Novembers Doom - The Novella Reservoir lyrics



Tracks



01. Rain

Becoming one with madness, a chaos to embrace
Struggling for my sanity, clear skies turning gray
My demons stand before me, and taunt my every thought
The only way to cleanse my soul, is drown my dirt with rain

Water now engulfs me, it burns my sins away
Enemy preys upon my flesh as darkness burns the sky
Surface drifting further, taken from my sight
The only way to cleanse my soul, is drown my dirt with rain

No one to save me, a promise to be made
For heartsick memories, below the murky wake

In shallow water, I will drown unfeigned
My death knell rings below the flood
To wash away my sins of yesterday
And give me the chance to murder your name again

Becoming one with madness, a chaos to embrace
Struggling for my sanity, clear skies turning gray
My demons stand before me, and taunt my every thought
The only way to cleanse my soul, is drown my dirt with rain

In shallow water, I will drown unfeigned
My death knell rings below the flood
To wash away my sins of yesterday
And give me the chance to murder your name again

02. The Novella Reservoir

Hurtful summoning of Gods left behind
And with great cause you'll suffer in pain
Your words fall upon deaf ears
Never again to swallow the lies

You're not the savior of this world, a simple life has come to pass
You're not the answer to my faith, I'll never give you what you need

I am the darkness in your dreams
Your vile heart keeps me alive
After all the pain that you've been through
Do you believe that he'll be there for you?

You're not the savior of this world, a simple life has come to pass
You're not the answer to my faith, I'll never give you what you need

Novella reservoir tortures me, only the broken remain

Final days arrive and the curtain drops
The only face you'll see is that of shame
Where do you think he gets his strength?
Drawn from the mindless and empty as them

You're not the savior of this world, a simple life has come to pass
You're not the answer to my faith, I'll never give you what you need

03. Drown The Inland Mere

A gray line divides where the shadows blur
There is nothing left within your empty smile
Nothing will change, the tide will still rise

Hold me under water
Drown the inland mere

Into this darkness I forever hold my loss
Only a moments time to scream my name

A shell of what I was, I'll never let you go
After all you said in vein, a weaker soul am I
This is my final struggle, this is my dying day

Hold me under water
Drown the inland mere

Into this darkness I forever hold my loss
Only a moments time to scream my name

No brother to man who rapes his own
A cell to rot the fabric of flesh
Why are you still smiling?
It's pity I feel for the life that's yours

The haunting voice of liberated souls
The death knell proudly chimes
Nothing but slaves in the unwilling fall

Hold me under water
Drown the inland mere

Into this darkness I forever hold my loss
Only a moments time to scream my name

04. Twilight Innocence

I wonder what she dreams about?
Perhaps my arms that hold her tight?
Or the love that warms her heart?
Peaceful sleep till dawns new day

I will always keep watch over you
To keep you safe when you are scared

Before her sleep, she lies awake
With wonder and angelic thought
So much to learn in one lifetime
Hand in hand we'll walk for hours

When the water becomes to deep
I'll be the one who pulls you free

Your dreams Inspire me to be the best man I can be
To never let you down and make you proud of me
Someday you'll be on your own
Memories will make you smile
Think back to those dreams to remember me

I wonder what she dreams about?
Perhaps my arms that hold her tight?
Or the love that warms her heart?
Peaceful sleep till dawns new day

I will always keep watch over you
To keep you safe when you are scared

05. The Voice Of Failure

I struggle to reach above the fault, In the same moment of collapse
Born to suffer by the fate of this world, come with me now, and bleed

Visions of the promised land, I close my eyes and angels die
No man alive can stop the bleed, and now I hear the voice of failure

A deeper hunger I have for fear, we're bound to the eyes of his plea
Fingers running across my scars, the beauty of my lonely heart

Visions of the promised land, I close my eyes and angels die
No man alive can stop the bleed, and now I hear the voice of failure

The tempted drag me down where weakness feigned
I harvest the only face I can and swim through the mire

Time heals the wounds of sorrow, the undertow of deaths becoming
I've been searching for battles won, dusk is falling, sunlight drowns

Visions of the promised land, I close my eyes and angels die
No man alive can stop the bleed, and now I hear the voice of failure

06. They Were Left To Die

Drawn upon insight to purify
Voices call to a sinners world

One by one, gagged and bound
Hollow eyes, they were left to die

Right from wrong, lines divide
Black and White, obey his word
Follow the path those blindly walk
Life of fear for the dying weak

One by one, gagged and bound
Hollow eyes, they were left to die

No remorse for tales told
Cities burned in perfect wrath
Cleansing life for eternal bliss
Paradise for those who fall

One by one, gagged and bound
Hollow eyes, they were left to die

Drawn upon insight to purify
Voices call to a sinners world

Glimmer of white to pierce the throat
Crestfallen, you're the only one
Bathe in moonlight against his law
The cold grip of lust is powerless

Will you repent and follow his lead
Before time steals the only life you have
Beaten and torn, displayed for spite
The strong are nailed and cast aside

One by one, gagged and bound
Hollow eyes, they were left to die

07. Dominate The Human Strain

Where has your savior gone to, for now he's left you here alone
The aftermath of natures hand, striking down the weak and frail

Dominate the human strain

A judgement day has come upon us, to separate the right and wrong
The fear of God in your solitude, creates this hell born faceless mask

Bathe in the blood of his name, the elders crutch will crucify
Dominate the human strain, carry on this reckless farce

There is no turning back now, the flood will carry in the filth
Eyes will close to hide the truth, jagged words deform this hope

Bathe in the blood of his name, the elders crutch will crucify
Dominate the human strain, carry on this reckless farce

I have remained faithful to the cause, Save me, Save me!

Where has your savior gone to, for now he's left you here alone
The aftermath of natures hand, striking down the weak and frail

Bathe in the blood of his name, the elders crutch will crucify
Dominate the human strain, carry on this reckless farce

08. Leaving This

For many years you've been my life, I've been thankful for our time
From rainy days to snow filled nights, you've always been there for me

And nows the time I say farewell, for I'm leaving this all behind me
To walk away with tears and pride, mourn not the loss, honor the memory

For lives I've touched, and those returned, this was only a moment in time
I need you to know before I'm gone, It's always been for you

And nows the time I say farewell, for I'm leaving this all behind me
To walk away with tears and pride, mourn not the loss, honor the memory

I will miss our days of glory, along with the hardship and loss
It's all been a friend to me, in the end, this reflection I'll embrace

And nows the time I say farewell, for I'm leaving this all behind me
To walk away with tears and pride, mourn not the loss, honor the memory
