Sigh
In Somniphobia




1. Purgatorium

What did you see in my eyes of eternity,
The illusion lies in the false serenity,
The evil seeds, they are to be sealed,
Forever in oblivion, not to be revealed,

I Live You Die
You Shall Know Why
I Live You Die
Your Life Is Mine

My words, my curse, my cries unheard,
My words, my curse, my lies to be learned,

Obsessed with dreams of madness,
They shine like stars above me,
The lies are piled in front of me,
I live, you die
Obsessed with dreams of madness,
They'll fall like stars above me,
The truth keeps whispering me,
I live, you die

(I feel) what is lost that used to be there for sure,
Struggling with no hope to walk out of this,
Surrounded by darkness that lasts forever,
Drowning in weakness built upon the deception,

Blame me now for what I have done,
Blame me now for what isn't done,
Blame me now for what I have done,
Blame me now for what is gone,

The repeated lies became the truth,
Facade in this fear I will soothe,
Ugliness (behind) beauty,
Truth behind lies,
Only the brave shall escape the curse to enslave


2. The Transfiguration Fear

I can't believe what I have seen,
I'm not a fool to cling to the hope
It's a yoke which I have never asked for,

None shall break my silence,
None shall ever deny it,
Are you afraid of nothingness,
like I am?

No matter how much I'm screaming out for,
That is invisible and insensible,
Waiting for this moment,

(Chorus)
Into darkness you're falling,
Into (the) fire,
The end of torment I'm calling,
See the world, it's to disappear
Into darkness you're falling,
Into (the) fire,
The end of fear I'm calling,
Feel the world, it's to disappear

All I could do was to pray,
Though I know it won't pay,
Once caught in this dream, you'll never escape it,

Now the candle is burning out,
Destined from the beginning,
If it's a sin, I'll welcome it
Who shall bleed on it?
When you find it out, it's too late,
Waiting for this moment
Waiting for this torment


3. Opening Theme: Lucid Nightmare



4. Somniphobia

Nocturnal visions invade my sanity,

Colours I have never seen,
Shapes that should not have been,
My limbs that I am losing,
My mind this fear is confusing,
My sight, but I see with no eyes,
Mark my words, which now mean nothing but lies,
The world within my imagination,
(Going) through the transformation

Yes, you're a blind man,
Lost in the dark
You wish to wake but how?
Yes you're a blind man,
Caught in the cage,
You wish to find the way out.

The world as we know it,
I never doubted,

Stumbling on my only reward,
Do I belong to something,
that's not the same (any more) as it used to be,
Something (once) called an emotion,
I'm so sure that is long,
Much longer than my existence,
I'm so sure that is old,
Much older than our existence


5. L'excommunication À Minuit

A midnight frenzy,
We'll let it begin,
It's an unholy orgy,
So full of sins,
It's a rite in ecstasy
Not to be seen,
It's a filthy ecstasy
For our queen,

A heretic anthem we will sing,
Nightmare in the shape of a snake
with the two black wings
A chosen icon that was once called king
A filthy ecstasy they will bring
(To) a tell-tale symbol we will sing,
It's a symbol of fire, yes, fire!

In the dead of the night,
You will die tonight!

So be it!

Ring the bell,
Close the book,
Quench the candle,
We are born of fire!


6. Amnesia

Amnesia, they call it, but, they don't know
what it is..
Please don't leave me alone,

My eyes glaze as my mind fades,
Save me from this never-ending hell,

They came from somewhere, somewhere else,
From the place we do not know,
Strange visions, now they grimmer,
As my memories become dimmer,

Don't tell me it's unholy,
Don't tell me it's so heavenly,
It'll come to me, though slowly,
It'll come to me, it scares me,

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that I'm losing my
head because
I saw it with my very eyes!

Ugly and completely unknown,
The sinister memories brought by
oblivion,
Fear me, hate me, torture me and
you'll kill me,
terrorize me,

Don't leave me alone,

No, I just can't escape myself,
Please don't leave me alone,
Trapped inside of myself,
Save me from this never-ending hell,

In a myth on in an endless dream
Fear of the unknown creeps behind me,
Remembrance is emerging in the brain-fever,
So hypnotic, so terrifying as my coma gets deeper


7. Far Beneath The In-Between

Phantasmagoric visions behind my eyes
Cosmic voices echo deep in my mind
Ancient chanting in an alien tongue
Dementia transfer has now begun

Beyond the wall of sleep and dream
Nightmares crawling of shapeless things
I know not what I do to myself
I'm no longer in control of myself

Tentacles coiled around my brain
Invisible force drives me insane
Amorphous beings that are using me
To do such horrid ghastly things

[Chorus]
Far beneath the in-between
Can no one hear my cries - hear my screams
I know not what I do to myself
I'm no longer in control of myself

I am a vessel for these horrors to stir
Possessed by an evil not of this earth
Sadistic torment I commit in their names
Upon the innocent now caught in my wake

[Chorus]
I'm now -
Far beneath the in-between
Thru the threshold of these terrible dreams
So surreal is the blood I now spill
in the name of old gods that thrill to kill

Charming black slime
Twisting my mind
The demon star
Madness now born


8. Amongst The Phantoms Of Abandoned Tumbrils

I walk among the creeping hours
Towards the cemetery gate
Where death rattles purr
From ulcerous mouths agape

Past pits of tangled limbs
Fingers pointing to godless skies,
Tumbrils of still expressions
And faceless grinning skulls.

Ay soul is cleaned of joy
By the reaping hook of hell
I am lost in lamenting fog
That none can dispel

In melting murmurs of my regrets
I fade into the un-pierced shade
To fold my palms across my chest
And lowered into the yawning grave

I have become darkness profound
laid to rest in shallow grave
my redundant flesh obscure and foul,
the lid unmoved with coffin nail

I watch my corpse yonder blazing
livid flame and sparkles dire,
bitter ash of cremated remains
my soul a doleful shade afire

I pray for suicide
to never wake from my bed,
but how can I die
when I am already dead

[Chorus]
Bring out your dead withered skin
Bring out your dead languid limbs
Bring out your dead withered skin
Bring out your dead withered limbs

Under hell's burning rafters
and solemn brimstone pyres
passed dark satanic mills
of the infernal funeral Firestone
to wander the hills of Hades
and the grim embrace of day
my spirit formless and cold
to drown in gluttonous decay

I see silhouettes of laughter
on fiery mound of hollow repine
where hueless wraiths casts spells
of Orphean sorrow unfeigned

[Narration]
My guts spilled forth like eels
slithering from a ruptured sack, this
loathsome plague has come with the
chilling gripe of sorrow to drag me
into the dreadful din of sulphurous
torment and here I shall remain
until the hour glass of time cracks.
I am the unveiled stillness of
mouldering bones, the bloodless
lustrous gloom where no flesh walks.
I am the wisp of foul shade
which the foul grave exhales from the
inwoven darkness.
What have I become! why do I
wander beyond death? Only the
wreath on my grave marks my life
once lived.

Doleful knell of dewy twilight
casting chimes into infernal tomb
where echoes of wrought dread
assail the vaulted gloom.

From dreary pits of dreamless sleep
to the uncharted Stygian shores
I wear the skin of the dying
enwreathed with ulcerous sores.

I gaze into the swooning deep
and fathomless waters of dis,
this friendless dolorous solitude
of thronging foul abyss

I see silhouettes of laughter
on fiery mound of hollow repine
where hueless wraiths casts spells
of Orphean sorrow unfeigned

Under hell's burning rafters
and solemn brimstone pyres
passed dark satanic mills
of the infernal funeral Firestone
to wander the hills of Hades
and the grim embrace of day
my spirit formless and cold
to drown in gluttonous decay

I ride the riven wave of evermore
through frowning austere chasms
astride dread phantoms pale
and mute enwinged phantasms

I pray for suicide
to never wake from my bed,
but how can I die
when I am already dead

Kill me twice again
bury me alive in earthen grave
burn my flesh to floating ash
and watch my remains fly away

Kill me thrice
drown me in tomb girdled ground
silence my assiduous wails
so that I no more make make
a sound.

Bring out your dead
Bring out your dead
Bring out your dead
Bring out your dead
Bring out your dead
Bring out your dead


9. Ending Theme: Continuum



10. Fall To The Thrall

Buried in the tomb once filled with glory,
Fall to the thrall, it comes so slowly,
Defeat is in your eyes,
The old deceit now despised,

Once written, once warned,
The life to be torn and the lies to be scorned,
Shattered hope, shattered dream,
Was it a trap as it seemed,

You crawl then you fall to be a thrall,
Defeat in your eyes that is so gall,
Deceit in you lies, that is so gall,

Prepare yourself to be hammered in hell,
Or did you think you'd rule in heaven?
Keep on dreaming though you'll end up in
screaming (weeping)
With the vanity you sell,
Your fate on fire,

[Chorus]
FALL TO THE THRALL
Your fate is on fire, the trap behind you,
FALL TO THE THRALL
The bait for the liar, that will blind you,
FALL TO THE THRALL
Your fate is on fire that will blind you,
FALL TO THE THRALL
The bait for the liar, that will grind you,

Cruel fate you shall await
(But) You're deaf, you're blind
to the scythe behind
Defeat is in your eyes,
In this hell, you'll never survive,

Time to beg on your knees,
You bleed but none shall hear your plead,
You're lost, you've crossed the line of fire,
The fate you choose, the game you lose,
You crawl then you fall to be a thrall,
Defeat in your eyes, that is so gall,
Deceit in your lies, that is so gall,


11. Equale I) Prelude II) Fugato III) Coda

[Prelude]
I am waiting,
But I am shaking,
I can't refuse it, I can't choose it,
When our God is there to abuse it,
I am gazing at the fear inside of me,
I am gazing at the fear that cleanses me,

[I]

[Chorus]
Kill me now, I don't need to plea,
Kill me now it's meant to be,
Kill me now if (it's) written in your story,
Kill me now I'll drown in my glory,

In the end only (the) sorrow waits
Today you're tamed tomorrow hook bait,
It's the end to which you have to cling,
It's the bliss that only death can bring,

I wish I'd keep on dreaming of
The past which I have to believe in,
I wish I'd keep on dreaming of
The past which (has) gone forever,
Maybe it's too late, now (only) the dark
awaits,
My fate, Their hate,
All my fear will turn to their tears,
All my fear, the means I hear,

[Chorus]
Kill me now, Until the fear fills me,
Kill me now, the glory I'll see
me now, To my fate I'll bow,
Kill me now, kill me now,

I had to see what I had to be,
Breathing through the sentence I get,
I am still yearning to be free,
Begging on my knees, I should be not,

[II]

I know it's nothing but a dream (in which)
I am let to live then die,
on what they give,
on what they design,

When I think of (my) fate to come,
I'll face the sentence I get from,
The fate, the method I'll succumb (to),
Blindly numb, I'll become,

Drowning in my pain and nothing to remain
Poison in my vein I'm striving in vain,
No one's divine, (I see) no sun to shine,
No use in crying when the salvation's mine,
Burning is my tongue,
Burning is my tomb,
Burning are my eyes,
Burning are my dreams,

Or is it nothing but a dream in which
I am let to live then die,
on what they give,
on what they design,

Now look at the reaper behind me,
I pray for my soul to be damned forever,
Until the moment they finally find me,

I pray for my soul to be damned forever,

Let me bleed on (this) endless nightmare,
Let me bleed on (this) flesh that I tear,
Let me bleed my own blood,
That is curse forever,

Omnia Vanitas, the reaper's there,
The believer's prayer is the deceiver's bane,
Omnia Vanitas, the redeemer's scare,
The believer's prayer is the deceiver's bane,

As I see their sign divine,
Life of mine will never shine,

[III]

We all are cursed,
By the curse none shall ever escape,
When we find it out,
It's too late,
There's nothing we can do,

Nothing but a farce,
Nothing but a one-night dream,
Or should I say nightmare,
We know it,
All of us,

I'm sorry but I have to go now...
