1. Dementia
2. Looking The Chaos Within
I was exiled once
And shattered into pieces
Dispersed about the universe
Each fragment morphing into soul
Compressed within the tissue
Nursing in the stream of blood
Sucking on the juice of life
And waiting for the moment to awake
For some integral element
For others parasitic strain
Transfecting every cell and mind
No matter what I thrive
Concealed within the shell of human kind
From dawn till dusk of human life
Forever fading and proliferating
I die in flesh that melts away like wax
Discharged with pus I flow
Exposed to perils of liquidity of life
I am your only solid core
Chaos within
Discharged with pus I flow
To feed the worms
Then briefly disappear
Only to be born again
A flower on the tomb
I travel through the realms of time
Musing at your self-inflicted pain
And savor my supremacy in your trival game
Where people are merely used as paws
I play on the stage of my desires
Until the time when all my bits rejoin
And I will come alive
...And order is just for me
3. Reckoning Infinity
With never ending torrent
Away your life escapes
Receding time
Departing landscapes
To evade the endless flux
Of worthless human scum
You hide behind the walls
Of a mirage asylum
Beyond your comprehension
The fact that you are free
Cause god has long been buried
In human memory
You will not find the answers
In the ancient book of lies
Forsaken, overgrown by weed
Your path to paradise
Doubt and fear are always there
To keep you company
As you march toward the end
Squandering your sanity
And when you spot the Charon's Boat
Sailing through the haze
It is you it's come to take
To the final resting place
In the oceans of infinity
That paralyze your minds
The truth can be discovered
By those with open eyes
Don't expect to find salvation
Following the blind
You know the end is coming
But only for your wasted life!
A moment before Armageddon!
4. Baltazar´s Feast
If you have chosen the path to the throne
Undeterred by the terrible fate of your predecessors
I had to share some thoughts with you
My son you will, in my opinion, be strong enough
To break the curse of endless rituals
Self-sacrifice and immolation
You'll have to cleanse your soul
From the layers of moral putrefaction
That have accumulated through the ages
I hope you'll never share a table
With bastards of Babylonian whores devouring
The flesh of murdered gods
(And drink from holly chalices the wine of their blood)
To rule them you will need
To hone your words to razor sharpness
To purge your kingdom of the vice and heresy
Harrowing the soil with the plow of hatered
Forsaking weakness, mercy and regrets
The orb of divine warrior
Adorns your youthful head
In which the rage of gods will soon awaken
And Avel's spirit by your sword will dispense revenge
This is the way you have to be
To reach the throne that sits atop a heap
Of skulls and skeletons of the tomorrow's dead
Of scum and villains who are feasting at my table at this time of plague
(So let this throne should not be turned for thee to cross upon Golgotha)
I'm afraid
You are not destined to delight
Perfection of your reign
As you were dealt the fate of
Gladiator
(In arena where all your deeds will be accomplished by your sword
So brace yourself to reign in a dominion
That's like neglected garden is overgrown with weeds
Whose paths are covered in decaying leaves
Flanked by the lifeless tree stumps
That never will produce a seed or fruit
Upon the ruins of Pantheon which once was home
To living gods now dead, you must erect your own shrine
From the debris create new form by force of your belief
From chaos forge new harmony
In Discordance new form of harmony you'll find
This is my demise
For which I'll raise my goblet
For the last time at the fest of Baltazar
I'll drink before my mind is lost to imminent dementia
I'll drink to the doom of decadent epoch
To the angels horn to herald it
To the coming of Zoroaster clothed in celestial gold
To the cleansing flame
(To rebirth of new epoch of glory)
5. Martyr Of The Sky
Searching for the meaning of existence
The very gist of happiness I've found
Flowing from the end of syringe needle
Filling bitter emptiness inside
He speaks to me through spasms in my veins
The one who has the answers to all questions
He watches me wherever I go
With a gaze that pierces darkness
All troubles melt in ghastly flow
While I succumb to blindness
Centuries of misery
For a single day of peace
The price to pay for useless pride
Torment for my sins
The venom pulsing through my veins
Like the black currents of Styx
Across which my soul is floating toward the haunted shores
I will not return to slavor
Worshiping the worthless
Lead a manequin's existence in an empty shell
But once the poison loses all its magic power
Shatering the illusions of my crystal tower
Golden shine of Jacob's stairway swiftly disappear
Angels turn to demons
Ejecting me from heaven into hell
Once again my heart will heal, time will dry my tears
I'll attempt to fly again running from my fears
Only to end up once more deeper than before
Crossing into nether regions passed the point of no return
Wandering about in ether, searching for the promise land
Always under the watchfull eye of my master
Who once gave me all the power but took away all love
And soon He's gonna rid my eyes of their luster
Elevated by His power I feel mightier than all
Yet forever in the groove of the one who has my soul
Captive to the voice of Erebus
Destined to remain imprisoned to His morbid influence
Handled and manipulated like a puppet by His will
While my suffering and burning fuels his existence
Till my empty shell is spent in this torture mill
Can not find relief in madness
Now I plead to you my final whish
As I look into your eyes emmitting darkness
Please incinerate my carcass back to ash
I don't want to be a martyr of the scarlet sky
Let me out of this confinement, let me die!!
6. The Unanimated
Can I prevail over death?
Can I bring back the already departed?
Can I wrestle one out of the Grim Reaper's grip?
What is life after all, but a scene in a play
In a theater of anatomic cliches
With a master puppetteer pulling on the strings
I cast my spell to gods and demons
Challenge the infinity
A fugitive amidst the mortals
Pariah in the realm of souls
I mourn the passing of my dear beloved
The creatures spawned by nightmares
Of decomposing flesh and carcasses exposed
They dwell within, consuming my mentality
The reek of countless murders
Penetrates my thoughts
Digging deep into my brain
With its iron claws
And I know the only deed that can bring salvation
Is to reverse the destiny and rearrange the past
Tonight I will reanimate my dear beloved, untimely lost
Exhume the body from the grave
And turn her tomb into a cradle of new life
With my lust and semen I'll inject my living fire
To see her move again, respond to my desire
But in her eyes I see no spark of recognition:
No living soul resides within this empty shell
No blood stream flows to warm the frigid flesh
The words that slip her lifeless lips - as chilling as her breath
No mortal can cheat death!
It's not my love, I realize, I've resurrected:
I've just reanimated the undead!
7. Ethereal Traveler
Swirling the bottomless space
And seeing the birth of flickering flames
My ark departing from home
I am alone once again
Other life seem so far
As my vessel battles the storms
Like a stranger lost on its way
The further away we get from the Earth
The closer we come to the world beyond
Fragments of earthly landscapes
Dissolve in a fallout haze
Disappearing like the fleeting illusions
From a distant childhood dream
Fleeing from the horrid reality
Now I see what our life has been -
2000 years of consuming agony
Spent in search of an exit
Form the catacombs of our mind
Denying our phobias and fears
We're seeking evidence of our supremacy
Invent the theory of evolution
Avoid acknowledging regress
Self-proclaimed masters of the mind
Yet remain servants of our instincts
The Old Testament has lost its laws
The values of the past are forsaken
Time and space have merged at a breakpoint
What awaits ahead no one knows
We may be able to cheat death
But fate we can't avoid
And those who follow in our footsteps
Will squander the grasp of wisdom
And will be left in charge of the riddles
Whose essence is not meant to be revealed
Our names and faces will be forgotten
Or become icons of the idol gods
Our heirs are doomed to be the servants of the cannon code
As they forget their heretic past
Who knows
If space walk leads into eternity
But what I know for sure
Is I don't wish to be another brick
A brick in a cemetery wall
8. Legacy Of Cain
All my nightmares back again - scared to go to sleep
They come and torture me at night, awake my dormant fears
Time after time, again and again
I am haunted by an image of a weeping maiden
Whispering her ghastly words:
No hope remains! No hope remains!!!
No hope remains to redeem the sin of murder
No chance to evade the fate
That will be dealt to human kind
Not in the ancient books or scrolls
Lives the damnation
But in your blood that fills your veins
And in your thoughts
Not buried in the ruble of past virtues
But in the dark uncharted recesses of your mind
In a ghostly shadow of Erebus it will arise
And dim your eyes to a shade of evil
Anticipating punishment you turn
Your gaze upon the skies
Or seek it in the depths of the Earth
But all to no avail
For your demise is much more closer to you
It's in your hands. O, descendant of Cain!
In the hands of a creature that calls itself Human
One day the words will sound within your brain
The words you hadn't heard before -
The testament of Cain to his abiding sons
The sword of words is wielded
By the enlightened one
It could be painful but effective cure
With potency to save you from this plague
Alas! To those were born deaf and blind
This cure is vain
And you soon will perish as a species
Drowned in the blood of your pointless wars
And there will be no one left
Carrying the seal of Cain.
