Tracks



01. Elysium

Hear your soul speak
In the silent dark night
You can't avoid its call
...My call
Give in my child
This is your time
Take your last breath
Rest now...
In Elysium
Look at your world
Within our world
Made by your mind
Judged by your heart
Mourn not our death
Cry for out pain
Bleed not for life
Never again...

Never again

02. Mirror God

Crimson silence hits this place
Everything so suddenly quiet
We truly are the gods
The gods of moments

They refuse to die
The seconds that pass
We swim
In an ocean of questions
Can't seem to find the true one
Can't seem to stop this madness

Now everything was
Yet nothing is
An instant massacre
Still no one mourns

We die a thousand times
A blank page in a horror book
The memories we mourn the most
Even those yet to come
In the midst the chaotic storm
We beg for control
Sometimes he hears
Sometimes not...

The god of gods

03. The Idolized

We, those of the idolized
Always stream forward
Like an endless current
Running nowhere at all

It leads us forwards
Presence at times so clear
It seems to see and hear
As the ever present matter

Are they dark or grey?
Who can really tell?

The snake seems harmless
Right until the end
And now we welcome you,
The idolized one
Who may spoil my soul

Wipe it clean and good
Now we welcome you,
The idolized one
Whispers in dark places
When you visit those within
Now we welcome you,
The idolized one
We who walk as guardians
As the dark in a grey world
Now we welcome you,
The idolized one

04. Eternity's Dark Embrace

Life...
Sometimes it seems to flow
Through me like water
It's filled with spirits
Cursed in their existence
Silent phantoms

The mournful tale of men
Shall drown in depths of time
In silence
Cursed in eternity's dark embrace

05. 8 For Holy Rebels

Kingdom has come
It has begun
Birth of the everlasting day
First he saw the very first sin
For a day his sight was dim

Sorrow filled the heavens
Clocked under the watchful sun
On and on time elapses
Bound to be, bound to see

The stones bare the witness
Decay of every day death
Still it chants
His glorification bell
Cracked and old
And yet they listen

Those sinful golden tears
One at a time
Falling gracefully from the sky
Well you hide it
Your black magic wish
But all around
It still can be seen

Sorrow filled the heavens
Clocked under the watchful sun
On and on time elapses
Bound to be
Sometimes the child
is wiser than the father
Now he knows
And he weeps his very own star
he weeps in the heavens
Those golden tears

06. Chameleon

All your faces
Reveal to my eyes
Misery
If not already
Struck by the grief
We see
We all see

All those wounds
Hidden under your skin
Deep within
Through your veins
Flow the poisoning lies
Drink your sin

Hollow laughter
And mechanic smile
Game of life
But all those masks
Shall eventually fall
As we leave
And we all leave

Drink now your sin
There is no tomorrow
Drink now your sin
Drink away your sorrow
Drink now

Cold as stone
The spell from your soul
Is deceiving
Inventing the truth
Search for prey
As the shadows fall
So fragile
Yet cold
Cold as stone

Drink now your sin
There is no tomorrow
Drink now your sin
Drink away your sorrow
Drink now
Drink now your sin
All those wounds
Hidden under your skin
Deep within
Through your veins
Flow the poisoning lies
Drink your sin

Drink now your sin
There is no tomorrow
Drink now your sin
Drink away your sorrow
Drink your sin
