1. Behind Vacant Eyes

3. Solar Journey
4. This Sanguine Farewell
1. Behind Vacant Eyes
A decrepit man intently stares,
At the now calm lifeless horizon,
While most of his memories no longer exist,
There is one never fading,
I was alive with youthful integrity,
A cold December night,
Accosted my senses whisper of the wind,
Shaped my reality,
Took by surprise decayed pretenses,
I deciphered the meaning,
To my advantage delivered false promises,
Baited the trap,
Deceptively clever I engaged the victim,
Gained pure conviction,
With deceitful lies I taught myself,
To be abhorrent,
Took admiration of helpless thoughts,
Sufferance was comfort,
Like blankets in winter a cold heart ridden,
Misfortune always evident always there,
Each day a new veil hiding the past,
Compassion had vanished,
Leaving no trace my newfound guile,
Is my future,
There is no shame when harm is blind,
Contemplate the unknown,
Whose eternal reset would always stir,
A mind at ease,
If only he knew his only victim,
Was in the mirror,
They say self-reflection is good for the soul,
And cleanses the blood,
But if your heart is oblivious to your grasp of life,
Then the gray shadows down at your feet,
Fade into black and vanish,
Desolation unaware,
As you look at yourself endure the pain,
See the fear deep in your eyes,
As you hind behind a blank disguise,
A decrepit man intently stares,
At the calm lifeless horizon,
While most of his memories no longer exist,
There is one never fading,
You look in disbelief as you see your own life,
With his tragedy,
Hopeless destiny in your mind,
You cannot fight what you soon will see,
Your eyes shed the tears of blood,
You can't ever hide,
When you see the visions behind vacant eyes.
2. Cascading Rivers Of Black
The beauty of eternal darkness,
Now spreads across this land,
Changing our reality,
The end of time has come for man,
Barren wastelands,
With nothing left alive,
Withered vegetation,
Where no light ever shines,
Searing winds have scorched the earth,
A new beginning is given birth,
The water thickened and painted red,
From all of those who have bled...
Cascading rivers of black,
Flow with blood from the dead,
Now the time has come,
For us to reign,
Misery is given life,
Through everlasting pain.
3. Solar Journey
I stand alone now,
In this ruined world,
Desolation was caused,
By futile wars,
For those who fought,
Are all dead and gone,
Though constant battle,
Has made me so very strong,
As I take a look around,
At this dying earth,
There is nothing left for me,
So what must occur,
Dark revelations,
Embrace my tortured mind,
The solar journey,
Is the only path I find,
The time has come to leave this place,
Drift alone in deep space,
Journey towards the burning sun,
Back to where it all begun,
I board my vessel,
And head for the stars,
Through this cosmic trail,
I will travel so far,
Enjoy the serenity,
Here alone in space,
This solar journey will,
Take me back in time,
To defy the ways of God,
And all mankind,
Returning to the ways,
Of everlasting pain,
Where chaos is the law,
And blood falls like rain,
Now approaching the sun,
It's burning my skin,
Blistering flesh appears,
Final descent into the flames,
Finally the end is here,
I couldn't imagine,
That the pain I will feel,
Is worse than before,
Exploding within,
This journey complete,
As I pierce through the core,
There in front of me is my destiny,
To invade the world,
Of the holy trinity,
To bring it down is my master plan,
As the war begins I make my final stand,
The time has come to burn this place,
Annihilate the human race,
Showing them that I am the way,
The world never thought,
It would see the day,
Now that I come to this journey's end,
My mission is completed with their death,
Returning to a place that I call home,
To suffer forever all alone.
4. This Sanguine Farewell
My hands shake just like the fallen leaves,
Dyed the color of my lover's blood,
Sanguine ecstasy calls to me,
Driven forth to desperate ends,
Oh my love is newly dead,
There's no path in front to tread anymore,
The night forbids any sanctity,
From the act my heart's pain has lead,
Oh...where are we now?
My withering bride,
Within sinful arms,
Forbidden lust,
I've chosen not to defend,
Oh...where am I now?
In constant anguish,
This crimson paint,
My memory,
Of the bond that between us is dead,
This mournful eulogy I sing for you,
A final dedication to your end,
Oh...I can see you now,
A haunting beauty,
Your skin so white,
Your life's plight,
Is reflected in dead eyes,
Oh...where am I now?
Trapped within this hatred,
Feeling anger inside,
I cannot hide,
How much that I resent you,
Now my dear the time has come,
To send you,
Into the afterlife,
Where you shall suffer eternally,
Forever in misery.
