Chronos

I was dragged into this world screaming Pulled by the waves towards the grave I resist the flow only to suffer The river of life flows to death I wistfully gaze back At the levees and the banks And the chances not taken Dragged back Lost in the tide of entropy Suffer this curse though unfaulted Dragged down Lift my head, it's hard to breathe To desist succumbs to drowning Betrayed by ignorance Have I sealed my fate? To forever envy those years Years that were just fucking wasted Demons defied I've mastered my own mind The illusion becomes clear As the grave starts to appear No prisoners, compensation or refunds What's done is done, time is fucking ruthless I had to lose it just to want it and now I mourn it Say goodbye to your family and your loved ones What's done is done, time is fucking ruthless I had to lose it just to want it and now I mourn it And still we trade our precious time To the lowest bidder Demons defied I've mastered my own mind The illusion becomes clear As the grave starts to appear Dragged to the welcoming void To hide from the rising sun Crushed by the weight of my sins The conversion has just begun Rip the stars from the skies No light will encroach these cowering eyes In darkness I dwell To hide from my horror of my hell Peace, bury me in my own filth For respite Demons rejoice as they rip my soul apart Fragments of me feed the horde They feast on my sorrow I was doomed from birth

Valar, Maiar, I am impregnable Secret fire, new life for war You seek silence, impossibility is never assured Mere mortals will be controlled Stemming from the summit Peering to the other side He appears in human form Seeking compliant and acquiescent domiciles To be consumed Beyond the walls of night Delving deep in the earth From the mountains of the north Evil flows from the surface His time has come Camouflaged in a cloak of shadow Shrouded, web of deception Inside the minds of lesser beings of light She is my allegiant disciple Made of concentrated void defecation She serves me An analogous companion of greed First, I sow your mind with overbearing seeds of cynicism Until your halls fall to discord Now, deprived of life I take your stones of power You're hers to devour Stemming from the summit Peering to the other side He appears in human form Seeking compliant acquiescent domiciles To be consumed Beyond the walls of night She's craving the power Her mind was turned There's no escape from all those eyes Total adulterated dissipation Drinking the light of the Trees of Valinor Strangling passing light in webs of gloom She turns her eyes to her master Trapped Betrayed By my abattoir of old Here comes the horde Sheathed in shadow with wings of flame They drive her off with their might and power So now cut down your master My dominion will encompass Arda Stemming from the summit Peering to the other side He appears in human form Seeking compliant acquiescent domiciles To be consumed We assemble fire, pure tenebrosity Eloquence surrounding light No mollification, agony assured Death comes to all Dorning a crown of ancient jewels An agglomeration of power Black foe of the world We march toward the powerless personification of the meek Primordial

They saw the fall Of their great elation They were free of gods until their hopes were stolen in silence And so he came A sleeping power Knowledge fails, the saviour appears to save them from their darkest hour Farms for the restoration Of the declining population Hollow lives feed the war machine Unsatiated horrors unseen Last chance for the survival of their Species, they are born to serve, not just in life but even in death To demise does not conclude That their duty comes to an end For there's far worse things than war One thousand souls to the throne To feed their dying god Contorted display of agony Faces showing nothing but fear No peace, they'd slit their wrists if they knew the horror That awaits them all as they're used to feed his power Black ships carry the weak to the hollow mountain Their service to their god forever bounden They saw the fall Of their great elation They were free of gods until their hopes were stolen in silence And so he came A sleeping power Knowledge fails, the saviour appears to save them from their darkest hour Tyrant His children Fell, abomination science In the old night Religion preyed for dominance Preyed on their fears Prayed for a god They were answered with enslavement Deemed vital for survival From this universe-spanning xenophobic war Where sin fuels chaos Demons worm their way into the hearts of doubt Oh, the lord will save us Unbeknownst his hesitancy had doomed them from salvation They saw the fall Of their great elation They were free of gods until their hopes were stolen in silence And so he came A sleeping power Knowledge fails, the saviour appears to save them from their darkest hour All hail the emperor of man All hail our dying god

This is the last time I hide from death I was afraid to say goodbye (So I left you to die) You were the monolith on which I grew my wings I never deserved your gift You were a blessing to me Seeds of despair (Heaven) Angels I beg pierce the veil (Gained) Carry my words to my lost love (A) Sorrow and grief is all I know (Hero) Seeds of despair is all I sow They're all I fucking sow, these seeds of despair This is the last time I take a knee I was afraid to watch it еat at your mind Consuming all I know Mind disconnecting from its soul Oh, what a cruel life it is To crawl through shit еvery single fucking day Hoping to find that security in life That piece of gold dangling on a fucking stick To distract you from the truth that in the end We die alone We die alone with nothing But fear Faithful I watch the children of God, they weep in sorrow We watch the smoke rise live on tomorrow I'm surrounded by snakes they shed their rotten skin See the coward within I'm fucking sick of this Hold your tongue, keep the peace You didn't give a fuck in life and you now you feign once deceased Swallow the hate These seeds will germinate Mark my words, this deception will not be forgiven soon So I'm now calling you out I'm so sick of my shit (You're fucked) One finger forward and three pointing back Mark my words, this deception will not be forgiven soon So I'm now calling you out I'm so sick of my shit (Fuck you) One finger forward and three pointing back (Heaven) Angels I beg pierce the veil (Gained) Carry my words to my lost love (A) Sorrow and grief is all I know (Hero) Seeds of despair is all I sow They're all I fucking sow, these seeds of despair, seeds of despair I am my thoughts I'm suffering Born world of hate Born, yearn to die Seeds of despair

As I stand upon the edge of life I look down on the shadows that I've cast in time Across the wastelands I see myself, devoid of colour A void of life, a void of life You are my fight before I kneel to eternal silence Now my mind struggles against its own illusion Darkness torments me I felt the old storm returning Lost and cold I fight To wake up from this nightmare This climb, decline, one day will be lost to the realms of time Existing in the ambience In this bright light Hues refract as I bathe in sunlight I nеver gave up the fight Taking time for myself is proving harder with each passing around the sun The black dog's hold is only worsening As I stand upon the edge of life I look down on the shadows that I've cast in time Across the wastelands I see myself, devoid of colour A void of life, a void of life You are my fight before I kneel to eternal silence I see myself, devoid of colour A void of life, a void of life A void of life, a void of life
