alleheilegen
the trials of scorn - the retribution - the prophecy condemns - the church of blood cries execution - Her cursed children ablaze - in shadows we are gathered - enkindle far off flames - enshrouded we remember - in shadows we reclaim - shadows we reclaim - tombs of buried screams - fields of haunted drifting restless - pyres of severed dreams - epitaph of emptiness - virginborn holocaust - a church of lies and venom - alleheilegen – die kinder von flamme - and these shadows know your name

angels in traction
prophetic - know the day will come to break our fall - undying - through the years we stole the strength of fire - and soon your convoluted truth - shall come to surface in their eyes - shall come to surface in the world - we’ll turn you out at each distortion - we’ll burn you out of each illusion - we stalk this ‘hallowed’ ground in tragedy - unfit to wear the wings of your elite - you spit the venom in our faces - the holy war is joined in progress - the war is joined - the war is joined - as you stare into the face of our truth - know that we’ll never ingest this infection - the cage is shaking the joints come loose - receive the consequence for misdirection - we stand with backs turned at promises - we know your walls can’t endure our struggle - your empty words have gone their distance - you walk unhallowed barren ground - unfit to wear these wings - we spit the venom back - know the day has come to break our fall - fear the day we break this fucking fall

autumn wore a crown
among the ashes of the day - we thrust our hands in search of hope - white knuckles shift and turn the dust - to bleed the answers from the soil - and when we pass along our yesterdays - to the hands and hearts of those to come - have we to offer but a memory - have we to offer them - the reasons - the seasons autumn can you still this burning paradise - yours is the final place - winter greets our broken dreams with your demise - can you claim these years forever - immortal bliss is all I seek of thee - to live eternal in your shade - you are the echo of my destiny - you are the watcher in my sky - and when we pass into the shadow world - into the hands and hearts of those we lost - have we to offer them their memories - have we to offer them - the reasons - the seasons autumn can you still this burning paradise - yours is the final peace - winter greets our sullen tears with your demise - can you claim this age forever - preservation is at hand - can we lift the veils of death from our eyes - resurrection master plan - live forever under these dark skies - and when we pass into their memories - will there be anything but emptiness - have we the consciousness to reach again - shall we be ever seeking - the reasons - the seasons autumn can you still this burning paradise - yours is the final gate - winter our horizons with your righteous lies Can you claim this soul forever - to wear this crown forever - to wear this crown forever

burn to my touch
irreverent lust - twisting fucking squirming - venomous embrace - slake forbidden desire - accept the seed of disgrace - across a quavering tongue - there was an innocence - a shroud of seraph wings - bewitched by arrogance - your angel breaks its strings - sacrifice every shred of self - memories forever scarred - sate your swelling hunger - devolution demon whore - accept the seed of suffering - across a smoldering heart - squirming - venomous - serpent kiss - into the fire

dissecting eden
as bliss is torn from hazed eye - demonic laughter resounds - in cruel comfort - the candle breathes its last - no shades of sorrow - no parting graces - a grim enclosure of - antagonizing memory - no one must crawl behind these eyes again - no one must crawl inside to snake this spine - no one must crawl behind these eyes again - no one must breathe the serpent sweet caress - the ruination of the innocent - the heartless lure of vacant faces - and still I forge the chain that binds me - as sure as winter - winter - the scalpel incises the vibrant skin - flesh parts - enraptured as the purge begins - and for a second the blindness is lifted - as sure as nightfall - nightfall - no shades of sorrow - no parting graces

execution masque
blades of iron raze the fields in ignorance - drawing deep the blood from earthly veins - withering the springs of richness deep within - leaving barren fertile gardens of delight - gardens of delight - sever the spirits from the earth - cut free the tethers from our hearts - we wear the execution mask - as we plunge headlong towards the dark - headlong towards the dark - unbind the spirits from the earth - let free the wicked in our hearts - we wear the execution mask - as we plunge headlong towards the dark - premonition man’s destruction rising high - evolution coming to a full collapse - fragile balance shattered in the wake of greed - ashen gardens blackening we burn the seed - raise the scaffold high upon the gathering night - taut the cord to maximize the stranglehold - propagate the plague of human vanity - human vanity

killing tomorrow for yesterday
in age of avarice, we stand divided - the gates stand festering, hope flies on its last wing - death bell sounds when the price is paid - remember when starlight danced in quiet glen - the branches shook in sullen breeze - the shadows bent to kiss the light - the howl of wolves would breach the night - the sun swept its path through the day - engraving its face in the dust - how will you forget this? - How will you forget? - the shadow’s dancing in the dust - they’ve painted the tears in her eye - they’ve painted her skin and her sky - how will you forgive this? - how will you forgive? - we haunt our yesterdays

mine is the vision
rise - routine existence - moored down in realm of glass and steel - plastic persistence - savoring hands that break the will - mundane empiricist - new world conspirator - collapsing innocence - dream product lines and dollar signs - some think to settle for their share - i want it all - and i’ve got the gun - so sign the bottom line in blood - sign the bottom line in blood - pave my road to paradise - rise - mastering devil smiles - glass steel skyward for miles - i’ve seen the new kingdom - i am the new kingdom - some think to settle for their share - i’ll take it all - and i’ve got the gun - so sign the dotted line in tears

one shadow's climb
woven in wire - with razors to pave my path - glistening truth - as each crimson dream stains the sky - i am the night side of faith - carving my world from my skin - i am society’s wraith - carving my world from within - lost among a sea of shallow smiles - lusting for their expiration - hindered by the weight of modern chains - held below the tide of stolen voices - grinding of teeth…the sweltering burden of earth and sun - haunting the breach - eclipsed by the dream below - the heart becomes ice - frozen in streams of neglect - my hope becomes vice - straining against the reality - woven in wire - i am the night side of faith - carving my world from within

pagan storm arrival
rabid tongue you hide - vultures in your eyes - fabled words of christ - myth of self-sacrifice - let the slaughter be taken to you - children of the brightest lie - we cut your tongues and sting your eyes - with blood of our ancestry - do you hear the sound of your angels as they are pierced upon a reign of thunder - rabid tongue you hide - viruslike your eyes - servants of the holy ghost - soon to join your absent host - rabid - children - virus - illusion - let the slaughter be taken to you

seasons of steel
derelict in jaded black - paragon of winter - hammer at the boundary - memory, disinter - never crossed the web of shadow - never held the light - never knew the breathing world that hid beyond the night - never held the light - and these words will paint the stones - which stab the sky above your bones - these words will mock the firmament - as victory, descent - stabbing the sky - collapsing - heart in the corpse of a world that awaits your demise - deny this - seasons of steel - unyielding mind in the skull of a dead man walking - defiance - seasons of steel - stabbing the sky - i am your fucking murder - impious - heart in the corpse of a world that awaits your demise - you wear these seasons of steel - unending mind in the skull of a dead man walking - embrace these - seasons of steel - a paragon in winter black

serpent culture
impaled upon the grandeur - serving our own delusions - impaled upon the glamour - we thirst for bloodied wine - the doctrine serpentine - the rape of reason - the realms of virtue - know nought but treason - in mirrors of attraction - you praise the lord, good fortune - in vanity’s conception - you join the dance deception - praise this conception - breathe this deception - the doctrine serpentine - the rape of reason - damning your virtues - stealing your seasons - in mirrors of attraction - you praise the lord, good fortune - in vanity’s conception - you praise the fucking devil - the fucking devil - praise the devil

starlight barricade
on this barren hillside - i struggle towards the firmament - reaching as high, as my earthbound feet would carry - often they would pirouette, waltz across the empty silent void - constantly reminding of what we might never achieve - we might never achieve - astrophysics puzzle thought - calculate impossibility - forging horizons for mankind - count the distant raging fires - count the walls before us - starlight as a barricade - as the patterns scatter, feelings of confinement wrap my soul - distance evades my grasp - stilling my dreams with the ground - silence the dreams in the dirt - stilling my dreams with the ground - silence the dreams in the dirt - every evening thoughts conceived - as I wed thee skies of night -diabolic infinity - mocks me with its haunting light - silence the dreams with the earth

star-crossed
all hail the azure skies - condemned by shadowed lies - strongholds of empty eyes - with wills imposed they wreak their walls of woe - castrated nothing stone - detach our hearts disown - creations fire alone - smolders in the ashes of a dream - constricting acid scream - unrest is woven - regression interlude - enbalmed to frozen - thy bleeding will be done - the sky is parted - foreclosure is attained - a world uncharted - we'll never let you in - our hearts are blinding our words are binding - we'll never let you in - the wards we build your truth distilled - inject the lifeless dead - forgotten sorrows thread - through broken daily bread - the timeless seal is standing in the dark - a faint gleam now a spark - a sultry dreamers mark - chill song of wounded lark - a restless world is bleeding from its hands - closed off to dreaming lands - once more forsaken - once more to hide your head - once more mistaken - thy bleeding will be done - skies void of color run - into the grayish hues - where nothing is left to lose - we'll never let you in - our hearts are blinding our words are binding - we'll never let you in - the wards we build your truth distilled - never let you in - never let you see us again - never let you in - never let you see us again

suntyrant
the black soaked patterns retreat from the day - engaged in oblivions masquerade - through bales of dayfire the host now descends - his chariot lacquered with blood from a thousand dreams - you forget your promise - the perfect promise the eyes you held - the perfect promise the pain we felt - cast off into unto the world the thirst will never end - and never a place we can crawl - forever the brilliant forever enthroned - the coils of this flesh now unravel behold - you forget your promise - the perfect promise the eyes you held - the perfect promise the pain we felt - brilliant forever enthroned - a promise we could live without

the name of the machine
electric century, chaos born, binary souls - corridors of static impulse fuel the forge - vast reserves of hunger never satisfied - in ecstasy we sate our thirst on white noise - renewal of mankind impends - we cast off the weight of our flesh - adrift in the ocean of light - selfless and satisfied - cast off the weight of our flesh - cast off the weight of our sanity - castrate your neighbor in the need to feed - gluttonous vampiric entity - mass upgrade, product of oppression - a grand grim destruction of value - renewal of mankind inflicts - we cast off the weight of our skin - adrift in the ocean of One - selfless and satisfied - cast off the weight of our flesh - cast off the weight of our sanity - for One - electric century - we cast off the weight of the world - existence in streams of sound - set course through myriad galaxies - to seek the new feeding ground

the spiral rises
believe in nothing - hand in hand in hand - betrayed by promise - this isn’t going as planned - buy into a dream - you never had - consume the addictions - which merit the mad - i will not walk in your world - i will not kneel in your world - i don’t have a choice in this world - i don’t have a voice in this world - and at the end of the day - i hope you like what you see - and at the end of the end - i hope you love what you lived - material altar - material fraud - the latest in fashion - the latest in god - our deviant struggle - may not be heard - you can erase the prophet - but never his word - and at the end of the day - i know you’ll count what you own - and at the end of the end - i know you’ll die alone - all we need is here - all we need, within

vessel
this cold creation shifts below the weight of worlds - where lost minds stretch on broken landscapes - doomed to this single shell but longing another - grasping at the hands of time and truth - there is no truth - your razor tongue - is all i need - so on my flesh - fasten and feed - your razor kiss - is all i taste - my will pours free - my last escape - abomination taking flight from mirror steel eyes - denying a cavernous silence inside - another dreamer knowing what it is to burn - another dreamer staring down the path to no return - the sky will not return - your razor tongue - is all i need - so on my flesh - fasten and feed - your razor kiss - is all i taste - my will pours free - my last escape - if only time would stop - within a single drop - i’d rule the world

we who seek the dark
grief fixation, sufferance, deviation - bright pools of crimson mutilation - to set the demons free in flight - and breathe the rapture, sick relief - blood trails and marred flesh - rivulets of red rain - ever climbing - in discordant fury - in lieu of social strain - with bloodsoaked honor, we retaliate - self inflicted, flesh castration - carnal dusk inebriation - flowing free the tides of life - a conscience carved with love and knife - blood trails and striped flesh - rivulets of new pain - ever shining - turgid tapestries of silence - scars like us - scar horizons - of a world unsolved - scars like us - scar the heavens - let the truth be known

winter angels fly
upon the embers of night - carried by wind through a moonlit world - under the snowswept pines - halos of swirling white fire light the sky - the blood - the life - the blood - the life - in her tears i can drown my time - in her tears i can purge this life - upon the shadows of white - carried on winds of a sinless world - the mountains are but lines - and whisper hymns of high - the blood - the life - the blood - the life - in her tears i can drown my time - in her tears i can purge this life - the blood - the life
