AS I WATCH YOU PERISH

SHAME ON YOU, YOU’RE A WORTHLESS PIECE OF FLESH.
DISGUST IS ALL I FEEL.
HUMAN PARASITE, SOON I’LL END YOUR ODIOUS LIFE.
DIGNITY IS LOST.

WEAKNESS FOLLOWS YOU INTO EVERY DARKENED CORNER.
THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE.
NOW SEE THE EYES OF PRAYERS AND THEIR USELESS MINDS.
RELENTLESS JUDGEMENT HAS ARRIVED.

THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW.
DISDAIN COMPLETES YOUR DISGUSTING PRESENCE.
I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN TO LIVE LIKE YOU.
BROKEN FROM WITHIN YOU KEEP WANDERING AROUND
AND EVERY STEP FULFILS ME DEEPER WITH HATRED.

WATCHING YOU, LOSING ALL YOUR FAITH AND TRUST.
WHILE YOU PERISH!
THE EMPTY EYES OF APATHY AND PRAYERS,
YOU’RE STILL WORTHLESS TO ME!

IN THE ABYSS YOU WILL STRIVE,
I CAN ABSORB YOUR DEMISE.

THE EARTH WILL SWALLOW YOU WHOLE AND I WILL JUST STARE AND WATCH YOU PERISH.

THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW.
DISDAIN COMPLETES YOUR DISGUSTING PRESENCE.
I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN TO LIVE LIKE YOU.

NO SHELTER. NO HOPE

NO TURNING BACK FROM THIS SORROWFUL EXISTENCE.
MISERY IS BROUGHT BY THE IRON SPRING.

ALONE IN THE DARK SURROUNDED BY DEMON'S EYES.
THEY STARE AT ME FOR WHAT I'VE DONE TO MYSELF.

EVERYONE I KNOW LEFT WITHOUT A SIGN.
HOPELESS AND FOREVER GONE.
USED AND ABUSED BY MY OWN FRAGILE THOUGHTS.
I DRIFT FURTHER AWAY FROM EVERYTHING I’VE EVER LOVED.

NO SHELTER. NO HOPE.

TO DIE A WRETCHED DEATH IS MY ONLY THOUGHT.
FUELLED BY SHAME I PUSH THE SYRINGE HARDER.
NUMBING ALL THE PAIN AND EVERY SPARK OF HOPE,
IT FEELS LIKE I’M DYING ON A ROPE.

ALL ALONE IN THE DARK SURROUNDED BY DEMON'S EYES.
THEY STARE AT ME FOR WHAT I'VE DONE TO MYSELF.
SPITEFUL LAUGHTER, ECHOES THROUGH MY HEAD AND VEINS.
THE NEEDLE SEEMS TO BE MY ONLY WAY OUT OF THIS LIFE.

IT FEELS LIKE DYING ON A ROPE,
BETRAYED BY MY OWN BLOOD.
MISERY IS BROUGHT BY IRON SPRINGS.
NO SHELTER AND NO HOPE.

WITH BLIND APATHY

WHY AM I NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY ON?
WHILST HE IS WANDERING AROUND WITH BLIND APATHY.

I HATE MYSELF FOR BECOMING THE ONE WHO I AM TODAY.

THE SICKNESS OF DEPRESSION
IS THE FEAR THAT LEADS ME ASTRAY.
THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS COLD WORLD
THAT CAN GIVE ME COUNTERWEIGHT.

THE POWER OF THE BLEAK LIFE WEIGHTS HEAVY ON MY SHOULDERS.
IT CRUSHES ME TO DEATH – I AM SCARED OF THIS NIGHTMARE.
HOW MUCH LONGER WILL IT TAKE TO FINALLY COME HOME AGAIN?
HOW MUCH LONGER WILL IT TAKE TO FINALLY END MY EXISTENCE?

WHY AM I NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY ON?
WHILST HE IS WANDERING AROUND WITH BLIND APATHY.

AM I SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONLY ONE HELPING ME OUT?
OR IS THERE STILL SOMEONE? OR IS THERE STILL SOME HOPE?
IT FEELS LIKE I'M PARALYZED – OR AM I JUST PARANOID?

IN SHOALS

BORN AS THE DEVIL’S SON, I SEE THE WEAKNESS ENTERING AGAIN,
CREEPING THROUGH THE GATES OF MY SULLEN CASTLE.

LIVING DAY BY DAY, FULL OF HATE AND NEGATIVITY.
DRAWING EMPTY SHADOWS, WITHOUT A WILL TO LIVE.

IT COMES IN SHOALS!

THE PRESSURE RISES AND THE AIR IS GLOWING WIDER.
IT’S DRAGGING ME UNDER AND I IGNORE YOUR HELPING HAND.

CAN’T YOU SEE THAT THIS IS OPPRESSING ME?

TELL ME WHEN TRAGEDY WILL STOP TO REIGN.
‘CAUSE I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A SLAVE TO NONE.

I KEEP CHASING THE SHADOWS,
EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO LIGHT.
POISONOUS LIPS SPEAKING NOTHING BUT LIES,
CRUMBLING UNDER YOUR COLD EYES.
DEAD IN SPIRIT, ONE DAY DEAD IN FLESH,
AND ALL THEY WANT IS SUFFERING AND CASH.

ROTTEN

THE TORCH OF REDEMPTION IS DOUSED.

BEFORE THE DAY REFLECTS THE NIGHT
I HAVE TO CRAWL ALONG THIS PATH.

WITH THEIR COLD BREATH IN MY NECK
HUMAN DEFILERS WANT ME DEAD.

IN THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT, FEARS ARE TEARING MY SOUL.
EVERYTHING THAT EVER SCARED ME IS NOW TAKING CONTROL.

DECADENCE IS COMING CLOSER, CLOSER TO THE EDGE
AND THE POISON WE BOTH HAVE INSIDE IS OPERATING THE SAME.

I HAVE BECOME A FALLEN MAN.
I CAN'T SUSTAIN THE DARKENED SHADOW.

LOOK, I LAY BY YOUR SIDE UNTIL EVERYTHING IS ROTTEN THROUGH.

DECADENCE IS COMING CLOSER, CLOSER TO THE EDGE
AND THE POISON WE BOTH HAVE INSIDE IS OPERATING THE SAME.

I HAVE BECOME A FALLEN MAN,
WHILE DEATH IS LAYING BY MY SIDE.
I HAVE BECOME A FALLEN MAN,
UNTIL EVERYTHING IS ROTTEN THROUGH.

THIS PERCEPTION IS BOTHERING ME.

THE ARSONIST

I CAN SEE - THE VOID IN YOUR EYES.
THE CONSTANT FEAR, THAT IS ALWAYS BY MY SIDE.
WE ALL BECOME - WHAT WE DESERVE TO BE,
AND YOU ALREADY LAID YOUR RECKLESS PATH.

ONCE SO DESPISED, NOW DOWN WITH ME.
I WON’T STAY IN THIS PENURY WITH YOU.

WRAPPED IN SIN I’M CRAWLING TO YOUR HAVEN.
A WAR WITHIN, OUR WORLDS GREW DISTANT.
YOU ARE THE ARSONIST, AND I FEEL THE FLAMES BURNING MY MIND.

REGRET - WON’T KEEP YOU SAFE.
RELIEF IS RUSHING - THROUGH MY VEINS.
I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR FAVOURITE MISERY.

WRAPPED IN SIN I’M CRAWLING TO YOUR HAVEN.
A WAR WITHIN, OUR WORLDS GREW DISTANT.
YOU ARE THE ARSONIST, AND I FEEL THE FLAMES BURNING MY MIND.

ADDICTED TO CHAOS.
BLIND TO EMPATHY.

YOU’RE SITTING ON THE THRONE OF EMPIRES I CREATED.
YOU FEEL THE PRESSURE OF MY BURDEN.
YOU COULDN’T STAND A SECOND OF THIS HELL I’M IN.
DROWNING IN HATRED.

I FEEL THE FLAMES BURNING MY MIND.

BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ARSONIST.
I WILL OUTLIVE YOUR TRUTH.

MONUMENT OF GUILT

SLAVE TO MY FEARS, HIDDEN UNDER MY SKIN.
A WASTED LIFE, CHOKING ON YOUR THORNS.
I AM YOUR MONUMENT OF GUILT - CHASED AROUND UNTIL I DISSOLVE.
A CANVAS OF SCARS CURSING YOUR NAME FOR ETERNITY.

I CATCH A GLIMPSE OF YOUR SHARP EYES.
STARRING INTO THE DEBRIS OF MY OLD SOUL.
I RECOGNIZE THE SIGNIFICANT DESTRUCTION.

YOU DEVOUR EVERY SPARK THAT KEPT ME SANE.
RECKLESS YOU TEARED APART, EVERY SINGLE WAY.
ONCE THERE WAS NO MORE FEELING, NOT EVEN LIGHTS TO SHINE.
CREATED THE REFLECTIONS OF WHAT I AM TODAY.

I HAVE TO BURN YOUR STATUE DOWN.
BURY MYSELF UNDER ITS BLISTERING RUINS.
ENTOMBED IN ASHES, I EMBRACE DEATH
AND IMPLORE HIM TO DEVASTATE ME.
TO FREE ME.

GRIEVED

I SEEK FOR A WAY OUT OF WHAT KEEPS ME INANIMATE AND TIRED
I CAN NO LONGER LIVE WITHIN THIS CHAOS - THIS IS AN ABJECT FAILURE
I GREW TIRED OF HOPING

TIED DOWN TO A CYCLE OF GRIEF
REVERSED NOT REVIVED
DETAINED IN THE DISEASE

IT CALLS ME BY MY NAME
DISCONNECTED FROM FAITH
I WILL SUSTAIN MYSELF
TO ALL THAT HAS CHANGED
I WILL SUSTAIN MYSELF
TO ALL THAT HAS CHANGED

ALONE IN THE WAVES OF TIME
BURIED BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH
ALL THAT I BECAME
ALL THAT TEARS APART FROM ME

TIED DOWN TO A CYCLE OF GRIEF
REVERSED NOT REVIVED
DETAINED IN THE DISEASE

IT CALLS ME BY MY NAME
DISCONNECTED FROM FAITH

ALONE IN THE WAVES OF TIME
BURIED BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH
ALL THAT I BECAME
ALL THAT TEARS APART FROM ME

THE ISOLATION

I LOST TRACK OF ALL MY DESIRES
NOTHING SAVES ME FROM THE GROWING HATE INSIDE
THERE IS NO LIFE IN ME, ONLY INSECURITY
AND NOW THE TRUTH REMAINS UNSPOKEN
THE ANGER THAT RISES CREATES THE HELL ON EARTH
I HAVE TO LIVE WITHIN THIS ISOLATION

BURY ME, BURY ME
BURY MY PAST IN SILENCE
GUIDE ME, GUIDE ME
GUIDE ME TO THE DYING OF ALL LIGHT
AWAKE, AWAKE
AWAKE THE ANGER THAT SHIVERS ME
DEFINE ME, DEFINE ME
I WATCH THE RISE OF THESE BROKEN LIVES

DROWNING IN THE THINGS I LOVED THE MOST
WAVES OF DESPAIR CLASHING THROUGH MY GHOST
SEARCHING FOR A WAY TO KEEP MY MIND DIRECTED
IT FEELS LIKE WASTING AWAY

THE ISOLATION – A SHELTER FROM SUFFOCATION
THE ISOLATION – A STEP TO RESPIRATION

THIS RECLUSION MEANS MORE THAN SALVATION
THEIR SHADOWS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME
I CAN NO LONGER EXIST IN THIS SUFFERING
I CAN NO LONGER HAVE A PLACE IN THIS LIFE
I CAN NO LONGER EXIST IN THIS SUFFERING
I CAN NO LONGER HAVE A PLACE IN THIS LIFE

ASHES

MY BREATH IS GETTING COLD WHILE THE EARTH AROUND ME COMPRESSES MY CHEST
I HAVE GONE ASTRAY, FAR AWAY FROM MYSELF
ALONE IN THIS WORLD
I CAN'T BARELY HOLD ON TO WHAT I'VE SWORN TO BE

I'M SINKING INTO INSIGNIFICANCE
COVERED WITH SCRATCHES
I HAVE TO LET IT ALL GO

I'M ON FOR MY JOURNEY
UP TO THE HIGHEST OF ALL MOUNTAINS
TO FINALLY FIND MYSELF AGAIN

I'M RISING UP FROM THE ASHES OF MY BROKEN LIFE
THIS TIME NOT FOR AN EPHEMERAL MOMENT
I WILL STAND THE SEPARATION
MY DREAMS ARE NO LONGER A SHATTERED CURSE

I WON'T GIVE UP THE SEARCH TILL I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER
I WON'T GIVE UP THE SEARCH TILL I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER

YOU KNOW THERE WAS A TIME WHERE I FELT DESERTED
THEN CAME THE FEAR AND BROUGHT ME PERDITION

I WILL SOON REGRET THE CHARM OF FURY
IT WILL GET ME INTO MY OWN PURGATORY

OLD GHOSTS

REACHING OUT FOR A BREEZE AT THE SEA
A POISON SO WELL KNOWN, LIKE THE EARTH TO HUMANITY
THERE IS FORGIVENESS, BUT NO HOPE FOR A SIGN
THERE IS FORTUNE IN A WORLD I LEFT BEHIND

THERE'S NO REDEMPTION
THERE'S NO SALVATION
IT'S TRAPPED IN MY MIND
THEY'RE CLAIMING THE ANSWER
THEY'RE WAITING FOR MY SIGNAL – FOREVER UNSEEN
A PUPPET TO MY THOUGHTS BOUND TO MY LONG-GONE ATTENDANCE
A VOICE DEEP INSIDE

HEAR THEIR CRIES ROARING THROUGH ETERNITY
THEY WANT ME TO RETURN FOR A DEAD-END MEMORY
I CRAWL ON MY KNEES IN FRONT OF MY SELF-MADE GOD
TURNED AWAY, WALKING IN SHADOWS

A GHOST, SO RELIED
A CALL, SO DESPERATE

SEEK INNER PEACE, THIS WORLD IS SUCH A CRUMBLING PLACE
I'LL FIND SO MUCH DARKNESS IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD

THERE'S NO REDEMPTION
THERE'S NO SALVATION
IT'S TRAPPED IN MY MIND
THEY'RE CLAIMING THE ANSWER
THEY'RE WAITING FOR MY SIGNAL – FOREVER UNSEEN
A PUPPET TO MY THOUGHTS BOUND TO MY LONG-GONE ATTENDANCE
A VOICE DEEP INSIDE

HIGH HOPE PIERCES MY HEART
CURSED YOUR NAME FOR SO MANY TIMES
AN INNER SOURCE OF SORROW AND I'M TOO WEAK TO SHUT IT DOWN

OLD GHOSTS AND FORGOTTEN DAYS
SO MANY REASONS TO RETRIEVE
OLD GHOSTS AND FORGOTTEN DAYS
REVEAL THE FACE OF CHAOS AND PAIN

ONCE LIKE SKIN TO MY BONES
NOW AN EMPTY SHELL WITHOUT A SOUL

THE FAITH IS GONE

EMPTY THRONE

A DEADLY STORM FULFILS THE AIR
WITH PAIN, HATRED AND GRIEF
THE END OF SORROW FEELS SO NEAR

THE BLEAKNESS WHISPERS THROUGH MY EARS
THE AMBIENCE OF MOURNING AND DESTRUCTION
IT TELLS ME TO FOLLOW A PATH
WHICH IS TRAPPED, TRAPPED BETWEEN WORLDS

I'M NOT AN OPTIMIST, BUT SOMETIMES HOPE IS MISSED
LOSING MYSELF IN THIS WHIRLWIND
IT PULLS ME FROM MY EMPTY THRONE
I WON'T LET THE COLDNESS GAIN THE UPPER HAND OF THE GOOD IN ME

THE BLEAKNESS WHISPERS THROUGH MY EARS
THE AMBIENCE OF MOURNING AND DESTRUCTION
IT TELLS ME TO FOLLOW A PATH
WHICH IS TRAPPED, TRAPPED BETWEEN WORLDS

TEACH ME OBLIVION
THE DEVIL MADE MY HEAD HIS HOME
TEACH ME OBLIVION
THE PAIN IS CAUSED BY MY OWN

HOLLOWS

MY LIFE ENDS WITH THE VOID OF YOUR WORDS
THE COUNTLESS HOURS WHERE I FELL TO LOW
SILENT SCREAMS RUSHING THROUGH MY EMPTY MIND
THERE IS THE URGE TO WISH YOU ALL THE GODDAMN WORST

I WISH YOU ALL THE GODDAMN WORST

REMEMBER THE PATH THAT WE ONCE WANDERED?
YOU'VE CHANGED THE COURSE AND LEFT ME WITHOUT REMORSE

TO THIS DAY YOU'RE DRAGGING ME DOWN
I PROMISE THAT I'LL STICK TO MY SHELTER

MY LIFE ENDS WITH THE VOID OF YOUR WORDS
THE COUNTLESS HOURS WHERE I FELL TO LOW
SILENT SCREAMS RUSHING THROUGH MY EMPTY MIND
THERE IS THE URGE TO WISH YOU ALL THE GODDAMN WORST

THE DARKNESS DEPRESSES THE SHINING LIGHT
THE SILENCE COVERS THE HUMAN CRIES
EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE EVER BUILT IN LIFE
IS NOW DESTROYED
ALL WE’VE BUILT
IS NOW DESTROYED

CAN YOU FEEL THIS HOLLOW IN ME?
HAVE WE EVER MEANT TO BE BROKEN?
LOST IN THE HARM, ALONE IN THIS GRAVE

THE DOWNFALL

MOVING OVER MY HEAD
ALL THESE LIES, THAT I CAN’T FORGET

I'M WALKING THROUGH THESE PATHWAYS
UP TO THE HIGHEST HEIGHTS
NO ONE CAN HOLD ME BACK
FROM MY ARDUOUS JOURNEY

GROWING FROM THE HAUGHTINESS
WANDERING IN THESE DARKEN SPHERES
SOON I WILL REACH THE AIM
OF MY SELF-REDEMPTION

THIS IS MY DOWNFALL
I'M FALLING INTO THE ABYSS
BROKEN PROMISES AND BROKEN DREAMS

THERE IS NO HOPE IN THE WEIGHT OF THESE WORDS

WHILE THE SURROUNDING TURNS FROM GREEN TO GREY
AND ALL THE LIVING AROUND ME GOES ASTRAY

THIS IS MY DOWNFALL, I'M FALLING INTO THE ABYSS
ALL THE BROKEN PROMISES AND BROKEN DREAMS

LEAVE ME BREATHLESS, LEAVE ME SHIVERING
NOW I'LL FIND DEATH IN THE DEPTH OF THIS CHASM

GROWING FROM THE HAUGHTINESS
WANDERING IN THESE DARKEN SPHERES
SOON I WILL REACH THE AIM
OF MY SELF-REDEMPTION

IN VAIN

INSIGHT DEFEATS ME
I WRITHE IN PAIN
IT IS BEYOND WORDS
WHAT GRIEVES ME

THIS IS AN OMEN, MY PATH IS COMING TO AN END
I’M STANDING AT THE EDGE OF LIFE, I WILL LEAVE THIS WORLD.

INSIGHT DEFEATS ME
I FELT THE WIND WAS CHANGING
IT IS MY BURDEN
THAT NEVER LEAVES ME

THE INSOMNIA KEEPS MY WISH UP HIGH
TO WALK ABOVE THIS BRIDGE
TOWARDS WHAT THEY CALL DEATH

I CAN'T FORGIVE ME
I CAN'T FORGIVE ALL MY SINS
I WILL RELIEF ME
BURY ME UNDER YOUR HEAVY WINGS

MY CLAWS CARRIED THE WEIGHT OF ALL THE PAIN IN MY LIFE
I WAS CAUGHT IN THIS BLACK FORTRESS
MY JOURNEY WAS IN VAIN
MY JOURNEY WAS IN VAIN
IN VAIN
