1. The Wasteland and the Fog
Enter a barren state of mind
Force fed illusions laced with lies
Dead trees remind of my life
The sun is shrouded by the emptiness of time
Hate – What can I do to make this worse?
There was something
Now its nothing
There is no one
But the wasteland and the fog
You said that you could change my world
With fingers crossed you stole my soul
You think you left without a scratch?
Just wait until you turn your fucking back
The moon's ambient light reflects the dead forest before me. Ghosts whisper and beckon. They tell me tales of paradise. About a realm into which I do not belong.
I am hated. I am alone.
2. Embershroud Sky
Nothing remains of this desolate place
The beauty lies in the solitude of destruction
A twisted metal graveyard lined with corpses
Fills the empty blackened rivers of tar
All we once knew is gone
Caskets float on the blood red oceans
Desensitized to the smell of dead flesh
With shame we hang our heads
Across the black plains
The raven flies
Feasting on carrion
And the flesh of divine
The statues crumble
The temples collapse
Man divides
In fear
Evoke the flames
Destroy remains
Conquer
And vanquish
Even the skeletons bear the guilt
Their hands clench the methods
Of destruction that lit the sky
And rid the Earth of life
3. In Defiance of Celebration
This is who I am
Beaten, broken, a soul still mourning
For the loss of nothing
I'm haunted by my pessimistic fears
My faith is shattered
I am not the man you think I am
Do yourself a favor
And just let me go
Let me
Die here
Alone.
Faithless.
Why? Do you haunt me?
Memories of a past I thought that I forgot.
My hands begin to tremble
They've returned...
I don't want to live this life again.
I don't want to live like that again.
There's no way out...
4. For All Your Sins
You were so in love
The words are etched in stone
And feelings of guilt
Are never really washed away
I thought the end would bring
Some comfort to this dying heart
But unbeknownst to me
It only made this worse
Fall... Fall
Amen
I feel like being lost
feel this world is closing in
And there is nothing, and no one
For all your sins
Something terrible is happening
For all your sins
Something terrible, something terrible...
5. A Monument to Nothing
Before me, the graves lie dormant
Below me, a silent casket lies in doubt
I scrape away the leaves and frost
The voices weep, I can't shut them out
I'm falling
Forgiveness is a fashion
I'm fading
Only you could love me
When angels fall – I close my eyes
Try to shut them out – To shut them out
Autumn, raped by frigid winter chill
What's left of memories, (are) broken and betrayed
Is there forgiveness in loneliness?
Who will console the broken hearted?
What's left for me? Blank stares and blood shot eyes.
What's left for me? Roses meaning nothing.
