1. The Art Of Coming Apart

I am closer to freshly earth below than to spirited air above
Sure enough, to breath means to live
But do I have any breath, any lungs?
And above all I'm waiting and sharing tides for a deathless while
Touching land like an anchor, irrevocably run aground admits the yet uncovered

Heaven remains silent, ground talks in whispers
Thou grand charmer-longing for this morbid flirt
Eternal rest grant to me!
'Cause nothing seems as perfect as the art of coming apart
Beneath the dead standing tree, all is covered with coal-black leafage
Ground is gone...

Somehow strange, I tough feel save
I am counting static clouds, time and time again echoing the same line:
"I envy the Calm"
Am I immune to life?
Thou sage of absurd!
I am breathless furthermore I'm sleepless!
I am nameless, lately I'm soulless!
I am about to decide deadness, my inside-a Stygian darkness
And above all I'm waiting and sharing tides for a deathless while
Touching land like an anchor, irrevocably run aground admits the yet uncovered

2. Barren And Bleak

(Drawn) into the muteness of denying the self
The cold breeze of a moment of stillness is blowing grim and frightful, irreversible and iron-clad
Just for one second, again...
Motionless,static,frozen up breath, my thoughts-drifting into endless spheres of relentlessly burning fears
Into my secret consolation-my apparent desperation
Into my secret consolation-fragmentation of creation

Alone, legs weak, with fear-barren and bleak
Traced by somber, sighing shadows and roaring dust
I am waiting while the star of sadness is standing still under this sinister red clouded skies,
Where all tears are wept in silence

Captured in a locked room...
Shady grey shadows cover an icy wilderness, inside this madness,
Inside bowels of dark endlessness, within this trembling abyss
Motionless,static,frozen up breath, my thoughts-drifting into endless spheres of relentlessly burning fears
And I am waiting while the star of sadness is standing still under this sinister red clouded skies,
Where all tears are wept in silence

3. Four Winters

The days to come seemed so clear
Another (ephemeral) flickering of bliss, Gleaming light like a kiss to mortal given
They walk the treacherous trail and find themselves alone
GO! Walk!
Cause they're sinking down on knees when they close tired eyes and lips
Nobody knows that they're down and out
No one will ask what they need, although they bleed... although they bleed...

Abandoned, regnant helplessness
Over and over forced to hide sorrows many times
Only the wuthering silence in that solitude overshadows this burning, breathing blackness
Four winters are coming!
Augury of commemoration's whithered flowers
Four winters are drawning!
Augury of commemoration's frozen flowers

The hollow, The absence, Close to the tides of sadness
Swallowing, dissolving into restlessness
What remains is the shadow of themselves
A bitter delusion, a shattered illusion disavowing itself,
Turned out to be a distorted retrospection of bare existence

Just for one moment they felt the healing hand
But the sunlight's blaze never reached (them)
Hypnotized by burning fevers,
Feeding the suffering Oblivious dreams devoured consciousness
Soul absorbed...soul absorbed...soul absorbed...

Four winters are coming!
Augury of commemoration's whithered flowers
Four winters are drawning!
Augury of commemoration's frozen flowers
The hollow, The absence, Close to the tides of sadness
Swallowing, dissolving into restlessness

What remains is the shadow of themselves
A bitter delusion, a shattered illusion disavowing itself,
Turned out to be a distorted retrospection of bare existence

4. Hours Of Suffering

What comes around unbound,
This glorious feeling makes me oh so proud
I'm still alive-yeah that's right
Let's start a war, we'll win this final fight
This is my tribute to the dead i hail
I am your key to the underworld
Cleanse my soul make me free from sin
Welcome to the hours of suffering

Hang 'Em high!
Their rotten bodies up to the sky
Beyond all imagination on the edge of pure damnation
Extreme hatred-forget, forgive, no time to live
The dead come back, turn my world to black
A cold embrace buried in flames

I'll bring your nightmares that will never end,
My veins are injected with hate my friend!
No forgiveness you can find in my eyes
See the shadows of those... those who died!

Staring into the empty sky
When thoughts of death cross my mind
Only forward never back
Fear is just around, I'm not afraid

Mass immolation, destroy the world-a new creation
We'll never live together in harmony
Listen to the sweet sound of my killing symphony

Hang 'Em high!
Their rotten bodies up to the sky
Beyond all imagination on the edge of pure damnation
Extreme hatred-forget, forgive, no time to live
The dead come back, turn my world to black
A cold embrace buried in flames
This is my tribute to the dead i hail
I am your key to the underworld
Cleanse my soul make me free from sin
Welcome to the hours of suffering

5. Memorial Stone

Hear the whispering of a slumbering cry
You were never just a word in my life
You were full of burning passion, a passionate longing for me
A deep ocean of difference remained (once more),
Just seas of ashes full of stabbing pain

With the crowns of Thorns in my hand, memories in brilliant black,
And the crown in my blood, so real what seems forlorn again
All the sorrows in my mind will be passing these grey days
And for what we've lost, for what we've never found,
I will pray!

Embraced by the rising of our black sun
Illuminating all days at frigorific dusk
In spectral coulours of tears reflecting memories all circling inside of me
For the will to be, For the will to be, yeah for the will to be
I can see, I can see through reality
(I can see, I can see) circling inside of me
Multiple monstrosities

Evanescence forevermore, dissolving ember,
It will ablaze once more

I've seen these fading hands,
Searched for the missing element

Hear the whispering of a slumbering cry
You were never just a word in my life
You were full of burning passion, a passionate longing for me
A deep ocean of difference remained (once more),
Just seas of ashes full of stabbing pain

With the crowns of Thorns in my hand, memories in brilliant black,
And the crown in my blood, so real what seems forlorn again
All the sorrows in my mind will be passing these grey days
And for what we've lost, for what we've never found,
I will pray!

Evanescence forevermore, dissolving ember,
It will ablaze once more

6. A Silence Dressed In Black

Here I march on the fields of forever,
Back to where I once belonged
I am in trouble, it's the same situation
My flesh is weak but my will is strong

This is the mask of all my fears,
A never-ending torture has begun
All the lost souls together-one by one
Can you hear the crying winds?
Monarch of my sin-this monument of hate shall begin!

Beneath the burning sky,
The clouds are shattered by the sun
Into this blackened night, in a world beyond eternity
Beneath the burning sky,
The clouds are shattered by the sun
Into this blackened night-a silence dressed in black

Useless I was laid to rest,
Haunted by the future of the past
It's just the beginning!
No hope is lost-in a time when autumn turns to frost

Sorrow and pain, It's driving me insane
At the end of the world, nothing will remain

Beneath the burning sky,
The clouds are shattered by the sun
Into this blackened night, in a world beyond eternity
Beneath the burning sky,
The clouds are shattered by the sun
Into this blackened night-a silence dressed in black

Here I march on the fields of forever,
Back to where I once belonged
I am in trouble, it's the same situation
My flesh is weak but my will is strong

This is the mask of all my fears,
A never-ending torture has begun
All the lost souls together-one by one
Can you hear the crying winds?
Monarch of my sin-this monument of hate shall begin!

8. Trapping The Unseen

(In the year) 2078, far beyond earth
Fatal mission: Trapping the so far unseen
A short glance at the setting,
Focusing on embattled field:
Am I standing on its stamping ground
Staring at the remnants of my predecessors?
They sure once tried to hide in vain inside these walls,
Waiting for the yet unidentified

A still present tragedy: Imprisoned in a stranger's place
A shade, a dreadful sound uncanny
Yet fearless, longing for decisive trace
After all I'm chosen...

After all I'm chosen, placed amidst this fatal scene,
A long way off on deadly mission:
Trapping the (so far) unseen!

Cold and damp, the musty smelling reek
Rises from the shadowy path ahead
Somehow... Weird... A ghostly welcome
Unreal masks witness its every single step,
Surfacing without a sound

Now! Prepared to face the enemy...
Defend-Deface-Defeat!
Strong-willed, cold-bloodeness is my hope
Deform-Defy-Delete!
This creature with a single stroke

After all I'm chosen, placed amidst this fatal scene,
A long way off on deadly mission:
Trapping the (so far) unseen!

A short glance at the setting,
Focusing on embattled field:
Am I standing on its stamping ground
Staring at the remnants of my predecessors?
They sure once tried to hide in vain inside these walls,
Waiting for the yet unidentified

A still present tragedy...
Everything seemed so far away...
Perhaps it's only yesterday?

9. Seasons Of Tranquillity

Eye for an eye, the battle rages on,
Darkness shall arise!
After all these years of nothing,
What are you waiting for?
Split wide open, the point of no return,
Reflections of my inner flaws
Traveling into nowhere, together,
Distant voices (still) can be heard

Hard to breathe, Forever gone
The will so strong-(In) Seasons of tranquility
Domination-Infiltration-Devastation
Seasons of tranquility

First, feel the pain (you) never realized
The final hours has arrived
The truth beyond, the mirror of my soul,
Through flesh and mind I roam
A stab in the back, never to forget, Shadows of the past
Now the time as come, but your time is done
You shall not weep, but you shall bleed

Hard to breathe, Forever gone
The will so strong-(In) Seasons of tranquility
Domination-Infiltration-Devastation
Seasons of tranquility

Uninhabited final resting place,
Terrifying screams filled with immortal hate
Sorrow takes control of lonely moments
I walk through closed gates never missed,
Never opened

Demonic souls on their way to hell,
A farewell to all evil
I damn the day when you were born,
Your face will turn to stone!

Are you afraid to hear the truth?
I am the one, the same, the one insane
Can you feel the blade (that) slowly tears your veins?
I'll create cruel nightmares in your brain

As I escape through the past-below the lights,
When the deadly light touches my skin,
My illusions are lost in broken mirrors
I'll hide the truth behind my innocent eyes

Demonic souls on their way to hell,
A farewell to all evil
I damn the day when you were born,
Your face will turn to stone!

Eye for an eye, the battle rages on,
Darkness shall arise!
After all these years of nothing,
What are you waiting for?
Split wide open, the point of no return,
Reflections of my inner flaws
Traveling into nowhere, together,
Distant voices (still) can be heard

Hard to breathe, Forever gone
The will so strong-(In) Seasons of tranquility
Domination-Infiltration-Devastation
Seasons of tranquility
...tranquility
