1. Forlyd
2. Whilst Eternity Burns
Beneath the rotting orchids
Buried in crimson she lies
Tragedy stole her future swiftly
A kiss from death stills her cries
Grief takes its toll on my heart
The pain of mourning denied
A reason to hate controls me
As my reason to live dies
Love raped and lost
But desire still yet bleeds
To take the life of those
Who stole her life from me
To solemnly eradicate those
Upon which my hatred feeds
Til' passion guides my weakened mind
And I rest with the deceased
And sleep forever Whilst Eternity Burns
Stigmatized through archaic overture
Til' the sunless dawn return
Phantom idols to which she died
Lay in ruin by my hand
As I sow the seeds of debility
Across this crippled graveland
Sorcerers of cessation
What have you done to her
Why did you take away her life
So that mine now must endure
Agony through emotions
Is the only thing I feel
Having to sacrifice myself
So I can know that this is real?
I dwindle within the vastness of emptiness
Its cold touch renders me senseless
Anger fills me more than sadness
A desire to kill rather than mourn
Overwhelms me entirely.
3. In Anguished Verse
I felt a change in this world
Where everything was damned
A sign of rebirth
Paradise found as I desert myself
From the walks of yesterday
To see beyond the horizon
I look to them - those who left behind
Their shattered dreams of life
Hoping to be saved
By someone stronger than myself
Why can't they feel the pain of dying?
Why can't they see me dying?
I reached for them - but I was left to die
I was deserted at the gates of the beyond
Forever imprisoned in my self
Lost among the forgotten shadows
In sight of immortality
So much has lust and narcissitc endeavors
Corrputed the soul
So much I've learned from them - the damned
Why can't they see they're dying?
Why can't they see you're dying?
No rest until I cleanse the world of living fallacy
Rage guide this incorrigible soul
To those who would abandon me
I am the sick I am the end
I am the plague which visits thee
Indocile hate breeds potent rage
As the dead declare war on humanity
For too long I've lain here in waiting
Waiting until now to strike!
The children of your sin
Shall burn in their beds
Those damned to be raised
Under the guise of your curse
Cruelly stricken from your lineage
Your progeny expunged
No tears taste sweeter
Than those wept In Anguished Verse
Under the domination of a forced regime
The noble in virtue will whore themselves to me
This dreadful seduction portrayed
In such tenebrous display
Innocence torn and lost so shamefully
I reached for them - but I was left to die
I was deserted at the gates of the beyond
Forever imprisoned in my self
Lost among the forgotten shadows
In sight of immortality
4. The Rise Of Self
In this dark time of creation
Paint these hours in black
These moments only I know
And curse my soul forever
To scar me for what I have done
Beyond all comprehension
Of this paradox of creation
The cries of millions pass my ears.
Everything spirals downwards
As it has always done
It's so easy to live in darkness
When it's all you've ever known
Accepting a life void of hope
They swim in a river of death
Their pitiful souls know nothing
But a sick and desparate past
It all hurts so terribly
That I can barely stand
Who wants to see me like this?
Wanting to forget myself
And the choices I have made
The damned look for a savior
And search beyond their dreams
To take existance for granted - and immortality
Lost in the twisted delusions
And impossible beliefs
Of divine intervention
To save them from themselves
A speck of dust on the surface
A single grain of sand
Remnants of a sickening existance
Swept away by my hand
Compassion once a burden
Tonight I'll let it lie
Waiting to face the morning
Knowing I watched them die.
Innocence forever gone
Perversion reigns in this world
Decaying parasite of life
Destined forever to infest
Do not reach for me in faith
You'll be cut off at the hand
I'm not your merciful savior
I'm here to watch you die.
