"Such as I was you are, and such as I am you will be. Wealth, honor and power are of no value at the hour of your Death."

See through the closed dry eyelids of the damned What will you learn of their dead stare? As we now have reached the shores of the genesis We stand as stones of flesh, uncovering our putrid wounds Above us the circling swarm of vultures soar This, the day we've all been waiting for To turn our backs on the creator, the founder of our sorrows A ride of suffering in front of us А harbinger or death, you sing the gospels оf mankind's demise There is nothing left but the remains of its piety and fear No blow of mercy will be given as no mercy you gave Succumb and be a slave under their command A long harsh wait for in the end to be set free from all savage misery Punishment is due in the rotting land you used to call a haven Yon say you'll trade this hell for heaven, but nameless lives, you will feel it when death begins The final fire that sparks the wish for peace For years of labor, disappointment, and disease The shadows haunt the light on your face Death's head shines through, a relentless wish to kill Twist and turn, or lay there with grace Cling to the lowed ones as they tie you to the Catherine Wheel Why did we put our trust in them? To each his own... We stand on the cliff's edge, looking backwards at what life did offer us Where did it lead us, and at what cost? Pondering upon what the afterlife might give us when all is lost But here's only God and you No amends for the deeds you have done Can a destiny be so cruel that you are the one going down alone The Lord knows you tried to take us all with you Feel the demons crushing your chest As you cling to the comfort of the cross A coffin's your final fortress before the worms gnaw through rotten flesh and ghastly bones And from your demise a new disease will grow Like the inquisition we will hunt you down Even Death cries when we approach Cover your ears when you hear the thundering of hooves and rite blow of trumpets sound in the distance In every conflict we are always closer than you think

You should know by now that I despise you Everything you are makes me who I am Through your desperation I narrow your view I will forever be there to bring death upon man I bestow you... life I bestow you... death Under mental siege, sense the swear upon your brow I control your every move Trying to push through walls of flesh But they are as a fire, and they burn within you Nothing can extinguish the harsh flames You are as dry wood Wishing for peace but in the ashes all is dead There is no paradise, no golden gates through which to be led What I sometimes lead you to believe is that I'm gone Through this I give you strength, only to bring you even more down! Where you prosper I lay waste the crops Forcing you to taste the rotten fruits of life Hungry jaws are waiting to tear you apart Eager to hear as another cry dies A master of deception I am I rape and I nourish the land You can see me, you'll always feel me My presence will drain your body... empty You try to deny my existence, and I can't blame you I follow your every footstep on this sour ground Hah! I dare you to put an end to me At this stage it's not your scene anymore No, don't ask for my sympathy! On the edge of the grave no one can help The blood that's pulsating, feel the running sweat There's no escape, just another test Observing the movements of all shapes and sounds The fear becomes more ugly and alive than before Crippled and beaten you carve at the walls with a stick You cannot win this war You'll end up as shallow and wicked as me Tortured and severed by your own misery Bow your head, and accept that I live in you A fire so destructive, all life it consumes With mocking heavy steps I come What you see is what it has made me become

Fallen from grace, I'm a bloody mess of flesh and a dead saint Treacherous and sinister, I am sin alter sin, pain after pain My soul is on fire, as I march with no fear in my heart To encounter the beast that killed every spark The truth shall set the world aflame But it will never set you free The sky above is the last thing you will see Before you how down your head in shame And slowly suffocate in the arms of the deceased A hell where you shall suffer their pain infinitely They say your heart is weighed against the good you have done But sometimes the dark can find us and take us down For all the sins we are tempted to commit We stand in the shadows of the tree, listening for the serpent's hiss We cannot wait for the day our laughter will echo in Hell Our unclean spirits united to burn eternally Chained to the log like a dog you loots shall forever be Cause it's too late to start shedding tears Grinding the bones of the shoulders that shall carry you all Cause your guilt weighs more than the weight of the world To beg for death is what you shall regret For at His hand there is no chance to repent But the slave will always try to bite his way through the leash And around him they are many who failed due to the wrong beliefs Their mad jaws snapping against you as you try to break free Banging your fists till they're all bloody against the wall But if you're patient enough you will hear the call Which is the prized possession you will know as insanity Into the chalice of tears you will weep, and from it we will drink And raise a victorious toast to the fall of those that follow your belief The same cold eyes, the same sinful pride No, it's just too late to hide, for they can never die The eyes that stare at you from inside the tomb Arms crossed in spiteful harmony And the fingers point at where you soon will be Side by side with the dead eyes that stare eternally Forever doomed from the moment of birth Life is to always walk in the shadow of Death And as your remains are lowered into the earth The abyss sucks you in with one heaving breath Greet Eternal Hell...

I drank of your poison, and I praised your name You led me to ruin, and tricked me to take part in your shame Though seasons change, in your hell you shall remain I will praise the day when you lie dead in your grave I'll eat the hand that feeds you A sadistical beast, you seek the tight grip of the noose Watch you starve, naked, beaten and forlorn I'll be the henchman that sets you loose Drugged from the first touch by your hand A trophy, still breathing, lies waiting for your death Once field in mental chains, this dog's buy now unleashed Firm jaws now snap across your neck Possessed eyes encircling every move Let the sounds of the night suffocate your lament The shadows darkening your face Endless scorn buried in my veins As a constrictor I'll sense your warm pulse Sepulchre, tins is your time to die as those you have hurt The choir of your twisted gospels forever rings in my ears Onward cowards salvation, I know I can't win Grinding the wheels of my existence To always feel persecuted on a trail of treason and fear Cause I know you will escape from the womb that sucked you in Carefully watching me as I burn in the ruins where I stored the anger within

Expect no mercy, nor sympathy from my hand Cause mentally I'm six feet under A sight that seems to satisfy every beast in man For what is virtue worth, if not to rape and plunder? Soft eyes staring down godforsaken corridors Reliving the memories that brought them comfort Only to be reminded that nothing lasts forever This fever burns and spins on to the never My spirit is soon to burst within this prison of flesh, but I no longer care Harsh is the caress that life has given me, and there is nothing more for me here I leave behind me a bloody path In screams of anguish I give in to the dark So many victories, still never ending battles to be won And now it strikes me the battle “me” was the one Battered to a zero, pounded to dust Loss of all respect and all trust In the eyes of this mockery I slit my veins open And smile as I die in the presence of the life I've broken Your cries will fall upon deaf ears Cause in my world now there's nothing but fear Above, on earth, and below there is nothing On a river of treacherous currents I am floating I feel wounded when you sympathize Feel alive when you tell me lies! Cause all that you have left me is the image that possessed me to believe that nothing good can ever come from a smile! I question the purpose of your existence... cause all you do is leave me in doubt! Nothing to fight, nothing to fight for So why did I fight? The world was my whore, but I didn't grab the chance Endless death now lies in my path, I'm truly damned I cling to the tombstone that carries my name All of you around me gathered, you will end the same way A flash of melancholic glory bursts before my eyes My veins have turned to ice... darkness

Wrapped around your remains are the cold walls And the worms that strip you of all dignity From womb to tomb, the first of breaths makes the call And prepares us to be lowered into the dark to state into eyes that scream in apathy Our arms stretch against the tide as we beg for forgiveness for our sins But we know as one journey ends, another begins Greeted by the only one we fear to expect, the sad shape of grim death But such is the nature of the beast, to never succumb and give into our fears Against such force not one of us can ever compete Hear the whisper of the wind as it calls your name across the fields The sky above seems no longer as clear as it used to be And as the end draws nigh, the anger and fear set in An eternal struggle to keep our heads held high as we melt like wax in this cauldron of lost lives Punished for what you sought out to be A worthless pawn cursed to forever be at the first step on the ladder of society Buried deep inside our hearts there's a vast abyss Where no feeling can take away the fear of losing ourselves in there On nights when we can feel it call us to cease to exist We close our eyes, and beg for the voice to take us away from here No one to scream at you as you fall down Inside a world that only you know That is where we long to be To feel the wonders of death as it sets us free If a question is left unanswered when you break free from all misery And the echoes of all the screams disappear from your ears Just let the cold hands around your body guide you To where you finally can rest after all these years As the serpent curls its body around your neck Take a last look at the sky above you Within your mind as your life flashes before your eyes the only thought is the certainty that you die alone As one dies, out from your death comes another life Such is the cycle, we can never die

All spikes now raised The gash called second thought, I pray it will heal Creating a pantomime play In the absence of a better way to escape Entombed in flesh Buried when born.... alive Always on guard For what is come and what is always there I wish me away from here For the sake of myself, and for all die others that may care I head for the certain fall The mob in my head screams its foul mouthed slander Applauding the steps that I take All I know is that I'm one step from the grave Tranquilizing myself with thoughts of death to rest, Or I may never sleep again But do not try to wake that which hides inside of me I know, and you might learn, it's not a friend My foul flesh intoxicated by havoc And the fear of hell has cost us all dearly Now the evidence has become so clear I have made us all into something I fear Walk no further away from me I want you to watch as yet another part of me dies Look into my eyes... The mental fortresses I have built Now I'll gone in a ruin of blood and hate A rhapsody of crimson, the blade twists and turns This demon tears at my mind Cutting all strings of hope, preparing myself to burn All angels fear my kind It is а long way home... to a new haven

Time grinds slowly, yet the wheel never seems to turn And as so many times before I stare into the night And let it take me away Outside the Dome where images twist into form Like a typhoon of dead faces that won't leave me alone I stagger towards the burial ground And here it calls again This cancer that feeds off me Running away from death A cold naked body staining the winding sheets Blindfolded and paralyzed, the ideal scenery is set For the parasite that feeds on the sick Pulled by the hair and kicked down the stairs of its cortex A labyrinth of darkness, hear the moans of the tortured For you should know we're the ones to take the blame Worthless offerings torn to shreds by the fangs of the insane At the final stage of madness I will find my peace No more to desperately cling to a lifelong disease And from there another journey has started As I enter the catacombs of the departed Yet still it calls for me In death there is no relief On the fields of death every path leads to an open grave Time and time again, in my hands the hangman's noose And here I will stay Hiding in the wind, where I can dream and descend To where no light can harm me, no sun to burn my wounds Only the prayers that call me back to the dawn

Treasure the bruises, they might be all you get in life As you cover yourself in rags and embark on your face Neither God nor man will ever be free from the pain inside We must all burn as heretics at the hypocrites imaginary stake For a life filled with wonder and the fresh hope we all have in every breath The curse of the father shall slit our veins from inside Here we lay down our last hopes in life and die side by side Around our bodies Death beats the drum to our heartbeats that are about to die... The echoes of the heart are no more We're taken down the path of tears to drown Hands upon the shoulders in line of the others that have departed We walk in numbers, greeting the waves to take us down But for every soul that stands at death's door We only crave for more As we on bended knees long for the days now gone Do we even know what we long for? All that we possessed in life through honorable work and strife Now disappears from the sight of our eyes Greet the increasing fire we know awaits as we fall down To Hell and the punishment for our mischief Our lives are fragile as glass in the grip of the beast Will it give us death or darkness? Shall we take the places of the ones who fell before us? Will they be laid to rest? Or will their screams unite in a choir so grotesque? Across these fields only dead men fear not to thread I will lead you back to where you came from Back to the night and all that you feared To not be a father, just a son Are we all just left behind? Unwanted voices that tell us how hell is going to be Let them inside and they will be right So many choices that we cat, not separate what we see What has always been in front of you shining bright The world has reached its end! Gloria!
