Frostmoon Eclipse The End Stands Silent 1. Heaven Outside, Hell Within Afraid to think in a dangerous way Afraid to think The unchained arena of torment Outside and deep within I’ve been so far From human minds Recruiting the worst failures Of mankind Night... Alone... Think... Death... I’m here to set all of that To finally give you a try Hopeless cancers Deep through the night Replacing faith with hope Like acid it attacks and corrodes I felt the stench of the deceased Open wide Admiring the cold embrace Giving people a distorted image of yourself What I want to give you Is the last rejoice... last rejoice Night... Alone... Think... Death... I’m here to set all of that To finally give you a try Hopeless cancers Deep through the night Replacing faith with hope Like acid it attacks and corrodes I felt the stench of the deceased Open wide Heaven outside and hell within All have been said I turned it to grim Your demons never sleep 2. I Am The Absence I want you to know who I really am now I need you to look inside this abyss I beg you to go, never turn back anymore I want you to know who I really am now I painted this place – black as coal I painted 1000 deaths on these walls of mine On this path I followed, there has never been someone, rain fell in my dreams On this way I travelled, I licked all these painful scars and hid them with hope In this well below me, the end of all things is waiting for us In this well I’m drowning, can’t you understand all the failure inside? Breathing silence Under cold ice Nothing but another Autumn to creep on me, a darkness will come Nothing but a skyline, too far to reach again and covered by clouds And this time I’m falling, this will be the last time I rise up again I will lay my body down into this abyss and stare at the hollows Breathing silence Under cold ice I painted this place – black as coal I painted 1000 deaths on these walls of mine I wanted this place to be as black as the night I painted it all with each pain I could find So many times I looked at you, as you said But I’ve never seen you I just look around, seeing no-one I surrender, yes I’m from another world, and I’m fine here A world of silence and misunderstandings In which you can’t have a place Because you’re nothing to me Simply nothing… And so you came, so you’ll go So I found comfort within myself Far from this comedy called life Nothing but silence and blackness This is the place I call my home 3. Corridors There are bleak corridors behind This heavy wooden door No light ever did touch these walls Nor a voice ever did resound here. There are staring empty faces Hiding behind shadows of grey The void of long gone expressions Is forever standing still. This is simply the triumph of Death This is the triumph of Death Absolute. Ineffable. It’s the triumph of Death. Symbols are forever banished there Not a mark of human vanity is found Can you see this is the grave of gods? Where only fear of coming back to life Remains. This is what I dream when my eyes Gaze wide open at night every time Searching for the darkest corner To devour me once and for all. There are bleak corridors behind This heavy wooden door No light ever did touch these walls No hope ever will. This is the triumph of Death Absolute. Ineffable. It’s the triumph of Death. 4. Under Pale City Lights Waves of black creeping on the streets Under pale city lights They crash against walls of concrete And quietly flood over My eyes behind this broken windowpane Are empty and dead As I wait each night for a darkness to come And hide me away From the hate of this world From the sun of this world From the life of this world From the truth of this world This black sea grows beneath me Every second more How long did I wait for this to come To wash me away I slowly fill my lungs, let the air come in One last time Got rid of all those memories, off of me Let it all go A bird stares at me, alone on a wire Its wings reflect this black mire Unable to fly away, too weak to fight The coming darkness From the hate of this world From the sun of this world From the life of this world From the truth of this world This black sea grows beneath me Every second more How long did I wait for this to come To wash me away I slowly fill my lungs, let the air come in One last time Got rid of all those memories, off of me Let it all go From the pain of this world From the threat of this world Too weak to fight The coming darkness Now it comes Under pale city lights Now it comes 5. Unnatural Isolation I owe you one, you’ve been the right ring of the chain Without you I’d probably never started thinking to wake myself up It could seem strange to drive to nowhere Even if it’s the mind doing that Travelling through the abyss of my thoughts Exploring the grey clouds Death is the only solution to everything …of everything I’m upgrading, changing the skin, immolating …of everything Today I’ve got up earlier, thinking about yesterday Will tomorrow be the same, now? Peace doesn’t exist in me, it’s just an obtuse vision of shame Or an unnatural isolation …of everything To understand? To get things clean? Hard, very hard… like to move a mountain I am between the sky and the sea Travelling on my own roads Visiting my own places and cities Talking with faces unknown Full of stories that nobody need to hear So death is still the only solution for a progressive unnatural isolation… Death is the only solution to everything …of everything I’m upgrading, changing the skin, immolating …of everything Today I’ve got up earlier, thinking about yesterday Will tomorrow be the same, now? Peace doesn’t exist in me, it’s just an obtuse vision of shame Or an unnatural isolation …of everything 6. A Clandestine Freedom Between Shadows A world of shadows Crawling senseless and useless Misunderstanding the meaning of life I still feel the pulse of animals The need to run away free They keep you chained to destroy what once was you Did you lose the will to run? Did you lose the need to bite? Breathing the senseless To enjoy the real meaning Chaos, violence and casualties The only way to survive is Dancing between the shadows over consciences Looking at reality straight through the eyes I won’t need light anymore Cause I finally understand what I was looking for Shedding blood for vehemence To simply avoid the mere negligence Now! I can’t understand why you decided to stay here The reason is still unknown to me Funny enough you’re now crying and hating yourself You had the chance to change your life and you gave it your back Words have never changed the world Words will never turn you into a clandestine freedom …between shadows Get back the beast you forgot to be 7. The End Of Everything Like poor draws fading and dissolving with time I should have been made in a better way. Grasping and scratching the ground Like looking for something that doesn’t exist It’s not depending on me, but reality took its way I’m a part of the end, coming. I still need to understand if it could simply be Salvation Just a bit afraid of the pain, inevitable pain Losing control? This is what I always needed To be afraid? To rest in a better way? Sometimes I look outside this cage called body Flying over better places, where to be is insignificant Do you really need wings to fly? The end of everything Something I desired for a long time The end of nothing Because I counted nothing on this earth The end of everything I feel both regret and absence The end of nothing Nothing at all counts to me Nothing counts to me Unbelievable distance, it seems like to step on an ocean But it’s the result that counts Maybe this is your most important match to win Your adversary is widely known Just a bit afraid of the pain, inevitable pain Loosing control? This is what I always needed To be afraid? To rest in a better way? Sometimes I look outside this cage called body Flying over better places, where to be is insignificant Do you really need wings to fly? The end of everything Something I desired for a long time The end of nothing Because I counted nothing on this earth The end of everything I feel both regret and absence The end of nothing Nothing at all counts to me Nothing counts to me This long distance calling The one way journey towards the unknown You’ve always been curious to do it, no? So take your things and start to walk Even if your things are irrelevant Step after step, looking at the abyss Where the end stands silent waiting for you Just you.
