Pilgrimage

Behind these grey barren eyes
Withering heart decaying within
How I long for what I have lost
Flickering hope in a dying flame
There's nothing left to hold on to
I'm descending into despair
What seemed so real before is fading
An epiphany shattered my waking sleep
I am an empty shell
Human clockwork, disposable, replaceable
Servant of the instrument
Self-inflicted imprisonment
Through the veil above
Distant in the haze
Calling me homewards
Guidance of light
Behind these grey barren eyes
Withering heart decaying within
How I long for what I have lost
Flickering hope in a dying flame
I walk away
Not looking back
I walk
Every step I take clears my head
The winds keep blowing
My steps leave only time behind
Exhausted feet keep marching on
This spirit cannot rest for now
The guiding light still shines
Through countless freezing nights
I have walked
To see forgotten memories
Before my weary eyes
The shapes of the mountains intrigue me
The sound of the rivers remind me
My pilgrimage ends here
A calming sense of relief
I left my torment behind
Seduced by aurora's flare
Shun light upon my dying soul
I stand before my past
And I wonder why I did not leave before
Lifetime in solitude
Inside protecting walls
The answers were always there
Questions left unasked
Far down the path of life
There was a silver lining
But time is like a river's flow
Pouring into the ocean
A prisoner of a chosen faith unknowing
Journey to the end
Broken chains of emptiness
Weary, old and weak
With a beating heart
Reckon the prosperity you seek
Question the honesty of your goals
We're all heading towards the end
We shall make this journey worth
Make this journey worth

Ashen Snowfall
03:42
|
|||
A trillion bullets creeping in
Deconstructing my organs
My ticking clock accelerating
Its gears into motion
Invisible bullets penetrating
A ticking clock accelerating
Mass extinction anticipating
As skin dissolves, my reality turns to ash
The taste of flesh and blood elevates hysteria
Blistering shine, consumes my perception
Unwillingly I linger were my agony began
Dormant seeds spreading disease
Sprouting to the drums of the beating heart
Entangled ruin in the making
Betraying its creator
Ashen snowfall, herald of death
Ashen snowfall, bringer of death
Tortured in the depths
Decaying faces staring at me
Dysanthropious
Descending in regret
Ashen snowfall, herald of death
Ashen snowfall, cause of our death
Cause of our death

Run, Run Away
08:03

Run, run away
They came in the shade of the moonless night
I have seen the flames in their eyes, it was do or die
We fought, fled, cried as the fire rained
The acrid smell of our flesh thick in the air
Red rivers spawned from their steel ran hot through the streets
Flooded the drains with our blood and tears
I can hear their screams when I close my eyes
I can hear their screams when I close my eyes
Consumed by a primal ordeal
No time for thoughts or reflections
My pain went numb as my legs grew faster
And newborn instincts took me towards the wilderness
Veiled in the dark
One with the night
A faint glow in the distance
My only light
Embers
Hellish reminder
Veiled in the dark
I could hear them hunt
The ones I knew and loved
Now you run, run away
Run, run away
Now you run, run away
Run, run away
Now you run, run away
I can hear their screams when I close my eyes
I can hear their screams when I close my eyes
The light of day penetrated the rising smoke
Time will not wait for the damned
From within, my dreams withers
Now is the time to escape
You can see my wounds
But can you see the scars I bear inside?
Etched into my mind?
Can you look through my eyes?
I see their faces in yours
Please hear my plea
Their ravaging doom cannot be fought or constrained
We must escape, what are we waiting for?
They will come on this night to kill
My arrogance condemns every man, woman and child
I drown in the darkness of my own making
Crowned by frost as the king of my dead
Unable to fathom the visions of demise
I was the one to pass down generations of knowledge
Objecting to the nature of your will
A contour of the people we used to be
Our burdens are cast upon those who remain
I can hear their screams when I close my eyes
I can hear their screams when I close my eyes
As the sun kills off the shadowing veil of your crusade
I am anchored beneath the tide of your crushing power
I acknowledge, the hunt is of the past
Their ghosts lives on
Eternal whispers inside my head

The Impossible
07:45
|

The winds of winter are howling my name
As I traverse this snow-covered mountain ridge
To a summit that stands amongst the clouds
In search of the heart of our sky
I kneel in the circle of stone
To seek knowledge in the monuments of old
As the world shifts before my eyes
I find myself in a realm of darkness
Walking a path infused in sorrow
As my consciousness weakens itself
I am but a hollow shell of my former self
Time does not move on this plane
Amidst hopelessness shines a light
Filling me with hope once again
The spell of misery is lifted from my head
I shall never forget the eyes in the void
I need to overcome this impossible burden
I am all but complete
In my own eyes I am still free
Ember divine, plucked from the sky
The absence of light cloaks the meaning of it all
Mighty old sun, creator of life
I am drawn to your fading warmth
Like a moth, drawn to the flame
I let myself go, as my feet leaves the ground
Pillars of light, burning my eyes
Encircling me in a pit of demise
I feed on a fragment of the sun
The fast fading flame now resides in me
The dead ocean will not answer my call
I descend both in body and soul
I feel the crushing darkness of the deep
Hindering my search for the essence of life
At the deepest floor of the abyss
Lies the broken cradle of life
Once linked with the sun beneath the waves
Now acclaimed by the creatures of the deep
Guarding the key
The sun within me lights up the basin
Revealing a forgotten city
Shrine of the ancient rituals
Where sun and ocean were once linked
I am the temporary vessel
To be sacrificed for a new dawn
Essence divine, submerged through our time
The absence of light hides the creations of old
Mighty deep ocean, cradle of life
I am drawn to your cold embrace
Like a moth, drowned by the flame
I battle my fears, as my feet meets the sand
Pillars of dark clouding my mind
Encircling me in a pit of demise
My body now the vessel
The essence of shadows a part of me
Unleashing my dark obsession
As I let the beautiful darkness devour me
Drowned between realities
Burnt by the chaos in me
Fusing that which is inside of me
To lay the foundations for a new age
Past failures erased
Formed anew from the fragments of my dying world
Ocean and sun linked once again
My inside on fire, my inside drowned
I offer my life for the gift of tomorrow
As my mind drifts into the void
I can see the new sun

Phantom Fears
06:11
|
|||
Staring into my eyes
Alluring and unafraid
A million shivers
Marching through my arms
Warmness disappears
Flowing cold through my blood
Rest assured I'm still alive
Though not for long
Emotions floating away like steam
Don't want to be here no more
Looking away for a second
I felt the strangest sensation
Phantom fears, solid tears
My mind transferring
Connections inseparable
I am become, forever
Volumes of humanity
Layers of insanity
Closure undone
Float on by
Staring into my eyes
Alluring and unafraid
A million shivers
Marching through my arms
A thousand years inside the mind
Oblivious minutes passing by
Regaining consciousness vision clouded
Unstable and borderline
I've shed my human shell
I am become, forever
Phantom fears, solid tears
My mind transferring
Connections inseparable
I am become, forever
It's too late for separation
Too late for restoration
I am forever us
Volumes of humanity
Layers of insanity
Closure undone
Float on by
Unravel closure
Reborn, in death
Silence, take me
Enter exit

Atlas
13:06
|

Morning mist grasps around my frozen roots
A touch of life awakens my weakened heart
My slumbering thoughts emerge
Rise
A shimmer of light piercing through
Structures intact, my eyes are opened
I am the dissonance
Observing dystopia in the making
The tales of old holds no meaning
My world suffers despise my efforts
Great colossi, beneath the crust of the earth
Warriors long forgotten
The second wave, hidden by the gods
A restless wind sings for this earth
Bewailing in pain, over what used to be
The clouds paint a picture on the sky
A picture soon to be forgotten
From the deepest pits they arise
Foul creatures, spawns of destruction
Mountains shiver as they draw their first breath
The sky they darkened
Failed attempt to rid the earth
Thus an army of heartless beings
Devised in their place
The land fades, now pale and gray
My world in ruins, for reasons still unclear
Towering walls of rock and ice
Casts a shadow upon my mind
The harsh beauty of the spectacle
Awakens the storm inside
This pain is all I know
Hidden behind this surface I've made
I will not bow before
The will of these tyrants
A waking dream
Intertwined with reality
In a formation of stones
Lays the body of a god
Thunders travel across the sky
As the carcass is consumed by the ground
In its place The Atlas presents itself
Its path forever etched into my mind
The dark calling my name
Far out in the waters cold
An island peaks dead and alone
Its heart a gateway of the void
I am awakened
By the sound of flames in the distance
The water surrounding me, burning
Its reflection shines
Across the waters they walk
Tall, silver haired beings
Reaching out for me
Guiding me towards the end of my journey
From beyond a vast nothingness
Their eyes tempting with ascension
My place is amongst them
A place for the chosen few
The bearers of The Atlas
Those long destined to be gods
I feel my spirit mending
A miasma of time erupts in all directions
Blazing flame brings darkness
Every shadow casts fear
I have conquered the courage
To not act
No longer eluded
By the passing of days
Time is but a dimension
In which I am free to roam
I am no longer of the living
Although I'm not dead
Through my journey I discover
That no place is truly silent
My ascended consciousness entangled
In a great mass of entities
I am the purest soul
Formed by waves of energy in the fabric of time
In the fabric of space
Time and space
The sun rises for those in need
The rivers of life flowing
I have broken free
From the lies of one fate
The raging fire wanting to meld
The broken bonds between realities
I will be the last to cross
This frozen lake
The everlasting storm is fading away
