Cold Daylight
06:50
|
|||
As the daylight bursts through
Casts the shadows of decay
Over all these years
Lost without you
And the reality I cannot stand
As I recall and I reflect
Insights of dust
Rising and falling
I remain silent
Blanketed in self-loathing
The tide on the wane
Distant sombre fells
Drenched in the rain
Weaving its way
To every corner of me
...Wherever it leads
In the cold gleam of day
Dead hours pass and sway
Into the ocean of grey
Dwindling away
Hollow and sore
Lonesome wreckage washed ashore
By the tide of the grinding fate
Time brings no relief
Frantic winds rage unleashed
With clenched fists, gritted teeth
Tearing seared remnants out of me
Tear one by one
Arduous roam has began
Out of shadows below
Into churning whiteout
Behold the black clouds
The smoke reached so high
I beseech, gone astray
Will you come
To take me away?
Fiery winds blow
Spreading ash on the snow
On the day all hopes die
Within the cold light
The grimmest frost
Ravens afar
My years have faded somehow
The scent of demise
Balefully swirls
Mingles into the black and white
...And there's only me

Grey Cobweb Veil
05:53
|
|||
Under the ice-covered ground
The worm of angst keeps gnawing
Beyond cold blackened stone walls
Entombed hopes begin to sour
Pleas from the forlorn chambers
Echo through halls we once strolled
Waiting for the fatal hour
Withered, for the winter is long
Mourning ruined my sanity
Is this what I've dreamt before?
The closing line appears to bring
No deliverance at all
Cobweb veil
Don't you fall apart?
Cobweb veil, grey veil
Tempest craving for death
Carrying choirs of ghastly groans
Gaze into the eyes of hunger
Harvest from the bloodsoaked soil
My heart cries for the past
Vainly I opposed
Cast in the pit of desolation
Stranded in corpse-like cold
Debris shall embower my bones
The rivers shall become my veins
Spirit will stray forsaken places
And the hunger shall forever reign
Cobweb veil
Don't you fall apart?
Pass through veil, grey veil
Cobweb veil
Nothing to leave behind
Nor beyond frail, grey veil

The Fog Descends
07:08
|
|||
Pace, enticed by obscure glare
Immerse in steamy, sultry haze
For I drift so lifeless now, dead inside
Across the night
Towards the savagery
Into the abyss
In cleansing fire
Chimerical fate
Abase
Entwine in pain
Sip all of your hate
Light up the pyre
Call forth the blaze
Entwine in pain
Sip all of my hate
Before the fog clears
Drown in eerie night ambience
Combust in murky licentious flames
In a dream of the ghost of my former self
No questions asked
In cold and strange embrace
Unleash the thirst
Ignite, obey
Intoxicate
Let the rope lead
And dissipate

The Dying Sun
05:34
|
|||
Illusive cries
Chime of wordless last goodbyes
Dirge of decay
Things beyond repair
Woeful desire
Billowing clouds of reddish sand
Entwine my soul
Like barbed wire
The thistles and thorns
Unfold on ragged rocks
Endeavour to make it
Before the flame is done
Ride, yearning for the bygone days
To the horizon
From dream to badlands
Virulent clouds
Eyes sorely open
The scavengers lurk
From the shrine of bones
Stunned, ensnared
By torrid sunlight
Churning up dust
Over my last way back
Woeful desire
Faith washed down, thrown in sand
Entwine my soul
Like barbed wire
Ride feeble winds of unconcern
Still on the run
Towards the dying sun

October
07:17
|

The sky heals its wounds
No sunbeam pierces through the clouds
Dead silence among trees
Hollows out extinguished heart
Like lifeless parched leaves
Bittered by cold, lingering frail
Scattered by the wind
I'm growing apart, drifting away
Nightfall fills my soul
Beneath the vault of barren boughs
Mournful, heavy breath
Congeals into mist, when the forest calls
Leaving all behind
Shrouded in autumnal haze
Anything that would count
Is broken apart, drifting away
Bleak winds from afar
Swept my cursed path
Towards twilight's mighty embrace
I climb the dark spheres
Where wisdom's laid bare
In the distance everything drowns

Dusk and Decay
06:09
|
|||
The wail veils the light
And the cold mist crawls from darkness
The scarlet of the sky
Evokes the primal longing
Harbinger of the night
Of gelid dissolution
The vast funereal path
Through the nebulous illusion
Black claws reaching to infinity
Rooted down in cursed soil
Black blood in my veins
Seething with pain
Rise from deepest depths
Out of the bitter abyss
Places that are long time gone
Beyond the gate of sleep
The call, like a dagger’s thrust
Cutting my soul apart
The call from the past
Black claws reaching to eternity
Endless dormant forests
Wretched altar of agony
Sorrow and anguish
Lone among dead faces
All is empty and vague
In the dense nocturnal air
Nothing is as before

Drowning
06:35
|
|||
Spectral moonlit skies
Sparkle through bare ice
The coarse, frigid tombstone
On the ruffled burial vault
Black mouth of no return
Engulfs the faint starlight
And spits a blurred reflection
Of the welkin of obsidian
Then I edged towards the chasm
Without strength, without will
Slowly going down
Long forgotten memories
Writhing through my mind
Heart and limbs becoming numb
Cold, great cold oblivion
And the blissful silence
The crystalline current
Like bittersweet wine
For dazed, sapless lungs
It seemed easier to breathe
Underneath
