Ophis
Stream of Misery
1. Godforsaken
Sick perverted deities
Vain and irate
Spitting on pride
Kings of decay
Mandatory self-denial
Wallow in filth
Like cattle, like pigs
Bow to excrement
Crawl at their feet
To their amusement, sick with disease
Their shining golden masks
Conceal the putrid faces
Disgusting choirs
Swarms of flies darken the bleeding sky
For they herald the arrival of Heaven
Unclimbable monolithic towers
Effigies of desolation
The slaughter keeps going on
Until all your pride is taken
I am proud to be
Godforsaken
2. Beneath Sardonic Skies
Swarm of ravens
Beneath sardonic skies
Carry the tunes
Of the jaded flute
Pale is his face
Lifeless his eyes
Slow are his steps
Marching through town
Deafening silence
Pierced by the call of his song
Women weep in tears
Men fall to their knees
Sweep through the air
Ring through the ears of the crowd
Sombre man in rags
They dance in the streets
To the rhythm of sorrow
And the only sound
Is the whispering of their tears
In silence they follow
Craving for death
They die in delight
Beneath sardonic skies
3. Dead Inside
Dead inside
My decomposing mind
Where nothing lives or thrives
Internal abscence of life
Why did you hurt me
And why did you hurt me again
Why is it still there
And why is it burning within
Dead inside
My emotions petrified
Where Spes and Amor die
And passion’s sterilized
Awaiting the blow
The burst of a trigger inside
But the sound is just hollow
Because the embers have died
When lungs are breathing
And tongues are speaking
When hearts are beating
And blood is leaking
That doesn’t mean a thing
Dead inside
My emotions petrified
Where Spes and Amor die
And passion’s sterilized
Dead inside
My decomposing mind
Where nothing lives or thrives
Internal abscence of life
4. Pazuzu
Pazuzu - Lord of all fevers and plague
Bursting through - our intestines and souls
Our doom - by plague and hatred you're spawned
From Anu - almighty demon lord
Gaping jaws - behind your festering breath
Howl in pain - four-winged dark angel ascend
Pestilence - master lord of disease
Bringer of suffering
Blackest son - your pain eternal
Graceless one - enriched with anger and hate
Foul king - demon god of the sick
Lurk in darkness !!!
5. Dolor Nil Finis
Versa est in luctum
Cithara mea
Et organum
In vocem flentium
Parce mihi Domine
Nihil enim
Sunt dies mei
6. Black Wish
Oh how I long
For your happiness to end
The scale to take a turn
Your lights to fade away
With bloodshot eyes behold
The crawling of your senses
You shall be crushed
Crushed!!!
All that you love
Shall turn into ashes
All that you care for
Reduced to nothingness
All that is precious
Devoured by emptiness
All your colours
Shall turn black
All your melodies shall lose their tunes
And your laughter shall be mute
Your ever fleeting river of life
Shall become a stream of misery
Endlessly downwards
Raging, but silent
Silent my smile
Warm are my eyes
Waiting in patience
For the seal of my fury to break
7. Thy Flesh Consumed
Screams from the depths beyond
Chants of grief in sickening tunes
Life – an obscenity
A joke perverse, a twisted lie
Blood pours from my wrist
For it shall wet the dried-out ground
Hell, thy mouth devour me
Consume my flesh, erase my soul
Storms of suicidal vibes
The urge to end this suffering
Yet we will not find peace
In our sleep, our endless night
Dormant spirits arise from their sleep
Haunting, hunting
Never leave me be
Resurrected nightmares tear at me
Tristis est anima mea
