Album Lyrics
1. I Saw the End
We crawled
From the beginning
Oceans of blood
The price of living
Grasping gold
Always pursuing
Wealth untold
Others abusing
I saw the end
Of all tomorrows
From a place
Where the pigs wallow
Filth that runs
From mouths so overfed
The joys of life
On mountains of the dead
[chorus]
Blacken the sky
Can’t stand to see the sun
The truth of light
Reveals the hatred that has won
The hearts of man
Corrupt and bleeding rage
Can’t understand
We’re sick and dying race
If we’re to survive
This must not remain
The end of lies
Could be dawn of day
Take heed of the wise
All your hate disown
Can’t look to the skies
Fate is ours alone
When all your fear dies
Life becomes your own
To silence your cries
Learn the truth that must be known
2. Thorns
The earth-child
Awakening
Returning waves of time
The blood that runs away from here
Unknown to the ones left behind
These thorns are all I can feel
Fragmented shards of a god
I leave a memory
Better left scattered in another life
Alongside
The harbinger
An ever-present wound
Spills words that flow tomorrow
A message written in blood
It appeared as a ghost
A whisper out of time
Can’t walk away from atonement
Was it worth it all?
And can we ever find our way back home?
3. Lie of Survival
All our gods have fled
Retreated to the skies
From there they watch us fall
Beneath unyielding scythe
A cold and callous blade
Indifference, swathed in blood
Ageless, unafraid
As fools, our end has come
Ignoring signs
We believed that we were blameless
Then the harm could not be undone
We hang ourselves from any rope put here to save us
And seal our fate… together
To die… as one
Across the breadth of our existence
A single moment to be snuffed out
Shared blood that flows
Sins unrepented
No inclination to see the sword that’s crashing down
Last burning breath filled with death and desire
Our boundless pride becomes a funeral pyre
The end remains, the only god we can’t deny
All still believing… the lie of survival
4. Dancing in Madness
Uncontested, dripping personification
The putrid liquid washing all away
In the edge of mind lurks bleak sacred monster
Null incarnate, defeater all the way
Locked within a spell
This ritual repeats itself again
The drained one, dancing in madness
Inverse horizon stretched out
Before the shivering frenzy
The serpent whispers and the haze must return
Again the moments stop
Replaced by falsehood
Perverted image of the self-arise, impure
Non beginning in a self-fulfilling doomsday
Believe in your own end
And your wish will be fulfilled
Unforgiveness thrives
We cannot survive
Time – we’ll pay the price
You will not survive
Finished in the dying of the flame
A solitary piece, remainder of the sane
A shattered bell in shadows still rings
And the night crying bird laments the loss of its wings
Even alone the wretched voice still calls
On a not too distant day the sky is soon to fall
The wounded one may try to search for sleep
Even in deepest night the softest voice will sing
When all but night has gone
And hands are filled with dust
There’s no one else who can take the blame
For these deeds are yours alone
And everything has gone away in ceaseless erosion
In the languid sand the seeds of pain
Are sown to grow once again
5. Cruel Road
Old cruel road, it never ends
Tearing down every defense
It leaves me, worthless
Wandering, I’ve lost my way so many times
From first breath to final rest
I find the path always unwinds
My sunken hopes are buried deep
A revelation just beyond my reach
And thus my journey’s brought me home again
It’s not what it used to be
Faded tracks recall my origins
And rekindle memories
Forsake that which I worshiped then
A whole life in effigy
Set foot on the cruel road again
And pray this time will not leave me
Wordless – the constant sting
A future I will never know
Forgotten loves left bitter tastes
They died before a chance to grow
Those days alone, fractured beliefs
Left tattered scraps of former peace
And thus my journey’s brought me home again
It’s not what it used to be
Faded tracks recall my origins
And rekindle memories
Forsake that which I worshiped then
A whole life in effigy
Set foot on the cruel road again
And pray this time will not leave me
Oh…
Wandering…
[?]
Cannot let the old times be my captor
The curse upon my life must be shattered
Seize, control and slough away the shackles
And tread the world unbowed
Until my body collapses
On the cruel road
6. Heartless
Piercing stare… perceive the heart that I am holding
Metallic trails… stream down my arms
It loved to swear… upon the lies that it foretold to me
And I: its pawn… guided blindly unto harm
Laid so bare… all that’s visible is crimson
Still feel its primal song… though hollowed out inside
I prepare… to drink deep its well of wisdom
Rend away the sinew… fitting, bitter ending to its spite
In my hands
To carve away
A lifeless star
Makes darkest day
Beyond reprieve
No more to stray
Silenced call
Extinguished flame
There, it’s done – I’ve ended its dominion
Blood red tyrant now overthrown
Empty chest without familiar rhythm
Its knowledge, mine – deepest secrets shown
As cold as ancient stone
This ruined heart has been disowned
The pain is mine, and mine alone
Its grievances at last atoned
7. A Plea for Understanding
In a little time so much has changed
Here I am again in that familiar place
Dreams may try to grow in the dark
But no fire can burn without the setting of a spark
I just want to give to you
All that you have given me
My searching heart cries for this
This thing I can’t grasp
A love somewhere within
Given to roam in a vast and empty space
A tiny glimpse of truth wrung from a simple twist of fate
Help me to find a new way to tread
So I might not be alone on the path that lies ahead
I just want to give to you
All that you have given me
My searching heart cries for this
This thing I can’t grasp
A love somewhere within
Try to forget the past
But nothing ever changes
Try to understand
But nothing ever changes
Try to lose myself
But nothing ever changes
Try to love myself
But nothing ever changes
Behind the eyes lies a truth so deeply concealed
Somewhere inside is a place where the weary rest and heal
Anger, fear, and regret keep the darkness at hand
But these feelings are real
All I ask, won’t you please understand?
