Red Descending
Album • 2008
The Demons are enclosing Washing away your dreams Time becoming still Everything you thought you'd be Confusing shades beliefs All that's left is grief A part of the earth you adopt The emptiness must be stopped Big surprise you're leaving me behind Now I'll falling behind time Strengthen my weakness Craftsman of deceit Weaken my strength Sweetheart of betrayal Weakness my strength Narrator of nightmares Building my Weakness Labourer of grievance A world urbanised by guilt Enjoying the failed state and destroying what makes us live Enjoying what makes us die the ultimatums are rejected Offerings without peace and a declaration without war Trial and error your paths New mistakes will cost Hands upon your face A past you can't retrace Looking at this picture Knowing this moon won't shine As midnight comes calling Your might is now fading Big surprise you're leaving me behind Now I'll falling behind time Yesterdays verse will be sung today With a dark deserted soul I will fade away

Forgive, forget the weak If my ideas are too absurd Just watch me rule the land Out with the old and in with your soul A picture inside a border that cries Strong were the words and weak were the lies that were practised and mastered through time. The centuries of wasted lives Worthless, since the dawn of time Programmed in rhymes they taught themselves eternal grief with a selfish moral I blame you .. Destroy, dissect the filth. The grey that splatters the sky and the millions that questioned why Steady the tortured hand began to work Slicing before stabbing cultures and colours Ripping to pieces a smile and a laugh Leaving lost hope to pick up the past Senseless battles with unworthy kings Bloodied baths and a severed limb Ripping to pieces a trial and new start Leaving lost hope to pick up the past

Spending his days forever deep in thought Of better times far away from horrid cries They promised a life which had light in every sight But never again will he see his child's eyes And now, the grand memory Watch it light the fire He fled this land, three long years it's been since then Performing tasks with his bare worn hands And now his mind is set on leaving this cold land To mend the aching bleeding heart in the sand And now, the grand memory Watch it light the fire ...And burn in the night! Weakened by the chances that the madness may return he turns back to the darkness and all of which he's learned To find his path and belief is all it'll take Shed the weakness and build a new memory From now on crucial success is here to stay Watch him live a life of beauty in each day I will search the distant waters I will leave no stone unturned To complete a chosen destiny Or this face will forever burn

As the bird of prey watches (slowly) Gazing down upon the hordes (scrutiny) Desperate Lives scattered to the fringe But not before the slaughter falls A thousand years A thousand choices Where's it gone and what's become of it all Slow beginnings, ending too fast Here we wait... Slaughter falls Raining down upon the masses Falling spheres unknown to man Society's lost, crumbling to pieces. Evil force together with plans Hidden beneath the surface secrets alite Crying for salvation Trails of spoken words Never believed, war is conceived in the madness I'm waiting till Ive seen the one for me The one that will cure the case for agony I'm waiting till I change my views on life In memory this world will be rid of the misery I'll be there waiting for scattered dreams To unfold in this world If we wait 'till the final hour Than its all too late All will be lost We've got to wake Democracy's shot to pieces Leaders leading a world of their own Workers engaged in the labour of living Masses rendered impotent

Cast him down to the dungeons Similarities will overwhelm him there Between reality and despair And the cage within his eyes Descend my friend Cascade with unfeathered wings The passage you took Is frozen in time Descend my friend Cascade with unfeathered wings The passage you took Is red in the sky Try and save his mourning face Lift his chin and save his grace A task was given against his will This is why his feet stand still Speak his tale of adventure Whisper his tale of despair For this lost cause once had a chance A chance which was built on trust Shades of white lifting him now Waiting for death, free his captured soul Shades of white, lifting him now Its time to leave its time to die When he closes his eyes Waiting for death Falling down A silloette of angels Lifting him now A new sensation Falling down

Its fair to say that we have failed blame stops here but leaves a trail A euphoric vision so maliciously twisted He was fighting for the cause now he's fallen by the sword beyond your understanding time stands still Look now your hands are weak Pathetic creature you created this A self-destructive existence without logic So expected this ending is sick You are standing on those close to you As you try to compute the sum of all fears Our kind has flaws in every way Time has given us nothing today And now we suffer to balance the equation What happened inside those eyes A perfect world collapsed and died A stranger to reality no defences What just happened? Why did you destroy the day? What went wrong? Was silence the only way? Was this the only way? Genocide, starvation And another soldier falls today Holocaust? a terrorist? Still mindless violence Due to human nature Take their freedom, and take their will Then you gain control right at your fingers Lose the power and you cannot kill but the next one standing takes control With death the only way

He's been cheated again For this boy's done nothing wrong Deceived again For he has been trying so long This time its fate you has made a man His world starting to decay He's feeling the fever of been told its no more The small boy disappears before his eyes He's trying not to look back But I can't imagine a future without me He's trying not to look back Living life as an eternity He's feeling the fever of been told its no more You tried me so many times You failed me so many times Surprised me so many times You killed me so many times This young boy's done nothing wrong He's been cheated again Deceived again he's nothing to blame The fight is no more and his vision is grey Against the odds, an opening mind before your eyes thrown back in time he's been trying for so long this time it's fate that has made a man

Light fades And the mind begins to change Eyes sink The void to begin a new day Dreaming of the heavens Your body takes your mind To unimaginable places Skipping forward in time Your lifelong ambition Your constant thought patterns end The reason you lived (And the reason you died) The reason why you were sent: Is the image you see So perfectly real So perfectly flawed Is the face you see so young? twisted visions inside Is the face you see a complete utter fantasy? Breathe deep For this is your last breath Now sleep This dream will help you mend A moment of closure Your lips form a smile Living in vein Now a forgotten cry Are the eyes you've seen; are they crying? Been in misery? are they dead? Can you ever say they were yours? In the life you lived Just hold onto the beauty Hold onto the thought The beauty which you felt Was the desire you lost Your happiness for a moment Is all that you did ask You received it leaving this world Departure worth the Earth Is the image you see So perfectly real? Or is it perfectly flawed? Is the image you see? So perfectly real? Or is it just a dream? complete fantasy

This track is instrumental.
Stalking! out of the shadows No face yet I sense the power A city in which my feet feel cold Where dreams come to die Walking through this landscape It seems disturbingly familiar But still I feel lost This path I can no longer trust Precious wind and calming rain Will you sooth my mind again? Take those thoughts that swell my eyes And throw them back at those dam lies Leaves fall in a vicious rage Stirs up dust which blinds my eyes Losing count of my age Given up on trying A bridge into the forest That tunnels into the ground Dissolves into a liquid state And sinks into my mind To look at the stars When lightning strikes Pierce my eyes God it burns! To look at the stars At the edge of time When lightning strikes God it burns! Moonlight flickers I hear my name But it's just a mirror Driving me insane Years roll on What is this purpose? The destiny of this landscape Will be shrouded in darkness Back in the fold Welcome home I'm alive
