BLACKSHIFT LYRICS
"Chimera" (2005 Demo)
1. Forgotten by Dawn
2. Chimera
3. Chaos to Order
1. Forgotten by Dawn
(Music: Nygren, Lindgren Lyrics: Krochmal)
Destruction reek, death knell for the weak
A thousand throats sore as they howl at the sky
Shattering fire descends to end your cries
The heavens scatter the doom of the land
The final realization that your death is at hand
Your dreams are left to rot with the flies
Broken and gone, forgotten by dawn
Annihilated, never by murderers seen
Impressive victory celebrated
The heathen innocents obliterated
A thousand votes more for the executioner
Blood-crazed spectators know what they like
Another whale-handed surgical strike
Broadcast wet dreams
Of human flesh ripped apart
Broken and gone, forgotten by dawn
Annihilated, by two hundred million seen
(Twin solo: Nygren, Svensson)
Gehenna unravel
Turn the world to gravel
Armageddon armed
Distorted charms
Endgame brought upon
A world in which all justice is gone
Justice lost, bleed the cost
Destruction reek, death knell for the weak
A thousand throats sore as they howl at the sky
Shattering fire descends to end your cries
The heavens scatter the doom of the land
The final realization that your death is at hand
Your dreams are left to rot with the flies
Broken and gone, forgotten by dawn
Annihilated, by murderers unseen
(Solo: Svensson, Nygren)
Bleed the cost, humanity’s lost
All is lost
2. Chimera
And then that was it, ending definite
The world rages hideously, all cease to be
As the clouds gather and leer, enter the fear
With my acid bride, in darkness we confide
The grey days bear no witness, mental unfitness
A stony harsh descent, sulphurous scent
And then it catches up, time itself erupts
Chimera
We are what we make (the poison is spreading within)
You know you’ll never wake
Pray for the nightmare to end (naïveté treading in sin)
Hope that your mind doesn’t bend or break
Strain chemically induced, refuse misuse reduced
Voluntary abuse, synaptic end of truce
Mishandling of minds, deranged and left behind
A syringe pointed at the heart, reality torn apart
We are what we make (the poison is spreading within)
You know you’ll never wake
Pray for the nightmare to end (naïveté treading in sin)
Hope that your mind doesn’t bend or break
Chimera, chimera
(Solo: Svensson)
These jagged razor visions are filled
With poisoned thoughts and fear
Closing in for the kill
The sleepless dream draws near
Hopelessly helpless in the bind
Deranged distorted frame of mind
I know I have my self to blame
Some things stay the same
(Solo: Nygren)
The thoughts wax and wane, distant from the pain
Nothing is like before, will be nevermore
The corpse-to-be-trinity, begins with me
Nothing comes for free, just wait and you will see
We are what we make (the poison is spreading within)
You know you’ll never wake
Pray for the nightmare to end (naïveté treading in sin)
Hope that your mind doesn’t bend or break
3. Chaos to Order
(Music: Nygren, Svensson Lyrics: Andersson)
Dark clouds, a bloodred sky
My mind’s wrecked by pain
The fear, I cry out why
A mental acid rain
I feel I’m falling down
Into the abyss of remorse
Like lead, my limbs won’t move
Fettered to the dark below
From madness I won’t improve
This pain on me bestowed
Chaos, disorder
I hear them speaking lies
Dressed in burning white
I see them laugh and deride
In hellish burnt delight
Through darkness I will learn
The truth behind the masks
Fire burning in my brain
Etching the road I must take
It’ll be no death in vain
This soul I must remake
Chaos, disorder
(Solo: Nygren, Svensson)
A violent sacrifice, to cure the soul
Through blood I’ll pay this price, in life reborn
Your pain will see through mine
Like rain, it cleans my guilt, forevermore
Eyes blind I cannot see
Shut out in this world
Surrounded by my sins
The last of me destroyed
Chaos to order
This violent sacrifice, can’t cure my soul
My blood has paid the price, forevermore
This violent sacrifice, can’t cure my soul
My blood has paid the price, forevermore
This violent sacrifice
