A gathering nearby the deathless balk, (beneath) sable vultures, that circle round the dead Forthcoming loss preludes the end of entity, these former nameless, the seed of primal bare calamity Filthy silence awaits an ancient revelation Stormclouds gather forever, evoked storms collect I still remember the words they said, I can still hear sardonic laughs Now I'm expelled – the outcast one (Walk) through sylvan graveyards, where light touches none Am I to be the last traversing baleful wilderness? Amidst these woods so vast, obeying my own restlessness I'm following the trail of synthesis, nothing else remains to be done I'm longing for a path right out of this I feel exhausted, my endmost chance has gone? For what reason do I pass this burial lair? Is there even a season? Yet the treetops pant for air! For what reason … What if these fiendish roots trail to my grave? Lightheaded and fevered, am I the only one (who is) able to save me? What if these fiendish roots trail to my grave? Lifeless, insensible, life turns out to enslave me Am I the only one (who is) able to save me? Lifeless, insensible, life turns out to enslave me Underneath, I feel their rise – my fall A fading bliss, their evident voracity, the coffin bearers raise to coffin me Down below, I feel their rise – my fall to end this show, their evident voracity, the coffin bearers raise to coffin me For what reason do I pass this burial lair? Is there even a season? What if these fiendish roots trail to my grave? Lightheaded and fevered, am I the only one (who is) able to save me? Horizons vanish forever, evoked storms collect I still remember the words they said, I can still hear sardonic laughs I'm the expelled – the outcast one (Walk) through sylvan graveyards, where light touches none Am I to be the last traversing baleful wilderness? Amidst these woods so vast, obeying my own-restlessness Obeying my own-restlessness … traversing baleful wilderness? Restlessness! … traversing baleful wilderness? Restlessness!

Pitch black tides of fury lash against my eclipsed soul Silence dashed to pieces, evanescent tears I bleed Erasing all life, immersed in this burning black From darkest waters I soar, waiting to be revived Force me down-I rise above, carried by frigorific winds I fly towards the luminary, embraced by the breaking dawn Floating endlessly through measured time A deep burning thirst I feel inside Finally here … … run ashored in the yesteryears Shifting colours of flickering shades, masquerader of oblivion melting into muted dreams Withered fingers tear apart memories piece by piece A blind fury dissolving in euphoria Seraphic light illuminates the darkest hour, displacing the sombre infinity Mesmerized-I soak up the sun, and I grab hold of life Floating endlessly through measured time A deep burning thirst I feel inside Finally here … … run ashored in the yesteryears Go! Sustain the pain-the sculpture of obsession Cold water surface trembling of heat, a struggling unity with a withering core Desolate thoughts crumbling to dust till there is nothing but (bare) existence Mind unfurls Shifting colours of flickering shades, masquerader of oblivion melting into muted dreams Withered fingers tear apart memories piece by piece Pitch black tides of fury lash against my eclipsed soul Silence dashed to pieces, evanescent tears I bleed Erasing all life, immersed in this burning black From darkest waters I soar, waiting to be revived Floating endlessly through measured time A deep burning thirst I feel inside Finally here … … run ashored in the yesteryears

This is my unanswered call of consciousness Drifting across shallow dreams No time to wake up! No time to wake up! In this rush of insignificance, Hasty attempts to make contact, Leaving only traces of scorn No way out! No compromise! Destination: outcast Danger crawls in shattered glass, Starting to embrace the algid fluid (To) absorb the cold center of time The final frame, the final frame Go! Catch my hands-and run Through my fingers! Weeping tears of cold ash Bursting feverishly at (the) horizon Statues of grief standing on the sidelines The fathomless abyss stares into me Faded coloured memories, oh faded coloured memories Replace my pure existence With sonic speed, with sonic speed, Coenaesthesia into the nowhere I still remember … fragmentary … I still remember … disintegrating … I still remember … an overcast sky Starting to embrace the algid fluid (To) absorb the cold center of time The final frame, the final frame Go! Catch my hands-and run Through my fingers! Weeping tears of cold ash Bursting feverishly at the horizon Statues of grief standing on the sidelines The fathomless abyss stares into me Faded coloured memories, oh faded coloured memories Replace my pure existence With sonic speed, with sonic speed, Coenaesthesia into the nowhere … Blurred colours moan faintly in silence, Drawn from places, which once were shelter Trying to catch a small part of what was lost forever … lost forever

Far away at the horizon There glows a shimmering light Bloodred with a deadly touch-straight out of hell It seems (that) it awakes all the evil Inside humans' minds This is the rise of the unholy, The awakening of desire-nevermind No one can stop this hellish fire, Inflamed by the intensity of the crimson twilight Mother misery is always on our side, On our journey to find the crimson twilight The day when all hope has died, Is out of reach and out of sight I can feel the heat comin' around, The bloodred sky glows like thunder (This is) the beginning of a new empire Like darkness my soul turns to black Mother misery is always on our side, On our journey to find the crimson twilight The day when all hope has died, Is out of reach and out of sight Far away at the horizon There glows a shimmering light Bloodred with a deadly touch-straight out of hell It seems (that) it awakes all the evil Inside humans' minds This is the rise of the unholy, The awakening of desire-nevermind No one can stop this hellish fire, Inflamed by the intensity of the crimson twilight

As I ride through black dimensions With my saviours side by side, To defend our fortress so dark and proud Trapped in a corner, the breath of death in my neck, I try to hide for my last attack I do not want to die! All my life's a lie! This is what I have to say, Killing is the game I play! Thousands of thougths are running through my head What to do? All hope is dead, but nothing is lost I'll have to pay the price or I am lost You do not need to think that I will give up This is your blood that I spill! A voice says: "Destroy!" You do not need to think that I will give up This is your blood that I spill! My voice says: "Destroy!" "Destroy!" Weakness is a sign of suffering I call out your secret names I take charge of your morbid souls For I am lost in endless misery I do not want to die! All my life's a lie! This is what I have to say, Killing is the game I play! Thousands of thougths are running through my head What to do? All hope is dead, but nothing is lost I'll have to pay the price or I am lost You do not need to think that I will give up This is your blood that I spill! A voice says: "Destroy!" You do not need to think that I will give up This is your blood that I spill! My voice says: "Destroy!" "Destroy!"

Silhouettes drowning in a monosonic sound Moldered echoes of fallen grace Abysmal quietness, Weightless-the noise sphere The outcry of silence echoing forever in my head! Alone in desperate salvation-haunting the solace Floating through infinite wasteland Deep within my inner maze Emerald shadows shining in blackness, Secrets hidden from the light A pale fire in a sandglass Beseeching the scent of time Resounding from within, Tomorrow-a mere memory Constructed memories in linear space, Revealed and vanished, Never to be found again Smouldering presentiments, Already gone before they manifest Careful pondering leading nowhere Incarnate monosonic sound! Obscure echoes resound-resurrect the exiled choir Obscure echoes resound-unleash a shaded desire Obscure echoes resound-resurrect the exiled choir Slumberless drifting through endless nights Numberless pasts whirling deep inside Fading memories-only a trace of being Dead dreams trickle down with sand A pale fire in a sandglass Beseeching the scent of time Resounding from within, Tomorrow-a mere memory Silhouettes drowning in a monosonic sound Moldered echoes of fallen grace Abysmal quietness, Weightless-the noise sphere The outcry of silence echoing forever in my head! A pale fire in a sandglass Beseeching the scent of time Resounding from within, Tomorrow-a mere memory

Welcome, dear client of common bliss, My most charming guest-alias of all that is Graceful subject, portraying light's infinity, Yet you simper, an image of false clarity Obey my call! Step inside, inside … Sense this ghastly undertow! Curse you creatures of sanity! Your mournful elegy, (is just) a bitter supplication Curse you beings bound to gravity! Collapsing entity-an eerie constellation May I invite you? Join in our spiteful séance Unfold-you spirit, Challenge all mortality! A thousand hearts beat this interval bizarre Now arise, respond to our call! Descending to where history lies afar, Now arise, creation of a cursed man's fall! Creation of a cursed man's fall I am the challenger of immortality I am the advocate of sombre virtuosity I face the avenger, his foreseen tragedy I merely devastate all man's history! I face the avenger, the one bound to mortality I merely devastate all man's history! Curse you creatures of sanity-curse you! Curse you creatures of sanity! Your mournful elegy, (is just) a bitter supplication Curse you beings bound to gravity! Collapsing entity-an eerie constellation May I invite you? Join in our spiteful séance Unfold-you spirit, Challenge all mortality! Obey my call! Step inside, inside … I taste the dust of aeons, of a million years I am the menace feasting on your growing fears I taste the dust of aeons, of a million years I am the menace feasting on your growing fears

Still I can hear the calling It makes me afraid, what will be? My fear has gone several ways, I'm sure I have not failed I see the world with different eyes Will I see (the) light of day again? All this pain now is mine, (this) is the awakening of a second life I tried to touch what I had seen When I travelled in my world of dreams I was never asked to be The horror begins far beyond belief When my mind falls asleep, In my dreams there's darkness so deep When I thought that's the end, My life returned with time to spend The only thought in my mind Is to leave my sorrows left behind There's nothing to see but so much to feel My soul was laid to rest It's me, the grotesque! My demise waits for me I got isolated from my inner self Words can build walls of silence I'm living with eyes so blind Still I can hear the calling It makes me afraid, what will be? My fear has gone several ways, I'm sure I have not failed I see the world with different eyes Will I see (the) light of day again? All this pain now is mine, (this) is the awakening of a second life It's me, the grotesque!

The gates of hell are open wide, The smell of death comes from behind The path we ride is filled with hate, Believe me son, it's not too late! Welcome to my nightmare, (I am) forever lost in bitter sweet tragedy, I drown in words of sorrow A cold touch of misery comes over me (There's surely no tomorrow) The scenery is covered with black blood Out of (the) deepest lungs of hell I can see the angels falling This place is filled with rancid smell Diabolical monologue Nothingness is an undescribeable feeling, Without emotions, like black water with endless depth But when the dawn arises, A new era has begun Bodies taken from the grave, Buried beneath holy crosses Bodies covered with stabwounds, Embalmed, stiff and cold flesh The gates of hell are open wide, The smell of death comes from behind The path we ride is filled with hate, Believe me son, it's not too late! Welcome to my nightmare, (I am) forever lost in bitter sweet tragedy, I drown in words of sorrow A cold touch of misery comes over me (There's surely no tomorrow) The scenery is covered with black blood Out of (the) deepest lungs of hell I can see the angels falling This place is filled with rancid smell Diabolical monologue Nothingness is an undescribeable feeling, Without emotions, like black water with endless depth But when the dawn arises, A new era has begun
