Faculties of Time

The aversion cast a shadow
Since the moment I realized
I'm conscious, a useless animal
And how life begins to shrink itself
As all I could see was the abiding nature
Of time...
Creeping down on me
Lacerated by the arrows of clocks
And a fragile circadian rhythm
I begin to understand
How the line is getting shorter
Of the cycle of being
Blurred in a parody
Diminished existence bound
By the faculties of time

Abandoned Desires
02:17
|
|
||
|
Hope based in others
Can turn your back
On what cannot be undone
Abandoned desires
Knowing that you're gone
Before it makes any difference
Hands and mind
Raised to the sky
Dull, from the iron taste
From the blood on your forehead
Leaving a world
That would have been
Better off without us
Failing, writhing
Falling, cowering
Hands and mind
Raised to the sky
Dull, from the iron taste
From the blood on your forehead
Damn my eyes
Swallow me whole

Parallax
03:54
|
|
||
|
I forgot how
To roam free
Under the stars
'Cause all of my
Instincts have
Atrophied for life
I'm caught in this endless disease
Subject to be an instrument of tyranny
The self-deception
Worshipers of greed
But to say it is a noble lie
Behind the glow there is a dying light
And I became the prey
The natural slave to the heirs
For this I have kissed thy ring
This love no longer feels real
For I'd rather cut off my tongue
'Cause I already don't have a voice
The self-deception
The bottom feeders
All my prayers, all my vows
All my anguish, all my scorn
All misfortunes
All famines
Come with a price
And if I've shown
Respect at times
Down below awaits
The punishment to their souls

All is not lost is long forgotten
When every gallows finally sagged
And the prophets meet their crosses
We will be left with stones and bones
Maybe one day you'll see
We are not here to rule and breed
We should go extinct
Before we cut down the last tree
The spreading disease
Spawned forth the devil
The curse of humanity
Castles burn in disbelief to my eyes
We celebrate our greatness
Losing our minds
While we decimate everything around
You gifted me with anger and contempt
Your reckless actions turned into my despair
I'm trying hard
To survive with a block
Of concrete attached to my back
You gave me the carcass

The Constant Dissonance
02:33
|
|
||
|
The constant dissonance
Of one single voice
The sound of echo caused
By these four walls
The static sound
Penetrates my bones
Isolation is never enough
I hear no voice but only lies
Sentenced to failure
I burst from my despair
Finding pleasure in pain
Absolute disappointment
What if I'm worthless?
Blissful and numb
I sunk, ignorant
Take all I am
The past that I will be
The mind is projected on it
As in a mirror of eternity
An immortal being is all men
A way of saying that I'm nothing
Take all I am

Never Again
02:55
|
|
||
|
There is a certain feeling in the air
You can see the clouds coming
The tension is clear
Hear the drums of despair
Banging from far away
Wolves from the east
Planting the seeds
The threat to my liberties
Detriment to all your needs
The threat to my liberties
For one arm a thousand fists
There are those waving the flag of self defense
And those seeking shelter in common sense
The eagle has landed, claws sharped with fear
Another chapter in the book of ignorance
There is a certain feeling in the air
You can see the clouds coming
The tension is clear
Too late for lamentations
Watch life repeat itself
Like vultures to carrion
Seizing every chance
Laudation of fools
Carving their way
We are sworn forever
I said never again!

All Consuming Filth
03:42
|
|
||
|
Discouraged and alienated
Without truce or plans
And still the scourge
Won't give any solace
Even if I'm reluctant
Blessed me with my miseries
Their martyrs march
On hollow corpses
They cut their wrists
To welcome me with open arms
The filth consumes me
As it rips out my eyes
I won't be tamed
Resurrected from the dust
Wind sculpted my face
To resemble the grace
That washed away
And now I stand
Rotting away
With what we've learned
Till our obituary
If I could understand
What all of this meant
Laid on the hands of fate
Engraved in myself
|

Let the pleasure destroy me
For I have sinned
Let the pleasure take
The best of me
Consumers of lust
The product you will buy
Swipe side by side
Swallowed by the crowd
Give me the pleasure
And don't give me guilt
Give me the pleasure
All what I need
I will find peace when the worms eat my flesh
I will find peace when there's nothing left
Watch me melting
Behind dirty glass
Watch me destroy all we've known
Let pleasure take over pain
Let it destroy me slowly.
I am no saint

In Apathetic Isolation
02:10
|
|
||
|
This is the relief
I've been longing for
Heal the wounds
I chose to have.
Withdraw with me slowly
Into our true nature
And leave this
Hell in the past
In apathetic isolation
All life goes away
Devoid of purpose
Days go by
Too much too little
But never enough
Fed like rats,
We ate from the hand
This perspective
Won't change any of us
I wish I could go back in time
To retrieve the essence of existence
Before it all falls apart
|

Let me smell the morning rain
One last time, let me rejoice
Simple pleasures at last
Touch the earth and feel alive
Lay my fingers in the dirt
To hear the beat of my heart
Real truth lies in lifeless eyes
Wasting away what was never
Destined to any of us...
Damned into the endless solitude
Without chance to bear a light
I'm running out of remembrance
While our sight greys and fades out
Our minds are running dry
Now there's nothing left to recommence
I swallow in guilt
We weep in loss
Nail the coffin
The balm is now venom

Despondency
03:24
|
|
||
|
I was heading
To a degree of catastrophe
From the start knowing why
The imperfect beings we are
A road to oblivion
Abysmal downfall
To quiet this mind
That gnawed into itself,
Troubled spirits
Can greet the first signs of pain
And I'm relieved
I reach the final breath
To find comfort
In the midst of memories
Everything I am is bound
Everything I've done is bound
In consequences
That began with birth
Which I'm powerless
To alter at will,
When right and wrong
Are just as one
Accepting both is accepting life
How many days and nights
Have rolled upon me?
Awake before dawn
Consumed by the fear
Deep hours in the dark,
Play with my fateful destiny
Let the sun and the moon
Dig a grave for me

Hardcore vocals style blend in beautifully with black-metal and results in a very interesting yet unusual musical eargasm. WOW! I came across some newer stuff and I walked away immediately and I made the big mistake not to check these older albums !! My bad, but I'm glad I saw the live album and decided to get this and "ghosts..."
