Ruins

Enshrouded by the sand The temples of forgotten man Kneeling in the dark The blessings from the ruined gods Sacred chants, written in ashes, Weeped in pain, Devoured by the gaping abyss Bleeding echoes, A wandering ghosts, Freezes the dust, Crippled by the chain of despair Repairers of creation For infinite destruction Unrecorded races, Buried in a perished dreams Vanished in the moment of becoming Thrones sunked in mud Proud commands are long forgot, Drowned in a solitary stream Crystallized shadows, An ornaments of terror, Sculptured eyes of the abyss By the tears of grief Radiant and abhorrent The flares from the dying sun Gastly rays piercing the layers of dark A swirling curse, Curved the bloody path before us Creating circles within circles Obeying to a linear, decaying pain And forgotten by the sand, Forgotten by the stars, Forgotten by shadows and rays Sacred chants, written in ashes, Weeped in pain, Devoured by the gaping abyss Bleeding echoes, A wandering ghosts, Freezes the dust, Crippled by the chain of despair On the abyss of ruins The whispering hymns of solace was ceased

O death, thou one eternal thing That takes all within thine arms Like plague lies in the core Like plague lies in the being Time flows in unbroken stream The seed of fallen souls exhale a rotten despondence Dwell in a finite line, Prays and spells scorched in flames Thou shall fade, thou shall perish Hope, faith, destroyed by hammer of void Vision of festering wounds And tortured flesh Distortion and abomination In life's altar, blood and despair - Perished in pain And all destructions bloody path The iron tongue fierce crushing - Black catharsis Book of prophesies enslaved to flame A burning shrouds, A vengeance upward fire Made every cloud a reddish pyre In death's kingdom kneel in the shadow Descent to an infinite curse Hope into ashes, dust and ruins Hope into ashes, dust and ruins Eternal whispers glooms The birth and death Tormented echoed voices Like a poisonous thorn Implosion into nothingness, Blessings melt in graves Faded ruined spirits Faded ruined gods The world, the flesh, the shadow In the plains of silence Scorned in timeless fall

I see the angel of death Spread his wings on the blast Stoned eyes, silent stones Stand cold on the cold moon Collide, collapse, annihilate Collide, collapse, eradicate Flames to purify Drown the hope into sea of bones A bestial fragmentation Every vein will be empty from blood While I stood on the height I stood on the height And beheld the decline See the darkness dance And silence sing Death's venomous cold breath Destruction encircling, until the end Of the cycle Invocation to the womb of void Incubate the blazing seeds of fall Death's venomous cold breath Destruction encircling, until the end Death's venomous cold breath Unveiling the arcane, passage to oblivion A moonless, starless dark The stillness of blood The slackening of muscles An astral whisper Perish...

A wandering stream of wind An eerie relic of the past Bursting in drear screams of terror or A deep and long drawn sigh Crawling among the ruins And groaning in a mournful dirge Blacken and golden crowns Godly and hellish thrones Adorned by vacant high thoughts Eternal life's prophecies from days of old Now they are piles of moldering bones Nailed hopes on the odorous destroyed walls Paint on the ineffable truth of Death and extinction Darkness enfolding the last remnants of life Creating a shadowy lure A radiant terrifying abyss Entwined the last remaining ruins Ruins whipped by time's scourge Vanishing in a coil of dust A long forgotten memories Lost, lost, forever lost Fading, fading away into the swirling mist Until evanesced into... No memory, no trace Lost, lost, forever lost

Listen deep the silence Inside the illusion of hope Empty and awake The essence of mind Embrace... Crawl in the mud and see the darkness dance The spectrum of all states, embrace the decay Dragging along into endless void A black curse image which constantly rot The silencing of the voice, The extinction of mind A black cursed image which constantly fail Impermanence... Suffering... An astral whisper echoed In every pulse In every tone All blows away like smoke in the void Cold, dead and empty Your soul evaporate like a dream Offer your pain to non-existent gods Your hope a solemn temple, bow to death Dragging along into endless void A black cursed image Between nothing and nothing With hate I spit my last breath Impermanence, fragility Absurdity, suffering

Final collapse to zero Set by an ever constant inflation Accelerating flow of expansion Accelerating toward the end of all Finite light endless dark Omni-directional arrow of time Oneness of space and time Order to the great disorder Fundamental axioms, Engulfing the finite Utter chaos of possibilities Leading to absolute singularity Portals without paths Torned anti-cosmic dreams Bow to death's destroying omnipotence Bound with the universal disruption Dancing into regal song of entropy Pulsating fragmentation - Libation to damnation Shredding the realm of all possible states A formless imprint In the ocean of nothingness Grandeur of doom, Devoured by the void's mouth Devoured by the void

Hear death's solemn voice The coldness of its solitude To rot in silence torn Between pain and desire A vaporous shapes ...And a world made of ash, Writhes beneath the shadows Wrapped in flames Time in serpent form Grip the land with might Sanctify the union with eternal night Horizon to horizon Perish in its fall Above and below, a constant soulless call Broken and shattered, implosion to the void Upon the burning matter Purgation unfolds The sun, lay down his golden beams Surrendering to his last golden light And feebler and more feeble glowing Till darkness consume his might Time in serpent form Grip the land with might Sanctify the union with eternal night Horizon to horizon Perish in its fall Above and below, a constant soulless call Broken and shattered, implosion to the void Upon the burning matter Purgation unfolds Oh sense, oh hell, oh death...

Let down your words, dreams and memories A fleeting shades Drained in the pathless pits of darkness Swallowed... Consumed... Enlightenment and wisdom Of nothing, nothing, nothing Nothing at all Descent? Ascent? Welcomed by the soundless Trumpets of void Shape without form Into the monochrome of darkness In a tenebrous impulsive silence
