The Winter of Our Discontent

Within the stench of the burning air Comes the conclusion of having gone too far Fading away is the concept of terror To withdraw from the human mind forever Beyond forgiveness - Reflecting distortion Absolute silence - No need for remorse Gathering darkness will shelter my soul Returning to origin - Man's own black hole Decades of errors were filled with selfish torment Decades of horror as the continents were burning Insanity is hidden under above's holy grace It forces the mighty for the weak ones to trace All laughter and sorrow is sure to be vanished Now there's space after everyone is punished In my consciousness deep feelings of shame Will I take them with me forever to remain? Beyond forgiveness - Twisting expulsion Absolute silence - Too late for remorse Gathering darkness is spreading out cold Returning to origin - Man's own black hole.

The terrible noise of machine-gun fire Destroys the arctic silence A new generation of high-tech assassins Follows the footsteps of their ancestors Stranded to kill without remorse Cruel slaughter goes on This world has been haunted uncountless times Our history of bloodshed does proof The end has come through a burst of storms We're damned to extinction, the guilty will burn Existence is worthless on our march into doom Man's fate was buried long ago Driven by a martial, perverted desire The individual doesn't belong here anymore The environmental overkill has reached a new dimension Through the last pale century The crusade leads to the final entombment Nothing will be forgiven Mankind drifts into the forthcoming chaos Unknown of the horrible truth The abolished instincts gather strength And invert the civilisation The balance of power is lost Without prospect to hide the default Under the sentence of death We'll welcome the funeral exhaustion...

While walking through the corridors of power Beware of delusions that only drag you down You serve a system built on intrigues and cheat Maybe there's no way to escape your own defeat Can you still see the shape of the enemy? As you sink deeper and deeper in sin and misery you wished for a shining return of the empire Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire? The omens were there - you failed to see New allies add to the list of fatalities Unable to recognize you're just a part of something greater A new age is coming, hard to accept your role as a puppet Can you still see the shape of the enemy? Your shame goes hand in hand with sin and misery Glory you wanted, for a conquering empire Fate has not decided yet, will it all end in fire? Why is there a monster on the throne? You put it there, now terror of silence reigns all alone May this loneliness fade away from your personal dome Sometimes even shadows can guide us the way home... Can you still see the shape of the enemy? As you sink deeper and deeper in sin and misery Pain is all you received for the beloved empire Fate has not decided yet, will it all ends in fire?

The emanation of destruction goes on Fortune is buried under walls What is left behind our lives Are the ruins of a global starvation The result of a deadly ecology Reverses the order of things Nothing will prevent the age of chaos And the premonition won't be heard Warzones - Under a burning sun Warzones - The recapture of nature begins The recreant still try to ignore The forthcoming downfall of a crumbling earth Oceans filled with blackened poison Now rivers of blood run cold Ashes bombard the hallowed ground Detonations burn the dirty air Apocalypse progress towards completion Unloaded dustraids through awesome fires Warzones - Under a burning sun Warzones - Fall into the flames of anguish Within the everlasting silence The dreadful claims for the crown When anything that had ever existed Lies trembling on the burned ground...

Fragments of the past are covered by the sands of time Innocence is lost again, the path of peace is left behind Distorted, enraged voices they vanished from all our twisted minds Are these decades of fear and hate the answer to our own seclusion? The written word has turned to dust only to rise again Now the great eclipse is here and falls over the cold wasteland Segments of the future are hidden by the clouds of shame We've followed absurd dreams, be sure that you're awake now Distorted, enraged voices Are never to be heard around here no more.

Follow the journey up the stream of madness Enter a world of misty and unbalanced tragic Leave behind your certain, miserable existence And sagacity will greet you in the cruellest of forms Witness the jungle fall to pieces Man's mind is lacerated and disintegrated Discord with one's inner self Leads to extreme defence mechanisms Out here the hunger for divinity dwells It's so "goddamn" easy to get carried away Reciting poems of a twisted, worn out mind While the dissolution crawls up all of their awaiting necks Witness the apocalypse here and now The stench of decay is already filling the air Discord with one's inner self Leads to devastation of silent resistance Devastation of silent resistance Devastation of silent resistance Follow the journey up the stream of madness Enter a world of misty and unbalanced tragic Leave behind your certain, miserable existence And sagacity will greet you in the cruellest of forms.

We carry the disguised gift throughout the centuries Leaving behind a trail of tears and shame Through decaying souls that long for flesh and youth We're bound to stare into the abyss of our minds They are importers for all times Gone now, amused by our struggle They were strategic leaders And I can see their grinning faces Some fools they were to charish us with such novelty Or were they masters of invention, imposers for all times? It's too late to lay it down, this instrument of danger Used in (the) dark ages; can you hear their distant laughter? On the turn of another era, will it be our last? And if it's so, you can be sure that they've done their best Some day the race of leeches will only be a memory With all its arrogance, wiped out for good, wouldn't you agree?

Welcome to the new age of terror Hatred's here like you've never seen before The madness has settled over to stay What we can't stand, we kill anything that's in our way Decadence defines the existent chaos Trapped are we with ruthless servants The image in the mirror is weakened Watch as life in every form is cheapened Emotions are frozen in the blink of an eye The sky has to burn, I forgot the reason why... My memories are fading, what started this insanity? Walk with me through the forest of morality We've passed the chapter of chaos just this second Silence outside - I'd like to dwell in this moment When emptiness is your longtime companion You lose yourself in everlasting oblivion...

A whispering wind blows mournful over the scorched plains Unnoticed by the ignorant masses the end has begun Will the praised new leader be as foolish as his precursor And will he gather total mischief around him to spread out? Let this winter of our discontent be over Finish the cruelty and embrace another day will we stay or are we condemned to fall? A long awaited decision is about to be pronounced Fate has been stressed for an awful long time The judge of dusk stays back in preposterous rapture He nourishes himself from solitude he likes to share The whispering wind swells to a grinding roar For the final battle they start to prepare All hopes are torn apart by grim morbidity The path to "hell" is paved with so many bad intentions The winter of our discontent will never be over Embrace the cruelty, let this be the last day I want to fall, and you will too...
