Onset of Winter 04:29
lyrics
With the changing of seasons They line up behind me And scatter at the sight of the storm Like widows of blind men They circle the stones It's the fear of madness That keeps them awake at night Their illusions are frail Like fingers of frost It's the duty of martyrs To end the rattling of chains To break the ominous silence After the pyre burns out Ghouls without faces Black holes for eyes They feed in the darkness The carrion is their prize At the onset of darkness Our march is at an end Cairns and shrines To the one open eye Are what remain After this winter More faces to bury Beneath the ruins New masters to follow At the onset of darkness

Sea of Disbelief 05:25
lyrics
From blackness we commence our stride We launch a futile Crusade To a place unbeknownst Blinded from the instance of first breath Reminded of the ever present creeping death Precarious existence Drowned in the sea of disbelief We bear our fatal burden Like a crown adorned with rust and verdigris Our sight begins to open Not before we learn to look away Unanswerable questions Gnawing through a pyretic mind One insignificant suggestion Could spark alteration in all mankind The cure, if there ever was one, Is to breathe, remain, bequeath A terrifying roar The one who does good In expectation of gratitude Is worse than the greediest of loan sharks

Breath of a Dying God 05:25
lyrics
Ah, awakened from the black dawn, never before have I seen this world in such light, transcending both shade and light, beyond life and death, beyond sorrow and joy where only pure existence lies Still as the golden waters The mind is at ease Of Erfat to serenity I submit Finally the drop has become one with the whole Pain eternal Transcend and rise above Still as the golden waters The breath of a dying god As you struggle to find a way out of this maze called life, grappling in the dark, lost without direction I can hear the breath of this dying god so weak and tired from this endless search Open your eyes and see through the veil Past and future are mere illusions Your hopes are only distractions Life is nothing but a dream passing fast Until death claims you In surrender and sensitivity one will attain Transcend and rise above the rotting corpse of a dying god

Soothing Silence 05:16
lyrics
Into soothing silence I lapse With a weary glazed stare Lone are the footprints now Delivarence found in pain Whose sins am I atoning for? Whose lapses must I undo? Clothed with longing Wearing sorrow day and night I was born in sleet and snow I've grown numb in the cold Angushed from the sole being Mislaid till the end of time Wretched is my lot here I'm forced down by this world Dwelling in guilt and regret Just a grim castaway Graceful tunes on her lips have past to silence Compelled to cherish the beauty in longing The world is a barrow shrouded in black I curse this ill-fated trail There once was a time When I resounded by your side There once was a time When I trembled under your eyes Like sand slipping trough my fingers, nothing ever lasts For the summer's dreams are bent and the songs are made of loss Long are the evenings now, no terms with the days No leading to walk aside the path paved with bitter thoughts No tunes chime under the grasp of smothering grief No rays of light lingers amidst the fathomless dark Save me I've lost the sun Downhearted is the tune Ill-lucked dweller in plight

Subtile Satire 05:14
lyrics
I suffered I strained I suffocated To attain A subtle satire Ecstatic pain Pledged to my desire Never to roam this plane again My repose has been thwarted My gaze undistorted Nerves scream, heart ill-assorted Soul is bruised yet reimported A fractured spine is standing tall The outside world now looking small Abyssal steps, could this be all? Thanatos has denied my call Broken Denied What had been stolen I’ll surely find I inflicted suffering I caused this strain I asphyxiate you For my own gain Broken Denied What had been stolen I’ll surely find This is how it flows From beginning till the end Blood stolen from old gods May the new ones it offend This is how it goes Resurrected in constrain This is how it starts Again and again

Forms of Evening Mist 04:59
lyrics
Oh, spawning sun, Bring forth your defiled hearth Unfurl the narcissism Enslaved by lucid visions By the gloomy sea you roam In shrouding veil of dusk you sought So in forms of evening mist I shall come But not to set you free Oh, burning sun, Urn us to incineration Through the break of day scorch your way But you inherit nothing Then sunk into the ocean Under the relentless waves In escaping daylight You are in all-consuming dark The black of night corrupts the love Foul things reach out for blood All we find is black despair It drains all the strength to fight Lost in the shadow lap Mere remnants of the distant past Distrust killed all the kindness As we bear the grim longing As we bring the night closer It`s far easier to be cruel Erosion of the mind Seems to be enough to make us blind A tale of marred souls fallen down Nevermore shall we walk together Under the plaintive sky A place that took our dreams away Where silence rules forever And if you ever dare to shine I will be long since gone Cast down thy gloomy shadows Thrust me into the endless night And benight this last day Oh, dying sun, Deceive what once was caressed Only the defeat remains Rebirth through devastation Heed to the ghosts that still dwell in the soul Far away from the world's betrayals, far away from the rays of light In escaping daylight we are one with the greatest yearning In all-consuming dark we are none but a broken promise
