NOCTURNAL
Lyrics:
Shadows rise from distant times
And gleam with perfect pleasure
Silver nights of pure delight
We claimed the evening's treasure
Spirits woke and served us glory
We drank deep from that chalice
Dreams of old, lackluster gold
I still ride on that malice
In the dark that knows no sunrise
I would be today
Where a throne of broken vows
Would put my bones away
God of Death, you've seen my ways
I've killed my flesh to feel free
I've betrayed yet so much faith
And still my blood burns and dreams
Dying of thirst
Under the sea
Falling through empty space of dream
Motionless
At full speed
I can feel the breath of morning
Creeping through my window
I knew stars on different skies
But in this room there is none
Evening light, eternal night
Rise now and flood this meadow
Golden halls await the bold
Within the realm of shadow
ADRIFT
Lyrics:
Fly above these smoldering ruins
Where is our freedom and glory?
We are spilled into oceans of time
Thoughts and deeds dissolve into nothing
Fly above the city of grey skies
The mighty roar, the fierce growling
A shrieking abyss in the pavement
All dead at birth, lost in darkness
The cruel sea storms at it's dead shores
Biting away the insane hope
That makes it rattle and quiver
Clinging to life like a broken dog
We breathe decay in the dying world
A mere glimpse of blood on this old land
Fly above the screams and the laughter
Rain upon the dust and the ashes
Talk to me about the beginning
About empires lost and old meanings
Was it better, all that has withered?
Had it soul that lingers in this air?
I will go away like a murmur
Dust to the dust
Rattling windows in another empty room
No tears in the rain, all pain is in vain
Row on, row on
Row on, row on
The greatest delight of all
Will come when I hear you fall
Row on, row on
Across the night sea of void
Row on, row on
Into the next world
We sail above this closing world
Another exiled lifetime burnt
We drift through dark forgotten shores
Across the nether realms of old
We sail with those whose life we took
Without a home, without a soul
We wander through the kingdoms grey
Where barren fields bloom orchards dead
We go through life like dry thicket on stone
Scattered by the winds of evening
Lone through the ages, scorned by the sun
Brought to our feet by the acid tit of dusk
I am breathing
In the dark
Soon my dreaming
Will depart
DEVOUR
Lyrics:
Welcome home
I have returned
Free the hounds
That crave your soul
Inside the dreaming
You live through my eyes
Unbound within my world
I know your true fear
I am your deep love
I feel your secret sorrow
I've clawed my way up
Into the surface
Now I can take control
Destroy the human
That reeks inside us
And set us free of mud
We shall devour
All earthly yearning
We'll drink the heart of God
Embrace our true self
Surrender to me
And bring this kingdom forth
I'm dying of thirst
Open wide the gates of horror
Tides of gray will flood the earth
I am the beast that lives within
And this maggot heart I'm keeping
Enthroned behind these grinding teeth
I hunger for everything
You lifeless ghosts, you whisps of air
You shadows of diluted truth
Vacate your flesh you fell from grace
Deliver yourselves to the underworld
Give me more
