1. Cries

Searching for answers
this cannot be true
Am I living this life?
Cries of fear, morbid reality
Cries of despair

Fulfilling the dream,
Is it to much too much to ask for?
Desperately seeking feelings
With those who may have the answers

Knowing there must be more
I keep on looking
Am I the only
One asking these questions?
Cries of fear, morbid reality
Cries of anger

Death, grasping its freedom
If not disappointment as always
It's been part of my life
So I cry




2. Regrets

Regrets for what has ceased to be
Call this our last goodbye
We'll meet again
In what must be - a better place

Cood companionship
Is beyond any dimension
Regrets, for what could have been
Though death may part our lives...
It will not seperate us




3. Dark Ages

A century of holy fires
Death commanded by a holy bible
In fire many souls were lost

The mysteries of evil
Truth or insane lies
The fear of the unholy sword
The fear to see evil arise

Witchcraft, a cause of death
Prove your innocense
Or cruelly you shall burn

A century of holy fires
Death commanded by a manic priest
In fire many lifes were lost

The mysteries of faith
Truth or insane lies
The fear of the holy word
The fear to see evil arise




4. Ode To The Lamented

The grave,
Place of rest for the beloved one
hear the sound of threnodies,
For the one forever gone

Rectangular black hole,
Like jaws of death themselves
Soon they will be shut
With only memories left




5. As The Heavens Fall

Helplessly witnessing the infamous
Progression of humanity
- surviving -
Confronting the moral decay
Of these dark ages
As in future, as in past
Will this darkness come to last?

Helplessly hearing
The cries of the raped
- surviving -
Not blind, nor deaf,
Will reason finally catch up with death
As in future, as in past
Will this darkness come to last?

Desperately fighting
The breaches in humanity
- surviving -
As in future, as in past
Will this darkness come to last?
As the heavens fall




6. Come For Me

Despair and anguish torment my mind
Where is the one who was?
Part of my mind, part of my soul
The one I need to make me whole

Losing myself in endless grief
Emptiness ripping my soul
The shreds of sanity
Barely holding on

Wanting to be with you
Pleading for death, to come for me

Trapped in a body
Of needing, weak flesh
I'm merely human, thus powerless
For death brings life
But life brings death

Wanting to be with you
Pleading for death, to come for me




7. Despair

Civilisation, a word used in vain
A dark show in which we all play
Sinister actors
Caught in their own faul say

Genocide, horror of the past
Sign of the times
If god had seen what is going down
He would defy humanity

No more than rats,
Struggling to keep their filthy lifes
Birth the reason, for their demise
Though human
Yet loathing the other
I am the killer of my brother




8. The Elder

See life pass you by
Your last hour growing nearer
Enjoyed all pleasures of life
trying to latch on

Desperately trying
trying to latch on
The elder want to grasp
The elder want to know

One foot in the grave
Pass on your wisdom
Made the choices and decisions
Desperately trying to latch on

See the world pass you by
Everything seems to fast
The elder want to grasp
The old surpassed by the young




9. Supersession Of Breath

Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all
Many times he died
Many times rose again
A great man in his pride
Confronting murderous men
Casts derision upon
Supersession of breath
He knows death to the bone
Man has created death




10. In Memoriam

Extrasensory signs
Not much time left
Deilitation of mentation
Life expropriation

At death grips, daunted by the unknown
Latching on to life, final acceptation

Longevity is lost
Lapidation of hope
Manumission of life
A soul will arrive

At death grips, daunted by the unknown
Latching on to life, final acceptation

Now here to lie - deep inside the earth
