Absence

I take a deep dive Plunge into downward spiral I am after virtue Once again, after virtue still alive Shades of existence can't quench my thirst, my burning thirst The Worst pain will never, ever vanish from this insane world Will, power and pride Kill my frailty inside Silence futile words Darken fearful eyes I choose my side, yield myself to the beast Or to immortality, nihil, vancancy The world is declining, crumbling down to the ground Wormwood delusions torment me in the end of the century The world is declining, sinking low below the edge Breeding offspring of lunacy in the end of the century I tear apart the canvas The final triumph of my creation The ecstasy of decay I am wriggling on the filthy floor Trance of addiction I must obey my muse, my frantic muse They abuse my weakness The make me shed my soul once more Everything is losing away it's meaning here Everything is fading away like you and me Just burn out, just die down, slip off yourself Fall of the West, fall of this unearned dignity

A real of the dark hemisphere They signed us here for life Enchained us, tore away our pride No will to resist, no will to exist Experimenting with these newly born A little game with the insane Rolling back the time for centuries Make us live and die like our fathers Harvest the damned, reap the bleak Bring here for us to bear Enchanted simplicity For a mind, so blind, so open to find This mere bliss, sheer emotion They call this fate Sincere, unreal devotion Controls this mind Blanks out this anger Inner peace, enchains me Entities fall off from the timeline Burning will, storms there still, suffocated thrill Subconscious ravishment

First drop, first untied knot Long lost time unveiling its lies Waiting for inevitable Only rise to fall When these days are like yesterdays I'm too proud to feel the same Welcome here where it all ends My hopes, my fears, my dreams So silent after rain, so calm the dawn The day so pale, I'll pray for mercy for the last time There is Hell for me to feel, for me to hear Hell for me to kneel, for me to sear In the eye of the blind for the last time All the words of the numb to hear Glimpses of past too shallow to last These fragments too hollow to feel To hear, to feel, to sear Last drop, last untied knot Time to unleash all demons inside Waiting here for the last lines I'll close my eyes

He came by the shore From dark, so sick so frail In gloom of his eyes The fear he couldn't restrain I'll try to capture the feeling I'm feeling inside I won't hide it I'm second to none I want to enter my pain My slain memories My final atrocity I'm second to none As time has passed by No trust, no place for relief I will adopt my fate My desire was more than this Falling into infinity This is, who I, this is who I am Washed by the waves Embraced by the infinite sea Nevermore, the darkest deed For the one once beside me

This voice, it spake Tempted me to keep awake Thus I realized When there is no truth, there are no lies You're here, so sincere To fathom the deepest fear Misguide, this life Away from truth, away from its line Hey, away Today's less painful than tomorrow here Hey hey, this way These words won't carry out a promise here This voice, now gone My part here is finally done Now I do realize There was no truth, there were no lies This greed to breathe The will I am longing to wreathe No words, no lies All foul will last, all beautiful dies A dream, a nightmare A spasm of fleeting joy So sincere, enchanting A spasm of tempting void Awaken, words taken All hollow, so shallow These words have no meaning These words carry out no truth here

Woes of mankind, too dark to desire Breathe the fumes of death and decay It all depends on when everything ends Enter this place Enter disgrace Enter this void, this forgotten soil No one will ever leave Tempts me, tempts you, chains us deep inside Like one of our kin Throw your hope to the flames that are burning bright Be damned within Come dwell where forgotten redeem their price Slaves so sickening Step in, to an endless pyre Our blood becomes thin Hark at old man, his appealing words For there lies the truth forevermore Poisonous, full of deceit He will cloud the reason of us all Promised myself, deceived myself I am prey of the Tempter Waiting in this ancient inn, in this very room I am prey of the Tempter

Morning bleeds me pale Words feel so numb I'm frozen in a place of time I'm stuck to where I left A modest wish has come true A thought I never meant For a light that was so bright The night sets forever Turn your face towards the one that's deranged Tell me the truth, I'm not here For a light that was so bright The night sets forever So jaded, I am here And again, filled with grief For a light that was so bright The night sets forever In my chamber of liquid dreams The one I feel, the one I beseech Hunt for life for a non-divine The anguish leads to the world I entreat Here we lie in silent breeze In this vault it makes me feel How my world is shred by grief How this thing just should not be

All veiled in same silence All wonders in same equation Forever disequilibrium holds The pulse of our existence will fade Illusions over matter and mind A dream is a dream, no more Straight lines and circles of time Ignore other forms of continuum Truth was never more than a one view of the world Lies, history's scars are too deep Lost souls of millions I bear Lost thoughts of aeons I hear More questions than there were answers Our paths cross on an unknown shore All veiled in same silence All wonders in same equation Where past, present and future sleep These fallacies will never die I believe what I see I see what I choose to believe Where answers I seek Questions are hidden from me I'm an illusion of my past An illusion of mine is my future The end is the end The end is where I begin

My heart devours the emptiness This lonely need from deep within To breach through these decadent dreams My heart yearns for a step astray For an escape, perfect deceive To break through these elegant needs I am crawling before thy grace Leave me to die alone I am cringing before thy tears Leave me to thrive in pain This fateful essence All life's adornments Too distant from this realm Absent from this world So let us stray Enter dream, escape Lull ourselves into oblivion And let us wait For a serene day Lead ourselves into delirium I deny this fateful coil forevermore

I've waited for this night in shame They say, it's the grace of the great anonymous doom Don't help me, I'm not falling yet For woe, I won't forego the moment of great anonymous doom Still awake, it may take all day So silent and slow, like infinite flow The fuel of great anonymous doom Not for me a wish For hope or for mirth I long to be tied in a coil of rebirth Absent and pale In black-eyed night I'd hate to be wrapped in a veil of delight Once I leave In graceful flames, I long to be burned Once all leave Once when I leave, I never return In a dream that flies over the darkest lullabies This was my fate, a wish to sedate in presence of great anonymous doom My wish, was to be just like this A dark distant shade that lingers, delays in coming of great anonymous doom
