1. Adrift On The Sea Of Misery
2. Lighthouse Eternal (Laterna Magika)
This night is dark, black as hell itself
This is the wolf hour, a sea ready to devouver
Standing at the shore, looking out
Standing by the sea, forever looking for thee
I have been standing by the sea
built to stand for forever
As walls of water crash
I am stone, I will last
Radiant my fiery eye,
cutting through the night
A solemn last promise
a barren unyielding light
I might be the last light you see
The first not to abandon thee
In these less than fortunate days
Lost among these treacherous waves
Chorus
Lighthouse Eternal, Laterna Magika
No matter where you hoped to go
No matter where you have been
No matter what you hoped to find
No matter what you have seen
No matter what you hoped to achieve
No matter what you have become
No matter what you hoped to do
No matter what you have done
I will always find you
not let a single soul go astray
We will bring you home again
Not one single soul will be left behind
These winds once carried me too
Back when I was so like you
I left port in search for other shores
I dared these waves when all else had failed
Now I stand blacker than the night
At a shore where no one should go
My light will never falter, never fade
When all else is lost, I remain
Chorus
I will always find you
not let a single soul go astray
At the edge of the world of darkness
This is the last port before it all ends
For the stray ships cast the
furtherst south of Eden
No matter your flaws you are welcome here
No matter your sins or past my dear
You are welcome home sweet fallen one
We’ll bring you home again
We’ll bring you home again
3. Hidden Beneath Flesh Pest Ridden
The truth lies hidden, beneath the skin
The truth is bitter, the truth lies hidden ///
The truth lies hidden, beneath the skin
The truth is bitter beneath flesh pestridden
4. Beauty Of Bones
We are the ostracised
The fucking apostatised
Scorning the dogmatised
Black puke globalised
We are the demonised
The lost cursed and stigmatised
The black fucking tantalised
This healthy world’s parasites
As the havoc ceases
And our bodies drained
Past the very last heart beat
Then we are akin again
Chorus
The beauty of bones
They rest hidden below
All our flaws set aside
We’re all alike the instant we die
The beauty of bones
As the chains of flesh let go
When naked bones remain
And only then will we ever be the same again
We never wished for this to be
Never asked to differ, we just do
But in truth we are quite like thee
We leave as bones and so will you
Behold the malprogrammed drones
Your failed and now useless clones
Rejoice now cause beneath it all
we are but bones
When the flesh has failed
Mere bones remain
Then we will be so alike
Then we are the same
Blessed be the children of the fall
Chorus
We are the ostracised
The fucking apostatised
Scorning the dogmatised
Black puke globalised
We are the demonised
The lost cursed and stigmatised
The black fucking tantalised
This healthy world’s parasites
5. Forever Mournful
Forever darkness
Forever rain
Forever mournful
I will remain
Forever darkness
Forever falling rain
Forever mournful
I stand alone and so I will remain
The world is changing
Nothing stays the same
Forever eroding
Only I seem to remain
I stand still, dead and cold
A statute of stone, so black and alone
Chorus
Time cuts wound that never heal
Forgot how it was like to feel
What it was like to believe
How life used to be
I turned dark
I grew cold
I turned to stone
I seen so many souls come
And I have seen them all go
I have seen so many gods rise
And I’ll see them all fall
This soul is so frozen
These limbs are so worn
This heart is to tired
This soul is to torn
The world is changing
Nothing stays the same
Forever eroding
Only I seem to remain
I stand still, dead and cold
A statue of stone, so black and alone
Chorus
I am mournful in this void of laughter
I am stone in this realm of flesh
All I see around me is a Ghost dance
Frozen in a world that slowly changes
Destroying all I ever needed to believe
Is stand forgotten and overgrown by grief
Let the Nordic thunder Roar
Chorus ////
6. Adrift Towards Eternity
