1. Sweet Heresy
No more words
Rise
And take your place beside me in all that I've built in disgrace
Grace the halls with curdling calls and watch the sky
The kingdom falls
Blight
Make haste your retreat
Make it with tact, make it discreet
Flood the world, drown the strife, and wash away this tainted life
Taunt the sane
Pinch the vein
Strike the night and scream at the rain
The more I know, the more I hate
Thus begins the Inside
Brick by brick
I begin to rebuild my temple of mourning instilled
Sing us a song for those who have passed
Those who have learned, those who were last
I will ride the changing tide
Start at the end and walk to the sun
Know that you've passed
Know that you've won
Taunt the sane
Pinch the vein
Strike the night and scream at the rain
The more I know, the more I hate
Thus begins the Inside
Sacrifice my right to rot
My chance to heal
My one escape
It's crashing down
I know the sound of pestilence
Of children screaming out
I know you and have seen what you do
I alone
I will not compromise how much pain I inflict
Sovereignty
My paradise burnt down
Effigy, I ask of thee,
"O Heresy, sweet Heresy, you've seen the gates. Now lead me through them"
One more day left to play
Where's the love?
Where's the blood?
I refuse to believe that this is all there is
I feel no shame
I place no blame
Although you've changed, I feel the same
2. Threnody
I shall never surrender
How could I cease to recall?
I am the only one left to be this alone
As each day passes by
I celebrate one less to live on this way without you
Mirror breaks, but who's in there
And I can't look long
I won't find you there
Because
She calls to me in my...
Broken dreams are the way we shall live
And through darkened hallways, I pass all I've lived for
Paintings line the walls and
Take me back to the times when lucidity reigned
But how do I return?
Blind to everything here
I lose vision of all that remains all around
As I lose that as well
Innocence captured here in time
Echoes of the past
Pleading me to stop
And yet...
She calls to me in my...
Broken dreams are the way we shall live
And through darkened hallways, I pass all I've lived for
Alone in this world as I stand in the night falling
Deeper from where I thought that I had hit bottom
Plead on my knees so I may breath my last breathe which sets me free
Scream to the seas so that I may drown deep within their depths and cease to be
With your untimely end, I am reborn
In this world of hate for those who have what they love
How long must I remain with this corrupted soul
Crying tears of blood
Until empty, I fall
Long hallways keep them from my mind
Hidden
No one sees through the barriers
Only
She calls to me in my…
Broken dreams are the way we shall live
And through darkened hallways, I pass all I’ve lived for
Alone in this world as I stand in the night falling
Deeper from where I thought that I had hit bottom
Return to me, my strength
My soul still perseveres onward
You reach for my hand
And then pull me away from this
The sun feels as I remembered that day
As the light healed this withering canvas
Yearning to be free
But not to be lost
I came here reluctantly
But knew I belonged
How had I fallen so far?
3. Borealis
Speak your name just one last time
Then proceed to bite through my tongue
Close my eyes
Sew them shut
Then burn your face in my mind
Here in the night
Here in the dark
Stitches in my mind rip and tear apart
Leave me here undone
This, I see
This, I know:
This fight I’ll fight on my own
This is a war of silence I keep losing
Despite my senses, I cannot stop caring
The feel of thread behind my lids reminds me of when we were young
Scratch the walls
Bind my hands
And pray the night closes in
Thoughts in my head
Cancer of the mind
Letting chaos in
Killing all it finds
Leave me here unwhole
This, I see
This, I know:
This fight I’ll fight on my own
This is a war of silence I keep losing
Despite my senses, I cannot stop caring
Look to the light and slip into forever
Close your eyes and you’ll see the life I wanted
Yours was the last face I saw before I lost my eyes
Yours was the last name I said before I gave up my voice
Yours were the last words I thought before I lost my mind
Yours was the last life I took before I took my own
Lost my eyes to make my point
And yet I still feel unfulfilled
I can’t speak
I can’t think without a fatal result
Two becoming one
One becoming two
You make me hate everything I do
But I will persist
This, I see
This, I know:
This fight I’ll fight on my own
This is a war of silence I keep losing
Despite my senses, I cannot stop caring
Look to the light and slip into forever
Close your eyes and you’ll see the life I wanted
4. Nothing But a Shadow
Trust in me and I will set your heart afire
In time, in time
Touch me with your soothing hand, my desire
In time, in time
Your voice an angel choir, hypnotized, I close my eyes
In time, I will find my way
My glass heart I give to you, shatter me within this shell
In time, I will find my way
Carve your name into my skin; mix your tears into my blood
I hear the cries above calling down for me
I lift myself up to my feet; the strength I’ve gained will be your fall
In time, I will have my way
You won’t believe my suffering was all for you
In time, in time
I have shed my blood, my life, in your name
In time, in time
Beauty lay with fallen gods; silent prayers fall on deaf ears
In time, I will find my way
Distant cries of agony, I lay you down upon your bed
In time, I will find my way
Penetrate your shallow hear, the love I felt I cannot find
I hear the cries above calling down for me
Broken dreams of ecstasy, awake to hear your frightened screams
In time, I will have my way
I don’t need you
Here I stand, I am the only one
I release you
Here I am, kneeling before you
I am nothing but a shadow in your eyes
Hold my heart over an open flame
I don’t mind if I never see the light again
Here I am
5. Aurora
6. Empty the Sky
One step from my horizon
I think, I dream, I wonder
My honor yearns for reason
I plant this seed of treason
"I, the sky
"I, the heavens
I declare my intentions"
Rain down
Bleed forever
Nothing is held from the dead
I'll rip down the stars, both hands
And wait for the sign, my final act
Die with the sun, burn cold
I'll empty the sky just to believe
Grown into full conception
I sow, I reap, I return
Dealing out retribution
Let truth be known through bloodshed
"I, the sky
"I, the heavens
I declare my intentions"
Weighed down
False endeavor
Truth revealed at my end
I'll rip down the stars, both hands
And what for the sign, my final act
Die with the sun, burn cold
I'll empty the sky just to believe
I will fall and thus the sky will follow
I will fall and thus the sky will follow
7. Crestfallen
I feel the wind tonight
Cold
Under pale moonlight
Staring out through the soul of me
Dreaming of false reality
Shades of the frost break with her steps
Restoring life to living death
Overwhelmed by the lust I have
Losing thoughts that I once possessed
Reminisce as to why I’m here
I still wonder why
Yield the will to live my life
Release the soul that I have lost
Night
Hidden us from the light
Truth vanishing with the day
Time takes you away from me
Death
Setting us with the sun
Lies fill the mind of you
Trusting all what I say is true
Staying here as I leave this place
Bitter winds will guide us to the end
I am alive just as you are
We lay to rest as the snow falls
I am keeping her from the end
You are bringing the end to me
I am watching the changing leaves
Night comes to us as they fall
Finally we fall together
Dreams that were so real to me
I can never leave without her
"I spill forth my blood for thee"
The winter is the dawning dark
As the autumn is torn apart
The life force of a lifeless force
The ending I am dreaming up all on my own
Gazing up at a thousand stars
Crystalline windows to her eyes
My throat will open up my veins
I fall in blood up to my knees
Stream of my mind flowing through time
"I will only die with her"
Breathe
Struggling only to
Choke
Whisper an absolute
Cry
All that I want is to
Die
And never look back again
This time I’ll embrace my destiny
This wind is our dying breath
My life I have given you
The thought of us was all I knew
The winter is the dawning dark
As the autumn is torn apart
The life force of a lifeless force
The ending I am dreaming up all on my own
8. Disciple
Down on your knees
Pledge to no one
Bow before me
I can never
Know
I can give you everything
Pain
Show me how to accept
I am here
Save your tears
Only the penitent will survive
Trust unto me
Give me reason
Salvate yourself
On my own time
Lie
Put another nail in place
Die
This, the one and only
I am here
Save your tears
I reject your sympathy
I renounce your humble pity
Not from you or anyone
I need it not
I weep for no one
Reach inside of me and you will feel the lust for hate
For war
Excruciating need
I want a way to see into your mind
Your soul
Your veins
To claim what's mine
Burn at my feet
Dust to dust
Rise from your grave
If I must
Strength
More power than a thousand gods
Black
Shining through the wasteland
I am here
Save your tears
Only the penitent will survive
Down on your knees
