Album • 2012
Panic strikes in slow motion! Heart's clenched like a fist A physical pain A sense of defeat This smell of isolation A hall of mirrors multiplying Grotesque features of a golden idol Melting fast in the fires of confession And the shame feeds the anger Feeds the shame Feeds the anger Feeds the shame Dim lights from a dying coal cast a silhouette upon The soot-smeared window, the unsolvable crime And the heart implodes like a faithless star Beating backwards, beating fast into black coals of nothingness Beyond redemption And the shame feeds the anger Feeds the shame Feeds the anger Feeds the shame

Time dissolves before my eyes I know, the graves, they always try to hide Then, what are graves to me? Their sins are not infectious I claim immunity to their disease Oh, the serpent coils... Again I will consume the fire To purge the entrails of my soul Now let go, disperse the fear Loose the grip on what is out there What I see is deep inside Paranoid will be my guide Hollow eyes will lead the way A quest for peace will burn in the end Inhale, exhale, reach far into the deep Descend to where the devil's crying, angels weep Better forget what force wide open Embrace the night where blood is On the darkness, to return to black Oh, I fall and know to bleed The source from whence my demon sees Time dissolves before my eyes I know, the graves, they always try to hide Breathe to bottom lakes Breathe, reach far into the deep On a quest for peace On a quest for peace In burning ruin

I crawl through mud and secrecy To reach the edge of sanity And fall through cleansing air Clashing down into the sea We, between the eagle and the snake Beyond what is real and what is fake Between the eagle and the snake The walls come down Embrace the pain of this profound affliction And yearn the sting, the serpent's tranquil kiss Just sow and reap the gifts of liberation To reach the shore and do it all again It is night, now, do all leaping fountains speak louder And my soul, too, is a leaping fountain It is night: Only now do all songs of lovers awaken And my soul too is the song of a lover We, between the eagle and the snake Beyond what is real and what is fake Between the eagle and the snake The walls come down

To drain the blood from his veins This black stinking oil And scorch the print of every finger On these cold hands To pull the teeth from the jaws Of this treacherous skull As to shut the eyes and the mouth To enveil his head Impale his heart To cut off every limb That never touched the sun All these burns A burning offering to new blood that would bother Why suffer? To drain the blood To scorch the prints To pull the teeth To shut the eyes Enveil his head Impale his heart To cut off every limb That never touched the sun All these burns A burning offering to new blood that would bother Why suffer? This crippled memory This crippled memory This crippled memory

Lies running over the snow-plated dew Like a statue of ice With no more room for me alive Slowly taken down by age Going back through every page Something old, something new Something borrowed, something blue They like a monument's spit on Forced pierced the naked light Tears iself apart Rime frost blocking out the light Drapes the memories in night Something old, something new Something borrowed, something blue This will not sleep This will not die This will not sleep This will not die The world is away feasting on the intestines While guilted fear depraves call out alone When the skeleton eagle fought, fought, fought to the ground Slowly taken down by age Going back through every page Counting enemies in flashlight dreams Rime frost blocking out the light Drapes the memories in night Something old, something new, something, something This will not sleep This will not die This will not sleep This will not die

He hammers the earth with a shovel Anger thunders with every strike Inside his skull A funeral A cold-blooded murder He hammers the earth with a shovel Yet, his grave was empty from the start Someone or something To forget A hole in the ground He hammers the earth He hammers the earth with a shovel Beating it all to dust and stone Beyond recognition Faceless Bloodstained soil He wipes the sweat of his forehead A strained laughter in the face of dawn Marks the completion, the end The last missing pages Secretly he hammers the earth

Please get away from me Descending backwards Through the sleepless black Washing the firey glare The small of ice In the distance, it disappears Breathing with emptiness Filled with collumns of winter and night The stinging sensation remains Of hungry eyes, nurturing the pain The stinging sensation remains Of hungry eyes, nurturing the pain To return away from mourn Revive from colder air, yeah Watching, watching... there was a man Through such in gloows many will decide Your heart is barren flame You keep it above your head Like a torch gone black You dig in the dark, you dig in the dark She spoke to me like hope was real That peace was something I could feel
