Apocalyptic Portrayals

We fight to live, at the doorstep of extinction As the nature once again declares our indistinction Colors of life fade while death embraces the lands paramountcy of man decays, in vengeance for deeds of his own hands Those moments of glory seem to shrink While we're reminded of our trivial insignificance For it's not our judgement to make, and it absolutely never been For existence is nothing but mere coincidence Stench of death spreads, pale skins pile on the path to unholy burials Screams of the dying are heard as we march towards our destined future Our destined future! The days of darkness reign again, slowly it all ends in agony The sign of impending calamity is the only reality (spoken) I sense the storm of our downfall, I can see the sign of doom (spoken) A premonition for An analogous end, to the annihilation by Enlil Resemblance of the bygone days of ancient demise With permeating pain like a thousand fires Devouring it all Devouring everything Nature's plague shall prevail And man's gods are bound to fail The planet purging is about to begin It shall cast shadows upon our world The apocalypse I foresee, I am the harbinger of anguish The Resemblance of the bygone days of humanity's ancient demise Casting shadows upon us A resemblance of the bygone days, of our ancient demise The planet purging is about to begin

Raise your hands, ask for mercy Shed your tears, plead for forgiveness On your knees, beg for their grace Beseech with closed eyes, for your fragile existence Silent are the ones above, as the world below slowly decays And careless they seem to be, As we await our inevitable end and dig our own graves. The shrine of lies in the golden halls Helpless before the cries of their thralls Vicious faiths to end it all Delighted by your suffering, they stare down with vanity. The long since decisive illusions, for the fate of humanity (singing) Divinities wither, so did their precursors Confined in places of fear, mentally-oriented to our ancestors path Delighted by your suffering, they stare down with vanity. The long since decisive illusions, for the fate of humanity Battle the demons as they're destined to perish Evade a deception you that shall not cherish. Mankind's ultimate enigma is still unsolved Yet we are too dead to care, too lifeless to pursue Their supplicating voices echo in vain Their paths are dark and void Do they listen? Do they even exist? The truth Inconsequential and meaningless.

Sensing the unwillingness to endure At the shores of the black ocean Dwelling in the distant fortress of gloom In despise of all shapes of life Haunted by the beasts of horrifying nights Consumed by sleeplessness, I yearn the past Yet the sands of time did not cease to flow Lost between the nostalgia and the mourning for the death in me And still I linger, still I wander, thus wretchedly I step towards the unknown I step towards the uncharted The uncharted Quickly I drift down into the black abyss With mysterious feelings of rage The rumbling waves of the deepest of oceans With them I'm plunged into a place of angst In the frozen moment in time, when all grows obscure The withering leaves fall down in the face of a storm The fires in the desert, indicating the indefinite of nothingness Of my nothingness My nothingness Nothingness

Those martins are jaded by the frosty cold of winter, longing to see the dawn of spring Screams of silence, unheard cries from an isolated corner of existence I have tried to fight the omnipresent ghost, yet I failed Since his horrid entity to me has been unveiled And it haunts me It haunts me down For tragedy is an essential part of reality And to endure in life is to be in agony Restless soul is the sentence, and the future for me to be Sentenced to life, the sun dims within me The sun dies within me Oh darkness I have become yours, and you've become a part of me When the walls are closing in, I wonder if everything is even real As a way or lie to numb the pain An escape to an illusive sanctuary I feel the weight of mountains is upon me Detached from the wheel of time Oh darkness I have become yours, and you've become a part of me With broken dreams and weary hopes, collapsing are my highest of walls And inside the coldest of waters Further I founder into the deep dark ocean Restrained by the chains of my inner demons Muffled by the haunts of my yesterday I step into the conundrum, only to vanish within my own reflections I am vanishing, within my own reflections Further I founder into the deep dark ocean

Lord of destruction and bringer of plagues Son of Hanbi, king of all evils Ruler of malevolent forces Through the incantation I call thee By your power, the scourge will cover the earth Alterer of human perception With you we once prospered And by your will we shall perish As I walk amongst the stones of the lifeless I sense no mercy in these barren lands For thy will have prevailed For the will of Pazuzu have prevailed Oh bearer of storms, let the eternal rest embrace us Your winds gather from the mountains of the underworld I summon thee, who ascends the mighty summits Demise is what you shall deliver, for you are it's bringer Thy will shall prevail "Hail Pazuzu, angry wind, whose rising is terrible. Fierce one, raging one, who destroys the high mountains, who roars at the world regions."

Earth is filled with chants of grief The purging of the planet have started As we stand helpless in this ominous living The forces of death march for our ending Cyclical tales of the end of the world We have shaped the cross we bear There comes the punishment as hopes begin to wear We stand on the edge, brimming with despair The demonic whispers in our head have brought us there Have brought us there Those demons are invisible, though they're not fairy tales Their destructive nature can be sensed, and it still prevails Volcanoes erupts from deep within, destroying all from beneath the skin They fly us to the highest of mountains, then throw us down to the lowest of grounds Lungs grew smaller as we strive to breathe, our bodies shuddered with no relief No light at the end of the tunnel, there can be seen The path seems bleak, immedicable is the disease They return back for our haunt, yet more forceful and tormenting And there we stand helpless, before a dominance unrelenting At the battle with the invisible foe Struggling to grasp yet the curtain falls We have shaped the cross we bear We have shaped the cross we bear
