Nachtmystium
The World We Left Behind
1. Intrusion
[Instrumental]
2. Fireheart
After the storm, he rises from the ashes
Lust, soulless being
Into the unknown, he roams
Vengefully seeking, stolen time
Fireheart! Blazing bright
Fireheart! Resurrected this night
Fireheart! Reborn
Fireheart! Tearing down this world of scorn
I've returned...from the lowest realms
Taken a journey through my own personal hell
This knowledge is gained, this pride is earned
From walking the forbidden line and embracing the fucking burn
Nothing of this world can stop me
Leprous, underling serfs...
You can't kill this iron strong will
Beneath and below...eternally
3. Voyager
Through all these years, after enduring so much
Place after place, month after month
Taking a moment to reflect
To decide what is next
Here I stand, a mere fragment in time
Is any of this real? Is this not all a lie?
Trampled and crushed, risen and praised
This never-ending journey is a constant maze
Striding along, year after year
This is my calling, there is no fear
Go at it alone, if I must!
No one can never take away this lust!
The vicious cycle of reverence
A hellish ride of deceit
Never know who to trust
Will you be here tomorrow or disappear into time and dust?
Here I stand, a mere fragment in time
Is any of this real? Is this not all a lie?
Trampled and crushed, risen and praised
This never-ending journey is a constant maze
Striding along, year after year
This is my calling, there is no fear
Go at it alone, if I must!
No one can never take away this lust
Here I stand, a mere fragment in time
Is any of this real? Is this not all a lie?
Trampled and crushed, risen and praised
This never-ending journey is a constant maze
Striding along, year after year
This is my calling, there is no fear
Go at it alone, if I must!
No one can never take away this lust
4. Into The Endless Abyss
The demon has awaken once again
Slumberness, he has risen
Taking my hand, together we walk
To the same old ground... to bring me down
This does not end
Find yourself alone again
Crippling pain endless unrest
Never are you to sleep again
This lonely place where I find a twisted peace
Lurking in the shadows, away from all life
It is always here for me... it is always here for me...
This does not end
Find yourself alone again
Crippling pain endless unrest
Never are you to sleep again
The immortal fell into this mortal hell...
When will you see?
This life can not be...
And when you open your eyes...
Witness the devastation of deception and lies
The immortal fell... into this mortal hell...
5. In The Absence Of Existence
No grace, no love
No anything, no eternal muse
I'm here in fear
No light, no joy
Every day, the same
This life is no life
Faced with fire, diseased, I cry
Never a moment to be away
Trapped in this absence of existence
Hidden away, alone I pray for a quick death every day
Never a moment to get away
Locked in this absence of existence
Out of the way, day after day
Withering away to nothing
Extinct, burned out. Nothing to talk about
Wasting away, losing time
Dying inside every day am I
Why am I still here?
Never a moment to be away
Trapped in this absence of existence
Hidden away, alone I pray for a quick death every day
Never a moment to get away
Locked in this absence of existence
Out of the way, day after day
Withering away to nothing
6. The World We Left Behind
The hours came
The decision was made
To leave this all forever
[Chorus:]
The world we left behind
All we loved
All we held
The world we left behind
Gone now...
As we dive into hell
An abyss opens wide
Just before my eyes
An endless darkness
An absent space
[Chorus]
Black horizon dawns
On a highway to nowhere
Whore it leads no one knows
But were never coming home
[Chorus]
7. Tear You Down
You didn't see me coming, and you never will
I am the poison apple, the forbidden fruit
Come, eat from the tree
It will nourish your soul
Take your fill... I am now in total control
You're in my world now...
A place of mystery
Where there is no free will
Destroying you... it's me
Come... walk with me
Down this path to greatness!
Where you'll live forever... I promise
This is mine, this is me! Tear you down, set you free
Can't you see my greatness? My wrath? My prey...
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Can't you see my greatness? My wrath? My prey!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Can't you see my greatness? My wrath? My prey!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you down! Set you free!
Tear you fucking down!!!
8. On The Other Side
On the other side I have survived
Didn’t think it be
The hardest path I’ve ever walked
Alive again, alive as me
A frequal journey
I wish I never known
Lost myself
Lost everything
Lost my soul
On the other side I have survived
Didn’t think it be
The hardest path I’ve ever walked
Alive again, alive as me
Trapped in mental [?] place
For too many years
Never going back
Never going fucking back
I am free
On the other side I have survived
Didn’t think it be
The hardest path I’ve ever walked
Alive again, alive as me
No more sickness
No more struggle
Can’t believe I did this
But today it’s gone
On the other side I have survived
Didn’t think it be
The hardest path I’ve ever walked
Alive again, alive as me
9. Epitaph For A Dying Star
Desperate again.
Fading away
like a setting sun
at the end of its days.
These voices of decay
taking me away.
When you no longer see.
When you no longer feel.
The ride is coming to an end
and you're ready to transcend;
to escape into the distance again.
No more pain.
No more days.
To escape...
To transcend...
This ends here in peace.
As you reflect
on all the things you have left behind,
making certain peace with your world and walk on.
When you no longer see.
When you no longer feel.
The ride is coming to an end
and you're ready to transcend;
to escape into the distance again.
No more pain.
No more days.
To escape...
To transcend...
This ends here in peace.
