Aphonic Threnody
A Silence Too Old
1. Annabelle
I swore to myself no one would change me into a heartless beast, no deceptions, losses, pain
But now that you left me
I have become that beast
Annabelle
I miss your embrace
Annabelle
More than life itself
And the fire In which we danced
Is now ashes with which I draw my death
Lord, why did you have to steal her from me?
Everything she was was in your name, above mine
Devotion and righteousness
An eternal flame
From which the embers still burn my soul
Still burn my soul
I can't take this sorrow when she was the cure
Our home is now grey, sullen, insecure
I wander, empty, like a ghost who lost the way
No light can shine as bright as the words she said
Our home is gone
The way is shut
My life is done
My joy is cut
The time is nigh
Drown in the night
The sins I'd do to get her back
The thoughts of them alone are a knife in her back
But it's too much, too much emptiness in my heart
In my soul, in my home, everywhere she was
I would rip the heavens apart for a glance
I would tear the depths of hell for a dance
Luminous eyes, crying molten lava
Mouth speaking in tongues and larvae
It's too late to go back
Hell is here on earth, I am its swords
I am the punisher of Gods, mark my words
2. Light the Way
The flesh removed
The iris shivering
Catatonic corpse, pain
Drifting in the void, in a maelstrom of pain
A feeling is born, the line that links the insane
Through the ordeal, a light sparkled from nothingness
Suffering through zeal, imperfection at its best
Shine from the dark you've come from
Grasp the light in the somber foam
Light the way to the ones incomplete
Absorb the doubts, the nerves, the deceit
Elevate your pain higher for your soul to rise
Darken your heart even more than others can do
Can't you see the endless path?
Infinity and beyond known dimensions?
Walking on the weight of years
Death being just a glimpse
Stars lighting the way to the stairs of eternity
Staring at the darkness around falling at my feet
Shine from the dark you've come from
Grasp the light in the somber foam
Light the way to the ones incomplete
Absorb the doubts, the nerves, the deceit
The endless path is right in front of me
Infinity and beyond known dimensions
No more weight of years
No more death
3. A Silence Too Old
Awaiting the fall, crystals in the eyes
Writing the last song before I say goodbye
I've drowned too much in the waters of my tears
Supposed to be the strongest of my tier
Too many battles fought, victories are now sour
Always standing, never yielding, never surrender
Capitulating, the strenght fading
Cornered, my arms are weakening
And the sword, the only friend I know
Is too heavy to bear for the unknown
Constant was my faith, immuable was my devotion
Tell me, where is the deity loving murderous actions
With so much blood on my honor, on my hands
What am I, what have I done to the time's sands?
Capitulating, the strenght fading
Cornered, my arms are weakening
And the sword, the only friend I know
Is too heavy to bear for the unknown
Hypnotizing visions of freedom
Colours flying, everything above
The flutter of daziness embalms me
I stutter, I mutter, I fall
Revenge on the Sun
Icarus avenged
A silence too old
Which is cut with a blade
4. Further On
On and on, again and again,
The reach is a horrible illusion, but not the fall
A glimpse of hope is a parasite on my landscape
On and on, further on, I am walking to my fate
Faith is an unbelievable ember which clings on life
Like a possible cut to be made with a broken scythe
The sun is low and shall never rise up another time
On and on, further on, I am walking on the line
Faith is an unbelievable ember which clings on life
Like a possible cut to be made with a broken scythe
On and on, further on, I am falling to nowhere
On and on, bleeding on, on the further I lay
On and on, life is gone, I am caught by the tides
On and on, further on, embracing cold suicide
Further on
5. Oath of Nothing
A frozen gate opens to me as I stand in the snow
The end of the line, the final path to walk
A fierce warrior awaits me for a final battle
A long time duty, but such a dark score to settle
How it all changed
The flame in my eyes is fading away
The flame in my eyes is fading away
The gate now closed, I see my enemy's fatigued face
Older then I remember, I can forget time and its pace
One could feel the struggle to simply stand
The armor's heavy to wear on such unholy land
How it all changed
The flame in my eyes is fading away
The flame in my eyes is fading away
I realized that the ages did not spare me well
My sword is a burden, all the steel is just a veil
For another useless duel in the honor of no one
As meaningless as can be the life of anyone
This is a farce, old friend. Where are we, now
In this desolate wasteland, no one will see us bow
6. The Void of Existence
Dreaming a simpler life, dreaming of a way to escape of it all
Wielding a lighter mind, one that could handle the hardest fall
Being a better man, a safety for my loves and for my own
I want to leave all behind, but with you all the time
I want to leave all behind, but with you all the time
You give me peace of mind
Wielding a lighter hand, one that can rise from being down
Half life now gone, can I now rest on your chest?
I have nothing to prove, nor anything to make you impressed
Stuck in this prison of flesh and awaken nightmare
I want to leave all behind, but with you all the time
You give me peace of mind
I want to leave all behind, but with you all the time
You give me peace of mind
Many times I thought this is not for no one to bear
And with the most delicate feather, you caressed my head
And there was no need to speak about all words unsaid
Let me sing a requiem for the lost ones
Let me scream it all so high
Let me sing a requiem for the lost ones
So I can bury myself to life
Peace of mind
I've come to make amends, cause I was broken too many times
And I consumed it all, the excuses flowing down all the lines, all the lines
A spiral in the darkest of hell
And would they hear my cries?
