Mournful Congregation The Dawning of Mournful Hymns 1. Fading Light Of A Dying Sun As the sun goes down and darkness arrives My mind flees from fear of death Suicide has taken so many lives I am at the stage where I cannot decide To take my life or to go on living Is this a sin please tell me God I mourn at the thought of my loved ones death It seems that there is nothing left for me Suicide remains an option inside I do not know whether I should be dead I only wish that God would answer my prayers Grief, pain, torture and death Are the only feelings I know Living is now called pain to me Love is lost in my memory I am now forced to feel sorrow Will I last to see tomorrow I am waiting for a change in this abnormal life Will it come and will I survive If I commit suicide I cannot be sure If I will end up in heaven or hell As the darkness fades and I see the first rays of light Another day of misery is all that is ahead of me 2. Astralic Dreams My candle burns through As I awaken from my astralic dreams Seems like years have passed by And now I write I have found the ability within myself To be able to portray the future The visions I have witnessed Enlighten all my thoughts on life There is still much yet to be discovered I dreamt of floating across seas As faint winds carried me Higher and higher Until I reach the astral plane 3. Weeping 4. Suffer The Storms Tied to a wooden stake Left in the forest to dies Struggling to break free Thoughts of my life passing by The howl of a nearby wolf Echoes carried in the winds My shivering beaten body hoping Praying to my gods for I have sinned The thunderous storms of the impure gods Throw me into neverending solitude In which my soul is forever tormented By the damned in the pits of Acheron 5. Heads Bowed ...Heads Bowed... A moment of bitterness overcomes me The object is there but I am not ready The spirits are whispering waiting to engulf me Mesmerising chimes distant and abstracted ...The Descent... I enhance the object of stone, a statue Concentrating my mind on this point Rising towards the spirits, the chimes intensify I am following the quabalistic tree ...Oblivion... The endless images of forthcoming tranquility Prosperity is mine as I inhabit the skies Day is night and time is nonexistent I am not in my own forever... 6. Miriam 7. An Epic Dream Of Desire Dusk has arrived and we are all lonely Gardens stand still like stone We look to the clouds for they form epic pictures Meaningful to some, meaningless to others The earth stands still, the air is silent We all dream together, yet we are all alone The world is a lonely place, for all to pity our existence Our minds in a maze, we do not know where to go from here We share the pain, we feel the sorrow This dismal place in which we stand Becomes our kingdom of cold stone A place for all to dream eternally 8. Skyward Gaze, Earthward Touch Sensations of immaculate thought Dwell once more within The mountains lower heavenwards For so long they have watched the earth They know the secrets of life They know that which we may never learn Beneath endless sky is where I lay The autumn leaves float dreamingly towards me As I drift off to the clouds above I forget my earthbound being Distant cellos play music that brings me to tears While the breeze carries a whisper That sounds to me like an ancient chant Guiding me and awakening the knowledge within From here I am divinity A bearer of the sacred knowledge 9. Remembrance Of The Transcending Moon A mountain of harmony peaking with vibrance In the firmament of non-being Gathering mist and drawing mystic essence And bleeding its golden blood Remembrance of the transcending moon Pakle, tranquil, distand... And further... Dejected life force enflaming the venlif act Of the downward stream Currents pulsate in an everflowing interchanging aura Dissipating humanic awe 10. Empirical Choirs The voice of a choir, echoes unto me With resplendence, a passage of moonlight Trickles slowly across the forest floor Through many branches, reaching out to the stars I gaze, I wander through the vastness Of the nightshade, desiring nothing A journey of darkening begins Innermost pleasures must cease Forbearers behold Our divine descent hath turned And the retrieval of purity Within my heart shall become 11. Tears From A Grieving Heart Like tears from a grieving heart We flow to the deepest depths Every crevice is filled With memories of depression A sea on earth is a sea of tears Forever being added to For mankind to drown in The shards of shattered hope Forever reincarnated As our souls reliving the turmoil Once again cry out As blood flows from the heart So to does depression Understanding only comes at death Not before We watch from their eyes As they fade into eternity Beneath is where they lay Their knowledgeable smirks devour us 12. Opal Of The Stream Beneath The Hills It was and shall ever remain As distant as the stars For the darker planes and us Lie and sin embrace beauty Together and alone are one Of hope and destiny Foretold of the symbol Brought forth by wings And carried to the land Beneath the hills Its opaque vibrations Mesmerize and reveal A reflection of heaven Those prophetic ones Standing amongst age old trees And their monuments So great is the power Those ancient woods shall prevail 13. Elemental 14. The Epitome Of Gods And Men Alike You shall be cast down Before even dreams were dreamt of There existed misery Epitome of gods and men alike Tormented as they struggled Amidst chaos, twisted beings did mesh as one Not yet beyond the veil To be as waxen idols... Crafted with the blackest hand of matter Birthed was the unseeing eye Divinity renamed.... Silence the unhearer Burden thy path not more Shade the beacon light Keep hidden from ones Whom seek not paths of worth Drink the Soma Vision the white lotus Seated upon the thousandth petal Crucified to the days of three Emerge, open thy eye View the innate and dream the dream Behold the nirvanic temple...
