L'appel du vide

Facing a withered, splintered line The empty vessel is born Fragments dissolve and redefine Thos parasite breathing life within me Shadows destroy the light And knowingly shape themselves They criticize all of my darkest fears Of past woes left behind Illusive words Ignite the fires of despair Refuse the truth untold And remedy fear The darkness that surrounds us Cannot hurt us It is the darkness in your heart You should fear Drawing closer to the vivid now A veil of ruin now ablaze Broken and weary Thoughts will deceive you Time and time again We’re all still falling through this place And I can’t find serenity Lucidity dwells within me I now sanctify my suffering Abandon my fear Ignite the fires of despair Glory adorned No longer weaken

Within the mist, envenomed waters Beyond her will, in desolate darkness Crimson lines around her shadow The final dirge from glass into ashes…. In peril lies porcelain painted in crimson No soul can hear the cries That drift through the mire So take one more shallow breath For it shall be your last The abyss awaits in silence And I will taunt you Till you bore me No one can tame the beast within And I will hurt you If you let me close enough to crawl my way into your skin. I am the shadow cast in the moonlight. I am the shiver that runs down your spine I am the nightmare that keeps you from sleep but you let me in

Maybe I have come to see the light Beneath the bludgeoning Lies a truth I cannot hide Within this darkness calls And I wait for one to find The key that sets me free The hurt inside you is a rumour With one caress your walls fall down There is no fear here only freedom My voice will guide you if you listen … If you listen For years I’ve tried to find a cure here But still she comes to me at night Confounded lovers blind intentions These fading memories haunt me still Coiled… As passion devoured by flame Winter has martyred his heart Lifeless and cannot be saved Tearing purity apart Desolation now remains Transgressions of once was bound Her scenery turning to grey As sorrow is all that is found Lamenting in mirthless sorrow As your voice draws me near This requiem will not relent In the years since you’ve passed Echoes of your cries still torture me And I can still hear your screams Maybe I have failed to see the plight As those around me fold Within this reckoning Stands a creature from my past Still waiting to be saved Disenchanted remain

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Judgments arise A mindless callow hatred desecrates all life A prison of flesh A paradox of meaning echoes through our minds And I close my eyes Instead of witnessing the failures of mankind We have not learned A new day brings another promise unfulfilled. Betrayed by loss Corruption settles in my conscience like frost Distorting my sight There is nothing that can ease my jaded mind…. Hide… as your lies coming crashing down But I will care no longer now

Beneath a veil of false smiles and laughter The pain creeps in So I put on a mask to conceal the magnitude of losing you But in every spare moment My thoughts return to you So I have no choice but to…. Embrace the mayhem Vanquish the darkness Your only enemy is your own mind I can no longer hear your footsteps So I must wander this path alone Still I cling to your cold remains As the greatest part of me is slipping away In every spare moment my thoughts return to you ‘cos in my mind you are still alive Let me keep my sweet delusions I’ve saved you so many times before But this time it’s different Can’t rescue you from the rain that passes through the soil And as it breaks down your body Soon you’ll be nothing more Than brittle bones beneath the ground In every spare moment my thoughts return to you

Fear…. An ominous darkness Within the still of silence, in virtue paradise beckons Loss…. Into the heart of all ruin The unsung awakening, yearning… devoured frailty Cold… Staring eyes Formless… The weakening structure A shadows reflection within my disdain A myriad of voices are one in the same Fall into embers, a weakening will The sorrow and rapture The inner light has died… I’ve tried to salvage all the pieces of what you left behind And now I can’t recognize myself anymore Severing the strings to life All the glory and the suffering The beauty of what is left behind Lost, the memories wash over my eyes And I slowly fade…. Into dreams beyond life

Vain glorious, world is your own now No longer affected.. As you reach for the dream, that is the way of flesh Promises hallowed With each passing moment, the breath is more shallow The outside fades away Grasping the past, remoted ignorance The splendor fades away Emptiness Now a shell Seed of demise Suffering Disillusion A tainted divide From homage to absence Into obscurity Slaves dance on Into the sound of nothing
