Temple Of Void
Summoning the Slayer
1. Behind the Eye
Have you truly seen the eye?
Peel the layers, reveal what's inside
An influx of saturnine
Feeding into a damaged mind
From the cradle to the grave
Constant lash of the negative
It's in death that we truly see
Horror pales to reality
True corruptions of humanity
Scorched this earth with their apathy
Trauma begat monstrosity
Forged is dysregularity
From the cradle to the grave
Constant lash of the negative
It's in death that we truly see
Horror pales to reality
Isolation and overwhelm
Pushes down the authentic self
A lifetime of visions can grow depraved
Hurled towards an end that cannot be saved
Rung by rung
Never looking back
In the end, not any less dead
Just buried in a lavish coffin
2. Deathtouch
Moments fleeting
Recall lost
Awake or sleeping?
Reminiscence fading out
An idealist fantasy
So drunk upon the sweet nectar
Of euphoric denial
And you'll sift through the ashes
Of the want and the lust
And you'll find as time disaligns
And the past is crushed...
Memory turns to dust
The memory turns to dust
Through the want and the lust
You'll try to deny the demise
In the end was just
So memory turns to dust
Mirrored anguish
As a gaze of pain
Projects a reflection just as broken
As the source
And you'll sift through the ashes
Of the want and the lust
And you'll find as time disaligns
And the past is crushed...
Memory turns to dust
The memory turns to dust
Through the want and the lust
You'll try to deny the demise
In the end was just
So memory turns to dust
Seek to find, yet never see
Puerility justified
To fight all belief
And you'll pick up the pieces
Of the love and the trust
And the mind, by design, becomes blind
And confined by disgust...
So memories turn to dust...
You'll find as time disaligns
And the past is crushed...
Memories turn to dust
Turn to dust
The memory turns to dust
We turn to dust
3. Engulfed
Feel the spiral coming on again
Familiar waves of heat wash the mind
Start the pace on the same
Trampled circle
As your bones throb with
Pulsating numbness
Watch that floor crack and crumble
In exquisite darkness
You begin to plummet
Down... (x4)
Engulfed in black
Tenebrosity truly obscures
The eclipse of madness as it overshadows
And you continue falling
Down... (x4)
Walls warp and dissolve
But your boundaries are meaningless
Destination stagnation
Shielded within emptiness
Just because they can't see you
Doesn't mean you don't disappoint
Simple failures can become horrendous
Over-promise an under-deliver
4. A Sequence of Rot
Deep tragedy without relief
I'm sinking fast
With your hand nowhere in reach
We failed to meet
Unity in a common ground
Built upon empathy
And I slowly wither inward
So we can remain worlds apart
Though it may align and nearly connect
The pulse is always lost
I see you turn to me
Desperately to fill the void
While my own ripped beyond reprieve
Bleak destiny
From what could be
If hope and trust weren't forced
Behind the screen
And I slowly wither inward
So we can remain worlds apart
Anxiety. Mutually
Together we laid the bricks over vulnerability
Seems that we lead such different lives
And I know I'll bereave you eventually
5. Hex, Curse, & Conjuration
Gathering
The distinct elements
Tampering
Prodding the dark veil
Meddling
A fish eye marks it sealed
Conjuring only pettiness
To deceive
Is to convince yourself
And believe
Lies are justified
To receives
Accountabilities
Yet to see
Only outside dearth
So this is why
You can't feel
I can't find
Saddening
This is existence
And this curse
Never seems to break
Evil isn't a thing
You can use and put away
Dark magic comes at a price
And always gets repaid
No! (x4)
Dark magic comes at a price
And always gets repaid
6. The Transcending Horror
A doomed voyage into the mouth of hell
Find sanity's exit where reason failed
Cold damp rock
Distant shrieks
Your unlikely guides across the deep
To navigate through darkness
But what terror lurks beyond?
And I can't find the answers
Through the discord of screams
But the cacophony is not always
What it seems
Extrinsic power forces inside
Eating holes in your logic
And solace denied
You drag your fingers
Push toward the sound
The end impending
But can't gain the ground
And you'll find you're facing yourself
And you'll find that it's all part of the plan
Scenes replay
Transient bursts of better days
Agony
From the things I wish
That I could change
Thought decay
Sense my recall drift away
Questioning
Is resentment justified this time?
Real life
Or is this all inside of your mind?
7. Dissolution
What takes your pain away?
The healing words I failed to say?
A penance I could not pay
To bring you home and keep you safe?
And so many times I tried
To stop my mind, or make it right
In the end I failed to decide
And lost the way as fear took guide
And now the night's begun
A pink moon burns over setting sun
Indication that the day is gone
With nothing changed, yet still we long
And I tried to rationalize.
"It's better off a compromise
Perhaps another place or time
Can light your way back to mine."
