Bishop of Hexen The Nightmarish Compositions 1. Unveil The Curtain Of Sanity And if plunge into the past, you will surely see What horrifying death awaits for thee Thousands of tales and speak of pain Uncounted screams, and tortured limbs Engulfed by the fire or frozen yet living Hungry, diseased, or murdered in your linen! Now think how fortunate you will be To just wither away and never be Unveil the curtain of sanity... 2. Eyes Gaze To A Future Foreseen Eyes gaze as the future unfolds To horizons, no foot set at their dawn Whence came this fear of dying that stole all our strength? When elders speak of broken trees They planet the seeds for forthcoming wind The forces and rhythms of war Flesh dying, a separation of souls Their eyes gaze to a future foreseen To horizons, no foot set at their dawn i played for thou tunes, and sang at the choir Circled through and fro, voices coarse and sore Woth no lips, and no strings No pawns, and no kings Wisdom heard never before Immersed in blight, in horror, I've set foot in thou mind You let me in and i closed shut the door and I reaped you apart! No future could suffice For what I am here to explore When chaos reigns I shall stride through that door To claim all those dearest, thou shed tears upon and adore Forlorn, and shriveled (they'll be), to the furance them all And you invoked me before From the midwife's role until the burier's toll My presence grows within you all A drawing not for all to see You cannot resist it yet you are bound to the part I've weaved for thee And you, you invoked me before Hint of a doubt, turns swiftly to gore You cannot resist it yet you are bound to the part I've weaved for thee Till time comed and you will recall This body you wore Countless eons ago To flee from one battle Thus loosing the war... 3. A Serpentine Crave (In) the midst of a pit where deaths-heart, beat At the far most point Where several world meet In the mist, erupts passion Where motion sets remorse Energy flows in a shapeless course And sorrow-forged in fire The seeds of storm Burst and grow to become a swarm To hammer out your dreams With a dreadful coating All is but a prison when the heart is confined All is but death when deprived of pride My thirst arose, and now loose, I begin the search for glory When awhim become a will and paves the way to power When in famine The hour always comes late when fulfilling a burning desire When touching the core and the heart of the pyre A scorched black path leads to my salvation This way demands great deeds To mock fear and despair To put an end to my starvation "Danger glances like a sunshine to a brave man's etes" As honor is seductive to the shamed and shallow And fortune a stranger to the downcast, deafen by meger cry Danger is indeed for me, a graceful jubilation I carve and huner For a thunderous love A serpentine love for hate and glory With a vigilant eye, i observe the sky To guide me and my flock To relive and cure our ills An omen from above Our steps, led by a distant staff When time and place will come into eclipse- we will be as one 4. Sleeping By Nightmares [instrumental] 5. Self Loathing Orchestration The turmoil, the tempest and the burns The inner lament, nothing magnificent! Screens on the outside... The promise, the hope and the scars The inner voice, mute, screams way out of sight Turn over stone after stone, to reveal a scorpion The turmoil, the tempest and the burns Promise... A feeble glow in the dark... evoling only to descent A stare is enough to... put them out Self loathing Orchestration A shaken young man Has aged far before it's mine Now the days have passed When he paved his way through the lies They haunt him at night, and reflect through his eyes A twich caught moth The hunter become the hunt Whence will come serenity that Has no death as its roll Where lays silence that doesn't bind with loneliness to become a whole ? While sleeping, by nightmares he is devoured His body inhabits a dead soul, eyes empty and hollow Awaken! Heed our call Don't let go until you become a whole Live thy dreams fulfill thy desire Dream to live And never ever cease 6. Spiritual Soul Sunset What shall be my tower of light, in an endless night ? What remedy shall appease my blight ? (And) who shall come to my aid, and who shall stay to fight ? For the fight that lies on sight Is won within, within the heart... No legions, no masses Nor mob, or a knight Just a single soul needed Armed with passion of a love and the vigor of a child I have not the comfort of indulging in fantasies And as many reflections collide, clarity seems so dim I brook no mysticism, and no romantic inwards dream My fate now dust But shall form my epitaph My old flesh is dealt with scorn Yet, in another time, another place I am reborn Oh "truth", leave me be! Vanish, for only one moment For I am betrothed to thee And thy art my murderer and umpire Thou art my nemesis, yet part of me I truly believe that tomorrow brings destruction A part of me must die And another, the soar, the fly I truly believe, it's time to end the lie A part of me must die, and another to burm the sky But the death-sting shall pass over me A lifeless life will end, without a sigh No blood of mine shall stain the earth My cuts are unseen, a red thread entwined between The earthly and the courts are held up high Valor thy bark so week... Valor for you i seek Oh valor, you have caused me harm For now you are my only companion under the sun 7. The Somber Grounds Of Truth The hours filled with a glowing light Now seem a distant sight As i wallow in the somber grounds of truth The eyes are cloaked by the void within A rough terrain reveals And a mere glance is enough The air itself contaminated with sadness Sharp shapes and threatening with sadness ...all around.. ..the wrecks of passion and desire Oh on wings of fire And steeds of steel Come salvation Harmony divine! Whatever price it my ask from me No matter what the cost should be It is the key to unleash my entity Obliterating the snares before me Restored to earth oh so it seems A dreamer in a nightmare! A star follow star and all are dim Piercing a thousand holes in my soul... Fierce beams struck my brow The soul of Nature sprang elate And mine sank sad and low! My loyal archer hate Volunteered to use his bow! Hope indeed appeared And brought dew instead of tears Here a parth revealed But it is me, left here, to struggle through the night... Wisdom weaved a web and there it carefully laid salvation and sacrifice 8. Stride The Corridors Of One's Mind A story about a story told before... Questions to answer and no answers to a question asked before What advantage does a man have as he labors all his life under the sun ? As the wind lashes and time evades Forth comes the wind circles and goes forth back again... To nurse or planet an orchid only to remain with seeds again to built, and harvest thin air... Carried away by spirits carried away... Perennial pain, night tears, rain and the sun in her place again Places unknown to man, and man who don't know their place Carried away by the spirits, carried away... The dead son of the dead No memories of the first and the last leaves no memory The wise is buried aside the fool A generation comes and withers away and the land forever standing The end is set, and so is the beginning Rather die as a lion, then live as a dog Rather go with a blast, and then fade to the fog To dream all night long, and awake at a bog Evil feeds on good, who breeds evil again Saw the dance insane Saw slaves on horses (and lords on foot) Riches turn to hay Minds and bone decay I saw flesh burning! The mortal coil-rendered into ash Oh all statues stoic, but hide a brutal demise The days of long since past... and old I have become All that was promised has turned to dust Hymns and prayers have come to pass Subdued and addicted, so perplexed, alas! And man within the mind's corridors-lost Saw the sounds and heard the sights I've seen the sounds, and I've heard the sights Nothing matters but myriad moments of grace... 9. Velvet Demise Cold, frost beaten heart A chasm of chills Stone-mind Bleeds futile Dreams Steel-eyes Dull all these years Stagnation A wrecked man-child collapses into himself Just to emerge to a miserable conscious back again Stagnation... And the songs of reason subside Their voice-distant Deep within thy depths Dead within the deep A silent dirge Buried inside a human casket Crystallized Strike of strike Whip-tongue chastise Some strangle, some chain And other aim to burn Until every vein and bone are crystallized In the vast green garden where Tears and trees and fears grow I can be found between the pages Where the wind of fear blows In the bleak meadows of the past Pain and pebbles lie low There lies the answer to my daily demise And I celebrate a decade of disease 1000 steps lead straight to ethereal bliss And millions of trails lead To this hollow-graphic hard core Soul shredding masterpiece and none Could aid and nowhere to run Ashes To rise from the pyre Reconstruction Another lazarus engulfed by a blue fire To rebuild and from earth's wonders Rejuvenate or remain scattered ashes Yet there comes a time When fleeting moments leave A tender mark on the skin And cut straight down your spine Maybe after all this is done And such horror-sickness will be gone I will get "myself" back to be "mine"... And we will claim ourselves From the dying sons 10. Dreaming...Dementia In the midst of a trip where mind& heart meet At its darkest form Where several world beat In mist, erupts passion Where past motions set remorse Energy flows in a shapeless course And sorrow forged in fire There a diamond burning, truth appears, flaming A void circles you And yearns for your sleep to ever last All your reaches for a smile You bleed for the sweetness of a laughter All your days for a night of lucid dreams All screams for silence I hear your voice and i know your pain... Let time bend Run or stand Let it end let it end...
