She Wept
03:31

when you speak your words aloud to me
they shroud themselves in secrecy
you fail to find the things you need
as you cloak them all in mystery
when out she calls
the madness lulls
her hand brings poise to a mind of strife
but choice is derived from a will to survive
dreaming in white the error of your ways
eclipsing the hole of a soul unsaved
here we are these visions scarred by the weight of a love you lost

captured birds clip wings you’ll never fly again
hear the angels sing this is the day you’ll see the end
peace will come and go as will the burdens we share
reasons you couldn’t have known becomes the cross you’re meant to bear
waiting drowning you weaken as the pendulum swings
losing daylight we all fear what the darkness will bring
Allow the illness to breathe, a breeding ground it becomes
tied to the ghost of your failure that wasn't worth the price of shared blood
lying naked in wait the trial of a fallen man
you drift away on the rising tide flesh worn away becoming sand

7 Cursed Places

reopen the dying home clearing out each sloping web
hope resides in a peaceful place
evoking spirits that should not wake
to simply live is a risk to take
revive the damned with a sneering glance it ends
walls are giving way the blackness cedes to day
his sins were washed away but darkness still remains
we revive the damned

A Dying King
05:13
|

making progress but moving ten miles backward
the human condition prevails so long as penance is offered
storming the kingdom with plans of taking the reigns
forging a new path now 10,000 years in vain
it must be so let it be so
scour for evidence turning over each stone
building prisons force the people to claim their own
calling out to a god who doesn’t answer by name
you incur the wrath of man with only yourself to blame
it must be so lonely atop that throne
righteous lies you claim to own
oh if you’d only known

In League With Suffering

cauterize the phantom limb unseen flesh remains
removal of exquisite corpse the knowledge will be gained
save yourself the sinners flood beast still dwells within
decomposition has begun the patient is wearing thin
it won’t be lost preserve the sacred name
strip away rust and soot are you made of whats inside
faith collapse short of breath is this somehow not a sign
removal of exquisite corpse the knowledge will be gained
cauterize the phantom limb unseen flesh still remains

insufferable eyes tearing holes in souls of the one time forsakes
dragging the light into the bleakest void where no air escapes
sever the brain stem to hold ending the growth pain remains
inherent archaeic modes dim the lantern the bloodletting commences
the years tearing by now the oath decides what is taken away
never reborn waiting and watching the flames emerging faces now remain
its hard to tell whats all been done
bred this evil that I’ve become
marred my life with misery
in exchange for short lived infamy
illness takes its toll
the memories bought and sold weren’t worth
an existence in the cold where ill stay
whisper now just sleep

Born Of Winter
03:56
|

in the words you can’t speak are the lies that rain down over me
in the dark no demon sleeps as the fires raging onward
the gods dethrone their king will the sorrow reclaim everyone
given your role of dying alone
lurking in the grey let the vultures have their way with me
I’ve been beaten to my knees as a godless man of no dignity
as they take my dignity
theres no chance for dignity
the serpents cruelty speaks we believe each and every word
is the cost of life so cheap the dead can easily afford

and i found no solace in my final breath
these ruins further crumbling around my head
I’m being strangled by these shadows of my past
if you want to should want to
and i took no comfort in the kindness of my friends
these walls i raised were all my own
i’ve been disfigured by disgrace unerased
loss of faith motivation escapes captivation at stake degradation unreplaced
