Reborn Into Darkness
05:08

Blood
Drips from your hands
Spills at your feet
And reflects the light
Shining in your eyes
Like orbs of flame
Burning scorching pain
Dwindling...it flickers
You are nothing, you are all
You are no one, you are god
Rest assured your heart won’t mend
This pain will last forever
Hell never ends
And death reveals its truth
As every drop of wasted youth
Spills into the caverns of despair
And right before your eyes
Life slips away from you
Feel the coldness of its kiss
Swept away into the abyss
Feel it burning deep inside you
Breathe it in as it surrounds you
All that you have come to be has now ceased
You’re reborn into darkness
In shadow of the beast

These Horrid Things
04:10
|
|||
You shudder as you feel them crawling
Squirming underneath your skin
You pick and scratch
They’re biting
Eating you alive from within
Fear is swallowing your soul
Paranoia is taking hold
These horrid things you see and feel
All in your mind, or are they real?
Glowing eyes watching from the darkness
A shadow in the corner
Points its finger straight at you
Your blood runs cold in horror
Abysmal display of mental decay
Close your eyes and pray
For all of this to go away
You can run and you can hide
But their ever watching eyes still see you
Nothing left to say nowhere left to turn
Brain is melting, life is wasting
Watching your world burn
You can run and you can hide
But their ever watching eyes still see you
They can see you...
Is it truth or illusion that’s terrifying you?
Without a doubt, you’re freaking out
There is no denying
You’ve lost your grip, you’ve lost control
You’ve lost your mind
Set reality aside
It’s mental suicide

Waking Dreams
04:32
|
|||
Bite the pain and feel the sting
Of memories withering
Like ghosts they flicker in the fire
And though there’s warmth of flame
The emptiness remains
Slowly burning a hole into my heart
Mind is lost in phantom thoughts
To wake from this nightmare
What is the cost?
There will be no epitaph
There will be no wasted words
There will be no burial, no grave
No soul to save
Rise and sing of waking dreams
Blurring the lines of reality
Where mind is lost in phantom thoughts
To wake from this nightmare
What is the cost?
Release me from this life
Prisoner of its design
Lift the veil of lies
And howl into the night

Out of Time
04:08
|
|||
It’s been a long time coming
Won’t you open up your eyes
You’ve spent your whole life running
Now there’s nowhere left to hide
So you’ll rot alive
And slowly lose your mind
And think of time you’ve wasted
While the clock is ticking by
Nothing lasts forever
No one’s truly free
Never bet on never
Can’t you see you’re out of time?
No compromising
It’s time to pay your dues
Tried to outrun the reaper
But he’s catching up with you
And now, you’ll shake
The cold hands of fate
And the clock keeps ticking, ticking
While you’re digging your own grave
And in the end will you find peace of mind
Will you embrace it

Been Here Forever
03:46
|
|||
I know that you can feel it
You’re not alone
I know you know I am here
When you look in the mirror
The face that you wear is mine
Look in your eyes
I’m on the other side
And I’ve been here forever
Caught between
Hiding in shadows
And lurking in your dreams
I know that you can feel it
You’re losing control
Lost and drowning in fear
But you are my vessel
You are my voice
You have no choice
To give me life
And deliver me from the void
Know that you’re haunted
By the ghost of another
That shares your very soul
And I’ve been here forever
Caught between
Hiding in shadows
And lurking in your dreams
I have been waiting
Forever trapped inside
Tangled in pieces of self you’ve left behind
Longing for life
To howl into hideous night

What Lies Beyond
04:52
|
|||
We are whispers in shadow
We are madness, we are pain
You cannot deny your masters
We command and you obey
Sip our tainted blood
Taste it on your tongue
And you shall know
What lies beyond in the fire
Cast away your faith and watch it burn
In the darkest flames of desire
As you fall from grace
Deep down within
You long to feel our cursed touch
Offer up your heart to darkness
Become one of us
Spill your tainted blood
Onto our dripping tongues
And you shall know
Sanguinary lust for blood
Before no gods we kneel
The hands of evil grip us tight
And feed our urge to kill

Dreamers and the Dead
05:28
|
|||
It hides here beyond the light
Through twisting winds of death’s unholy might
Embrace the end
Born again with life eternal
Shadows moving in the dark
Reality cracks and falls apart
Is this the end
Or just a glimpse of life eternal
Led by whispers of an essence cold and pale
To with mind’s eye behold what lies beyond the veil
Carried through the charnal night on wings of dread
Lost somewhere between the dreamers and the dead
Feel it flow through your soul
Death leads you through
Into the void
Your withered heart devoured by the flames
Don’t cling to life
Let it go
Eyes roll back
Skin growing cold
An empty shell, a vessel for the soul
Embrace the end
Born again with life eternal

The Rope
03:03
|
|||
You’re lost and feeling helpless
There’s only emptiness inside
Its been there all your life
Through your mind you’ve been crawling
In a search for answers you won’t find
Realize..there is no brighter side
So if your future looks so dull and gray
If there’s no love inside your heart
If you can’t seem to find it
If you live for nothing, then die for the same
Put your hope - put all your hope - in the rope
You feel it growing tighter
It has a grip around your soul
It beckons you to let go
There’s no use to fight it
As grim obsession takes your mind
Realize...there is no brighter side

This Hallowed Ground
04:04
|
|||
Cold wind blows over the graves tonight
Overhead the banshee’s crying
‘neath the light of pale moon shining
This hallowed ground on which you tread
Creates the rot, entombs the dead
The vermin’s feast leaves only bones
And the worms slither in our skulls
It is here you will lie
Lonesome spirits haunt the graves tonight
In tombs of old the others sleep
As musk of mold from caskets creeps
Bodies cold, devoid of life
Deep within the earth we lie
Rotten and skeletonized
Deep within the earth we lie
Autumn leaves dance past the graves tonight
No sign of life, no flowers blooming
Only death and darkness looming
