Blaze Of Perdition Conscious Darkness 1. A Glimpse of God Grant me a piece of darkness Grant me a glimpse of God The sum of all fears Lives given and taken Passion and horror comined O perfect redemption, withdrawal of blood To every beliver, the promise of God The vilest offender who truly believes That moment from His lips a pardon recieves A perfect creation, a flawless mistake A beautiful flower of virtues regained Blossom and grow until Heavens above Are within reach, just waiting To be ours again Grant me a piece of darkness Celestial void of wishes, ignored The sum of all prayers Lies heard, lies spoken Hope and disappointment Together as one Sacrifice and suffering Everyone must learn Sacrifice and suffering In the dark of night Pity , compassion, forgivness All these virtues the world no longer remembers Can they be right? Am I void? Am I hollow? All I know is everything I do I do for the love of God Grant me a piece of darkness A glimpse of divine dread Grant me a piece of darkness A perfect image of thy face Pity, compasion, forgivness Cruelty, indifference, punishment Pity, compasion, forgivness Resentment, indifference, revenge Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done And great our joy, each one His son But purer, and bleaker, and greater will be The night – our purpose, The twilight we seek 2. Ashes Remain Beneath, between, within, beyond – Nothing No more truths to reveal No revelations to proclaim No men to bestow them upon And only ashes remains When nothing survives to feed the fire And the fire begins to feed itself Self proclaimed divinity Delusion of grandeur Self inflicted lunacy Driven by the urge to become More than one can be More than one can aspire to be Only ashes remain When nothing survives to feed the fire Only ashes remain And embers wane On a pile of dust Beware, the ones who play with fire It shall burn to the ground Everything you claim to know Everything you hold dear Leaving you naked and weak Fragile as newborn child Across the barren lands of decrepit mind Serpent`s crawling through the cracks Through the dirt and dried blood Through the fractured spine Nodes of power shattered Man`s sanctity, all dignity The lunacy of man – defiled Eternally astray, wandering with folded eyes Across the wasteland they`ve become In search for paradise They will never find a way They will never become What they yearn to be All sanctity, all dignity The lunacy of man – defiled Across the barren lands of decrepit mind Serpent`s crawling through the cracks In the darkest of our thoughts Through the fractured spine It travels on and on Beneath, between, within, beyond Through the nodes of power Beyond our reach Through the broken conscious To entwine To feed the blaze, to feed itself To feed the blaze Until only ashes remain Come and play with fire And burn to the ground Everything you thnk you know Everything you hold close to your heart Where it hurts the most 3. Weight of the Shadow Come Eeach effort to rise makes us heavier Each failed endeavor tightens the noose As we reach for the stars They don`t seem to get closer They just stare and glitter And the stone keps pulling down Until our necks start to break With cracking sound of relief And crimson tears run from our eyes As we refuse to submit No! Pull me down no more! I – lost within and broken without Fractured spirit in search fo reconnection With the light coming through the darkness With the darkness hidden behind the light There is a price for every thruth unveiled For each step forward, two steps back are a must There is a purpose in every wound we recive And our hearts shall turn into maps One scar at a time Come to me, stand by me, pierce through my heart as I scream Become one with my sul and my mind As I paint my world black to resemble your eyes Staring at me at night, while I am staring back My dearest enemy Lesser twin, rejected child Twisted reflection in a broken mirror Or my face incarnate? Craving for a chance to become Integrated and whole I live, I lie, I kill, I die I am the punishment, I am the crime I am the one with the darkest void of mine And I urn Whatever it takes to progress Do I carry the shadow Or does shadow carry me…down? The more I try to keep it concealed The more of it slips away Another look within I take Another step beyond the veil Another glimpse of what`s to come Of what was hidden all along Another chance to see my hands So I pull off my velvet gloves Another face to gaze upon But this time it is my own 4. Detachment Brings Serenity Another chai nis broken Another bridge on fire The further I go Away from its warmth The more it feels like home In freezing serenity, alone I wander In freezing serenity, fire`s born anew Never back down they say But to retreat does not mean to surrender For the fire needs air to burn To spread its soothing blaze Years of levity in denigrating dirt Created a layered husk And it`s crumbling with each passing day In blissful seclusion I can breath again, I am born anew Rising up from the seeds I watered With my own tears, with my own blood To fertilize this soil once more From the distance I can see what was hidden Behind the masks worn as a second skin All those layered faces, all those hollow smiles To fight the shadows cast by us To reach what we perceive as light To live the lie, to breath the lie To become the lie in disguise I shall embrace the sun today And steal the light away I shall turn the moon tonight To reveal its lightless side Another the unbound Another idea, burning down The deeper I go Destination – south The more it feels like home In isolation profound Facing the mirror of the soul The man shall take off his mask To stand alone in the light of the stars Then the day shall turn to night And the moon shall replace the sun In the rakness, I shall find A piece of mind I have lost Then the night shall turn to day The sun shall rise to lead us again I remain deached in serenity Within the Devil`s womb I remain detached in serenity Holding hands with my own God
