The Reflecting Void

The crystal gates of a promising change Distant, unreachable, the relieving faint So far away... Have I reached what they call freedom by ceasing to taste the darkest sea? But still it keeps on breathing in the very inside of me A Dying Dream Inside it is pulsating, the procreator of demise Within, there is laughter, a darkest stare of ice I will not surrender! I will not let go this “soul”! I will not surrender! I will not let go…

In meinen Händen spiegeln sich Taten, zeitlos in sie geprägt Doch ist es mein Blick, der auf ewig mich verrät Es ist die Wut, die mich zerberstet, der Zorn, die Raserei In ihrer grenzenlosen Blindheit bricht sie alles entzwei Eine Illusion, deren Schein aus tiefster Tiefe strahlt, deren Kraft das Sein durchtränkt in einem Akt der Gewalt Schritt für Schritt bahnt es sich den Weg Schritt für Schritt... Es ist der Teufel, die Versuchung, die Kraft, die in dir wühlt Der Antagonist des Rationalen, der Drang nach Zerstörung, den du fühlst Ein unbändig‘ Feuer, das wütet in Ruinen aus Fleisch Ein Sturm geerntet auf Verderbens Geheiß Kein Ort der Ruhe fern der quälenden Zeit Kein Ort der Ruhe fern von Sorglosigkeit Stück für Stück zertört es dich Das was ich tief in mir fühle, ein haltloser Sturm, Alles zermalmend, angefüllt mit reinstem Zorn Doch das was tief verborgen bleibt, es kennt keine Wut Es ist eine unsägliche Leere, die in mir ruht.

This current in which I drift day in day out Every breath taken to prolong this doubt A wish? - No words. A fading will. This never ending pain – a painful and infinite sustain accompanying this life until the end The consuming tragedy of falling quiet The weight of the world on your shoulders And the deafening voices within this mind reflect the annihilating nature of constant soul corrosion Is this the end or just the beginning of a horrendous repression? Self perpetuating, every returning malicious beast In your eyes I see the progenies of my aggression The all consuming path of deceit And still I keep on believing… The constant corrosion of my soul Will persistently emaciate your life And the deafening voices within this mind are collapsing realms in a vortex of empty worlds This current in which I drift day in day out Every breath taken to prolong this doubt A wish? - No words. A fading will….just a fading will Constant Soul Corrosion With open arms I welcome what is to come An empty shell contains nothing that can be harmed I counter my doom drowned in utter emptiness

Out of nowhere a usurping promise A hideous reversion into painful re-existence A biochemical thunderstorm of relentless retrospection The smashing hammer of blackest affection You down-dragging force, a parasite all along The irreversible downfall which I ever since prolong Daze me with your black-lectric stings In haste I surrender Ill-lumen me with your white poison wings You false pretender! I can feel your defiant presence! Cortical Spreading Darkness! An arcane existence from within Cold claws soaked in sin carving their way into my labyrinth I feel no pain My trembling thoughts, just as my flesh are diffusing into a state of painful separateness The pulse generating white halo monster Is pulling the strings of my demise Save me…! The way back is just an illusion to keep the prey alive I can feel your defiant presence! Cortical Spreading Darkness! The curse of my life, my strength for which I would die

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Ein Raum, gehalten von unverschleiert trostlosen Wänden in deren toten Klauen Gefühle harren, die nur eines kennen Wie blinde Schatten, regunglos fixiert auf ihr Ende starrt auch die „Seele“ voller Hoffnung gen der Zeiten Wende Es flüstert eindringlich in mir! Es spricht - zu mir – allein! Es verdirbt! Die innere Reflexion - ein Teufelskreis der Gedanken Diese lähmende Tristesse, ein Fluch, eine Geißel! Diese Ketten meines Geistes aus mir selbt gemeißelt Das zerbrechliche Innere beginnt zu taumeln im Angesicht zerfressender Verzweiflung Ein Raum, in dessen trostloser Leere ich fand das Leben in all seiner Pracht ins absolute Nichts verbannt Wie soll mein Atem dieses Fleisch noch nähren, wenn diese verseuchten Wände meine „Seele“ bis aufs Letzte verzehren Es flüstert eindringlich in mir! Es spricht - zu mir – allein! Es verdirbt! Innere Reflexion - Ein Raum so karg, dass selbst der Tod ihn meidet

Deep within - a devouring darkness With you and no one else I am bound to live With you and no one else until the end of all time No escape and no remorse for what lies behind and further the countless times that we fed on each other We stood as one on the brink of this abyss yearning to finally receive the ultimate bliss Time, within this ocean of pain drowning outlasts a life I am running towards a “salvation” consisting of nothing but lies And by my side an omnipresent darkness devouring all the light Life, within this dungeon made of flesh I am attending a masquerade of emptiness And by my side an omnipresent darkness devouring all the life Katharsis is an illusion

In my restless attempt of giving a name to my darkness I see myself striving towards the unknown Is it necessary to define the suffering when it is suffering that defines all life The illusion of relieving obsession A fateful companion on my darkest course In its longing words there is no end to its deceiving persuasion …no end Driven by the pursuit of divine fulfillment A human mind on the apex of destruction Relentlessly depleting the source of life In desperate hope to be reborn through its own creation I burst into pieces!
