Dawn Of Disease Procession of Ghosts 1. Lapsarian Fallen from the skies The spirits will arise Fallen without a belief The ghosts have come to relief us all 2. Procession of Ghosts As the spirits fall from the skies The congregation proceeds As the last light dies We step into the shade of ghosts Merging with the fallen Those who find no rest We hear their whisper calling Breathe in the night (at last) Follow us Into the procession of ghosts Unite with them Where the way back to light will be closed Rising from the skies The spirits will arise Revelation of the vagueness The shade of ghosts embraces us Merging with the fallen Those who find no rest We hear their whisper calling Breathe in the night at last Procession of ghosts Our fate are the lost Follow us Into the procession of ghosts Unite with them Where the way back to light is now closed Summon the intangible Those who find no rest Unite with the fallen Become the shade of ghosts At last 3. May the Waves Take Me Standing at the seaside Gazing into the distance The ocean and me Have always been connected Here where I stand The coast is steep and rugged I try to remember What it felt like To touch the water For the first time Just a few steps left for me To swim into eternity And part myself From here May the waves take me To a world below To an ulterior abyss Where warmth embraces my soul May the thought break me The taste still sleeps in there I feel the ocean reaching out for me Our fate to share Although the waters’ cold bites me I continue my way forth The tide begins to rise Water fills my lungs Eventually we become one After all these years Just a few steps left for me To swim into eternity I part myself From time May the waves take me down May the thought break me The taste still sleeps in there These were the last steps for me To swim into eternity Nothing is left That I would ever miss 4. Shrine Ancient is the knowledge that they bear Unbeknownst is the secret that they keep Invisible revelation of all holiness Cast thy spell to give them order Open the shrine The offering transcends everything Which thy material creation ever spawned Temple of the ancient knowledge Thy secret inconceivable for the ignorant Open the shrine The key to your mind Cast thy spell to give us order! Open the shrine Ancient is the knowledge that we bear Unbeknownst is the secret that we keep Thy holiness shall revelate itself to us Our sacrifice materializes thou 5. Where the Clouds Reach the Ground There exists a place Forgotten by time Its echo inexorably grows In the presence of the silent giants A clandestine entanglement Of two worlds Disparate Yet equal There exists a place That is covered in snow Eternally yet finite Impossible for the eyes to see Numbing all senses The periphery inclines To prevail Over thoughts and words Where the clouds reach the ground There is nothing but silence Where the vastness is profound Night and day bear eternity Where the mind reaches the heart The soul is left in memories Quiet and shallow lies the mound Where the clouds reach the ground No one passes the edges No one treads Across the threshold Of this silent place Foreseeing the end On eternal ground Entangled in a state Familiar yet unknown The snow-covered land That harbours the mound It leaves no choice Than to walk this path alone No one passes the threshold Of this silent place There is no more choice Than to walk this path alone 6. As Heaven Shatters As heaven shatters Splinters cover the earth As the sky scatters Shards bury the world Fragments of the universe Broken lie the stars Remnants of the pantheon Illusions into dust As heaven shatters The night returns As the sky scatters The firmament burns The darkest visions Will be exceeded The prophecy Will bring unlasting downfall On the brink of the final eclipse In a rain of slivers The end manifests As cracks across the sky Wash away the illusions Shroud all hopes Cover the earth And devour the world The night returns In a storm of flames The firmament burns A downfall of dying planets On the brink of the final eclipse In a rain of slivers The end manifests As cracks across the sky On the edge of the final collapse The world is buried As heaven shatters Broken lies the kingdom Heaven to splinters Scattered lies the sky Shards bury the world As heaven shatters 7. Autumn Days Do you remember the time When the sun filled our hearts with brightness? Now the last embers decline Leaving us all in a gloomy darkness Storms and rain have guided us Far into the unknown Again the autumn has come to reap What all of us once have sown Season of haze Divide our ways Autum days bring gloom and sadness We all have to go From the rivers of life to the mountains of silence Once and for all Autum days bring gloom and darkness For winter nights to come When the cold is calling out our names It's time to come home The last leaves of hope Are falling from the trees of bitterness While the wind’s cold hands Take our breath away Heralds of winter The air is shivering Swallowing the sun’s last ray Autumn will lead us astray Season of haze Count your last days Season of gloom Now we meet our doom When the cold calls out our names Calling out our names Into the dark Calling out our names (To light life’s last spark) Autum days bring gloom and sadness We all have to go From the rivers of life to the mountains of silence Once and for all Autum days bring gloom and darkness For winter nights to come Now that the cold has called out our names We all will come home The cold has called out our names We face the autumn days 8. Apotropaic Evil are the spirits That enter in you now It was long before The birth of your saviour When they were created To bring harm upon mankind Symbolic actions Rituals of magic The curse has been Set upon you Protection against the scourge There is no grace No shelter in this Haunted creature Bid farewell to your faith While you are taken By the wraith Even if you are buried alive With stones on your chest The apparition that has entered you Will never find rest 9. In Death We Blast In death we blast! We come from the hill of destiny We come from the valley of the damned United we carry the flag We head towards The place of eternity We cross the boundaries Of each land Nothing can ever tear us apart If we just trust the blackness in our heart We come from where the shadows dwell Where night prevailed the day No one needs to guide our way From heaven down to hell We are all different But in spirit we are all the same It is nothing less than the world That we claim Together we walk this trail... Across all frontiers The spirit never dies Our disease is spreading More than fast We fight our fears We fight the lies United to the last There is one thing for certain In death we blast Watch the dawn Of this disease And join Our unstoppable armies The time will come When you see the last sun May today become this day That you follow us on our way This union will last forever In death we blast together In death we blast! 10. Hypnosis I feel a cold distance That separates me from myself An indistinct mask Has been layed upon me Unable to act Trapped inside this shell Locked up in a cage of illusion The cold and distant hell Paralyzed Mesmerized Again the pendulum Struck me Its weight more Than a single human can ever carry The slightest noise Struggles to be perceived To wake me up And let me be relieved Falling down the spiral I cannot face the day The night has given An unfathomable gravity Entwines me deep inside Unable to leave this trance My cataleptic mind Hypnosis covers me And leaves me behind I cannot face the day Count down from three Hypnosis covers me My cataleptic mind To release me Entwines me deep inside Falling down the spiral In this maze Paralyzed And mesmerized
