1. Blood
++++++++
Awaiting the war of ages thoughts awake
Sickness builds within our souls
Piercing through the hearts of the weak
Tremendous tribulation brought unto mankind
Self-destruction is at hand

Reaching the point of the return
the battles we fight are glowing
Now the reality of our planet burning
Is reaching the surface now showing

The insanity - will it ever stop?
Not in a thousand years
We are doomed to bring ourselves down

All life near the end
The chances of survival minimal
The rage of humanity has grown strong
The result of our non-intelligence


2. Forever The Destiny
++++++++++++++++++++++
Is it possible to draw an image
Reflected of your own personality
When the people that affects you
Control your destiny

Take it to the limit
Where the black flowers grow
Where emotions have no power
Over your body mind and soul

the dark side of your soul stirring life
Malcontent with the life you lead
Omit the affection and filtrate the lies
The destiny will forever succeed

Take it to the limit!


3. Universal Flood
++++++++++++++++++
Gazing obsessed into the sky
The blue gate turns black
Watching dark clouds float by
As the memory appears
Of the planets so distant and vast

As a sign from those to the earth
An object of once burning stones
Makes us wonder in eternity
Of our mysterious origin

A sight of beauty high above
Merely for us to see
All of it not ever to discover
Only in our imagination

The morning bestial sunlight
Makes my eyes water in blood
Feeling within my systems
The universal flood


4. On The Verge Of Tears
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Once at night I sat among mortals
Afraid of what the future would bring
Drowning dreams in polluted visions
As I heard the mourning angel sing

A bloody wing came in sight on the ground
Bestially slaughtered by the hordes of those
Who didn't see the light

The prophecy of a spiritual deed
Seems to increase in moments
Where the morbid mental activity comes into force

You will ride through the dark meadow

Once at down I sat among mortals
Weeping over the loss of a shadow
At went on a journey withdrawn
Skywards you'll met the silver-tongued

Memories will clean the hoofs
And contain the falling stone from your heart


5. Rise From Your Nest
++++++++++++++++++++++
In these moments of unlimited grief
There is pain not to be forgotten
Not even joy can throw its light
Over this darkened place
misery gets enjoyable
In this imprisonment of emptiness
Mind exploding visions come to life

Living in a surrounding circle
Of soul poisoned victims of hate

Not knowing a way out of here
Makes you wanna disappear

In to a world beyond all humanity
To breed and unforgettable species

Pain is for the mortal
I only dress myself in flesh

This non-divine world suits me
I'll rise from my nest
May the beginning start
where the end left off


6. Serpent
++++++++++
Oh, the pain is getting so immense
to casualty of man-made innocence
the horror dwells in dormancy
the sickness grows viciously

Your soul's eroding
you've lost control
the malformation in hideous

The weakened kind, deceased and frail
will answer to their conscience in the end
relentless, there's no remedy
Decrepit souls all bludgeoned by their fate

Inflicted by the immortality we enforce upon the weak
left to rot in a body
already dead, but still alive

Towards salvation, towards the end of life
Towards what seems to be the deception of mankind

As you await your own demise
You gather the pieces left behind
frustration tears your soul apart
Leaving everlasting scars

Your souls eroding you've lost control,
the malformation is hideous

Fouled by the serpent
Blinding your eyes leaving truth so distant
searching for life you now is gone but the hope is there
degenerate the souls of the mentally numb and sickened
Driven beyond all that is real for your own retribution


7. Hope Springs Eternal
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Hope springs eternal in the human being
confront the truth of life
forever to be living in harmony
is it possible or do I fantasize?

Sense the strength of the mortal man
Beyond corruption power survives

To be free again

To be free again
corruption cease it's end
and the glow of might
Burning in his eyes

The lack of social sympathy
melts down the system and wipes out the weak
beneath the warming sun freedom is still unwon
Dying - so to speak


8. The Surface Anger
++++++++++++++++++++
To feel as emotions die
To see when the dark deceits your eyes
The create though creativity fails
To eliminate when the cry for mercy prevails

And the earth is ours, it's the emperors touch
We are the ones, the material gods
Love conquers all, still we underestimate
The embedded instincts that forever lie awake

Relentless when corroding the ties that bind
A slaved soul within a free state of mind
Domination, rationalistic philosophy
Is the direction of tragedy

I think therefor I am
But in heart as animal we still stand
Stimulate hate with a temper
That shadows the surface anger


9. Weakening Trip
+++++++++++++++++
I keep seeing these pictures before my eyes
But every time I watch I can't realize
If it is the beginning of a world divine
Or the final hard stroke that will crush my spine

From my vein it won't stop bleeding
I cannot patch up these wounds
the unknown has taken over
Hopefully not everlasting

If only this pain would disappear
I knew I was going away from here
