Darkseed - Poison Awaits lyrics



Tracks



01. Roads

Disagreements ‒ they have killed the fire
Understanding ‒ forever's flown far away
Life's repressing ‒ all of my desires
Hopelessness ‒ eternally held at bay
Fading to grey

I have seen the path I need to follow
Time to energize
Today lasts only till tomorrow
And a king will rise

Bitterness ‒ so cruel it is out of my league
Loneliness ‒ I fall a thousand fathoms deep
Anger is ‒ dwelling in my restless mind
Here I stand ‒ both deaf and blind
But never I'll surrender!

Chase this rolling stone and see
Has it gathered greener moss?
One bridge lies ahead of me
Will it burn before I walk across?

I feel Like ‒ I'm walking towards the twilight now
Soothe me ‒ in my constant tiredness
Engines push me ‒ rapidly straight
Through the clouds
And erase ‒ my emptiness
Drown my pain for good now

02. Incinerate

Follow the fire
Follow the sword
Leave only death
And praise the false lord
Hunting the spirits
Chasing the fools
Raging for purity
Anyone to seduce

Chop all the mortals
Steel finds flesh
Shatter their bones
Eye to eye
Rape all their highness
No reaction
Flatten their homes
A lifetime gone by

Tell me will my hate someday perish?
Will the wrath still hunger for this one bliss?

Incinerate ‒ Incinerate ‒ Incinerate
Right now insanity is rising
Misleading lines ‒ forgotten
lives ‒ colourless nights
Infinity is calling me
Incinerate ‒ Incinerate ‒ Incinerate
My agony will never end
Misleading lines ‒ forgotten
Lives ‒ colourless nights
Only darkness I can see

Flourish the cancer
Deep in their lungs
Unveil the toxic
Genetic expanse
I am the radiance
No one can see
Turn water sour
For always to be
Infiltrate mortals
No reaction
Mutate their bones
Eye to eye
Swim in the bloodstream
Light in the tunnel
Breaking the nodes
A lifetime to day

Tell me will my hate someday perish?
Will the wrath still hunger for this one bliss?

Incinerate ‒ Incinerate ‒ Incinerate
Right now insanity is rising
Misleading lines ‒ forgotten
lives ‒ colourless nights
Infinity is calling me
Incinerate ‒ Incinerate ‒ Incinerate
My agony will never end
Misleading lines ‒ forgotten
Lives ‒ colourless nights
Only darkness I can see

One day my hate will perish
I'll defeat the seeds of sorrow
No more hungering for this one bliss
Taking off into a bright tomorrow

Incinerate ‒ Incinerate ‒ Incinerate
Right now insanity is rising
Misleading lines ‒ forgotten
lives ‒ colourless nights
Infinity is calling me
Incinerate ‒ Incinerate ‒ Incinerate
My agony will never end
Misleading lines ‒ forgotten
Lives ‒ colourless nights
Only darkness I can see

03. Poison Awaits

Why cause our passion to run and hide
Drown it beneath the rising tide
And cause it shatter upon this earth
Refuse the wonder of this birth?

Sweet sound of yesterday
Wet lot forbidden fires
And the dark snake of sin
Was coiling deep within

Our hearts were lead astray
Climbing walls of desire
Your poison now awaits
It lurks beneath the skin

Why cause our passion to pay the price
To turn our hearts as cold as ice
And hide behind such filthy lies
To toss our hopes towards the sky

Sweet sound of yesterday
Wet lot forbidden fires
And the dark snake of sin
Was coiling deep within

Our hearts were lead astray
Climbing walls of desire
Your poison now awaits
It lurks beneath the skin

On we strive to a new tomorrow!
Close my eyes, dreams are on my side
Glowing beams shattering my sorrow!
Forevermore ‒ surrounded by the light

Sweet sound of yesterday
Wet lot forbidden fires
And the dark snake of sin
Was coiling deep within

Our hearts were lead astray
Climbing walls of desire
Your poison now awaits
It lurks beneath the skin

Sweet sound of yesterday
Our hearts were lead astray
Sweet sound of yesterday

04. Seeds Of Sorrow

I listen to the whispering waves
The whispering waves of unconditional love
With my feet on earth, my head above

The night's echo of myself
A shadow that will flow forevermore
And I have never fell this way before

Once again the thought of you
Permates my skin
You're living in my bones now
I cannot calm the voices from within

Once again my heartache rose
From its silent slumber
Autumn leaves they sweep my soul
Too many tears to number

And black rains fall
Emotions rise tonight
No chance to keep them under
Wherever I shall wander ‒ I'm lost

The night it sleeps
Deep in my skin ‒ tonight
No chance to find a reason
The origin of treason

Once again the seeds of sorrow
Can't be cast aside
There is no bright tomorrow
Autumn rides upon the blackened tide

Once again I drink to fall
A portion I must bear
I feel it live and breathe inside
Dead leaves turn to ash, but I don't care
They turn to ash, but I don't care

And black rains fall
Emotions rise tonight
No chance to keep them under
Wherever I shall wander ‒ I'm lost

The night it sleeps
Deep in my skin ‒ tonight
No chance to find a reason
The origin of treason

Eternal darkness ‒ fall from grace
Deep inside I'm hurting with desire
Hopes and dreams will soon be lost in space

And black rains fall
Emotions rise tonight
No chance to keep them under
Wherever I shall wander ‒ I'm lost

The night it sleeps
Deep in my skin ‒ tonight
No chance to find a reason
The origin of treason

05. All Is Vanity

Work and lofty dreams vanish in dust
All that once was gold now turns to rust

Each new jewel surpassed by the next
All is in vain ‒ all is vanity
False desires make your life complex
All is vain ‒ all is vanity

On the verge of insanity
You're trapped in this web of vanity
Bury your novel expressions
Bury your hopeless passions

Embrace the status and display the crest
All is vanity
You live a life of emptiness
Purity is meaningless

Reveal yourself, keep sailing to the ends
Embrace purity
You only take it as a game
'cause vanity is your name

Life's an uphill climb
One seldom find a rope
Redemtion's not in sight
But do not kill your hope

Health of mind and body, all seems lost
All is in vain ‒ all is vanity
Into a sea of fire and disgust
All is in vain ‒ all is vanity

Bring forth the sumptuous delights
Tickle my senses, devour the moment
Abstinence has become a sacrilege
Admire the feast ‒ never eat

Embrace the status and display the crest
All is vanity
You live a life of emptiness
Purity is meaningless

Reveal yourself, keep sailing to the ends
Embrace purity
You only take it as a game
'cause vanity is your name

All is ‒ all is vanity
All is ‒ in vain

06. Black Throne

I whisper and moan
My life seems sealed
Time to face my misery
And my mind flees into
Wounds hat never healed

I coast aside my pretty fears
And I forsake the known
I am on a trip
In search of my black throne

Can I endure the rain?
Can I stand the pain?
Day after day my fate tore me up inside
The rope is cut
Eyes forever shut
I am falling!
Falling!

What I used to feel?
What I used to need?
I don't know who this is from who
I need to be feed

Ghosts keep haunting me
In my shattered soul
And they make it heir abode
Take my self control

Afraid to realize
It's not an unknown farce
I need to be the one to exorcise me

And as a blind man I would dance
Days and years passed by
But there's a whisper
From the soul that hides

Can I endure the rain?
Can I stand the pain?
Day after day my fate tore me up inside
The rope is cut
Eyes forever shut
I am falling!
Falling!

What I used to feel?
What I used to need?
I don't know who this is from who
I need to be feed

Ghosts keep haunting me
In my shattered soul
And they make it heir abode
Take my self control

Spark my screams ‒ there's no deliverance
Darkness falls ‒ there's no deliverance
Haunt my dreams ‒ there's no deliverance
Hell doth rise ‒ there's no deliverance

Can I endure the rain?
Can I stand the pain?
Day after day my fate tore me up inside
The rope is cut
Eyes forever shut
I am falling!
Falling!

What I used to feel?
What I used to need?
I don't know who this is from who
I need to be feed

Ghosts keep haunting me
In my shattered soul
And they make it heir abode
Take my self control

Take my self control
And as a blind man I would dance
Take my self control
My fate tore me up inside

07. A Dual Pact

When in pain I try to find
A different plain on which to set my mind
To distract it from this downword vibe
And thereby avoid the lie
The rushing tide has no remorse
It might hold me if I cross its course
But the suction of its waves
Has taken many a mind to grave

Last shred of hope.
I cling to as I float.
Through the lightless night...
And here comes the tide...

Grave and dark ‒ a dual pact
Overpowering the ones who locked
The energy to pull out of such mire
Their very souls torlured by fire

High tide ‒ in my soul
No more darksome thoughts uproll
Past are days when I was feeling numb
Till the turn of tide will come

When the tide is in I run
Wash away my sins I come undone
Trying to ignore the Sirens' call
And into the void I fall
The rushing tide has no remorse
It might hold me if I cross its course
But the suction of its waves
Has taken many a mind to grave

All panic's banned,
Inhale and take a stand,
Walk with me tonight
But here comes the tide...

Daylight returns ‒ but nevermore
Returns the wanderer to the share
One last time allures the Siren's calls
And eternal darkness falls...

08. Torn To Shatters

And I wrap my arms around me
And think of times gone by
I used to share my fate with you
Wrapped in a robe of fire

Inhale ‒ exhale
All that matters ‒ torn to shatters

Having trusted you before
Made my desolate past live again
My earth-born spirit breathe again

I will search forevermore
Through the wind, the waves, the mist, the rain
Your smile is in my tears again

And I drift through empty days
I feel like a puppet on a string
I hear the songs you used to sing

I count the seconds, time unwinds
Walking in the shadows of my mind
Dissolved in thoughts, I melt into you

But the years and memories wither into a scroll
Unfathomed sorrow resonated within my soul

And from my heart, I'll pour this song,
Of endless struggle, still it made me strong
Because these roars of love
Reach towards the sky

Silently I close the door
Pondering words I somehow cannot say
Shutting the world far away

Set me on fire with your glow,
Feels like nothing i have felt before
Earth's last its balance I can fly

09. No Promise In The Heavens

And I am still waiting
For clean to come yet he's not there
He's killing dreams out in the sea

I feel like ‒ I can't breathe
Life's ‒ crushing down on me
Heavy salt will wash away my sin

No one left ‒ I could blame it on
No more hope ‒ all is said and done
Life seems sealed ‒ as the night breaks in

And rears mount the horizon
And blackened is the night
The world has drowned in cries

I search for many years
He is all cherished all my life
I roamed behind the veil of night

The essence of life ‒ it should never be lost
Thrown to be beast ‒ to be mighty tossed

I I give myself away ‒ on this blackened day
I give myself away to you!

The world is drowning...
The world has drowned in cries...

10. Striving For Fire

Searing until we are swallowed by fire
Trying to reach out for the beaming,
Seductive light once we get
Burned ‒ and here comes the night

We all dreamed of touching the sun
Of being more than we could ever be
Our wings now lie floating on a dead sea

We're following what's hopeless
We're striving for the fire
We're wondering with memories
Caught in the night's desire

We're following the blind men,
Our wings have come undone
And atom follows atom
Unwinding in the sun

No boundariesn when it comes to real passion
No dimensions and no dreams we cannot climb
Creating a universe outside of time

Just keep flying keeping your dead down
Ready for motion, your throat
Stripped bare of moons
Maybe tomorrow your name
Will be carved in stones.

I cannot saw the seam
It faded with my dream
Live a life extreme!

Oblivious to ‒ the downward spiral
And time keeps wandering onward,
It keeps it us at pace
When are we gonna wake up
And find our resting place?

11. Timeless Skies

Hearts of darkness start to burn
And each man will rise in glory
Sacred grounds will give them birth

Strip myself of centuries
Fleeing into timeless skies
Weights and standarts are extinct

As disciple I'll return
The sands of time will tell my story
Spread my wings renew this earth

And our fears rolled on
And the days lay dead
And interia's gone ‒ tonight

See the light!
I'm longing to start over ‒ a am free
Feel the light
Obliterating mankind's history

I walk ‒ along those broken walls
In faith ‒ inhale the newborn day
I fly ‒ though nemesis has come
In faith ‒ across those timeless skies

Walk in faith along those broken walls
Walk in faith ‒ inhale the newborn day
The newborn day

Hearts of darkness start to burn
And each man will rise in glory
Sacred ground will give them birth
Hearts of darkness start to burn

12. King In The Sun

I visioned one more better day
To close the fever away
Before the sun was to move on

Dreams less complete
Love left alone
Until the breaking of down
From Eden we have flown.

And I've come to realize each passing day
That we blindly threw our bliss away

How long must I fall before I can rise?
For I am a kind in the sun ‒ here I come!
How far must I walk to touch the sky?
But still I come undone

Am I dead, am I alive
Show me the essence of life
Before I am to move on.

The single truth I couldn't scorn
Arrogance made me forlorn
And still a kind was born.

Walk with me through the storm
The chill dies away
And my message will bloom

I am king in the sun
I won't surrender in the presence of doom

For I have light
And no more gloom circles my soul

But I've come to realize this final day
That joy and hope at last have come my way!
