Recollections of the Insane
Die Embrace the fire's sacrifice In scorching flames I rise An ancient sacrificial rite The pain makes me divine Living for an entity A life of sorrow and pain Deprived of all the pleasures to walk the sacred way A force-fed morality instilled with endless prayers A sacrificed existence to please the unknown one A sacrifice through fire Its flames will cleanse my soul The promise of eternity In death I'll be reborn Engulfed between the tongues of fire that lick away my life Thickening of boiling blood, blessed by an end divine Dilapidated living now too late to realize Divine immolation, through fire arise Bound to your divinity Confined into blind faith Fearing your own savior who died for you in vain Aroused by guilty pleasures Relinquishing the flesh An offer to the gods to grant eternal rest A sacrifice through fire Its flames will cleanse my soul The promise of eternity In death I'll be reborn Engulfed between the tongues of fire that lick away my life Thickening of boiling blood, blessed by an end divine Dilapidated living now too late to realize Divine immolation, through fire arise Flames biting the flesh Body twisting uncontrolled Pulverized, reduced to ash The spirit leaves the barren host Die Embrace the fire's sacrifice In scorching flames I rise An ancient sacrificial rite The pain makes me divine Dying for an entity A death in screams of pain Deprived of human dignity to walk the sacred way Bound to your divinity confined into blind faith Fearing your own savior who died for you in vain A sacrifice through fire Its flames will cleanse my soul The promise of eternity In death I'll be reborn Engulfed between the tongues of fire that lick away my life Thickening of boiling blood, blessed by an end divine Dilapidated living now too late to realize Divine immolation, through fire arise

Life hanging from a thread, tempted to kiss the lips of death Hang the rope or cut the throat, towards the end's the only road This can’t be real, I can’t break free, fighting for my sanity Trading the bodily prison to become one with the earth Subconscious mental struggle, spectre of my mind An altered state of being, dwelling darkness resides Devoured by internal turmoil, eating away my soul Unstoppable repentance, when will it take its toll? Burning soaring thoughts, no words to describe The torturing malignancy of what goes on inside Walls are closing in, blades rip thru my skin Swallowed by the emptiness, Cursed by a graceless life My fate set and carved in stone, I shall embrace As I walk the final steps To bring my soul at ease Drowned into the sea of sorrow by my own hands Driven to the edge of madness I've kissed the lips of death Death in the air, blows in my ears Dark Visions pass before my eyes Walls closing in, blades rip my skin Cursed by a graceless life Life hanging from a thread, tempted to kiss the lips of death Hang the rope or cut the throat, towards the end's the only road This can’t be real, I can’t break free, fighting for my sanity Trading the bodily prison to become one with the earth Burning soaring thoughts, no words to describe The torturing malignancy of what goes on inside Walls are closing in, blades rip thru my skin Swallowed by the emptiness, Cursed by a graceless life My fate set and carved in stone I shall embrace Driven to the edge of madness I’ve kissed the lips of death

Night is falling Mortal creatures heeding the call Into the cave Enchanted by a mysterious stone Screaming Marching towards the magical source Torment Pounding their brains and shredding their skins apart Drilling their minds like a siren’s scream Into the darkness, a monolith Cryptic stone of evil erasing sanity Praise the mighty figure or live in lunacy Ancient pillar hiding the secrets of humanity Screeching sounds piercing the ears of those who heed Unearthly powers luring the lives of the undead Mesmerizing chants of the abyss driving their lives insane Drilling their minds like a siren’s scream Into the darkness, a monolith Cryptic stone of evil erasing sanity Praise the mighty figure or live in lunacy A mystery in darkness Unknown to mankind Like sirens screaming Drilling their minds Into the darkness it takes you away To eternal madness enlightens the way Craving flesh, feasting on their bodies alive Down on their knees, praising the ungodly stone Feeble victims lured into self-destruction Maddening chants leaving the bodies ripped and torn Shredded, ripped and torn Drilling their minds like a siren’s scream Into the darkness, a monolith

From the abyss, I'll rise from the depths I'll cast my spells upon you Inferior creatures roaming the lands I come to claim what is due To please the fire Your time is up, his kingdom may not come Retribution awaits To my dominion surrender and take My guiding hand in the flames I'll lead the way Into the fire Infernal wrath unleashed upon you Doomed to the fiery depths Fear my coming, obey my commands Succumb to me and descend into the fire Mighty I stand into my realm Beyond the gate to the other side Onwards to fire The afterlife Master of evil, undisputed king I rule the unearthly kind Follow the dark path, chasing the flame On wings of fire I ride Onwards to fire The afterlife Mighty I stand, into my realm Beyond the gate to the other side Onwards to fire The afterlife

Forced into a cage, labeled as insane Chained up to these walls with no hope to escape Anger dominates my life, existence full of rage I hear the screams of restless souls in these empty halls Another dawn in darkness, the sentence of my days Inside the walls of madness, I walk the darkest ways Slowly dying in pain from what would cure my brain I split my skull against the wall exhaling my last breath A starless sky I’m forced to see, freedom is away Judgement of the impure set me where I lay Shattered visions of the past, the only thing that remains Death cannot come soon enough Between these concrete walls I hate Another dawn in darkness, the sentence of my days Inside the walls of madness, I walk the darkest ways Slowly dying in pain from what would cure my brain I split my skull against the wall exhaling my last breath Fragments of light Are blown away As my last hope faces its fate The track of time A freedom’s lust A scattered memory of the past Another dawn in darkness, the sentence of my days Inside the walls of madness, I walk the darkest ways Slowly dying in pain from what would cure my brain I split my skull against the wall exhaling my last breath Forced into a cage, labeled as insane Chained up to these walls with no hope to escape Shattered visions of the past, the only thing that remains Death cannot come soon enough Between these concrete walls I hate I hear the screams of restless souls in these empty halls Another dawn in darkness, the sentence of my days Inside the walls of madness, I walk the darkest ways Slowly dying in pain from what would cure my brain I split my skull against the wall exhaling my last breath Inside the walls of madness, I walk the darkest ways Inside the walls of madness Inside the walls of pain

Ascending the path of distress Oblivious, awaiting at the crest A final design engraved into the soul Annihilating the laws of God Refusing existence below its throne Embrace the virtue of demise Challenging mortality at the tip of the knife Annihilation, nefarious decline Fiery eviction, the fall of the damned Drawn into the depths from the heights Bodies transform as they fall Malignant forms twist and contort Fleeting moment of insanity, Seducing the thought of mortality Gazing into the void Torment and fire await Annihilation, nefarious decline Fiery eviction, the fall of the damned Malignant forms twist and contort Repugnant corpses to hell they fall Annihilation, nefarious decline Fiery eviction, the fall of the damned On top of the crest breathless I stand The deepest abyss whispers my fate Prophetic winds dictate my end Into the depths rebirth awaits Voices beyond the void Evoking the fallen ones Darkness resides within the soul Uncontrolled attraction to the unknown Storming the gates above Raising the troops of God Visions of total darkness The serpent is set to arise Ecstasy of evil, wings of demise Challenging mortality At the tip of the knife

Trapped in nightmares With vivid horrid screams Balanced on dream and reality In the darkness of primal inner paths Through meanders of the sickened realms In the abyss where lost souls dwell Entangled for eternity, is this what they call hell? Shattered beyond conception Bewildered, my existence torn Separation from the earthly world Termination of the conscious self Estrangement from what I once knew Pulled into a gateway I lost all control I was blind but now I see Stratified realities Entering the unknown, the kingdom of your fears Dragged into a dimension, am I dead or in a dream? Omnipresent shadow breathing down my neck Paralyzing terror, menacing threat Sudden tremble, crawling up the spine Twisting of the guts dreadful delight Irreversible inception, mirror of thyself Everlasting ride, as above so below I was blind but now I see Stratified realities I was blind but now I see Stratified realities Irreversible inception, the truth unveils I was blind but now I see Transcending through the portal the curtain falls Another soul is taken and forever lost
