Hunger, the word of wolves
Rhythms collapse against closed doors
Hearts frozen in time
Blood stains our sight
The red in the sky is ours
Hunger, soulrot
Thirst for higher rush of pain
Hands raised to theheavens
Oh, sing praise to the Lord of Rot
A kingdom burned by sins
The red in the sky is ours
Hunger, soulrot
Thirst for higher rush of pain
Black, the eyes of God they shine
As our victory coulors our sight
Blessed be thee, Queen of Crimson
The red in the sky is ours...Twilight is ours
Revoulution, the red in the sky is ours
The red in hte sky is ours 'till the end of time
Red

3. Windows
Eternal, now you live a dead lie
Plague years, a walk down the trail of misery
Put fire to your soul
Set it ablaze
A lunatic music, the end of flock kingdom
Sheep, you thirst for our insanity
Windows, sharp, cold
Wrap your psyche in blankets of pain
No more light of day
We're the windows to your insanity
Screaming, roaring, we'll alter your reality
Dancing razors cut your sanity
Windows, sharp, cold
Wrap your psyche in blankets of pain
Fuck you, light of worlds
We're the windows to your insanity
Reflections in the shattered glass
Singing songs of blasphemey for your soul
4. Ever-Opening Flower (demo)
Ever-opening flower
Feed me seven notes of love
Let it's wine burn through my veins
And free my soul from it's pain
Urges rage my fevered mind
Held back by dead note, blind
By the seventh sign of the seventh son
The seventh sun sets forever in the dark sea of my mind
Never shall I smile, never shall I die
Sun be gone, end my world
Enter darkness, rich of pain
I'm eternal, forever to be free
I'm one with fire, a thousand suns burn in me
Ever-opening flower
Feed me seven notes of love
Urges rage in my mind
Held back dead notes, blind
5. The Architects (demo)
Ornaments in silent darkness,
the image of man now torn from its structure
The smell of need,
the dwarfed soul of man,
attuned only to flesh
suffering from frustration
Alien to our own spirits
We're naked even in death
The dawn is yet to come
to fill us with knowledge
Pulsating waves of colour,
bleeding off into the black
A whisper of red screams through the night
The architects and the flesh
6. Raped By The Light Of Christ
When the yellow dies under the velvet thoughts
Blood-bubbles nestled in thorns
I have travelled thrugh suns,
And the darkness of the end
Now I surrender to the void
And join with the pulse of the universe
The world burns with worms of fire
The world burns
The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
We were not born to follow
We don't need your guiding light
I tear the skies with my bare hands
There is no death for me
The world burns with worms of fire
Sun or animal, star or beast
Alone all the way to the heart of Christ
I'm free to die when I wish
I'm born from scarlet songs
And when the time is right
I shall forever walk alone
The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
Worlds end, through a thousand suns
7. Primal Breath
Look the herons in the greenbilled water
Their wet-ash wings wear medalions of patience
We drift on...
We have stories as old as the great seas
Break through the chest
Flying out the mouth
Noisy toungues that once were silenced
All the oceans we contian, coming to light
All the dark birds rush from the river
Leaving only the stillness of their language
There are no clocks to measure time
But the beating of our single hearts
You will know it is winter
By the way your dreams tremble like stones
When the wind comes through
The wind, full of hearts that beat quick and strong
8. Blood Of The Sunsets
The sun sets in a sea of love
Stab your demoniac smile in my brain
Seduce me with the blood of the sunsets
Lock me out from my body and it's pain
The golden wine of the sun
deep rich purple, whit and red
The crimson vintage of life and love
I'm drunk on the blood of the sunstes
I watch the burning clouds
fighting to get hold of the sun
Tak heed, I am born, god of the twilight
I am forever
Proud, naked, full of sin
Born where the flames never die
Lost in the garden of stars
"We used to situp ther for ages.
It was like we were giving birth to a new world.
A child of our spirits,
Wild with light, alive with colours."
"Have you ever considered true freedom?
Real true freedom.
We were gods, burning in the eternal twilight.
We were the end forever."
Beyond our sanity, a paradise for all to find
Blood of sunsets, the golden wine of the sun
9. The Burning Darkness
To see a wormhole in your eyes fall to earth
And plague my heavens black
With fear I kiss the burning darkness
Forever burn
Leave not only me
But for every thought I think
Forever burn
10. The Swarm
Catch fire - just like a living disease
Unholy desire - a world on it's knees
Our burning minds they are ridden of hope
In a dreaming utopia - dead on dape
A generation of obscenities
We have lost our faith in our own
Creativity
What is evil, but good
Tortured by it's own hunger and thirst?
The living end
The dwarped soul of man
The living end
The seetest of lies - it's embrace so warm
So void of life - one with the promised swarm
Our burning minds they are ridden of hope
In a dreaming utopia - dead on dope
A generation of obscenities
Our ignorance will be the end of humanity
A dead nation under one dead god
The living end
The dwarped soul of man
The living end
Written in napalm over genetic wastelands
We move on, our fate is to die by our own hand
A dead nation under one dead god
What is evil, buy good
Tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
11. Terminal Spirit Disease
Can you feel the pain I feel?
I've lost all sense of what is real
I'm lost, in a world I detest
Can you feel the pain I feel?
This wound I've got will never heal
I'm lost, in the serpents own nest
Oh - set me free - crucify life itself
And let your joy be the reality,
Our suffering life - the dream
Pain, the highest order
Scorching the inside of my skin
Terminal spirit disease
An itch of thirst twisting my tortured nerves
Kill the worm that is depression
Join the leeches of opression
Unrure - twisted - logic now die
Kill the worm that is depression
My fevered - circle of damnation
Consumed by this torment divine
Terminal spirit disease
Terminal spirit disease
Your souls condemned to sing of life
Must die to be set free
12. Forever Blind
In this cell that is ours there is no pity
No sunrise on the cold plain that is our soul
No beckoning to a warm horizon
The sun shall never greet my eyes again
It is our world
It has been stolen from us, bastards
No goddamn sun
No goddamn pain
I've searched my heart for love
But all in vain
No goddamn sun, no goddamn pain
Exploring life without fear -
Without feeling I am one with
My torment and forever blind
My desire clenches itself in a hungry fist
And welcomes my soul to the thirst of dying
Mother of all, come take your revenge
The sun shall never greet my eyes again
13. The Beautiful Wound
My veins they are open
And yours to fill
The beast of my sins
Ain't easy to kill
Drowning in love, by bitterness warped
We sleep in different nights ugly and
Drugged, rotten to the core but I
Just can't let this die
My intellect bund
My will amputated
It's a sweet little need
Your need to be hated
Ugly, drugged and fevered
By Bitterness warped
Your beauty rages through my veins
Declaring war
Drowning in love, by bitterness warped
Stab your darkness into me
Ugly and drugged, rotten to the core
I see a truth you cannot see
As smooth as the skin
The skin of fire
I'm at the mercy of urges
You're my funeral dyre
14. Blinded By Fear
'We are blind to the
World within us,
Waiting to be born'
I cast aside my chains
Fall from reality
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
The face of all your fears
All your fears unleashed
The face of all your fears
Born of the demon sky
Twisting reality
Sweet nauseating pain
Is death the only release?
nauseating pain
Is death the only release?
The face of all your fears
All your fears unleashed
The face of all your fears
I cast aside my chains
Fall from reality
Suicidal disease
The face of all your fears
Now covered with sores
Humanity exiled
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
Purgatory unleashed
Now burn the face of the earth
The face of all your fears
All your fears unleashed
The face of all your fears
15. Slaughter Of The Soul
Never again
On your forcefed illusions to choke
You feed off my pain
Feed off my life
There won't be another dawn
We will reap as we have sown
Always the same
My tired eyes have seen enough
Of all your lies
My hate is blind
There won't be another dawn
We will reap as we have sawn
Slaughter of the soul
Suicidal final art
Children - born of sin
Tear your soul apart
Never again
My tired eyes have seen enough
Of all your lies
My hate is blind
There won't be another dawn
We will reap as we have sawn
Slaughter of the soul
Suicidal final art
Children - born of sin
Tear your soul apart
'Men must attempt to develop
in themselves and their children
liberation from the sense of self
...men must be free from
boundaries, patterns and
consistencies in order to be free
to think, feel and create in new ways'
