The Breathing Process - Odyssey (Un)Dead lyrics



Tracks



01. Hours

"Me, I service the Machinery of Death, so that people can eat
If that makes me evil, then so be it.
Spend any amount of time around people, you get your heart broke.
Treachery, hypocrisy, promise of love.
Look into the mouth of the person, and you'll find lies.
Wriggling there like maggots, waiting to grow wings.
The world has gone mad.
The man could kill from sun up to sunset and still his work would never be done..."

Centuries to years, years to months, months to days, days to hours, days to hours, days to hours, days to hours.
Centuries to years, years to months, months to days, days to hours,
Backwards, everything faces backwards.

02. Grimoire

Stemming from circles of valiant way
The seed will ascend to lustrate this day.
Bearing the fruits of sedition decay
The seed will ascend to lustrate this day.
The pounds of flesh justice shall weigh.
Purging their sins to lustrate this day

In sacrifice so it is written and so it shall be
Boiling waters arise from the sea.
Crimson characters of the divine
They're sacred, shan't be spoken.

To see a god cry
Her tears will salt the earth, nourish and purify.
As the runes are placed the chorus shall be sung with virility
And our souls shall sing out on the land war.

Our souls shall reign crass and stern upon men and gods alike.
You're damned, diseased and shamed within decaying form.
I am the bearer of rebirth to all those who conform.

Revere the passages of the grimoire.
The monuments have their mighty blood to shed.
Revel the passages of the grimoire.
The chimes of Armageddon have just begun
Extol the rituals, path within decaying form.

Paid in sacrifice.
So it is written and so it shall be
Boreal creatures descend to the sea.

What a beautiful day to see a god cry
Her tears shall salt the earth, nourish and purify.
Blood will funnel through monuments
Stemming the rituals, runes will guide her with a song in soul.

03. Leveler

I am the leveler
We are century, take heed my dust and humble.
You'll bow down and humble.

The sands will vanquish, vanquish your memory.
Now a desert was once a kingdom, take heed my dust and humble.

I am the leveler
We are century, take heed my dust and humble.
You'll bow down and humble.

Even your gods have faded into oblivion in my realm of existence.
My hunger cannot be stifled.

Legion follows through where his muses have sent him to die.
The abyss known as time has threatened death upon his name.
The sands are all centuries children.
And blood is what they lust.
Faith within his name is his only guiding light.
Light is consumed by darkness beneath the levelers tide.
As Legions devoured by the vortex, he's prepared to die.
Now you'll bow down.
Kill.

We are century, take heed I am ever consuming
I am the leveler

04. Vultures

Legion arise your weary head, my martyr, my martyr
Broken, battered in sacrifice, my martyr, my martyr.

Scars burns in black eclipse my opaque skin.
The sun sets fire to the sand, through this I walk diligent.
Savoring every flesh searing moment.

I obey the never ending beckoning of my muses songs.
I cannot bide my time in the toils of death.
My muse, my love, I hear your song
Give me strength to overcome.
I cannot bide my time in the toils of death.

The scars burned in black... eclipse my opaque skin.
This is a world of ash.
The clouds succumb to dust

I see you've lost my dear, on the path to exile.
My reach is beyond eternal, but you're lost.

05. Pantheon Unraveling

The glass breaks, it bleeds condemning sands
Upon broken plains days are numbered
Redeemed are the sinners
Their tongues hold no penance all damned.
Time in misery, time is misery, time will fall
You are my children, your fears empower me.
We are your shepherds, take our hands abandon your faith.
For all repent and revere their dying days.
Your hourglass has broken (lies holding time incarnate death)
Tomorrow's turned up dead.
You are my children, your fears empower me.
Hours pass, the ever so gentle call of the dark will ravage your veins.
Sinners the taste so sweet. sinners a saving light.
For all repent and revere their dying.
Your hourglass has broken (lies holding time, incarnating death)
Tomorrows turned up dead.

06. Starless:Eternal

Instrumental

07. Odyssey (Un)dead

Enlightenment engraves righteousness
Enlightenment upon the tomb of divinity.
Odyssey undead
Eternity the past is drained
You'll stand drawn and quartered.
Eternity is my name.

The pages of flesh echo horror
In my dreamscape beauty reigns supreme
The gates of heaven and hell disappear
I know the end is all that you fear.
Oblivion.
Promise me that you're unbreakable.
I am the night, cold and numb
Promise me that you're unbreakable
I am the night, cold and numb.

Enlightenment engraves righteousness.
Crumbling at the touch of your fingertips
Odyssey undead
No god nor devil, no sign of fate
I place your burden upon my lips
So pray upon your saviors name
To be birthed in blood cleansed,
Within my pain you'll know true love
You'll face eternity the past is drained.
You'll stand drawn and quartered
Eternity is my name.

The pages of flesh echo horror
In my dreamscape beauty reigns supreme
The gates of heaven and hell disappear
I know the end is all that you fear.
Oblivion.
Promise me that you're unbreakable.

I am the night, cold and numb
Promise me that you're unbreakable.

Enlightenment engraves righteousness
Enlightenment upon the tomb of divinity.
Odyssey undead

08. Metamorphosis

Fallacy fallacy.
Stark the land had lain slain.
An ethereal plain of existence
The gods gods had forsaken.
Each grain of salt a lie.

I can feel your arms pulling me down into the earth
Changing me, breaking me into a powerless mortal creature.
We've faltered in fragments of truth
Buried beneath the weight of its burden
Crushing down with the weight of this burden lies.
Through this I stand broken.

The soils blow away
Revealing the truth of it's lies,
The shifting blades of grass unveil.
A swamp shrouded in darkness.

I can feel your arms pulling down, changing me
Breaking me into a powerless mortal creature.
We've faltered in fragments of truth
Buried beneath the weight of its burden
Crushing down with the weight of this burden lies.
Through this I stand broken

(but in the end I am absolution)
I am absolution my plague is law.

Changing me, breaking me into a powerless mortal creature.
Fallacy absolute power's gone.

09. Hordes

The scent of entrails, thickened the air
Soils muddied with blood.
I continue deeper in the murky abomination of this land.

As the insects fly circling circling circles circling circling cycles
To pass unscathed is to pass unwanting
I want you now.

As the insects fly circling circling circles circling circling cycles circling
The swarm takes form of deaths consuming black transfix.
I begin to breathe, my lungs devoured.

(My only solace was self contempt.
Where are you now? Where are you now?)

My eyes begin to bleed as they crawl through my veins are bled and dry.
But my insatiable appetite for disease
Devours their menacing vessels
Where are you now?

Dark clouds descend upon the suffocating horde.
All the flies among us.
I cast you down into the swarm of the legion.
Hail the great decay

The scent of entrails, thickened the air
Soils muddied with blood.
I continue deeper in the murky abomination

10. The Living Forest (Part I)

Follow me into the living forest
And from the damned I'll make you my garden.

The hands reach with eternal agony
As though their life was just out of their grasp.
Forever, tormented, taunted in agony.

They reach and pull life from the veins of anything
Anything they drag beneath never to be seen.
Seen again
A maze of death and carnage.

As I enter the mouth of the forest
My hands hold this temple of snow
I'll damn you my darling in a tormental kiss
As my lips burns this curse to your bones
A maze of death and carnage
Follow me.

Follow me into the living forest
And from the damned I'll make you my garden.
Finding solace in the pathless woods.
I long for you and your glorious torture.

Approaching the forests end
Iced heavy branches descend
I'll burn you my darling in a venomous embrace
As I tear your false shelter to shreds
I have bled, I am lost.

I have bled, I am lost.
I have burned, at your cost.
I have bled, I am lost
I have burned your flesh to dust
Your flesh to dust.

Follow me into the living forest
And from the damned I'll make you my garden.
The hands reach with eternal agony

11. Wind Ritual

Wind of the ancient
Blood of the earth.
Tears of the sky.
Ashes of man.

Wind of the ancient
Blood of the earth.
Tears of the sky.

12. The Opaque Forest (Part II)

Moon light glimmers through the crystalline trees
With profound guilt, a faint murmuring that fills the air.
As though the trees, were to bare to this trespass.
The gates have opened.

Into the thicket-ed sacred grounds
Where the guardians await to fulfill their fate.
Where the (prophets have seen) guardians
(awake yet dream) to fulfill the prophecy.

Fog dances gracefully in darkness
As secrets crept into the earth to murder ancient ways.

Sleep my child, I've come to take the night away.
Close your eyes in your final resting place.

Collapse into darkness, clear the way
Children into eternity.
Fall into darkness, fall into darkness
Her eyes becomes murder

Fog dances gracefully in darkness
As secrets crept into the earth to murder ancient ways.

Sobbingly legions words fall weak from his helpless mouth
The warm embrace of tragic tales he lures the twins to death.
The caring tone of a worried father.
Whose children awakened from nightmares
He kissed the darkness upon their lips
To take the breath away
With an embrace she whispers
The darkest embrace she whispers

Sleep my child, I've come to take the night away.
Close your eyes in your final resting place.

13. Decaying (Form)

My outstretched fingers reach for redemption as I fall
Into the ocean of hordes.
In black I sink submerged
(In) sorrow, (I'm) drowning
Divided by depths, In vein I take my final breath.
Into the crashing black
The abyss beckons my flesh, below it's ashing violence
I've lost control.

My outstretched fingers reach with futility.
As I sink deeper in this abyss.
Sink, sink
I'll sing this ocean to sleep.

I lay amongst the dread of serpents
I send a frail kiss to the surface
As my lungs waste away.

The depths of burdens quelled beneath her wake
Oh I fear I've come undone.
Crucify me for what I've become
How could this come to be?
Forsaken in my decaying form.
I'll drown, erase you.

Darkened by your disease
I place this cure upon your crumbling soul.
