Obsidian

My pulse shall race My vision now distorted Her halo wreathed in fire As I feel her heat upon me Her skin is flame Radiating through the vortex I'm not of my own mind It's in our nature Conceal the scars of failure Wallow in the realms of agony All you have, all you are is suffering Now burn into me with eyes of fire Delilah Know that I would kill to lie beside her Delilah She manifests on every face I see Her essence lingers in the air I breathe She is the bringer of the rains A living hurricane That courses through my veins Kneel at her altar My penitence now rewarded How I yearn to be inside her To feel our flesh contorting As she devours me She sees beneath my skin I'm not of my own mind It's in our nature Conceal the scars of failure Wallow in the realms of agony All you have, all you are is suffering Now burn into me with eyes of fire Delilah Know that I would kill to lie beside her Delilah I can no longer see The man I used to be The darkest secrets of my life They now belong to her I'm not of my own mind The world bears down on me I try to bear the weight I lay down at your feet My life is yours to redeem

There is something to be said about resilience The more it hurts, the greater the resistance But I can't shake the fear in my subconscious Everything you are is toxic, I close my eyes I dread the torment of the war yet to come, I'm paralysed Visions of demons tearing down the walls around my heart (Run) There's no place better for these things that I hide Than in the darkest reaches of my fragile mind And when the nightmares return You will have nowhere to run Ire Black void, you're singing to me, it's so easy Hypnotise me as you render my mind weak Suffering in an anchored state, regression Pulling me into depression, I close my eyes A flame chain on my lungs, it burns me from the inside I'm paralysed My eyes fade into the blistering fire (Run) A haze I forever desire Mind abort me from this callous husk I'm sick of lying awake at night, seething Made my home in a world of collisions All the things that I feared came to being A victim of my own visions The taste was sweet and the route was certain Now it's treacherous and twisted There is no real course of action now to take But forget you were there, forget you existed You fucking fail me Ire Bearing down on me Ire End this misery And when the nightmares return You will have nowhere to run Ire, ire And now it's finally done You aren't a friend of mine, no friend to anyone This has taken too much, more than I can allow It's hard to feel elation with all that weight on your brow And now you're finally done A danger to yourself, a ticking time bomb It's no surprise your life is fucking heading south It's hard to smell the roses with all that shit in your mouth

An endless cycle of perpetual decay A waking nightmare that will never cease to end Forever spiraling into your darkest days Now drink to misery Your never- ending thirst Betrayal won’t be forgiven This is hell we live in Disintegration of love and nurture A flagrant violation Ashamed This heart is rusting A hateful creature thrown into chaos Betrayed We abandon the light Paralysed by the horror Now the blind lead the blind Like the lamb to the slaughter One taste of power and you’ll savour the game And you’ll deny your heart to justify the pain A hatred so misplaced A mask to hide your face I’ll cry for you no more behind the iron doors Red soil Betrayal won’t be forgiven Red soil This is hell we live in Sins of the father Gift to the son One day you’ll return I will wait We abandon the light Paralysed by the horror Now the blind lead the blind Like the lamb to the slaughter

Carpe noctem Carpe noctem A state of inner rage No signs of finishing When all the years of ardor grind a will diminishing The many moments of elation fading from your sight The clarity of isolation truly terrifies Every empire falls in the end It's just a matter of when Every empire falls in the end We are marked for death Carpe noctem Seize the night Carpe noctem While you still can Count your blessings, not your curses, I heard someone say But we had each other More than we have today Carpe noctem Seize the night Carpe noctem While you still can What is for you won't go by you, I heard someone say But we had it all To throw it all away Weary eyes never lie Reflecting suffering As lengthy shadows grow around an aura withering The years were never kind but now they are bereft of light The memories of ecstasy no longer in your mind If this is what the price is I will gladly pay it If this is how you feel Then go ahead and say it I'd savour victory but I don't like the taste Playing with precious time I can't afford to waste Carpe noctem Carpe noctem Carpe noctem Carpe noctem Carpe noctem Seize the night Carpe noctem While you still can Count your blessings, not your curses, I heard someone say But we had each other More than we have today Carpe noctem Seize the night Carpe noctem While you still can What is for you won't go by you, I heard someone say But we had it all To throw it all away

I won't spend another day trying To put the flames out on the bridges That you chose to set alight I never wanted any of this Exposed yourself as a liar You balance on a precipice Initiate the corruption Poison the well ever so gradually Slowly mutate the perception Changing the way everyone looks at me Is this the life you really want to lead? I won't let you in And now you slip away A shallow penitence Too little too late You'll never know your worth No more lies A different side of you for everyone There is love inside this broken heart But these blood soaked hands are stained They belong to the Devil Affliction I won't spend another day trying To put the flames out on the bridges That you chose to set alight I never wanted any of this You made yourself a pariah Now you're running from your memories But run in which direction? Reflecting hatred of the world on me Antagonise an eruption Here is the tyrant now for all to see That's the reaction that you want from me I won't let you win All love is lost And now you slip away And now you slip away A shallow penitence Too little too late You'll never know your worth No more lies A different side of you for everyone There is love inside this broken heart But these blood soaked hands are stained They belong to the Devil Affliction

And with a changing tide A moment to reflect A broken crown bearing down Upon a weary head Look in his eyes, you'll see A lifetime of regret The signs of stress The emptiness The lack of self-respect With a treacherous kiss Decimate what's left of a lifetime's legacy As a silent poison works its way toward the heart With the deepest malice Pull the trigger on the gun that's known to never fail Roles are clear and chosen To be a hammer or a nail Know what you are Let the drowning man swim This is a war that he will never win But when the dust clears There'll be nothing left for you to fuck with But now he's slowly sinking Oh, now he's slowly sinking Like an anchor to the depths The drowning man With desire to protect A tired man broken down Now full of fear and dread And in his eyes he'll be A shadow of himself A broken tusk A hollow husk Crying out for death With a treacherous kiss Decimate what's left of a lifetime's legacy As a silent poison works its way toward the heart With the deepest malice Pull the trigger on the gun that's known to never fail Roles are clear and chosen To be a hammer or a nail Know what you are Know what you are Let the drowning man swim This is a war that he will never win But when the dust clears There'll be nothing left for you to fuck with (But now he's slowly sinking Oh, now he's slowly sinking) Now let the drowning man swim (Like an anchor to the depths) This is a war that he will never win (But now he's slowly sinking Oh, now he's slowly sinking Like an anchor to the depths) But when the dust clears There'll be nothing left for you to fuck with Know what you are But now he's slowly sinking Oh, now he's slowly sinking Like an anchor to the depths The drowning man

Horror, cataclysmic self-infliction Look upon the aftermath and cower in despair Your words have become a weapon Fabricating hell from heaven Your moral compass is but one of contradiction A snake can shed its skin but still remains a snake A blackened seed planted so carelessly The truth can be distorted but still remains the same Everything about this is wrong I found myself frantically searching For something that was never there With the rejection I was forced to react So I never looked back, I'm counting on that Your actions bring only dishonour Your cowardice nothing but shame The world in your hands, your head in the sand I bury your love with your name Obsidian tide Carry me away Into the endless night Obsidian tide Carry me away Onto a better life Obsidian tide Horror, spreading lies and defecation Your fragile wings were never meant to give you flight Abuse and degradation, far beyond imagination Now we've come undone, what have I become? I'm dangerous The very thing that stands to define a parasite Is its failure to survive without a host The very life you had but never really chose to see Is the thing your heart craves the most Obsidian tide Carry me away Into the endless night Obsidian tide Carry me away Onto a better life Obsidian tide

Silence Can have so much to say No escape when the truth is replaced by Silence It can be deafening Words are twisted into shape I'm afraid of silence And like a worm on my belly, I will crawl Finding a family in the shadows on the wall Bearing down upon you Earth trembles under your feet Eradication is complete And we move on And there's no peace for you (A world of violence) This is the path that we walk And there's no sleep for you (Suffer in silence) This is the nightmare we are Silence It greets me every day There's no escape when the voices are replaced by Silence It can be threatening When I think of time replaced I'm afraid of silence And like a worm on my belly, I will crawl Finding a family in the shadows on the wall Look what we were What we did Where the damage was done Look what we had What we lost What we could have become And like a worm on my belly, I will crawl Finding a family in the shadows on the wall And like a worm on my belly, I will crawl Finding a family in the shadows on the wall And we move on And there's no peace for you (A world of violence) This is the path that we walk And there's no sleep for you (Suffer in silence) This is the nightmare we are Silence Silence Silence
