Shardfigures 10. Insomnia 1. Ghastly Indoctrination In mysterious ways your soul sinks down As eerie constellations told of it before This time you cannot hide A maelstrom of inhuman fears And the only way goes down... down... down... Gone days of phantasmagoria Welcome to the necromantic gallery Where nightmares become so real And souls are stigmatized with the sign of impurity Misshapen silhouettes so awake Black faces and only shades of grey Distorted incarnations And prayers for aeons unheard In wastelands of delusion Desolation all around Welcome to the promised land Where no single beam of light ever touched the ground Life eternal in a traumatic fade Believe me this is not a dream These dead eyes you are gazing at are yours Call it heaven, call it hell... This is where the restless dwell! 2. Catawomb O the ruins of Utopia once again Subterranean elegy, anthem from beyond the grave The elements in change, everything is lost Bound onto the aevum, the empty space my host Bemoan the loss of life, but the end just stays the same For this pathetic path I walk awaits you all one single day The aftermath of death, the loss of body and soul Life... the epitome of affliction Nihil Ex Nihilo Life without end? Postmortem empiricism, the only thing that remains Life is paint, but death betrayed me just the same 13 candles on my grave but the memory is gone 13 candles flickering in the distance As emptiness melts with my soul Death is just a different path, but the pictures stay the same 3. Requiem Grotesque "De profundis clamavi ad te domine Domine ex ordi vocem meam Tianc auris ture e intendentis In vocem deprecationes meae Requiem aeternam dona eis domine Et lux perpetua luceat deis Requiescant in pace" Grotesque visions of paradise Death bells chime for my soul's demise Sharing eternity with the parasites All alone with my cries Embedded in silk my corpse, Enshrouded in silence my soul... Is this your god's paradise?! Thought death may heal the wounds But nothing can ease the pain As I linger in my casket Dreaming of death's domain... 4. While They Sleep Life - capitulation Death - salvation Welcome to the nightmare Twenty four / seven Numb reflections of a dying mind The will to exist long before declined Thus I leave this mass grave earth behind When everything seems so trivial, I take a look at you Children of scorn... when souls search for their haven Your dreams become the portal Beyond the corridors of thoughts I languish, downcast... somehow dying, laughing Beyond the subconscious realms of the beyond I linger Once mourned, now forgotten Life - capitulation Death - disconsolation Whenever I thought "there's a light below" The night became darker than ever before While you sleep, the dead whisper a lullaby Deeper into the night I go Suicide was the key For sure, this must be The way to Hell While they sleep, I whisper a lullaby Suicide was the key For sure, this must be The way to Hell 5. To Harvest The Artefacts Of Mockery The innocent skies torn asunder Again the clock strikes 12 Opened the channel to your mind I am the voice of egoism The icon of arrogance It's the devil inside of me Celestial apostasy I am the one fallen from grace Unleash sadistic retribution Reminiscence of cvhaos now revealed A spiritual vacuum can't be broken But an angstridden soul can be dejected Until there's nothing left of it Every night a part of you is dying Paranormal obsession... this is the art of taking lives Every night your soul is crying Paranormal oppression... this it the way of sardonic tyranny 6. Poltergeist Face my shadow on the walls A phantom of despite The 4th dimension terror I am the one denied I am the nightmare knockin' on your door Cursed for aeons, death's disciple I am the eerie cold touchin' your skin Cursed for aeons, life's denial I am the phenomenon from beyond I am the light leading your through the dark I am the dark leading you astray I am the complex voice inside your head Have you ever wondered Why all this has got to be? Have you ever wondered Why you shiver at night? Have you ever wondered Why the invisible makes you afraid? This is when our worlds collide This is when I crush your soul This is when souls can't rest at night This is insanity incarnated 7. Revolution: Vanity Submissions of the 4th dimension machinery Key to my soul's tranquility Archetype of my ascendancy Relinquish evanescent structures of humanity Shapeless, into a darkened spiral I fade The ignorance of man my masquerade Metamorphosis of a stillborn creation Opened wide my soul for spiritual illumination Flesh, the quintessence of vanity Spirit, the ultimate evolution of sanity I am the secret, isolated in worlds beyond I am the horror, the art of demand 8. Incide "The last horrendous error of a soul tortured irretrievably into insanity by A horde of disembodied demons: rather than being the last desperate way out The granted death wish removes the last physical protection and renders the Soul completely helpless in the demon's own astral territory..." 9. Shardfigures All my life I searched for thee To make me feel complete But only bitterness spoke to me In a language I had to learn throughout the years All my life I was wandering through the dark Without any spark of hope Never knew, where I belonged Weary of life and jaded It was just too late to turn around All my life I felt alone No matter where I've gone There's never a place for someone else In the portrait of a lifeless soul All my life I searched for death To make me feel alive Now as he came for me I've realized, that I was just too blind too see In the I search again for thee To erase this painfully memory These words of disconsolation For they shall be my legacy 10. Insomnia I drown... For too long I felt the winter's breath The rain keeps falling down into my soul Thorns cover my grave... they hurt within me I wonder how death shall be eternal sleep When I cannot close my eyes I wonder how death shall ever set me free When there's even in this darkness no place for us to be Wish I could kill myself again The spectral lights would fade away And I... A thousand voices in my mind A thousand empty faces starring at me A thousand lies I can't forget And one single life. A thousand lies I can't forget, And one single life I do regret. The only thing left of me... an aura cold and blue. As the banshees embrace me, Embrace me with a sigh. I do regret. I am gone... The autumn's song is guiding me With the sound of the weeping rain I fall asleep And the thorns, that cover my grave? They hurt no more I wonder how death shall be eternal slave When I cannot close my eyes I wonder how death shall ever set me free When there's even in this darkness no place for us to be. The only thing left of me... an aura cold and blue. As the banshees embrace me, Embrace me with a sigh.
