Forgotten Tomb
Nightfloating
1. Nightfloating
Wanderer through the mist
Flowing like blood from the wrists
Silent desolate void
A journey there's no way to avoid
Nightfloating
Gold for the escapist mind
Leaving men's filth far behind
Floating through the waves of the night
Rotten earth's out of sight
Nightfloating
Opal black seas
Swallow all life
Cease to exist
Sweet final embrace
Like heroin flowing in your veins
Float away into the night
2. A Chill That You Can't Taint
The atrocities of daylight
No dreams survive in these dirty streets
When lights get dimmer and days get shorter
I get derailed
Out in the cold
Battered and old
Caught up in life's tight stranglehold
Castaway on a desert island
I used to call my soul
Reality hits harder
when hopes are shining brighter
Succumbing to the weight of my impossible dreams
Deafening isolation - A self-imposed costraint
Suspended animation - A chill that you can't taint
Out in the cold
Battered and old
Caught up in life's tight stranglehold
Castaway on a desert island
I used to call my soul - I used to call myself
A surge of hungry eyes
I need a new disguise
You serve too many masters
No sycophants can break the mold
Castaway
I'm a castaway
This ain't what I envisioned
It's time for swift decisions
Living the nightmare ain't a fancy affair
Lost in the ether and I don't care
Whatever lurks out there
It counts that I'm still one step ahead of you
3. This Sickness Withered My Heart
Slowly it crawls from the graves,
the burial ground of my soul
Thick as malevolent fog
to poison what's left to corrupt
Consciousness bleeds
like a gaping wound
Strangling the weak ghost of hope
Facing the abyss of what I became
A despicable creature of scorn
I murdered what was left untainted within
This human shell's gone, like a snake shedding its skin
Feeling malignancy's clutch
twisting my guts inside out
Deserted floor of my mind
haunted by spectres of smiles
A will to do harm, destroying your lives
The voices I welcome tonight
they come alive when dusk is long gone
Darkness reflecting my gaze
I murdered what was left untainted within
This human shell's gone, like a snake shedding its skin
This sickness withered my heart
This sickness defines what I became
4. Unsafe Spaces
Confused minds and faint beliefs
The smear campaign's elite
You're the culture to be cancelled
Enslaved to self-deceit
Don the avenger mask
Fond of your own lies
Manipulated herd
No way out from this world
There won't be safe places to hide
When the tables will get turned
A breed of weaklings, strenght in numbers
Conveniently unnamed
Subdued by an ideology
Orchestrated to defame
You whine to draw attention
Since nobody could care less
Then use prevarication
while you sell it as progress
Don the avenger mask
Fond of your own lies
Manipulated herd
No way out from this world
There won't be safe places to hide
When the tables will get turned
1st SOLO - Ferdinando
2nd SOLO - Jöschu
Unsafe spaces
No safe spaces to hide yourselves
5. Drifting
6. A Despicable Gift
Monoliths of concrete
Tombs with windows you live in
Subjugated poisoned cattle
Hidden behind empty grins
Monochromatic vision
Staring blankly through the swarm
A pointless race towards the end
of yours and all life forms
A despicable gift
A despicable gift
Longing for bereavement
Anticipating loss
A meaningless existence
The longest bridge to cross
Grey frustration takes its toll
To gasp for air within four walls
Life's a sentence to atone for
An ordeal to be deplored
A despicable gift
A despicable gift
Your life's a despicable gift
Your life's like a whore
who goes through the motions, weak and sore
The narcissistic gods you adore
Await you to even the score
A despicable gift
Existences adrift
A despicable gift
No reason to exist
SLIDE SOLO - Ferdinando
SOLO - Jöschu
A despicable gift
A despicable gift
Your life's a despicable gift
