"These are our false chapters, in the tale that is mine Where the pendulum's sway no longer holds our interest And so, oft I go, through the under-scapes heralded by whispered snow" There I stood in the morning deep blue Where light grew tired in the cold First night rise from deaths confines Besieged by hells set upon the mind Smoke trails court the lifеless light The end bеgins with the fall of shadows Here we join The Great Divide Separate the aspects like a knife For our fate consumes desire A scarlet mercy more than hallowed! Oh father night, send us a sign Where horizon's held accused Of bearing light on our forged life Keeper of the radiant noose Overcoming, Elite Overnight, there, is mine March, to, death, we'll follow in their foot-steps Mortality is stained Upon summer lands whereonce we dreamed A hoarfrost's lovesong to the sun... Beset with dismissive glance We are made of the past, yearning for new life Music yearning for a new... rhyme "What is a sunset, but the end of a life that I will never know Salvation was moments too late, give me a new ending when the curtain falls" Cease now please your wicked ways, I beg thee sorrow Curses stretched from empty graves, loam unhallowed Restrain ghosts like bridled echoes of the soul Freedom in death is denied and so we carry on Salvator in perpetuum Salvator in perpetuum Salvator in perpetuum Salvator in perpetuum Salvator in perpetuum Salvator in perpetuum Salvator in perpetuum Salvator in perpetuum Salvator in perpetuum "Let them rest to yourselves For the the night is unforgiven"

Solemn vows, we always knew Dying fast as the vast became the few Savage how, this storm ensued Claiming all, resolving to a scarlet hue Father night, now unkind A waning shield no longer on our side But this I swear, one fortnight Life will reclaim where it once will reside Sunless tides of bygone age The rust of earth flows, bathed in graves What good the ledgers of our past? Blood soakens every page Be it curse or purge, we'll heed no single word We'll walk again in night, as fearless as the day Whisper gently that you may hear my prayer Though by it's end they will still be there Gather well, under stranded moon Like fearless prey stands before the wolves They would come for us, in our time of need To grant this peace, howling lullabies carried on (the breeze) Whisper gently, hear my (prayer) Though by it's end they will still be there For the fallen! For the solemn! Steel yourselves the dawn is nigh Onward brave now we shall ride!! Know the dusk is ours to claim For the glory of the everlasting night A journey through the dark, the perils of light For the glory of the everlasting night Carry you to first light, your virtues held high Gently, they wander like the footsteps of the dead Hope mislaid in fields of mourning, their spirits lost for breath Glory of Glory of Glory of the everlasting night! Glory of Glory of Glory of the everlasting night!! Everlasting night! Where lost souls find a name Before the dawn's edge, our prayers were left to die Left to the shadows, our fear spread on display We gather under steeple where church bells rings equal To every man who lost his breath in hell A panorama dead, nameless faces born of king Hearts tire of names etched in stone We only had belief, when death replaces memory and still we carry on, carry on! When asking of the answers or a meaning to life, death was its reply This is where we lost our breath in hell!

Here we lie within these walls, crumbling down like our hearts and minds A scene comprised of corpse-filled sties, we're unified by all we've lost By all we've lost Ah-ah-ah-aaah All we've lost Here we lie within these walls, crumbling down like our hearts and minds A scene comprised of corpse-filled sties, we're unified by all we've lost This atmosphеre of tears conferrеd Though lips too cold to speak of woesAnd death throes of light have earned us further (Living nightmares to endure) Humanity is the only truth That revives the soul from misery Restore the soul and blood anew Our journey trails the countless dead The nameless ones we knew as friend A fields of faces wrought with traces Of frozen horrors, fears, and lament Dusk comes quickly paced, I plead again For the strength to find an end With heavy heart for those not sparedWhilst razor winds stole forth my breath Humanity is the only truth That revives the soul from misery Restore the soul And the blood of new Twisted spires seen afar in the pale glades Looming like a portrait black, shrouded in miasmic haze Faithful gather shivering by the fading fireside Burning our dead brethren, just to keep us alive! And what of faith? All will displaced Only death was heard, where words abstain Our mortal faith will be displaced Only death was heard where words abstain No place but a grave escape When cemeteries are growing taller Pyres formed weaving bones to coal Illuminate the night carried absent repose Suffer under autumn moon The bitter rain hastens grieving wounds!!! Here we lie within these walls Here we lie within these walls Even then, no soul can rest! Knowing, the living, suffer! Darkness brings misbegotten beings Facade of life with funeral heartbeats To claim the moon, profaned pulse abide The fear that was known in more than stories Follow me into the grey! Beyond the fog to cease this plague! Remember a time before the strife Before carmine deep screams came from the night Remember a place where the sun still shined The days where the years seemed far too kind Tell me again, the stories when A miracle was worth more than every sorrow Hold them close, for it will remind As we stand against all in black morrow, oh-woah All my thoughts end tomorrow All my love burns away Ashes and sorrow Ashes and sorrow All my thoughts end tomorrow (Ashes) Ashes and sorrow Ashes...

Rouse the whims of the night I bare As spires are lit under lunar candlelight Cursed bloodline, azure griped veins Compelling purpose, for us, to, live, again! "Release me, for time shall not" The stories old, worn from the page The themes of loss, they're all the same Left stigmas mark on earthly time From avarice pacts our greed provides Conquests came a dire price Undaunted rеign for a cost most high Not good enough, our glory earned Wе traded further for eternal life Long ago, we were unchanged So long ago, we weren't so different Was vanity's grandeur worth the fall? As Ill-favored fates prevailed us all So much more, more than mortality could endure! "Oh valor, return from the prison of our shame From tortured shape, with none other to blame More ardent our wish than that of conquered empires For us to walk again... In the sun" Shadow lies waiting under veil of light Our pulse cast into purgatory Somewhere lost twixt death and life And for the thrall the vitae calls Red treasures in bare throated vaults And yet, tears spill forever-more from sanguine society Long ago, we were unchanged So long ago, we weren't so different Lent to the earth our years to the grave Abolished, humanity abstained Our souls are marred with damnation's mark Beyond wearied time, quickens a languid pain Karma's hand had dealt us our fate A story’s ends, yet blank pages remain Oh righteous day, oh fortune's fate, forgive our sins Heed our call, from kingdom's fall, we would give, everything! Savior, Betrayer "Anticipation stills the scene Through the threshold into arms unseen Secrets culled from the flame Ancient oaths to our will invade" Onward to undo the bonds, ordained and conspired No tyrannous shadow shall linger over, and conquer that which is desired In tenebrous kingdom of noble beasts, rise up from the mire Fell creatures of pallid features summoned forth by bells from blackened spires No longer to succumb to faith in heaven's gate or hell's embrace The nameless heathens, plight of reasons Vile treason that I've embodied! Farewell sun, farewell to all that we have loved Ruin is all that I have, left to share Become the end of this life's undying years Within ourselves, a beast looks in the mirror Close our eyes and watch it, disappear

"I have yielded this sword for times now countless And the cost was great: our mother's denounced us... Am I to stand statuesque (statuesque), as a final chaos erupts around us?" You ask: "what good are the sharps cuts of this blade When all that's left are surely holes meant for graves?" Omnia super cruor deorum noctis Scorched earths don't tell a tale of gracious hosts or pedigree But must what's left be sentenced to an equal destiny? Qualis in mutantur In death In death In death is a loss of name A sorrow's release after life's great suffering (Great suffering) Herald of the grave from afar Not the archangel, but the saviour-nevermore, nevermore Gladius ea ferro nos servabit Arbor vitae dabit lumen Gladius ea ferro nos servabit Arbor vitae dabit lumen Si venerit ad locum meum Vos scitis quod factum est et venerunt ad faciem! Salvator in perpetuum Salvator in perpetuum "Salvator in perpetuum"

Death sings loud Think your last thoughts now before you're in the ground Now it's time, for the tears you thought you'd never have to cry Here, a promise comes from above The fragment of hope you'll need to survive Behind the shroud, hope comes with a lie Met where faith and deceit intertwine When the last tree no longer stands When it lies like the dead and I Your last prayers will be sung with your murder "My words set forth to scar ever further" Can you not feel the winds of change? Exhale the centuries of history With a whisper, all years erased The darkness claim the world where light had (failed!) Did you believe? Did you read the prophecies? Or did you think the end would never come? I have the answer, though you can't understand Wiping the slate clean, from ash we begin again My reverence for life will surely mean your end Did you believe? Did you read the prophecies? Or did you think the end would never come? Somehow we'd be saved! Did you think the sun would never rise? No one's left to scream! To scream You don't deserve this time! You don't deserve this life All sins brought to light Let your judgment come by my hand! "I am sorry, the only way to save you, is to kill you" Did you believe? Did you read the prophecies? Or did you think the end would never come? Did you believe? Did you read the prophecies? Or did you think that you could still prevail? Over me! I am the Savior Nevermore! I am the light that failed! You cannot win, you must die!

Malefic fonts corrupts my thoughts Twas light eclipsed by shade Judgment's wretched haze overtakes As eulogies for the earth are phrased A silent plot I orchestrate Achieved through rivaled hearts deceived I'll seam the layers, their thoughts ensnared Besting their belief that was never there What is asleep within awakes, my sensе of purpose My sense of placе! This is where you'll be laid to rest! Malefic fonts corrupts my thoughts, it was light eclipsed by shade Judgment's wretched haze overtakes As eulogies for the earth are phrased A silent plot I orchestrate Achieved through rivaled hearts deceived Whose greater guilt shall be heard? For their sins are greater blamed Than my confession violates This time of madness that must be brought to an end You were once their stalwart guardian But now what's defended is corrupted There is no conviction you could (debate) To slow the fall of the hourglass For through the light of their souls I see the guilty shadow cast You were once their sovereign savior How can they ask you to, forgive their wrongs? No, mercy from you, have I seen, specter of nature, slayer of dreams All is sadness and hate, no force could impede Sacrament savior, no longer to be "In death's hands, a rose is placed Sorrow's relief from life's great suffering To live again, the thorn must scathe For this is I am proclaimed: "Savior, Nevermore"" For he hath abandoned himself to sin... To snuff the corporeal fire

This is the vanquished season Where encroaching black sky reflects the color of my intent I am the villain evermore Storm winds gather frenziedly and recite a dying hymn Howling lust for all life and the last song of the damned Tattered scenes of ebony and sundered red veiled lands Discourse this verse of disharmony and witness the stories end "And by the new dawn, your fate grieves the lights of shadow times' secured That your death echoed cruel as the 'ever-to-be-there' With none left to be heard" DIEEEEE!! DIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! With wounds too steep, even a martyr would envy You forced my hand to bring the end And consecrate the wicked blade, the warmth of blood carries you away Close your eyes and let it carry you down Fear not angel, lest we meet again Fear not this age, is drawing to an end It is done Forever we die with the end I've made No, no, they are the only my goals So, never, please, hide on the fields I've made Please, be my own savior

Dead light, hails the beginning, weaving threads of a fatal knowing Pale night, where an age lays dying, promised with the ashes of all mankind A violent echo overtakes the land, scars the soil like a mourning band A deathly song, a rhyme of the damned, where anguished promises are finally unveiled!!! Our memories forever ceased, like a heart struck by a thorn The font of heaven's seed, bred deep in doomspеakers sights bemoaned! (DIE!) I am thе dark, they spoke of This is my final stand For the glory of, the everlasting night Sin of sins claimed society, enshrined desires for a new beginning Reconciled in ash on journeys to the grave, ruinous wish in sacred duties "Unredeemed is the soil blood has pervade To which all fought and died for the honor to proclaim" For the glory of, the everlasting night "Soon to find, the terror ends, when you die" (DIE!) I am the dark, they spoke of This is my final stand I am the wind of darkness I am the light that failed Charging forth in mournful squall A sickening flood of swords held high, high Charging forth in mournful squall A sickening flood of swords held high As the pale mists fell like a funerary shroud Felling all hopes, a perdition, meant for all Spawning horrors lurching onward Arisen from forlorn grey swathed came a nightmare splendor Prophetic pages lost, in entombed vaults, sired prayers to misfortune's progeny "And to what of this am I vilified? For compassion's inflicted on an age of immortal strife Abhorred chains immuring the welcoming dawn Of what would sorrowfully be known as "The Great Divide"" Did you believe? Did you read the prophecies Well now the time has finally come This is the end of all things, it's my decree! (DIE!) I am the wind of darkness, I am the light that failed I am the ghastly shadow, stepping across the veil I step across the veil You will bow to every (I've taken every) Shattered all the dreams that you have wrought Gazing at my masterpiece, scenes of death beneath my feet Ashes blowing in the wind and all this by my hand Severing the planets veins, drinking of all that remains Effortless, you took the bait, and now the slate is clean "Let death commence And life's suffering come to rest Now our time has come to an end From ash may life be born again" "It is done"
