Fall Of Serenity - Royal Killing lyrics



Tracks



01. Thirst For Knowledge

Victim of my thirst for knowledge
Chemical burns on tender flesh
My gullible girl - you walk with me
Towards painful death

Acid rains on silken skin
Like tears the drops fall down on you;
Too gentle to resist; your skin gives in
I'm a witness of instant decay

Although there's pity; I will stay hard
A disoensable life for the sake of science
I must see the end; I must see the beginning
To understand eternal pain

Acid rains on silken skin
Like tears the drops fall down on you;
Too gentle to resist; your skin gives in
I'm a witness of instant decay

Your beginning is real; so is your death
I study the suffering; your fluttering eyelids;
The spasms of chemically burned flesh
Smoke rising from your open wounds

Now you lay there; not what
You used to be; burned
And dead; my thirst is eased for now;
On my way to new horizons; you had to
Pay the fare believe me; you won't stay
Alone; my quest goes on...

02. Royal Killing

Woken up by bloodred tide
That is storming in my mind
Crushing; smashing all the barricades
I open my eyes; not afraid to see

Beyond recognition; a world of hate
Full of fake compassion; fake sympathy
No one is innocent; nothing is pure
I've lost my faith in humanity

And all that could have been
Falls apart behind the haze
I face bare reality when
The chaos breaks down

With growing anger; I clench my fists
A royal killing on my mind

03. Falling Apart

I've seen your face a thousand times
In thousand sleepless nights
Come closer now; with open arms
My nightmare incarnate

Embrace me now and hold me tight;
Your cold flesh makes my skin crawl
I'd kill myself to be close to you;
My nightmare incarnate

One bloody kiss will seal my fate;
I'm longing for your touch
Your swollen lips creep towards mine;
My nightmare incarnate

Steal my breath; my soul and more
My existence at your feet;
Life is worth nothing without you;
My nightmare incarnate

But the rotten skin crumbles
As I gently caress your face;
Your beauty is falling apart
I fell for a lie; you're dead inside

My nightmare incarnate

04. Mask Of Hatred

Look me in the face and lie to me again
Give me a smile behind your mask of hatred
Are you still alive or a slave to yourself?

True self, distorted to a grimace
Tell me who you are, a stranger to yourself
Chaos rules your mind
But you're still breathing
Open your eyes to make the blind ones see

Too weak to live too loud to remain silent
It's hard to tell what's real and what's a dream
My biggest fear is to become a part of you

No reason to stand still - follow your way
Don't run behind - be your own master
Stretch out your hand and touch the sky

05. The Forthcoming

You burned my bridges;
Enslaved my fears
To reach the depraved;
That kills itself

In chaos we trust; torn by our own hands

My own nightmare becomes flesh;
Own intellect feeds the anger;
No one was chosen
To be holy or different

To reach eternal freedom
My future decisions
Will make you cry eternally;
Protect your soul against the forthcoming

In chaos we trust; torn by our own hands

To reach eternal freedom
My future decisions
Will make you cry eternally;
Protect your soul against the forthcoming

(Displace the unity of false decisions!
Forbidden ones - can't you hear the
Silent cries?)

06. Children Of A Dying Breed

Since we found out
That we're nothing more than
Children of a dying breed
Bitterness consumes all thoughts

We inherited the mayhem
And the dying breed spitefully grins
We inherited the chaos
And the burden of a million sins

The dying breed that spat us out
Sadistically grinning on its deathbed
Let us suffer the pain of ageless chaos
Of destruction evoked in the beginning

All hope is lost; we pay for a million sins;
We bear the burden of a million lifes
We're nothing more than tools and servants:
Who keep their anger hidden inside

We inherited the mayhem
And the dying breed spitefully grins
We inherited chaos
And the burden of a million sins

07. Lost Horizon

Grimaces of vanity; perverted
Reflections in the mirror
Shreds of noise cut through
The air - lose your horizon

What are you looking for?
Pray to your God - lose your horizon

Dying emotions in a pool of blood
Ruled by suffering; taste the fear;
Darkness is laying upon the souls;
The Devils pact is made
Feel your addiction

You've never given; always taken
You're losing ground
Black ash of spoiled visions;
Lost faith; false truths
The demon gets a real face
Lose your horizon

Dying emotions in a pool of blood
Ruled by suffering; taste the fear;
Darkness is laying upon the souls;
The Devils pact is made

08. Casting Shadows

The sky is grey; the horizon faded
Hope so far and time stands still
Darkness embraces the soul
(And) raindrops wash away the traces

The flames are casting shadows
Have no fear and trust me
The gates are wide open
Give me your hand and let the spirit flow

Spit out the lies you're wearing
And snowfall becomes sand and slipping
Through your fingers
Listen to the river's sound and the
Whispering of the wind
Faces look back; but there's a question
Which I ask

Person in the mirror; demon or angel
Don't run away - you can not win
Show your face and listen to the voices
In your head

09. Behind The Veil

Reality cracks
Showing the bowles
Behind the veil of deceit
Sliding; shifting; never still
Like rotten; slimy snakes
With venom dripping from their fangs
They strangle all hope
And poison what's true

Any street becomes an altar
When innocents are sacrified
For envy; anger; greed and lust
There's no such thing as justice

Pain denies the soul

Dark prophecies escape their dreams
The predator's instincts are gone
No need to hunt; no virtues to keep
Life collapses silently
All values destroyed; just cheap substitutes
But greedily swallowed by the ignorant flock
Brainwashed masses; no sense for pain
Blood is wine and white is black

10. Demon-(mon)Archy

At the Castle's Side I lie
Demons & Shadows cross my way
My dark Empire strikes back again
Blood signed the Altar - Blood on my Hands

Dark Angel
Dark Angel never sleeps
And he was fallen to be free
To rule with Sword & Fire

In the Labyrinth of the Unseen
I wonder about in my own shadowy Exist
Look behind the human Mask
I am a Beast

Beyond the Eyes of Black
Behind the Mirror of Insanity
Unknown Angers are rising from the Dephts
I feel the Demon inside of me

I'm entangled in this World of Light
I'm a Monument of War between Day & Night
You'll be forgotten before you'll die
Remember - I am immortal - Demons

Demonarchy - The Demons rise in me
Demonarchy - Possession,
Obsession - I praise
