Sear Bliss

e ground will be shaking
When I unleash my wrath

I have been at the birth of time
I have seen rainbows made of methane
Galaxies were my playground
And the universe will be my grave

I sank into the waters
Of grotesque
I must drink from the fountain of wisdom
For I want to roam

The unfathomed depths of the universe
Where stars are born and die
And the aeons seem only to a moment
A tiny fragment of endless time

But now I stepped through
The threshold of fear
My heart is filled with joy
I laugh upon the mortals
For they can't explore

The unfathomed depths of the universe
Where stars are born and die
And the aeons seem only to a moment
A tiny fragment of endless time

I have been at the birth of time
I have seen rainbows made of methane
Metagalaxies were my playground
And the multiverse will be my grave

Nothing weakens me anymore
It is unearthly tranquility I found
And now I cross the river of no return


2. Reverie

I am where the loneliest souls gather
Though I remained all alone
But may these moments be eternal
May this dark yet starlit sky shine on me
Forever


3. Night Journey

Enter my dreams and you will see what truly hides behind my mask
Believe me I am bleeding from a thousand wounds

I often feel I'm banished
This world is not for me
For a long time I found out
How to communicate with stars
For they are my only companions

On the edge of an unknown existence I am staggering
Look into my eyes and you'll know what I'm yearning for

I celebrate the funeral of my emotions
Will this nightly journey ever end?
My scars are deeper than you'd think
And even if I die now, my shadow will haunt you

Forever!


4. Glory To Perdition

I'm in the claws of darkness
The sky above me is bloodred
I welcome you to my place
Where I dwell
In the palace of loneliness
At the shore of forbidding illusions

I am the planet and you're my moon
I need you
To glorify perdition

Until the grave I'm fighting
I try to look into your mind
In the flickering light of a lone candle
I summon thee

I rebel against the things they do
I never let them take my throne

I am the planet and you're my moon
I need you
To glorify perdition

I'm bewitched by your splendour
Time has come to the final sacrifice
And in this very moment
I summon thee


5. Two Worlds Collide

Feel the cold embrace of despair
In the land of the phantoms
Be prepared, for you will taste
The cold sweat of fear
This is what you will feel

My tears mixed with rain
My blood became cold
My soul in sulphur lake

I saw as the sun broke to shatters
Since then the coldest winter dwells in me
I will be here until eternity ends
For I've seen the future
And I've seen the past

But I broke the hourglass of tomorrow
And time will lost its meaning

My tears mixed with rain
My blood became cold
My soul in sulphur lake

7. Shores Of Death

In dim half-light
In shadowy reverie

Near the Stygian shores
Where howling winds prevail
And the tainted soul of a man
No longer stains the air

This is where I've arrived
With the taste of grief
That plunged a dagger into my soul

In this recondite yet gruesome moment
There's only one thing left unanswered
Is time in constant motion?

With the grief of a thief I scourge my foe
Now I'm truly rejoiced
I do need no one anymore

In dim half-light
In shadowy reverie

There's no return from this place
And now the funeral will begin

I linger on among my memories
That used to mean so much
But now I bury them
Into the deepest of my soul
In the graveyard that dwells within


8. Dreams Spectre

My will has woken
Feel the eruption
Of all that seethe within
This is the beginning of the neverending restlessness

Rise!

Among pyramids made of ice
And icicles of sand
Crossing the orbits of dangerous planets I flee

My soul is broken
Feel the eruption
Of all that seethe within
This is the beginning of neverending restlessness
My life it and elegy unwritten

I sculpt you like the clay of time
Like crystal snowflakes dress the naked land
After an enormous avalanche
I lay there buried

Be prepared to be the next victim

Fall!

And now I realized you are a spectre in my dreams


9. Blood Serenade

The walls you built surround me
I'm lost in the labyrinth of my dreams
In the hollowness of despair
Where my memories are dead

I'm in the chains of temptation
Of the darkside
Free me from the emotion of mortals

I'm mesmerized by the bleakness of the moonscape

Among the trees I feel
This sinister breeze
And I see that blinding glitter
In the dark
The walls you built surround me
I'm lost in the labyrinth of immortality
In the hollowness of despair
Where my memories are dead

I'm in the chains of temptation
Of the darkside
Free me from the emotion of mortals

I dream of the dawn of a new world
I dream of the dawn of a new age

If I could see with my eyes
You would be carried by the wings of demise

Without role on the stage of life I play
But I will wait for another thousand years
And until the end of time

My clearest vision of you
Is a blurred mosaic
Where the pieces are blended
And I'm confused
