Carved into my skin
I can’t read these runes
Stigmatized, Injured
A secret banned into my flesh
The silhouette of a sere tree
Emerging shadows from his branches
Growing souls soaked in blood
Piles of bodies strengthen his roots
A glimpse in the dark
The ancient spirit is coming down
It dives into the scars
I am empowered
Reality fades into dream
A frozen raven
Shows me the way
To the roots of my inner mountains
The silhouette of a sere tree
Emerging shadows from his branches
Growing souls soaked in blood
Piles of bodies strengthen his roots
So it begins
I am the iron a blacksmith forms with hands
I am the plow a farmer uses to create life
I am the crown a king gets his power from
I am the sword that devastates life
I am the raven watching over wisdom
I am the wolf bringing loneliness and grief
I am the snake seeding hate and fear
I am the bear sharing both power and pain
My eyes becloud
My thoughts are getting slower
A spark of what awaits me flashes
Before my consciousness is devoured
Awaking
Pain is tearing me apart
Flames bursting out of my skin
Release me
I am now complete
My path is shining in front of me
The meaning of these runes
Exposed to me
But insecurity is coming up
Is this my fate or just an option
And with insecurity comes agony
I am not wiser but weaker than before

Three Beggars

The blind beggar says
Son I’ve seen things you wouldn’t believe
Occasions, Pictures all a man can desire
But I’ll never share it. It’s my own!
You can follow me or die unknowing
But I doubt
The lame beggar says
Son I’ve walked to places you wouldn’t believe
Countries, halls containing everything you desire
You can follow me or die dispossessed
But I doubt
I hear them but I
Don’t believe them
I let them fade away
Without their lives
The deaf beggar says
Son I’ve heard things you wouldn’t believe
Conversations, beautiful voices explaining the mysteries of earth
You can’t follow me ‘because you denied
And didn’t trust
So he walks away
Leaves me behind
With questions
And desire but
I’m lost I’m lost
This chance
My only chance of peace
What I denied will end my life

NIHIL
06:52
|
|

Existence of mankind is over
But not yet realized
As the paradise burns
Laughter lances through the silence
Martyrs sacrificed in vain
The warmth of the sun doesn't reach the ground
Nothing to believe in
Nothing to hold on
Dawn of gods, collapse of worlds
Apocalyptic prophecies fulfilling
The wisdom of the ancient is lost
And childlike curiosity derided
One day we will be the ones
Carving bleeding memories on stones
One day we will be the ones
Devouring our legacy to keep us alive
One day we will be the ones
Forgetting to save our drowning child
One day we will be the ones
Blasphemy of died days withers
as mockery’s victims expire
we are the nephilim taking our own sons
One day we will be the ones
Carving bleeding memories on stones
One day we will be the ones
Devouring our legacy to keep us alive
One day we will be the ones
Forgetting to save our drowning child
One day we will be the ones
Nihil est
Nihil erit
We never acquitted from our guilt
Nihil est
Nihil erit
The void will swallow us

Trübnis
08:24
|
|

Wolkenverhangen trübt sich der Tag
Schwarze Tropfen fallen herab
Der Tod so nah das Leben so fern
Das Schicksal des Verlangens
Die Klinge bohrt sich durch das Fleisch
Sorgen ziehen vorbei
Pure Lust treibt sie weiter
Der Körper schreit voller Zorn
Das Seelenheil wird zerstückelt
Die Welt verhallt in Schmerzensgesang
Tausend Schatten schwärmen
Engelsgleich durch die Nacht
Klagend schreiend
Erlösung birgt nur der Tod
Flügelfedern von Pech durchzogen
Öffnen sich und es wird Nacht
Der Leib qualvoll gepeinigt
Dickes Blut peitscht aus der Haut
Gedankenscherben bilden die Rüstung
Diesen Schritt zu durchstehen es braucht
Ein Funkeln ein Blitzen
Die Zeit bleibt stehen
Endlich wird es klar
Alles ergibt sich in Wohlgefallen
Als das Ende naht
Wolkenverhangen trübt sich der Tag
Schwarze Tropfen fallen herab
Dem Tod so nah dem Leben so fern
Das Schicksal des Leidens
Die Klinge fährt aus dem Fleisch
Das Leben zieht vorbei
Willkommen Tod
Erlöser Verführer
Nimm mich auf leite mich
Willkommen Tod
Erlöser Verführer
Nimm mich zerstäube mich in die Zeit

The Enemy (Demo)
04:13
|
|

You brought my enemy to life
A shadow behind my bare back
Ripping up scars hardly healed
Chains are pressing on my mind
Forged for slavery
Yesterday I was a free man
Yesterday trees stood ablaze
Yesterday you said these words
And chaos rose from the sea
You brought my enemy to life
An endless trail of broken souls leading me through night and mist
Candles carrying abyssal flames melting out their eyes
He is too strong
Our lifes are lost
We fought with many soldiers
buried him in our steel
but I am not sure now
whether it was real
Convinced of the evil itself
I held my sword
But with these words you told me
I raised the force …in me
You made my enemy a lie
