Solitude Aeturnus - Alone lyrics



Tracks



01. Scent of Death

Flesh peeled exposing the rotting scent of death
The center of damnation
Tears shed falling into the abyss
Sorrow wraps its arms

On knees I bend wounds enrapture
Breaking - writhing - God's pain eternal
Into oblivion once again - sights focus
With blind resolve - killing the child

Born from life
The stench of pleasure
Drowned in failed visions
A rip through time

Destroyed and beaten - a black shadow looms
Destroyed and beaten - the shadow looms

Born from life
The stench of pleasure
Drowned in failed visions
A rip through time

Take me
Laid - exposed
And dead
A world bears upon
This wretched creature

The prayers of relief - soon unanswered
The child - further into the dark fades
Obliterated by the hands of the now dead
Upon my side the rest

No longer wishing for life
The child lets go
The child lets go
Buried in blood

02. Waiting for the Light

Sunlight fails you
The darkness falls
upon you - pale soft skin

Wet, dripping pain bound by black lucid dreams - from injected steel

I see the sadness falling from your face
You cry out loud

I see the sadness falling from your face
You cry out loud
I see the sadness falling from your face
You cry out loud

The mounting fear
A muffled cry
Wide open - eyes spilling life

You'll still be waiting for the light
Waiting
You'll still be waiting for the light
Waiting
You'll still be waiting for the light
Waiting
You'll still be waiting for the light
Waiting

03. Blessed be the Dead

A dream, a lie
Nothing to be
A death, a loss
God gives nothing

Dreadful delusions
Blissful peace
Why do I ache?
Must find release
A nagging pain on and on
Back laid, sky above
Why do I ache?

Changing perceptions
A vision slowly dies
Pain within slowly grows

Save me, I fall
Again I fall
Save me, I'm lost
Again I'm lost
Blessed be thy dead

Dreadful delusions
Blissful peace
Why do I ache?
Must find release
A nagging pain on and on
Back laid, sky above
Why do I ache?

04. Sightless

Paths illuminated by hells fires
Floating onward to ends demise
Turn to see the once was
Turn to see what was
This spirit flails with twisted motion
Another claimed by God's delusions
This spirit flails with twisted motion
Another claimed by God's delusions

With a weary heart
Accepting defeat
Soiled from within
Tainted by existence

Softly speaking with tongues of anguish
The calm invades breath the foul air
Composed of nothing I return to nothing
Composed of nothing I return
Reclaimed again the beauty departs
Wings of life never gain flight
Reclaimed again the beauty departs
Wings of life never gain flight

With a weary heart
Accepting defeat
Soiled from within
Tainted by existence

Goodbye to the known
Embrace the black hell
Names for demons still unknown
Floating onward to ends demise
The calm invades breath the foul air

This spirit flails with twisted motion
Another claimed by God's delusions
This spirit flails with twisted motion
Sightless as the flesh tears

With a weary heart
Accepting defeat
Soiled from within
Tainted by existence

05. Upon Within

Setting sunlight embraces my body
As I stand upon a precipice of death
Faceless as the dark descends
Reclaiming a once vivid soul

Torn from this plain, not ready yet
Taken into the ethereal
Visions never achieved, lifeless and broken
A moment in time, wiped from existence

Twisted and tainted
Black emotional pain
Drawing on life's blood
Drowned by the hand of fate

Horizons with no movement, forever still
Falling rain, washing the dead
Mocking the motionless eternally damned
Dreams unfulfilled, dreams unfulfilled

As weakness takes hold, and binds
Screaming in silence, words falling, never heard
Taken into the dark dreams of substance
Bent beyond repair, beyond repair bent

Twisted and tainted
Black emotional pain
Drawing on life's blood
Drowned by the hand of fate

06. Burning

Thoughts collide, raping shreds of sanity
Invading my mind through light and dark

A vision of beauty, spreading wings, envelope my soul
Breathing life, releasing the pain
Lighting flames upon a darkened path
Awaiting reprieve, one image burns

I no longer control myself
Pushed and pulled
beyond my strength
Eyes that shine, words unknown
Pushed and pulled
I no longer control myself

Awaking by chance, the spinning circle grows
A oyre fir rest, this body now limp
Silent prayers recite themselves
A pacing motion, well maintained

Dancing softly, a world stands still
Damp with sorrow as wounds yet bleed
Mindless tomorrows, havoc calls my name
Lucid and alone, death calls my name

I no longer control myself
Pushed and pulled
beyond my strength
Eyes that shine, words unknown
Pushed and pulled
I no longer control myself

She sends a voice, angelic sounds
Touching a heart, shrouded in mist
Lifting the veil, to receive the black
An angel descends, God's greatest gift

07. Is There

A burning hate that grows
As the one's released from within, within my sphere
Tomorrow brings only plight
Another day of nothing
"Praise be" to the one, the one that gives

Treasures, only a token of misguidance
A lie only to be lead and to be followed blindly
Release the pain
Follow your word
How can one, one believe
When hell is all that is given

Where is the truth
Where is the light
Where is the peace
Where is God
Where is the truth
Where is God

Desires to be
Desires to live

Who, who is the God
Forever spinning
Forever dead
Bent and twisted
A pleasure only you behold
Make the meager weak
Love they godang behold
Praise be

Where is the truth
Where is the light
Where is the peace
Where is God
Where is the truth
Where is God

Desires to be
Desires to live

Heaven is not far but tied I go nowhere
Visions of life to be are wasted thoughts and time continually beaten and dragged through life

Where is the truth
Where is the light
Where is the peace
Where is God
Where is the truth
Where is God

Desires to be?

08. Tomorrows Dead

Awash in waves of darkness
Light creeping, unwelcome

Visions behind these eyes
They melt into rivers of death
A burning desire, rips and tears
Drifting endlessly, days pass

Give me breath
Give me love
Give another day
Don't let me fade

Sorrow bleeds these veins
Another hour of loneliness
Waiting as the world falls apart

Give me breath
Give me love
Give another day
Don't let me fade

09. Essence of Black

Numbing the pain
Pathetic creations of unresolve
Pain controls from within
The dark knows me well
Draining my essence as I sit in silence
Walking empty through the rest of my days

Barren plains filling the void
Winds that chill, frozen in all movement
Repeating followed patterns
Days last for nothing, cold, so cold

Staring blindly into spiraling circles
Another injection of peace subdues
Am I tired or am I losing touch
Three stand before, binding the lost

Shattered days, shredding my skin
Bleeding the essence
The essence of black
The essence of black
The essence of...

Confusing the mental, emotions they fall free
Unrelenting and ceaseless
Split in two by night and day
No balance to be had

Shattered days, shredding my skin
Bleeding the essence
The essence of black
The essence of black
The essence of black
The essence of...
