1. Abysmal Ladders
Approach the trail of failure
and fall down the ladder
Enshrouded in the dense veil
of ever deepening darkness
Emerging in a darkened pit
extending infinitely in every direction
CHORUS:
Sweet caress of death
Sweetest strike of fate
Feeling only hate
Living in the shade
Heading for uncertainty
slowly ascending the peak of pain
Crying out in agony
will it never end
Never ending agony
crying out in utmost glee
REPEAT CHORUS
Rising up from the pain
Spiralling upwards
Eternities apart
From the sweet life
Clutching the veil
Breaking through
REPEAT CHORUS
Embracing the darkness
Accepting the pain
Taking on the evil
Bringing on the power
To fall down again
And feel the pain again
REPEAT CHORUS
Embracing the dark
Accepting the pain
Taking on the evil
Bringing on the power
Rising up from the pain
Eternities apart
To fall down again
And feel the pain again
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
2. Unacceptable Existence
A presence without any promise
existing without any bliss
What's the point of prolonging this?
There is no reason to exist!
Suffocation, strangulation
Feels like I am being smothered
Suffocation, strangulation
Every breath is the dying breath
Fed by the government
None is left to lament
Their unacceptable
degraded existence
Suffocation, strangulation
Smothered
Suffocation, strangulation
Dead...
3. Dark Clouds Gather
Dark clouds gather
darkens my face
a raven croaks
its victims dead
Once so cared for
Once so beloved
Once so trusted
Once so friendly
Staring at the darkened sky
in wonder of what's above
darkness embraces my soul
upon staring I expire
Now so ignored
Now so deserted
Now so detested
Now so spiteful
My charity drifts away from me
I feel drawn towards dark fiery depths
Out of darkness I'm ressurected
Turned into a harmful spectre
4. Return of the Priest
In the time before the darkest dawn
Lichus sat brooding in the abyss
And thought up his evil schemes
To thwart all the goodness in the world
It had been his plan since the dawn of time
And soon his priests set forth to do his bidding
The moon is hidden beyond clouds
Darkest night of the century
Cold storms freezing to the marrow
Coldest night of the century
On this night of darkness and cold
Evil priests had sworn to return
The prophecy will be fullfilled
Not a single life will be spared
Priests complete the magic circle
Chanting ancient rites of evil
Animating long dead corpses
Restoring them to semi-life
Misty hazes covers the ground
Unearthly moans pierces the air
At the graves the surface caves in
crucifixes all tilt and smash
A foul stench rises from the graves
Corpses emerges from the earth..
Their eyes burning with hatred of the living
Ghastly breaths of putrefaction
Mindless skeletons and zombies rise
And move towards their masters
Living only to harm and kill
But they themselves can't be killed
Crusaders of evil intent
Will strike down their defenceless prey
No resistence being offered
From the people in the village
The undead kill without mercy
The people couldn't kill the undead
The prophecy has been fullfilled
None of the living has been spared
5. Green
6. History of Mankind is Sad
Distorted by the pollution
of the river and the ocean
destruction of the atmosphere
environmentalistic fear
CHORUS:
Interpret the concept
for decades the trees wept
understand the message
we're living on the edge
REPEAT CHORUS
Drink metallic drinking water
all the forests gonna wither
the birdsong in the trees are gone
war of supremacy we've won
REPEAT CHORUS
Poisoning of the ground below
we will only reap as we sow
destroying all that we had
History of mankind is sad
History of mankind is sad
REPEAT CHORUS
History of mankind is sad
Using up all our resources
dealing out all our aces
We'll never be able to see
nature can't be paid with money
