As the Light Does the Shadow

All the ways to crush a soul Dressed naked, raped by heartless ghouls Slowly I left the livings sphere Into a world based on fear The will to die The desire to be The desire to fly The will to be free Once more did I wave good-bye They all knew that I was gonna die A life lived based on futile hopes Death would untie my ropes Trapped in this net of lies Missing the light in those eyes On the day that I lost my soul Did I finally reach my goal My demons, they were mocking my soul In hell you will know it was your own fault Before hell's throne I did find my way To the ghouls my soul was easy pray

A leper seated on the corner of a street in the new world Crying sorely, as he was destined for so much more Nobody helps him, they are busy reaching for the sun No more love or care, the leper is the last one He was the strongest, he was determined to help the weak He caught what he fought, the hatred of a world gone sick Condemned for an imperfect world, the path to hell in sight The bringer of light was blamed for the darkness of the night To count towards infinity within borders of finitude A lesser perfection, to obey is to break the rules Through quantum steps the path to hell is eternally trod It is time to break the seal of empathy What was true has become a lie Gravity will set you free Unleash upon the world your true misery Invite them to your labyrinth Make them pay for their sins Dare them step through the door Into the lair of the minotaur The cornerstone of their playground will soon be gone Their punishment is to become what they have done

Please excuse me if I do repulse thee I have still not found the strength to end it So I silently withdraw from your society To await for life to release its grip on me So many souls condemned to live isolated and alone Human warmth is swiftly dying in your perfect world Marvel at the beauty of your empire Our suicides will not convince you otherwise The architects behind your luxury Shall be the first to fall with your decline Still you force this to survive Though all it wishes is to die It can never exist among you Truth can never become untrue So excuse me if I do repulse thee I have finally found a way to end it I will silently withdraw from your society To await for lie to release its grip on me So many souls rejected for the essence of their thoughts Pearls cast before swines ensures that Hades keeps her warmth

We have gathered to honour those Who so early passed out of time Flock together to preserve some warmth Last children of mankind So many have died for a cause A cause without reason So few dared to take a stand Against the prevailing treason What science gave Science did take back All religions enslave We walk in our own tracks We are killing the sun To prove that there is none We have gathered for a last farewell To the essence of life itself Sing together on this final verse Last children of the universe They all suffered pain so that our time would gain The knowledge and wisdom to avoid it But we had to know for ourselves how it goes Impatiently causing our own ending The said don't touch, but we had to learn How it feels like to burn It was shining so bright, the ultimate light It blinded us all into darkness

At the marvels of shredded flesh Unfoldedin tormenting beauty, A stone fell to the heart And all was in vainN From ancient crypts arose That sibling of despair Spread like plague inside 'Till all and hope was slain. Icy black The beacon of this riverside. Thread the crust With childish glee. Draw night from the domes of heven And step gently on the porch of death. Soon all stars will shine and play Merrily on our skeletal keys. There will be silence and night Like none had ever dreamt, Even in the fathoms of wit and reason. So lay to rest 'Neath crying pines When dusk brings rain. Copper tongue, it must be death Flooding, my mouth and muse tonight. Your time will come In cryptic images.

Abandoned empathy Is this how life ought to be A grander theory Morality replaced with greed Vice become virtue And virtue unwise Material fortune Our souls where the price Within the sands of time is stored the data of our minds Through the sands of time unfolds the tragedy of our kind From the cross to the stake, to the trepanning chair Another cup of poison is swallowed in despair In the dead of night comes the memories I recall the things that they did to me The art of torture has its origin in hell In our basic nature, the mastery handled well We have been created in the image of infinite pain The path that lies behind us denotes the future as it has been laid To seek the truth Is to swim in a sea of lies To speak the truth Is suicide in disguise Cartesian reality Truly caused by insanity A cure for the disease Remove what does not exist In the dead of night they came for me To remove the thoughts that they caused to be

Holocaust, freedom lost The price we pay, for living our way Obey the norm, conform or be gone Please just let us die alone We are soon going home We are not fit to live among you Prejudice makes itself true A self fulfilling prophecy When your point of view became ideology We are no longer of utility In our new order for society Only those who comply shall pass Into your new utopias black mass Please supply us with the means to die We are unworthy to exist by your side Since we became to ill for slavery Only a burden to society The morning bell, another day in hell A master-plan, to those who understand So many in pain, still their hands remain clean We are sorry for opposing you But our last virtue is the truth You are the servants of the ruling class Safe when bowing to their lies Infected with sympathy We pose a threat to your reality We are no longer welcome in your lives So please provide us with the means to die We are the symptoms of dystopia Our extinction shall bring forth your paradise

The fate of the damned The absence of heaven forever mourned To walk among men Eternally reborn, souls forlorn We are bound to this earth Cursed to be crushed beneath eves foot Yet another rebirth Destined to carry the burden of lot An empty hell for our own well A full heaven that no longer sells An empty promise from your deity A world full of hate seals its destiny Come take my hand Find shelter in the realm of the damned Its founder have long gone But no one here will do you harm Their shepherd has grown weak Allowing the wolves to attack his sheep Try to understand We once served by his right hand Through millenia we were taught A lesson he himself has forgot The sensations of dirt In dying is found the core of life We were damned from our births To material desert, spiritual night There is a mark on our souls Burnt for our disobedience Recognised by the trolls Caught, then released through lenience Follow me Into a richer reality Step upon the gallows trap Enter your new home as you fall through the gap

Bitter-sweet nostalgia... Desire pulls hard, But it's too late. Dead are all my virtues And gifts. It dulls not any pains, And hard covet Reaps a poor harvest In these latter days. Starve me in Boneman torture. Skin-tight lover. Pound upon pound Of flesh paid well With gnawing ache, And hunger. But your want lies asleep, Under frozen layers of ignorance. Or even fear. Dressed in sacrilege, I sprawl in hurt And wear thorns Just for you. Read my scars, Count my sorrows, But see me ! 'Lest the cruel beauty In my song face the trial Of deaf ears. And that is truly worse than death. I dance in your spirit And sleep so well in your arms. Awake unattainable one... Awake...

I surrender my heart to thee I bow my soul in misery Take my hand where I stand alone Guide me safe on my way back home Take my heart and eat it warm Filled with wisdom to mankind forlorn I bow before your eathborn son Guiding me with claws and horns And I praise the messenger Your time on earth has now come The fallen one has given birth Praise the morning son He now walks the earth Release my soul and let me be Your hand on earth in victory Fallen one
