Worn

This silence has tied me up so tight that I can't breathe The night will pass away before I dare to fall asleep Within this tranquil darkness I dread to close my eyes The stars so cold upon me shine from pitch-black sky I know what's beyond there The astral secrets reveal to me The darkness rising, devouring this wretched earth My soul is sinking into the timeless void I fear to watch the calmness of the moonlit sea For I know what waits under that deceptive serenity I shiver to think the silent hills after sundown The blackness so vast upon me, heavy on my mind A vision of sheer terror right before my eyes Travelling through the aeons till the end of time A glimpse of something that was meant to be concealed It's a dream I won't wake up from, turned to reality I've seen what lies ahead The mysteries revealed as night prevails The darkness rising, devouring my wretched mind My soul is screaming for final relief.

...Gently blows the wind, and the ashes fly So the dead cover those who yet have to die And when the last embers flicker away Maybe the new dawn will show the way (or lead me astray...) Right from the start inviable and shallow A fucking scarecrow, no path to follow In this cold caress I've grown to live and breathe All my memories they seem to twist and fade away What was my kingdom has turned to lead me to my grave Now all the wrath is gone and there ate no more words to say Time, embrace me now (embrace to set me free) And in a moment you are gone (gone to give me peace) In my world it all has turned to grey so long ago I'm only what I despise and for now that's all I know "Scenes from a mutilated memory, life torn apart, years of shame, crippled love, anxiety, frustration, suffocated will - I've been born to wrong reality..." Set me free, flow away (flow away to cease the pain) for this worn out lump no more wants here to stay.

The wind sombrely sighs your name in the trees The waves whisper of the love long since gone As I hearken to them, my loneliness grows ever bitter Evanescent are the moments of joy in this world [chorus] Each night when I close my eyes I see you again You take my hand and together we'll fly away (and reach for the stars...) But in the end your imago begins to wane So every time my fate is one and the same (you are drifting away...) A lifetime of pain and regret reserved for me Just unfulfilled dreams for the rest of my years I still believe that we were meant to be one Each dawn I die again when I know you are gone (and I've been torn apart...) "If a dragonfly dances too close to a candle it will burn", you said My imminence, my burning flame made you leave? But isn't it so that one must cut the wings of love so it won't fly away? [Chorus] All my life, all my life I've been destined ti wander in shades All these tears, all these tears I've cried in vain for you to return And this pain, and this heart-rending pain is all I have left of you How I've loved, how I've loved you more than gods could dream If only, even for once, I could see your face...again...

The soil I'm lying on is cooling down with the vanishing daylight And bitter are these tears in my eyes They're slowly flowing down my cheek like glowing pearls But those pearls are for the swine The mind behind this weak body tries to isolate Not willing to crystallize the reasons for my grief I try to figure out how I came to this state Where all the paths lead me just further from the light Time flows on like a stream and passes the dead of the night But it just pushes me further from delight I feel my life sinking far too deep When this self-deception won't let me fall asleep The sky breathes black but still it shines Like a halo upon my mental darkness I'm bleak, cold and blond as the lack of will makes the waves roll in... Here I ride again on these waves of misery I'm all but sane as I close my eyes and try to see the stars, which shine no light.

...Weight ascending on the scale of sins, the price we all must pay Rendering accounts in cold blood, no compassion for today!!!

Light of saving grace - glowing dawn at the end of our world The morning sun will rise as soon as mankind dies Our last and final chapter is soon to be closed (relief)... Wandering pale, our presence here in vain Tomorrow's gone and our lives scattered in yesterdays The shades are closing in, heart of this earth now bleeds Last lights flickering, our journeys turned to shadow chasing All things bee said and done, this road has come to an end And this is the road wew can't walk back and start all over again What was pure is stained in dirt, all fragile torn to dust This supreme king of all the living sits on the bough he cuts This place without meaning, these times without a reason Only little men with their little lives, little deeds in their little minds Once so proud standing tall, we walked this earth so strong Now we just born, waste and die for our good times have passed by.

Crawling clouds hide the moon staining silver on the waves Like a swarm of blowflies darkness slowly spreads throughout They're coming back again this time with a width of horizon Mourning will come to an end, morning will never draw again Burden grates the bones like fire licking naked skin Like the memories fuel the flame of burning pain inside Time is ripe, unlock the doors to tiny, hidden room inside Let the demons walk in, let the graves of time be sealed ...And whole earth falls asleep Once abundant stream, now dries way... (This is my legacy, written with razors to my flesh my heart is buried, my soul dwells in sin I belong to the abyss, and I fall with joy for there was time when I walked among you all...) Why won't this nightmare never end After every funeral morbid season come again I can't know if there was life outside anymore As this winter within ripped my heart out and cut my soul in two There is a point when every streaming stops, the Oceans calms Like a swarm of darkness blowflies slowly start their feast Long and surreal journey this has been, and I know this is the last Mourning will never end, morning will never draw again.

Another daybreak, naked and freezing inside Cobalt blue flame burns in empty, tired, jaded eyes Slowly morning sun lights the fire burning again And horizon drops with poison rd as blood of time Walking down the street- a trail stained by other bastard- Sons Mother-Earth turns a blind eye, I choose my path again This season we called winter has abandoned me Filth flows on ground, the river runs with ease Same war is lost every day, depression claims it's ground Town swarm with people, could I be more alone? No!!! Wind whips these walls of stone Time is still as she is gone Long days of winter drawn in line Only a trace of waste I try to leave behind Cold sky lies shattered and all the fractures fall on me Body roams alone as mind is wandering north Heavy clouds hang low just to keep me company A burden I don't want to bear, yearning season's here Shadows call me again...

In a moment of a nightfall, threshold of a storm Overture fades and the shades grow deep All alone, forced to witness same play every day Ground moans in black, newborn leaves fall and decay For so long neither the wind has blown Nor the sun shone to dry the pus in my wounds Gradually spirit of our age dissipates Dead emotions can't replace frustration and disgrace From the cradle to the grave Dancing in dark, atonal haze Helical path leading downwards... Maybe its time for us to leave Helter shelter we achieved Failed creation of our symphony... And then the pain strikes again... Drawing last poison breath, as the rain falls Our creations of violence, now the drain calls All our time spent to solve this mount of troubles The more I try I dissolve to all fading Gray.
