Evoken Embrace the Emptiness 1. Intro 2. Tragedy Eternal I wait in sorrow On a Grey colored floor Begging for a darker emotion To overtake what is not yet black I'm slowly crawling to my own end (just to be with you) Calling out to the mist that covers your presence (but I can feel you near) Touching with my thoughts (only imagined pleasures can exist) 3. Chime The Centuries' End A majestic sight of everlasting reign Behold the rise of December's frozen kingdom Reddest of the skies welcome the angel of sorrow the tower chimes the centuries end I awaken to the eclipse of the blackest nights moon Come forth winters orchestral winds I am weakened by blizzards of sadness and chilling forgotten Eves 4. Lost Kingdom Of Darkness Darkest are the forgotten valley's where Ancient forms gather amid the swirling winds... Their presence felt only within the coldest depths of the soul, plagued with fearful belief... The moon casts an eerie glow revealing the vast desolation where a mighty kingdom once ruled in darkness... Tragedy has befallen these spirits Revealed is the truth, all is forever lost Weary eyes that search the dark side Sigh of infinite sorrow shattered by the wind 5. Ascend Into The Maelstrom Exhorted by psalms and canticles These monuments of a crude form of grey shimmer A Tumult in heaven, the anthems of ecstasy and fear confuse to seek a less doomed abode Why should I witness this? A muted creation taken into a somber and glacial twilight as ash and dust which held the earth in thrall now lost... Across the putrid moat I lie and dream of my fearful ascent To a prodigious height entranced by the detestable Piping of tragic yet mercifull flutes in the wan beams of paradise The shadows of shoel now blinding An effigy of him, the shameless lie this now becomes 6. To Sleep Eternally Allured from unhallowed realms The most guileful of luminosity A macabre dance that speaks of imminent death To which, now, I gaze in awe and silently sigh In guilt I draw ever so close as the eyes of twilight dissolve in the descending heavens Souls torn by envy and grief Forever to reach out beyond the black stone I finally embrace your bleeding heart You who passes before me, have been the serene haunting of my sleep Too long have I feared this day Your whispers envelop tears for what is yet to come Shall we ever meet in myth again My sorrow shall reflect passion For I must bid farewell, to sleep eternally Beneath the earth 7. Curse The Sunrise Once again, this odious sunlight falls upon my face As I awaken to the sun's uncaring glance Must I suffer through this endless procession of bleakest hours Sinking deeper beneath the weight of depression Faces loom just beyond my vision Empty eyes full of contempt and fear Is this dream or reality Behind the facade of alienation A scream lingers - reflections too surreal I cannot fathom their pathetic, meaningless lives In the cold grasp of insanity powerless to cry out Damned to exist in desolation and misery I curse the sunrise...
