1. Intro - A Cry From the Halls of Blood / Empire of Lost Souls
I live in the thoughts where the shadows no longer dance
and where my tears fall into the colours of the lonely dreaming crying songs that my works are.
The melancholy clouds of my feelings float away in the tide of faces which the soul of mine is.
I wonder about life even though death is close and as my lost life falls into its definitive end...
the light won't save me. Tired is the blood of mine and my brain will not speak no more.
I'm living in a prison of flesh and my heart won't answer my calls.
I'm shaking as I'm crying and as I feel the last drops of my life leave my useless cold body
to walk the night... I'm one with the night... I AM
2. Myself / Dreaming (Bonus track)
3. A Journey in Darkness / Entering the Forest
I'm kneeling down on the forest's deiny ground
sun of the infinite sky doesn't reach me here
Oh darkness embrace me blood stop circulating
the mist surrounds me as I'm falling away my trance
My blackened teeth chew at the air we breathe
(whisper) lean its shapeless nothingness from the holy spirit
Poisoned I am by his holy feeble godness
(whisper) I spit him out in a bloody flood of phlegm
Their world is turned inside out
I take their lips to my mouth
The people lies in articulo mortis
I spread my wings and fly away
I'm the face of the night in which you all will drown
I'm the power the almighty dark everlasting strength
my body was for a moment cold and left alone
still my breath is a sick unken smell
4. Little Child of Light / Degradation of Holiness
(whisper) Little child of light, so full of life so bright
(whisper) you saved people from sin, and everything they kept within
Love and joy you taught, and had your foolish followers caught
as they were weak and left behind, esaily fooled by your leader kind
you told them to have faith, in a god so good and great
a heaven they would see, if they death would meet with thee
So when hate grew in the air
to fight it you said you dare
with the holy ghost at your side
defeat instead of pride
Shadows from darkness came
unleashing the wrath no one can tame
holy blood were spilled on the ground
and with this all goodness drowned
oh little child of light... you did die that night
But in the first hand they should live
with the intention of goodness give
degradation of their will
you thought evil was so easy to kill
The sky has frozen to ice, and from the ground the dark ones rise
your cross is still in heavens sign, but the inverted one is mine
we'll make known, that the words you spoke, were promises you broke
5. Castle of No Repair / Lies From a Blackened Heart
My castle of blood beyond deepest sorrows lies distant clouds
its grey tower puncture the sky
(whisper) the pain
My skin the gloomy ground will not swallow thee
the echoes of my black heartbeat falls forevermore
(whisper) living further
My heart it cries
it slowly dies
castle of no repair
(whisper) stop the pain
6. Enter the Darkest Thoughts of the Chosen / Agony's Silent Paradise
(whisper) I am the face and blood of knowledge
(whisper) I am the pure heart of wisdom
I smell the night sing its sleeping ancient lullaby
and the non-existing star horizon burnt its candle
Find the dark in my eyes
I'm not and I'm all
I'm the end of the beginning
(whisper) What do my eyes hide ?
I hear the winter breathe and spread his message of cold
and the clouds change their eyes and forget the time
I feel the skin of the trees listen and walk away
and the moon dreams and I hear its eternal call
I taste the depths of the sea in my eyes and fly
and the lips of dust play its song forevermore
I sea the colours of the world disappear in the mist
and the bright tear of my smell fear the morning
7. Shores of Kaa-Ta-Nu / The Eternal Walk (Part II)
Flying through the night sky among the stars
the air caresses my naked soul
I've reached Ophthalamia's darkest parts
the evil desolate shore
The icy water whips the ancient rocks
I see the black blooded sea of Ragiih-Nib
the mountains of Makubu-Keen have guided me
oh stars now hear my scream
Give... me... the... Sign... Shores of Kaa-Ta-Nu
(whisper) Give me the Sign
The water raised above me and the sky died
oh lord of all accept my soul... Take me
keep on searching son maybe you'll succeed
so cold everlasting night here I am
Give... me... the... Sign
Try to find the keys of wisdom
Sathanas will guide your quest
and when you'll have found'em
the chosen place is for you
8. This Is the Pain Called Sorrow / To the Memory of Me
(whisper) This paper have gone creased of all these dripping tears of mine
(whisper) but I won't change it so that you'll see my grief
The grey cloudness heaven weeps in its painfull anguish
the mistfilled morning outside is paralysing my mind
my eyes are like to fading ravens on a snowfilled sky
my features are as dying and fading as the rivers of love
This is the pain called sorrow
my scream echoes in the night
this is the no-tomorrow
my useless everlasting fight
(whisper) reality bleeds
Snowdressed whispers gently fall down on silent ground if visions in beauty
...ahh under the stars the ancient trees watch my cry
the horizon is filled with black bird singing moaning songs
as my last breath caresses my lips... watch me leave
Who lays a thought on me now as I lie here forgotten ?
my eyes memories have been wiped away
the speech of my mouth can't be awaken no more
my hair which once played with the wind have stopped it's game
Don't wake me up !
9. Outro - I Summon Thee Oh Father / Death Embrace Me
I sit in loneliness and watch the meaning of my past.
It dances and twitches then it lays down and dies.
I see the morning sky tremble and then it open and begin to cry
as night falls and darkness fills my room... whispering thoughts haunt me,
my candle burns low.
Can I find my fate ? Can I be one with my desire ?
The perchment of my future burns fast and I burn myself
badly in my futile attempt to save it.
The black blood of my heart weeps, in every tear a part of myself.
I have features of youth but a soul of age.
Why can't I see the web of lies my life is based upon so I can cut them
and become one with the sky ? I long for the harmony... the peace within me.
I wish to see myself in the burning light of truth and no longer be a victim of hate.
I search for the purity in me... I search in my blood...
I open my vein to see what ever it may be.
And as the red rivers of my life flow from its tunnels and caves...
I see lies and falseness die.
I'm fading away, drowing in a thick mist of burning ice.
I'm showered in the blood of dying hate and I feel pure.
I'm taken to the breast of my truth and I'm reborn.
