Undying
Album • 2003
Ashes to ashes, forever we fall down With broken dreams we’re blind to see What twisted words they tell In a sky that’s without stars tonight Where Nightmares grow so real How far we fall, forever lost in broken concrete fields. In a world that grinds so ceaselessly Where the wheels of culture turn. Where machines of hate speak hideously And heaven’s brightness burns Offered up the fruits of slavery Sown – the poisonous seeds of forgetting Grow choking vines like bitter tragedies And piercing thorns unseen. And so runs the world away On scriptured lies The ash of memory And so we fall away On scriptured lies The ash of memory. In the withered tongues of love we’ll speak Our whispehidden heresies Ten thousand years of bondage And their cultures black disease May this bloodstained tale come to an end Blessed are we who without hope at history’s end And we have buried what we have known of love Come hollow eyes and unseen thoughts and brutal selfishness And these scars of hate will never heal These wounds that do bleed dry Our mother earth condemned to die alone and she does cry As we have grown deaf to the ceaseless roar Of paradise burning forevermore Choked with ash those dreams within us Are waiting to be born Let us speak of god Let us speak of pain Let us speak of suffering, sin and hate Shut tight our eyes to their hollow lies In this broken land of the dead May silver tongue screams fall upon deaf ears May the rivers of heaven run red

Into the shadows of life to which we’ve been driven In the ruins of Eden to which we have come Under bleeding skies still writhes this tortured land And this world without end stands forsaken And we forget, have we gone so wrong? That onward we march, lost and enslaved to their culture’s carrion song The truth in the silences goes unheard, as we drown in their hideous faith For they’ve built up their temples to slavery, and the stench of deceit suffocates Through this night which we crawl For there is always further to fall Their rust scarred cities stand To mark the graves below The poisoned skies they weep For their fates are cast in stone The oceans boiling black upon the shores Of this bloodstained waste landscape That burns forevermore And they step blind through this fever mad dance In the last days of Eden which have come at last And they’ve traded cheap the world and her love For keys to the kingdom of filth above (their cold kisses taste of blood and despair) But we may surrender humanity’s shame Reborn from the ashes of our world in flames Burn, burn with the fires of change Tear down their culture of conquest and greed With unblended eyes a new dawn to greet And cast off the weight of humanity’s sin For a new day is born at their history’s end

May the price of your heaven be this hell… So we wander through all that is Born up from shadows and lies And everything that I have not Is stained black with the blood of the blind Whether chains of enslavement in silver Or the glitter of the gilded cage Are no less the bars between us And our dreams as we march to the grave In the horrors that breathe, of all that will be Let us fear not the lies that they speak Lest we are condemned to die on our knees As dusk descends so all this must end Let us lift up our hearts and become The nameless damned, will you join the dance? Of their culture’s poisonous song Let night begin, the winds whisper in The echoing absence surrounds To claim the means to sever the strings To the myths to which we are bound So we reach for the stars above us For tomorrow may never come And everything that I am not Is the price of this world come undone We are washed of the sins of the fathers In the tears of the wounded and lost And if we are the last of the loving May their empires crumble to dust If our hearts must weep for that should be Let us fear not the worlds, which we seek If all this must end then mourn not the ruins beneath The names of the dead, whispered in tongues Voices lie still, songs left unsung Bury these words in ashes and blood For here lie the worlds of dreamers; Uncharted, decayed – unloved If our hearts must break and we bear the scars Then blind us in darkness to blot out the stars And carve our tomorrows in the flesh of the past So tear off this veil of humanity, Surrender our pain at last.

Burn this path that we tread, blindly whatever the cost In this savage game of conquest our sacred world is lost We stand outside the circle of life and worship our myths held so right While our foundations crumble beneath us, for they are woven with lies We die, with each passing breath We watch the collapse of all that is left The barren fields of plenty stand bitter testament To mark the steps of progress written in this world’s distress And we’re led astray And we are enslaved The lies that we are told And learn to tell, body and soul So drown the fires of life with this blood we have shed As we enact this deadly dance, and bound by our culture we’re led In this march of the damned, and do we stand a chance? To unlearn the tales of this culture, to rewrite the myths of man For we bear the shame, of this brutal reign Of domination and conquest and pain From birth we are blind, and no hour slips by Without the whispers of our mother culture, Her vision and her lies And can we survive? With this way of life For we must deny this suffering, this sickness and this strife Close your eyes…to their visions we are blind And I will turn my back on this charade A newfound worldview to light this path Through these darkest days And burn these bridges we have lain To fill the darkness with the voices of freedom, regained

As she chokes on the lies of the fathers And their lust to degrade and enslave How long must we wait in the silence? While these quiet atrocities build Condemned by their faith to honor, obey In this nightmare of dreams unfulfilled To walk in the shadow of violence Through the visions and words that surround Taught by these lies that dehumanize And debase and degrade as she drowns And the words that we speak offer justice While the crimes of the sons cast aside Beneath the weights as she suffocates In this curse of the flesh we divide Devoured by eyes without mercy Stripped of her worth by their fear The rituals of hate and beauty betrayed Surrendered to sorrow and tears Each silent shame endured in disgrace does deliver us unto this hell May the world be her witness, to hymns of the fathers she fell (and the dance of the dead in this hell…) Never to rise from the silence So deliver us up from ourselves The world be our witness To a new day of freedom The lies of this culture, The bonds of oppression: revealed The night falls fast so shut your eyes In this reign of hearts enslaved…we die We’re offered up body and soul And nameless violations untold In the hours adrift in despair Your whispering cold embrace As Eve crowned in sorrow laid bare Breathes suffering like sacrifice And each breath of shame And each stare degrades For every word borne in disgrace In this culture of hate When defiance is all that remains
This track is instrumental.
Lost to stagnant waters of apathy That have been flooded by ignorance The spirit of revolution, of change, of cause Suffering silently, cast aside and forgotten Hungers for a better day And are we dead within these cages we are sold? So close your eyes, pretend to dream as you grow cold This culture has been crippled by the emptiness of life lived With nothing and no one to die for In this darkness so thick with no hint of light We cling to the promises of science and technology All the wonderwork modern miracles leading us Always and all ways To one ancient vision, one way to live And we submit, ruled by the lies we have been told So lift your head, pretend to feel as you grow cold What are we waiting for? In the comfort of naivety What are we living for? Awaiting the death that silence brings what can we offer this world in which we have taken more than our share? And all that we give, all we will spare Is a festering greed for that which was never ours and always what to not-see, what to not-hear what to do and how to live Clenched fingers numb and weary White-knuckled and gripping tight To who we are, what we are, no more and no less Hopelessly satisfied with the filth we have created Never striving for anything beyond mere survival Yet surprised by these feelings of loss Thirsting for something more than this life But unwilling to make it our own Patient we wait for that last fleeting breath Unfulfilled, unknown But I will not stand by I will not stand by

Born and enslaved to this modern age Where blood stains each step of this path we have paved And what price our reign? At what cost their fate? In this night unending when dawn comes too late For each life that’s stolen and each cry unheard For our lust that’s written in scars on this Earth The lies which they teach, with forked-tongues they speak Of this world created to conquer, to rule their greed Are we corrupted by their greed? Infected, decayed; corrupt with deceit In this days of madness where misery reigns When all hope is abandoned in promise of pain And never a light from the darkness of hate They hunger for death, their bodies as graves our corrupted memory dies to see through compassion’s eyes Lives consumed, flesh abused, tortured existence, encaged, entombed Freedom lost, bodies marred, eternal hell, life behind bars Their traditions die, as we fall no longer With this reverence for life, we will fall no longer In this world of the desperate and lost cast in filth Compassion condemned in this nightmare fulfilled The blind and their faith, to empty skies pray The road to their heaven and god paved with rape The hidden years have ended The age of grace begun The starving sound of fire, as heaven and Earth collide Cast off like skin this suffering, on broken knees to rise To sift through bitter ashes, to bleed like sacrifice Our hearts forever burning, to breathe with newfound life
