Cries of fear, morbid reality Cries of despair Fulfilling the dream, Is it to much too much to ask for? Desperately seeking feelings With those who may have the answers Knowing there must be more I keep on looking Am I the only One asking these questions? Cries of fear, morbid reality Cries of anger Death, grasping its freedom If not disappointment as always It's been part of my life So I cry Regrets Regrets for what has ceased to be Call this our last goodbye We'll meet again In what must be - a better place Cood companionship Is beyond any dimension Regrets, for what could have been Though death may part our lives... It will not seperate us Dark Age A century of holy fires Death commanded by a holy bible In fire many souls were lost The mysteries of evil Truth or insane lies The fear of the unholy sword The fear to see evil arise Witchcraft, a cause of death Prove your innocense Or cruelly you shall burn A century of holy fires Death commanded by a manic priest In fire many lifes were lost The mysteries of faith Truth or insane lies The fear of the holy word The fear to see evil arise Ode to the Lamented The grave, Place of rest for the beloved one hear the sound of threnodies, For the one forever gone Rectangular black hole, Like jaws of death themselves Soon they will be shut With only memories left As the Heavens Fall Helplessly witnessing the infamous Progression of humanity - surviving - Confronting the moral decay Of these dark ages As in future, as in past Will this darkness come to last? Helplessly hearing The cries of the raped - surviving - Not blind, nor deaf, Will reason finally catch up with death As in future, as in past Will this darkness come to last? Desperately fighting The breaches in humanity - surviving - As in future, as in past Will this darkness come to last? As the heavens fall Come for Me Despair and anguish torment my mind Where is the one who was? Part of my mind, part of my soul The one I need to make me whole Losing myself in endless grief Emptiness ripping my soul The shreds of sanity Barely holding on Wanting to be with you Pleading for death, to come for me Trapped in a body Of needing, weak flesh I'm merely human, thus powerless For death brings life But life brings death Wanting to be with you Pleading for death, to come for me Despair Civilisation, a word used in vain A dark show in which we all play Sinister actors Caught in their own faul say Genocide, horror of the past Sign of the times If god had seen what is going down He would defy humanity No more than rats, Struggling to keep their filthy lifes Birth the reason, for their demise Though human Yet loathing the other I am the killer of my brother The Elder See life pass you by Your last hour growing nearer Enjoyed all pleasures of life trying to latch on Desperately trying trying to latch on The elder want to grasp The elder want to know One foot in the grave Pass on your wisdom Made the choices and decisions Desperately trying to latch on See the world pass you by Everything seems to fast The elder want to grasp The old surpassed by the young Supersession of Breath Nor dread nor hope attend A dying animal A man awaits his end Dreading and hoping all Many times he died Many times rose again A great man in his pride Confronting murderous men Casts derision upon Supersession of breath He knows death to the bone Man has created death (W.B. yeats - 1865-1939) In Memoriam Extrasensory signs Not much time left Deilitation of mentation Life expropriation At death grips, daunted by the unknown Latching on to life, final acceptation Longevity is lost Lapidation of hope Manumission of life A soul will arrive At death grips, daunted by the unknown Latching on to life, final acceptation Now here to lie - deep inside the earth
