Since I hardly keep my eyes open And try to discern the truth I realize it's time to fight They have our senses on a string With virulent mixture of menace and favour They make us all believe In what they call to live They take away the cure But they're not the chosen few They're not the chosen few I'm sure this is what we deserve Dark matter poisoned our lives We're unaware of being chained With humble submission we gave up traditions There is no time to loose We have to stop abuse Just try to look around And to refine your mind Refine your poisoned mind Torment Distress No Break the blow We should behold Rise as one And break it down Don't let them fascinate your soul As parasites we root in our blood Too blind to see what's happening above We are the bearers of human selfishness With eyes tight shut we turn ourselves to casualties Like rats we run along the walls We are the tragedy We are the great mistake
2.
Sirens 02:19
Watch two crawl from the depths Such beautiful enemies As they lounge on the island sand Contagion of fear captures my men And they begin with their singing And I can't take a hold on myself I just command to set me free But my crew keeps me bound with ropes I've never heard so beautiful voices before I pray my Lord to give me strength This is not the only time we are in danger Let the winds carry us away Let us leave this place And ride the storm again Let them fall into the sea I believe Let us stand Let us stand till the end There's no hope for the men who once hear their voice They warble to death with their songs
3.
Sleeping soul waits for the wind to blow Does not even seem to wake for the last time Wrapped in cold, laid under the snow With not a single chance to grant her lungs one try Lull your heart and hear me whisper I'll never let you down These cold, these coldest nights will go through There must be the way to you You've never thought how nice it is to breathe When you feel the wind and the Sun shines extremely bright You'd never quit this life if you perceived How it is too see what's behind the light It's not a danger Although it's dark behind this blinding light It's up to you to stay or move This is the time to decide This is the very time to decide Up to the niveous lands of perfect bliss and tranquil souls Up to the skies where you could heal your wounds Or down to burning storm of dust and filth Choking you with smoke and tears Bitterness and sorrow fill your sleeping heart Internal collisions shatter your mind Now chase your anguish away And cling to life Take a look at our shadows in praise of supreme force And choose the third case scenario Why are you chosen by the gods? Just cling, please cling to life with me Come on Just cling to life Please summon up all strength you have and cling to life I rush to rescue, I will find you no matter how
4.
You'll never behave like martyrs singing their woes You'll never reflect like humans counting their bones Now get all your wounds of the tapes Forget everything that you had And free all that you thought about Blushing hopes have never saved a soul There's no purity in our loves Pulling triggers will never save the world All those blessings were just a fault Their blood still breeds the infection That spreads in half a shake Our minds are in possession No matter what we make Corroded chains and burning shackles restrain us Your sun goes down, lower than ever Since human brain is structured And feelings got abused You're last to witness death of all we knew Embrace the memory pieces That wither in your head Cause nothing will be changed before an end You're too close to step down To devour your dying feelings There's no need to survive Humanity is led to the very end It's up too long to receive this pain And lost emotions shared by the ancestors of humankind You're struck with the circular motions of withering minds And left to submissively suck all these lies
5.
Celestine 10:03
Here I lay Writhe in pain Thinking back Thinking of your grace Never pleased by your love before I perceive all you have shown me My saviour Come again Take away my pain For the love of these darkened days My saviour Come again Still I lay Writhe in pain Looking back At my crooked path Tearing down my somatic forms Atrophy wrapped all over me My saviour Come again Take away my pain For the love Of these darkened days My saviour Come again I take my desolation I split my lungs with the swallow Expecting to feel your faith Set my heart in motion Send my mind emotions I feel low, so low I'm dying to find you Hear my cries under the cope of night It's so cold, so cold I'm dying to pass through The gates of glass guiding to the light Once love was lost

Breothan 04:58
Restrain your perfect care And leave me bleeding from inside Because I can no longer remain in your life Just leave me here and step outside The way I feel just weights me down There's nothing left for me to see And it's me who's left for you to free Let these daggers drain my body of the blood Let the gallows purify my soul of sins and mud Restrain your perfect care And leave me bleeding from inside Because I can no longer remain in your life I'm too faint and weakened to find a solution And those feelings will always remind me of you Forever Go This sore heart weights me down Empty inside I've got nothing to gain I'm not worried, just fading away It's my burden to see My heart will never heal Life is giving the long Way to understand What we deserve and we are worth Threatening motions Misleading, bombing, killing Drowning oceans Terrorising Misleading
7.
Turned Away 03:15
She's walking down the street Her face is so amazingly sweet She's wearing high heeled shoes I want her to be my own muse But I stay where I sigh Because I'm made of something wrong for her My intent is to deal only with the scum me I'm staring at her as if it's a dream My heart is beating faster than I believe Her face is something really heavenly Her curvy shapes and tiny skirt are stunning me But I just turn away And keep on verging to decay Cause I'll never be fed up Of booze and drugs and nasty sluts But I stay where I sigh Because I'm made of something wrong for her My intent is to deal only with the scum me Cause I'll never be fed up Of booze and drugs and nasty sluts

No frantic power lasts in boiling hearts we trust as one The black kaleidoscope is set in motion Those wings we cleaned so hard now have all feathers gone It's long past time to stop carrying false devotion We've been so vain for too long I've cut my tongue to become that dumb I've ripped my eyes out to be that blind There's no escape No hope for salvation I am the freewill sacrifice Our signs decay in ruthless fire Our sacred scriptures glow in flames This is the day when it all turns black And finally dissipates We finally fade away Enslaved by our demons we bury ourselves With the fading shine of our wasted lives We've burnt our signs I've made my piece I am free from the Earth I've caught the pitch black kiss Of black kaleidoscope I am the freewill sacrifice I am the sacrifice Bless the prophecies The code that I've been scratching onto walls for years For the doomsday, for the holy comfort Now I turn to ashes with my legend, the cult I swore on
9.
False grace of weakened pace Contaminated nations in erratic mess Repulsion and grime will thick the curse Emblazoning iconoclastic controversies If serpent strikes my body first I'll quiet down There's no one left to claim that I'm insane I am so fucking sickened by the lies I hide Braced hands and shallow trace Abandoned to despair, suffering distress As waters run dry we drink the swill Descending deeper and deeper into the dust If serpent strikes my body first I'll quiet down There's no one left to claim that I'm insane This poetry is for the poor The one of sopping sand, of malice and the sour will come Dispersing fleets of crows and breaking the mold He will create the mortal flood Hail the fortune we all will be buried Forever in the dark
10.
As soon as I seem to recover from the throes of a sickness It hits me again with the most horrible pain I can feel it coming back But I wish that was not what I fear Drifting towards completion Of this hideous fiction I can feel it coming back Unmistakeable devildom I would die To be the god's right hand man Or the devil's favourite demon There must be not so much pain in hell The crucial moment of doom is near And my perceptions refuse to fear the end It goes on and on For the last time till the end, very end When the life meets death When the skies turn dark for me When the sickness sets me free There must be not so much pain in hell
