Arktis.

A shattered soul presented Like a disassembled gun Assassins rushing up the stairs All allies on the run Grasping for the pieces With hands of swarming flies A sleeper agent set to face A death where no one dies Cold sweat dripping Like hammers to the floor Panic eyes fixated On the light beneath the door Shadows move like fire Hysteric seconds tick Until the zeros of the clockwork Applaud the final click Finger on the trigger Back against the wall Counting rounds and voices Not enough to kill them all So, you thought you could escape without a fight That we would loose the scent of your despair Like rabid hounds we’ll hunt you through the night Along a crooked trail of blood and fear A shattered soul presented Like a disassembled gun Assassins rushing up the stairs All allies on the run Engage the code to self destruct It cannot be undone The last of the resistance Outnumbered one to one

In a world of haunting mirrors, your eyes should of been closed. Instead you lost your shadow, to become, like them, a ghost. Immersed within a mist of death, you withered in the light and left your disillusioned soul to tremble in the night. Look beyond the fear and take it back. The contours of your spirit make them black. You just have to (Give in) to the hunger. (Give in) to the solitude. (Give in) to the rapture of life. Give in to darkness. Mass Darkness. You just have to give in. Complete the shadow's circle to become all that you are. Surrender to the darkness to shine just like a star. You just have to (Give in) to the hunger. (Give in) to the solitude. (Give in) to the sanctity of your heart. Give in to darkness. Mass Darkness. (Give in) to the fire. (Give in) to the cold. (Give in) to the rapture of life. Give in to darkness. Mass Darkness.

I have felt the hunger The restless howling call, To lift my gaze across the seas And seek out foreign shores Yet, for all riches They may bring forth, The undeniable remains; My heart is of the North Beyond horizons There is kinship to be found The challenger of summits Is by no direction bound Still, untouchable Are those who hold my soul For them the fire burns And our enemy shall truly know the cold And should my spirit soften Like snow in early spring Or waver in the sultry haze That soothing summers bring Engage the compass of my heart All arrows drawn to N When night falls on my journey And my path comes to an end Take me north again

Static Dogmatic Death cult Fanatic Hidden In the open Masked By tradition Your face, your heart Fervent to obey Your face, your heart You gave it all away I’d rather live a life in sin And take the devil’s fall Than let the madmen of belief Make fools and martyrs of us all Get up off your knees Get up off your knees Your burden is a lie So, get up off your knees Lift your head up high Lift your head up high Your burden is a lie So, lift your head up high Your code Your line Your mouth Your spine A hammer To fictitious sins A cold field To south winds What kind of promises Could justify the sacrifice you make? This shame and fear You force upon this world for heaven’s sake Life you forsake Hope ran out In the desert sand Cancel all flights To the promised land

Screaming Into a void of disbelief Bleeding slowly The victim of a narcissistic blow Life can be so unforgiving Yet, what is there really to forgive? All you really have to do is…. Longing for the hopeless Loosing all to own the end Maybe you will find the courage To trust yourself again Why wrestle all this guilt When you can pick a fight with death? Why nurture weaknesses and flaws? You chose a life at war Now choose a worthy enemy If not to conquer, then to taste the blood Screaming Into the void of disbelief A conjurer of sorrow A parasite of grief Life can be so unforgiving Yet, what is there really to forgive? All you really have to do is live Why wrestle all this guilt When you can pick a fight with death? Why nurture weaknesses and flaws? You chose a life at war Now choose a worthy enemy You know, it doesn’t always have to be yourself

The early hours Of this late autumn dawn All ready taste of winter Cold mist rise From blinding waters Gracefully into the light And I can choose to watch Absorb this careless beauty Without restrictions make it part of me Until I too dissolve A fragment of it all These fleeting moments Between ashes and dust May well taste of winter And yet I choose to dream To form this life like clay Universal insignificance will guide my way Until I too dissolve Like mist in autumn dawn A fleeting moment to behold A fragment of it all Cold mist rising Until I too dissolve

I know I put this pressure on you To deal with and accept my being And the darkness that sometimes leak Through the cracks of my skull That slow grimy shadow Like oil spill from a sinking ship Still breathing and conscious Stare through a stranger’s eyes Devoured and sedated Slow motion muted cries Now I need to put some pressure on myself Put some flesh on these bones in my mouth Rearrange these fragments in my head Ignite those dreams with a few bolts of lightning The spirit seeks to be a hammer That forge the future as it glows The mind curls like an anvil To take the fiery blows The heart will sing of danger The brave and reckless call Set sail towards a distant shore Misgiving memories lurk In the darkest pitfalls of the soul Like an anchor hauler across the ocean floor I put this pressure on you To deal with and accept my being Now I need to put some pressure on myself Burn the oil, ignite the dream

The air is thick with strangers Laughing through your screaming lungs Imploding in your chest like death Absent exit signs ignite the flames, The fear, the rage that tear down walls Alas, in dreams alone they all collapse These hoarders of paragraphs And alibis and secret lies and hollow needs And enemies that draw you in These pillars of everything mundane Are but a gateway to oblivion Fever burning, weak and pale Like vultures to the wounded they’ll come You can’t afford to be this frail They’ll steal you Not cut out to follow Nor fit to rule A dethroned king of diamonds In the garments of a fool This jest of chaos This irony of common fate Some like dominoes Some like angels Apart In love From grace We fall fall fall Fever burning, weak and pale You can’t afford to be this frail Like vultures to the wounded they’ll come To steal you Deceive you Mislead you Erase you

Stranded at the borders of perception Onto a blackened heaven, washed ashore In voluntary exile from deception A peaceful mind, alas, a heart at war A solitary voyager upon uncharted land Left beaten on the rock, nowhere to go But to face an arctic map and with a cold and bloody hand Draw a crooked line through ice and snow Across the callous fields and valleys deep Through winter storms towards the mountains high He carved a path and from the summit laughed Into the unforgiving northern sky He came here clinging to a wreckage Only guided by the violence of the sea But not content to merely stay afloat He built a ship from memories and debris

Stay And I will turn these unforgiving words into a star Stay This scenery would change if we could watch it from afar Pain Like icons of our suffering, distilled, the works of art Pain A sting of life to bind us to these heavens, torn apart Celestial violence Eternal wars unfold across the sky Celestial violence Feel the unrelenting pulse inside Sing And celebrate the chaos of this canvas that is night Sing But strike a chord of dissonance when harmony betrays to lure you blind into the light An emptiness so deep Even time will disappear Hand in hand with all the whispers of the intermission The still anticipation of a scream Celestial violence Eternal wars unfold across the sky Celestial violence Feel the unrelenting pulse inside Celestial violence I will turn these unforgiving words into a star Celestial violence This scenery would change if we could watch it from afar Celestial violence The still anticipation of a scream Celestial violence Celestial violence Celestial violence Celestial violence Celestial violence
