drowning all in silence
Divine right bestowed,
We reach out for the stars,
To grasp a setting sun,
And burrow in its warmth
To those defiant few,
Upon whom light does not shine,
Await this coming dirge,
For it reflects your worth
|

Our hands outstretched to the sky,
Words are echoes of foregone lore
Beckoned from the grieving sun,
To where mirrors bear no reflection
From...the buried sky,
Tears...sadness rains
Towards...the soul's apex
Walk...into open flame
An ashen shoreline extends out,
Endless oceans of pallid sand,
Drawn by the crumbling of crypts,
To where the wind blows in all directions
Light...consumed by soul,
Born...in blessed silence
God...divine manifestation,
Suffer...in human flesh
Sworn to traverse a barren earth,
Bearing the truth we've devoured,
Lured from sunlight shining through skin,
To where wounds open and draw breath
Drown...in dimming light,
Eyes...behold the void
Watch...with coffins agape
Scream...the last epitaph
All suffering is divine,
All glory gained through pain,
Yet those who bled to witness light,
In darkness still remain
These words bleed forth from famished mouths,
These tears stain glorious halls,
Yet in the fire, where laughter resounds,
The wind shall bear our calls
We dream...in the crypts of the sun,
We bleed...for the father of life,
We die...and rot in merciful agony
We are...the divine silence

Feel the cold touch of heavenly damnation,
A faint whisper upon Autumn wind,
The darkness severed by blinding light,
Burrowing deep into silent pious minds,
As the cursed corpse falls below the ground,
And the rite of the bastard meets it's end,
Through the darkness these eyes stare on,
Though they are met by endless nothingness
Can you see the sun's dwindling light,
As it merges with the Earth so far away?
Yet feel it's fire fading deep inside,
Like the last gasp of a dying candle?
Here, in the embrace of death
A choir of worms screams out to you,
For you to bear witness in agony,
To the vast darkness that awaits
You teach these maggots to sing
...For the glory of eternity is upon you
Through silence, I heard you call to me,
In a shattered voice fearing nothing
I have no flesh to call my own,
Yet I cradled you in ever-bleeding shadow,
As your soul drifted to sleep

The Weavers Of Lunacy
04:46
|
|||
Visions of serenity,
Encapsulated reflection,
The space between stars,
Drink deep the wine of light
Across vast distant seashores,
Through great arcane groves,
Upon a nightwind steed,
The source of shadow rides
Blessed in majestic black
Into depths of spectral shadow,
Burning souls give light to dawn,
Black as tears of nightfall sear
Watch the sky, beneath an ever-setting sun
This barren earth, blessed by winter's touch
Echoing silence, the presence of holy death
Summon the sea, to drown all of my suns
Haunted flames burn beneath hallow ground
Blossoming smoke fogs the mouth of the sky
Rain falls and drowns the light in black,
Hands raised, praise the season to come
The flesh of the Earth lays tattered and torn,
Burned by love that blinds from below,
The marrow of soul bleeds into a black lake,
Yet hollow eyes swallow the sorrow
Tormented screams in dreams,
Encaged in inner darkness,
No prayer to break the spell,
Or tear the veil of void
Barren earth expands,
Into the black horizon,
Within minds void of sight,
No word can bring forth light

In The Dreaming Eye
04:40
|
|||
Upon an endless churning black sea,
As painted stars dance through all horizons,
Yet unseen hands left the canvas blank
Another gleaming star in the dead light
Speak to me, in your heart's tongue
And your words, shall drip like tears
Falling deeper, into a silent ocean
Traversed, in the cavernous depths of every sky
We are the storm in every sky,
Born of ancestral salvation,
By ageless voices guided,
Unto astral rebirth
Fifty thousand souls awaiting,
For heavenly gates to swing open,
And to behold the distant glory,
Forever hidden from our eyes
And in the dreaming eye,
A shadow of Eden,
With a heartbeat of smoke
The forever burning core ablaze
By the sunlight vestige,
Victims clutch at fetters,
Yet in this light
Lethargy looks so divine

My Barren Soul
03:15
|
|||
I was there when the sun died,
Her agony ever-burning within me,
I stood atop the highest mountain,
And drained the daylight from my heart
In my dreams I heard them speak,
Like choirs of weeping angels,
From the coldest and blackest sky,
They bled the sorrow from my soul
I hear distant thunder roar,
When the flowers wither,
But it never reached my heart,
For a hidden light within,
Takes the shape of a bird,
And brings fire to my sky
Distant eyes watch it burn,
And slowly step from the dark
I am like the moon ablaze in black,
I feel the ground give way,
As I gather to bleed the night
I hear the children cry,
Weeping as I crush their pain,
Reverberating notes that sing,
In sweet harmonious suffering
And when these halls fall silent,
Shadows gather by torchlight,
They waltz across bloodstained walls,
And beckon me to join them
In the presence of great beauty,
Where all rivers run red with death,
And they flood my barren soul,
To burn the starlight from my eyes
I glare into burning eyes,
Hatred brighter than the sun,
Stand fast, be brave,
Think only of salvation,
As your corpse burns with bliss,
In the holiest of flame

Enrapturing The Divine
03:04
|
|||
Here - beneath starlight,
Dismay shatters the stained glass silence
Staring blankly upon the source of disillusion
Ripped from sleep and bound by truth
Fire grips the mind,
Enrapturing the divine,
Eradicating hope adrift,
In cold waters
A defeated voice resounding it's pain
From a lost destiny to reclaim
We search the dark for light,
And follow in fading footprints
We endure the cold black abyss,
And find new light within it's depths
Embark upon this journey,
To be entrapped within a lie,
For the past is not as it seems,
The distant memories are never clear
Reflect the past - in crimson tears
Without need for redirection.
We shall repeat the cycle again
Beneath the fading light,
Perpetual flame to ignite
The dripping words,
Cast from forked tongues,
Ignite fiery lakes,
Within weakened hearts
The audience applauds,
A masterful performance,
But the night has just begun
We stab at the sky,
Please do not cry
Soon you shall be with your Christ
And you'll know his pain

The Fractured Light
03:14
|
|||
The fractured light,
Burning so bright,
A glorious sight
Trembling hands reach and grasp the star
To colors that bled,
Heavenly dreams fed,
The blood of the dead
The day came, and thunder reigned a world afar
A dawnless sky nailed to the wall,
Beckoned black upon the night's wing,
For the pain of all to transcend
The fractured beauty of a dreamscape,
Expanding ever onwards,
From the palm of my blistered hands
A spectral gale,
From echoing pale,
I bid them to fail,
All past lay dead, weeping before me
When silence spoke,
My hatred awoke,
Beneath night's cloak
A vision cast to the stirring past, awakening
We, outcasts of the weeping sun
Voyaging beyond carnality,
Into the spectrum of destiny
In the last breath of a dying mother,
Rusted shackles crumbled away,
Beckoning us to stars that gleam,
and sing, in once forlorn dreams
The struggles that once defined us,
Are but a wisp of spreading dust,
In the vast, black oceans of tomorrow
In solitude, revelation viewed,
Without faith to delude
The shattered mirror hatefully stares back
Earthborn son, the final one,
Thy will be undone
To light this inner flame that thirsts to consume faith
Ignorance has wrought their joy,
So saccharine it's deception,
Beckoning it's slaves back,
Into the void of a lie's conception
In revelation-bound frenzy,
The waters shroud my feet
To journey forth and grasp truth,
Before me, bidding life to fleet

Sovereign To Obscurity
04:43
|
|||
When the graves align,
All souls are blessed in death,
The scythe that stalks the fields,
Descends to pierce thy flesh
Buried at the edge of existence,
But I beheld the ravens return,
Their secrecies bestowed unto me,
And within internal fire I'll burn
From what I've sworn to sever,
Crimson pyres alight inside
But from the oceans in my eyes,
Moonlight beams glimmer and guide
When the blackened Earth burns bright,
And the eyes of eternity gleam,
Remember the spiralling shadows,
And the withered roses scream
Dressed in darkness and encircled by oak,
Here where streams of the sky burn black,
I view the sun cast it's shadow on the Earth,
And the martyrdom's scars that mark thy back
I could catch the sunlight,
In the palm of my bare hands,
I could hang a thorn-bearing noose,
From the edge of the sky
Cast into open flame,
As the source of all shame,
The forest dead above,
Where maggots voice their love
There is no ground known to you,
But I shall trace the tattered aether,
And the sadness infesting my heart,
Falls to decaying soil like feathers
I watch your effigy across the sky,
Your love burns in every sunset,
Yet the glorious withering is nigh
For you are my soul cherished death
Between rotting trees - You found me
In the waves of the sea - You drowned me
Beneath the fires of dawn - you awoke me
Begotten end - You are everything
I found you, I drowned you, I awoke you, I am everything
