'ERROR 1.0'
It's my turn now / Restraint from the wayside of sanity / Reach through the fault lines of clarity / Reset this world to a memory / Erase all memories
Light up the flares / That signal up to the skies / A fallen world gone blind / To their own demise / Five entities looking down at me / An error caught in the code from The Realm Beneath
So spring the trap and sink your teeth / I've got a gun in my hand if you know what I mean / I can hear myself saying out loud / Why won't you just listen to me?
今静かになった！
It's all gone quiet now / So don't save me / Don't point at me
For I'm the maker of my own fate / And my shadows are lurking in my visceral dreams
'LUCID'
Will the figure move this time / Or is it waiting crouched at my bedside / Given form, with the pulsing of my eyes / New terrors born with each breath / I can't seem to find
Why won't it leave / The flicker in its eyes / Watch over me like Morta / The image moves around towards me / It whispers into my ear / Everything is a dream
Fight or flight / The choice is not mine / I lay motionless awaiting my post-mortem / How much I would give to crawl back to the light / Like an hourglass in space I cannot / Catch my fucking breath
The strangest eyes / Are the strangers eyes / The strangest eyes (are the strangers eyes) / He stands tall, a mocking stature glaring at my lifeless body / The strangest eyes (are the strangers eyes) / The whispers they enter, your soul is mine for taking
The strangest eyes / As dawn gives in to dusk / Alive / But only on the inside / The more I try to exit / This limbo I have entered / The more I succumb to the quicksand in my mind / Paralysed / I've lost the gift of sight / But now I see more than I've envisioned in my mind / The darkest corners of my mind, they spring to life / Perpetually reliving / The fear of stillness
Stone deaf / Clenched fists / Lost all sense of the way I free myself from this / Dragged once more deep into this disconcerting / Nowhere scape / Stalked by the shape / With its hands in my mouth / Clawing at the core of me
You will never win / You will never win / You will never win / You will never win
'YOU KILLED THE BEST IN ME'
If God exists He'd better ask for forgiveness / "I cannot breathe, you're choking me. You're choking me, I cannot breathe" / Hear through the doors: the agony, the pain you caused / But that's what you get for killing the best in me
And now I'm burning inside / Lying face down / Running from the shadows in the dark whose faces contort / I grasp on to a gold cross hoping that they'll come and save me but they might as well say: / "Burn apostates / Burn the wreckage / Burn up fucking everyone who dares to defy my word" / You're the wolf that cries and you victimise / Then you take all that I've got and let yourself ascend to the divine
Thread the needle through my eye / You put me here for the taking / Now I've fallen behind and I'm the one they hate / I'll be the one they hate / I'll be the one they hate
You killed the best in me
Frenzied disease and the fathers lust / To breathe life into a rusted cross
And every curse, it still feeds me / And still nobody ever needs me / I cut my ties and the rain turns to rust / And it's safe to fucking say: You killed the best in us
I hope I find a way to claw myself out from these chains / The memories they're feeding me will never be the same as what I dreamed I'd always be, but now that time has changed / Now all I hear is distant people screaming my name
You killed the best in me
'IMPACT'
...and on the sixth day the clay turned flesh / And then its rib became the second / Forked tongue in the branches rests / Nesting a coiled pretender
Take away his vile stare so estranged / These eyes of mine never did see much anyway / The grace we knew decayed / Now drawn a sneer of shame / The Godhead frowns at the sickened sound of our vanity
Nothing you can do will change me / So just leave me and let me be / Nothing you can do will change me / Nothing you can do will change me / So just leave me and let me be / Nothing you can do will change me
Now serenade the saint in me / The first, the last, of siphons giving freely / Drained another second chance / To claw myself back from deep inside the mirror's trance
The devil stays inside / Chained to the labyrinth's of my mind
Nothing you can do will change me / So just leave me and let me be / Nothing you can do will change me / Nothing you can do will change me / So just leave me and let me be / Nothing you can do will change me
I'm not gonna listen to your wicked commands / I've got an army of people standing at the temple / Ready to open fire upon your devilish words / Try to control me... I fucking dare you / I fucking dare you
'ETERNAL RETURN'
The way is shut / The trail runs cold / I double back to the way I was told
My heart it seems would set the tone / I'll find her through the entropy
These voices that command me they will drag me down / I may never make it out of here / Retrace the steps that I have left and circle round / I will follow them till they disappear
Like Orpheus the same reason / Take me back to the edge of the sun / Where my heart goes cold for all but one
For this is where it begins / Cleanse me of all of my sins / Watch as the ground around me / Falls away from all of my senses / That I'm losing defences / For my actions in the past / We'll see who's laughing last / As I look up to see / The sky is catching fire / To the fall of an empire / So let me climb the tower to find some sense because / Nothing in the world is the same / Falling code spells out my name / I feel that this whole time there’s been a force here following me
As I kneel down the open void gives chase I begin to flee / Find sense in the Godheads around me / Find sense in the forgiveness they gave / Find sense in the nightmares I continue to flee / And find sense in the people I have / Saved
The nightmares of my past / They call for me / Now here deep in the silence /
Flashback to I'm chained / Up against my domain / Intertwine with my soul
I'll let you in / And we shall locate our end
These voices command me / They are all here right now / These voices command me / They are all here right now
Flash of cryonic skies / Above the depths of tides / The light has faded away / To shades of black again / Imitate learn and erase / I'll find you through the rains
/ I'll reach the depths of beneath / Won't stop till we find peace / I'll reach for the orb of life / Be my Eternal Return
'MIRROR FICTION'
The thoughts in my head / Will stay till I'm dead / I see them in red / The shadows of dread / Think of it at night / This eternal fight / Paint it black and white / All I feel is spite with everything I write
Self hatred / The force within me / Self hatred / The force within me
When the time goes by / Self esteem runs dry / Can't seem to deny / All these blatent lies / When I feel alone / Take blame on my own / Get out of this zone / Won't be sure to phone anyone I've known
Everything is so confusing / Everything is suffering / All I really seem to do is sit right here and hate on me / Everything is so confusing / Everything is suffering / All I really seem to do is sit right here and hate on me
Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's a state of mind / Never mind it's the same old rhyme
Sometimes I hurt myself / But most times I'm filled with my self loathing / They feel no sympathy, no / No one will care at all / Just do it / Let the rivers of blood / Flow into the sink / Cut myself / Can't seem to understand, no / Can't seem to quell the thoughts inside me
All I want is happiness / All I want is true self worth / All I want is self security / All I want is happiness / All I want is true self worth / All I want is self security / All I want is to look in the mirror / And like what I see / All I want is to look in the mirror / And like what I see
'DEATH DIRECTS THE BULLET'
Begin! / This nightmare of presence / Looking through the glass eye of death / These souls that pull me down here / Below the surface deep into the undertow / For there is no escape for us / Another banner for us to waste ourselves / To start reaping their souls / For them / For us / Living is breathing / We work for them
For I know these feelings of solace can be found there / Deeper and deeper I go into the crazed mind of Azrael / No longer safe in my mind / So I start a prayer / Try to convince myself that / Nothing will change
I think of all the times they betrayed my kind / Why do they seem to forsake me with their lies / I can't see the reasons for your patience towards your patients / No NO NO! / The bloodied eyes with the cries of your victims near / No virgin soul should be here in this menagerie / I can't remember the last time I wept / So maybe it'll be at those pearly / GATES
Although my head is heavy now / With the thoughts of my own death / As it falls to the ground / I shall never sink to the sound / Of great waters or thunder / Nothing can deafen the screams
IN NOMINE DEI NOSTRI / SATANAS LUCIFERI EXCELSI
These words will echo / Through the craters we have never known / The horned beast shall oversee this land of suffering / Shall become one with the abyss / And those in charge / Shall send us all to
PANDEMONIUM / I'll never see it again / Down the barrel the spirals of death
I've never seen a light like this before / It strikes a tone with me deep in my core / The depths of my soul seem to open / An ethereal feeling that makes me numb / To the pain of my thoughts / To the pain of existence / I fall to the ground in a comfortable daze / They'll accept my soul as one of many / But this isn't the end
I wake / A broken man / To a desolate planet / Unknown to me / As the effluvium of sulphur fades / There stands a shining demon / Why won't you let me go / INTO INFERNO
These eyes of mine / Have seen the end like never before / There is nothing but blood / Nothing but gore / Nothing but the flood / Of angels standing there / Let me change my words / Why don't I show you where it HURTS
'SILENT CELESTIAL'
Sometimes I feel like there's a mask on me / There's no one here to hear my cries
I look into my future life / And I see a silver light / And it feels like I can't breathe / You were drowning in the silence / When she grew her wings and flew / And the skies opened up / As I walk through the place beneath / A siren calls my name / As it echoes through my trust / Sometimes I feel like somebody else / And I'm falling alone / And I know this time I've lost
I'll tell you when the flood stops / As the sunrise rests on your wings again / So just tell me when the rain comes / And we'll fly through our skies to the storms end / Will it stop when I've seen enough? / At the surface gasping for air again / These questions for a saviour / To the left of the throne as the storm begins
Won't they come now / To the kingdom / Of wretched sinners / And believers /(Won't they come now) / A hollow of earth and mind / (To the kingdom) / Calls voiceless a soul enshrined / (Of wretched sinners) / Veiled by time beneath my feet / (And believers) / They'll wait their turn to be set free
Sometimes I feel like somebody else / And I'm falling alone / And I know this time I've lost / I'll tell you when the flood stops / As the sunrise rests on your wings again / So just tell me when the rain comes / Looking towards the sun I cry / Blinded by the rays of light / It reminds me of us / Like a dying star
Sometimes I feel like there's a mask on me / Sometimes I feel like there's a path I lead / Why can't I be myself? / Sometimes I feel like there's a mask on me / As I step out of the vision / I know I'll find your soul again / Out in the colourful void of time
