Aphonic Threnody / Ennui
Immortal in Death
1. Aphonic Threnody - Ruins
Truth is so hard to swallow
We've been prisoners of your lies for so long
That reality is just a drop of water in a sea of salt
We've been praying your god
We've been kneeling in front of your saints
We paid our life for your gold
We missjudged your true self
Centuries of pain inflicted by your blind rage
Mind devoted to tons of tales
here your light shines over the light of the day
Nations abandoned, people dying
Children suffering, mothers crying
Where's your truth now?
While your holy war is coming
Your crusade against all hope
Your annihilation of the world
Behold the children
Look at those children still walking amongst the ruins
You have left ruins in their hearts
Wounds won't heal for them
Suckin' life from infected breasts
You have left ruins in their hearts
Feed your hate to those mindless men
They drink the blood like parasites on pale sick skin
They march from heaven bringin' hell
Then are the plague spreading in the land
All of those deaths and tears
like snow flakes on dark black earth
Preach your bitter lies you "holy" men
It's upon your god who must be condemned
Nourishin' in filth, we lived of those lies
While children were dying, our eyes dry soar
We forgot how to cry
Kill me now, I don't wanna see them dying
I cannot stand such cruelty
I cannot stand them crying
I cannot watch them dying...
You can see them thru TV screens
You can hear them in your painful dreams
Children calling your names while you've turned your backs away
A shiver like a touch of fever
They are crying helpless from clouds of dust
All of those deaths and tears
You have left ruins in their hearts
Wounds won't heal for them
Suckin’ life from infected breasts
You have left ruins in their hearts
All of those deaths and tears
like snow flakes on dark black earth
2. Ennui - Hopeless
[Note: Only the English lyrics are provided in the booklet. However, the song is not sung in English, but probably in Georgian.]
A whole life is miserably crashing
like ancient monuments of a once living epoch
collapse under the heavy wing of infinite time
Dust of the past years has blinded men's eyes
marking the boundaries of their fears
So purposeless and miserable, their search for a higher truth
for something better than themselves
Everything that once you knew
everything that once you appreciated
is now laying in black oceans of lies
Thousands of days will pass, thousands of dreams will die
but you cannot drown all the pain in those depth
Aimless effort, vain hopes like a frightened animal grumbling rushed away
A stream of eternity unable to fill the void of your words
Human's life - the death sentence, signed at birth into this world...
and eyes devoid of life, blinded by illusions...
Inside of you a coward soul, you deny the truth frightened for a non-existent god
gripping the cross with wrinkled hands from which the shine of life has gone
...And in the darkness, in which we always dwell, you will not find anyone
who would listen to your moaning and dissolve your suffering
Wipe your tears and reflect in the emptiness of death…
Forsaken, as you always were
Never lived, just forgotten
And here is the world, as it always was
Observing the light passing away
It tells us to be who we really are, freedom never lasts long enough
Ruins upon the scorched earth
splintered remains in death's rebirth
Life of man is like a crowd of worms
Like worms feeding on you in your grave
Silently disappointed, we observe our sanity passing away
