Wither

I am an empty puppet And soon I'm the one in charge Let the battle begin You'll drown in blood Accept, I fought and I conquered the throne It righteously belongs to me It's not to be taken away from me so easily The time has come for the will of all to be gone Disobedience will not be tolerated From now on you will all speak of me with dread For I am the only one, I am your master I am in sickness and health The one you will submit to And now don't turn around There's no going back I am fear, wielder of the black darkness The aftermath of my terror is nothing but death You ignored to see what was so clear and this is your punishment Death is your punishment I am fear Death, a relief You can call me what you want You just let go of your will and I won't release my wrath The seven plagues I am the one, the merciless Your world will be washed away You'll hear my masterpiece The death symphony Lead: Lindström

Enter the era of vain Serenity lost, the vicious will reign Embracement of your spiteful egos, the last one of your kind Accolades to conceit, obfuscation of the mind Crowning the glorious creation Evolved into a beast of devastation Will is lost to a greater desire, the powers within reach Draining hope of the absent-minded as altruism depletes Lead: Lindström Follow now the will of affinity jaded Rotten to the core, the tolerance faded Bred from the spawn of a species forlorn Shards of mankind shattered and torn Rejected and cast down from the source of our beliefs The elder writings and the creatures of deceit Despise all meaning of their pitiful ways Forgotten and silent in their unmarked graves Sacrilegious human debris An offering to the gods of greed Lying in wait for the ancients to rise Breathing death and everlasting demise As you wither away into the blackened shrines The ones at power a nocturnal divine A celebration to our greatest deed Let the feeble rot Now kill to feed Fires burn at the heart of your delusion Failed to see the staring eyes of guilt Your wicked mind has now reached the conclusion As the searing void runs you through Final dying words of a cosmos set aflame Long forgotten keys to avoid the ardent pain Bringing forth the full reach of your poison need Forfeit attempt to halt Armageddon Once risen as the breed in triumph A paradigm of rancor, self-inflicted failure No new beginning No meaning will be seen The fall of all marks closure to the cycle Lead: Wijkman

Broken down, sacrificed A life full of pointless rituals Betrayed, unjustified Experience in life denied Imperfect human being refining havoc Demanding, controlling Full potential cast aside Decaying, rebuilding Becoming impenetrable The last one will suffer the pain of the first Pass judgement upon those who stray from the predetermined path Wasting their lives for an obsolete purpose Denying themselves our bliss Follow me and have a taste of joy Close your eyes and take that one first step Follow me and you will be the same Make the wrong choice and it was all in vain The traces have faded, it's getting dark outside Nothing to be seen, can you be sure you made right decision? When everyone seems to know exactly where to go I stumble around blindly, deaf and dumb This love for a sacred tomorrow, where everything is safe, holds a rancid smell My limbs corroded, my sinews rusted With every single motion my muscles seem to snap You abandoned me, left me to rot In hours of despair I writhed in pain But I endured and I improved, became what you despise It should be your time to learn that This love for a sacred tomorrow, where some are deemed to die, holds a rancid smell Their limbs corroded, their sinews rusted With every single motion their muscles snapped

One push, one edge One echo as you fall Captured by the arms of foolishness I feel life consuming me as I'm sinking in the quicksand What is this nightmare? I can't wake up Welcome to reality Ripped apart flesh from bone Severed mind from body Now another empty flawless piece of artwork worthy of the time But no, not until it's you Incarcerated, 'til the final glimpse of light we're locked inside Walking egos, everything comes with a price Lead: Wijkman

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

And everything that was said was nothing but lies One master plan, a grin in disguise I never flinched and never shed a tear Oh, curse the one who has for long Been spitting poison at his beloved A treacherous mind This deceiving reality will retaliate Will I be the one suffering? Only time will tell This so called sophisticated mind is slowly rotting Becoming one with the earth Crawling with the maggots on filthy holy ground I always thought I would reach my sanctuary But only piss was found Trying to mimic my former self I stand now in front of the pendulum of time Seeking for hope that failed In the end everything was clear I only saw the evil in me, the devil in me I will be the one suffering That is what time will tell One thought kept so long, too long Smouldering, soon to be fire One frail body One perfect intent was buried under ground I always thought I would reach my sanctuary But only piss was found My skin, like leaves in the autumn Withers away, leaving no trace behind Silently sweeping, constantly seeking one cause for redemption The trail of life has lost its way but will return at the birth of the twilight Bringing of the first born, congenitally flawed Leaving no trace behind...

Running from grace to grave Turning my head away from the sun The earth shakes, splits in two I'm standing in between Which side do I choose? Inside me, thrust to the ground, my spirit awaits sudden death I can't distinguish real from fake I'm near the absolute, the final stage And though the fangs carve deep Not one single drop but confusion is raining Confusion from inclusion, giving the illusion that we are One perfect struggle between fear and courage The scale won't tip 'til one of us leaves Confusion from inclusion, giving the illusion that we are one Lead: Lindström Running from grace to grave Turning my head away from the sun Last step, I falter I spread my wings and I fly My journey has just begun I take off and I feel the pressure to make it alone in this world And when I fall astray I remind myself what you have said I gather my strength and I seek my way back But I don't see the fire Burning my wings I drop to the ground

Staring right back at you, feels like I'm breathing smog This one you can't wait out My pulse increasing steadily, hatred is building up inside Humanity ceases to exist Boiling with rage, an anger never felt before My thoughts are torn to shreds Red is dripping down my canvas, an art form never seen before In time everyone will know I feel adrenaline, the pounding war drum Channeling darkness, dehumanizing Reign in chaos, an atmosphere filled with hate Dare not trespass the forbidden gate One force so strong upon me Drawing closer, I cannot escape I fall into tranquil emptiness Feeling nothing, seeing nothing One knife through flesh The vessel dropped dead Mutilated, inanimated Eyes staring into oblivion Never to see light again As I float around in space it grows stronger The urge to get back Sundown is yet another nightmare to come The awakening The cries, the endless cries Twitching limbs in front of my eyes Behind bars I stay as I start to decay In time light will be shed over me Lead: Wijkman
