Sigh In Somniphobia 1. Purgatorium What did you see in my eyes of eternity, The illusion lies in the false serenity, The evil seeds, they are to be sealed, Forever in oblivion, not to be revealed, I Live You Die You Shall Know Why I Live You Die Your Life Is Mine My words, my curse, my cries unheard, My words, my curse, my lies to be learned, Obsessed with dreams of madness, They shine like stars above me, The lies are piled in front of me, I live, you die Obsessed with dreams of madness, They'll fall like stars above me, The truth keeps whispering me, I live, you die (I feel) what is lost that used to be there for sure, Struggling with no hope to walk out of this, Surrounded by darkness that lasts forever, Drowning in weakness built upon the deception, Blame me now for what I have done, Blame me now for what isn't done, Blame me now for what I have done, Blame me now for what is gone, The repeated lies became the truth, Facade in this fear I will soothe, Ugliness (behind) beauty, Truth behind lies, Only the brave shall escape the curse to enslave 2. The Transfiguration Fear I can't believe what I have seen, I'm not a fool to cling to the hope It's a yoke which I have never asked for, None shall break my silence, None shall ever deny it, Are you afraid of nothingness, like I am? No matter how much I'm screaming out for, That is invisible and insensible, Waiting for this moment, (Chorus) Into darkness you're falling, Into (the) fire, The end of torment I'm calling, See the world, it's to disappear Into darkness you're falling, Into (the) fire, The end of fear I'm calling, Feel the world, it's to disappear All I could do was to pray, Though I know it won't pay, Once caught in this dream, you'll never escape it, Now the candle is burning out, Destined from the beginning, If it's a sin, I'll welcome it Who shall bleed on it? When you find it out, it's too late, Waiting for this moment Waiting for this torment 3. Opening Theme: Lucid Nightmare 4. Somniphobia Nocturnal visions invade my sanity, Colours I have never seen, Shapes that should not have been, My limbs that I am losing, My mind this fear is confusing, My sight, but I see with no eyes, Mark my words, which now mean nothing but lies, The world within my imagination, (Going) through the transformation Yes, you're a blind man, Lost in the dark You wish to wake but how? Yes you're a blind man, Caught in the cage, You wish to find the way out. The world as we know it, I never doubted, Stumbling on my only reward, Do I belong to something, that's not the same (any more) as it used to be, Something (once) called an emotion, I'm so sure that is long, Much longer than my existence, I'm so sure that is old, Much older than our existence 5. L'excommunication À Minuit A midnight frenzy, We'll let it begin, It's an unholy orgy, So full of sins, It's a rite in ecstasy Not to be seen, It's a filthy ecstasy For our queen, A heretic anthem we will sing, Nightmare in the shape of a snake with the two black wings A chosen icon that was once called king A filthy ecstasy they will bring (To) a tell-tale symbol we will sing, It's a symbol of fire, yes, fire! In the dead of the night, You will die tonight! So be it! Ring the bell, Close the book, Quench the candle, We are born of fire! 6. Amnesia Amnesia, they call it, but, they don't know what it is.. Please don't leave me alone, My eyes glaze as my mind fades, Save me from this never-ending hell, They came from somewhere, somewhere else, From the place we do not know, Strange visions, now they grimmer, As my memories become dimmer, Don't tell me it's unholy, Don't tell me it's so heavenly, It'll come to me, though slowly, It'll come to me, it scares me, [Chorus] Don't tell me that I'm losing my head because I saw it with my very eyes! Ugly and completely unknown, The sinister memories brought by oblivion, Fear me, hate me, torture me and you'll kill me, terrorize me, Don't leave me alone, No, I just can't escape myself, Please don't leave me alone, Trapped inside of myself, Save me from this never-ending hell, In a myth on in an endless dream Fear of the unknown creeps behind me, Remembrance is emerging in the brain-fever, So hypnotic, so terrifying as my coma gets deeper 7. Far Beneath The In-Between Phantasmagoric visions behind my eyes Cosmic voices echo deep in my mind Ancient chanting in an alien tongue Dementia transfer has now begun Beyond the wall of sleep and dream Nightmares crawling of shapeless things I know not what I do to myself I'm no longer in control of myself Tentacles coiled around my brain Invisible force drives me insane Amorphous beings that are using me To do such horrid ghastly things [Chorus] Far beneath the in-between Can no one hear my cries - hear my screams I know not what I do to myself I'm no longer in control of myself I am a vessel for these horrors to stir Possessed by an evil not of this earth Sadistic torment I commit in their names Upon the innocent now caught in my wake [Chorus] I'm now - Far beneath the in-between Thru the threshold of these terrible dreams So surreal is the blood I now spill in the name of old gods that thrill to kill Charming black slime Twisting my mind The demon star Madness now born 8. Amongst The Phantoms Of Abandoned Tumbrils I walk among the creeping hours Towards the cemetery gate Where death rattles purr From ulcerous mouths agape Past pits of tangled limbs Fingers pointing to godless skies, Tumbrils of still expressions And faceless grinning skulls. Ay soul is cleaned of joy By the reaping hook of hell I am lost in lamenting fog That none can dispel In melting murmurs of my regrets I fade into the un-pierced shade To fold my palms across my chest And lowered into the yawning grave I have become darkness profound laid to rest in shallow grave my redundant flesh obscure and foul, the lid unmoved with coffin nail I watch my corpse yonder blazing livid flame and sparkles dire, bitter ash of cremated remains my soul a doleful shade afire I pray for suicide to never wake from my bed, but how can I die when I am already dead [Chorus] Bring out your dead withered skin Bring out your dead languid limbs Bring out your dead withered skin Bring out your dead withered limbs Under hell's burning rafters and solemn brimstone pyres passed dark satanic mills of the infernal funeral Firestone to wander the hills of Hades and the grim embrace of day my spirit formless and cold to drown in gluttonous decay I see silhouettes of laughter on fiery mound of hollow repine where hueless wraiths casts spells of Orphean sorrow unfeigned [Narration] My guts spilled forth like eels slithering from a ruptured sack, this loathsome plague has come with the chilling gripe of sorrow to drag me into the dreadful din of sulphurous torment and here I shall remain until the hour glass of time cracks. I am the unveiled stillness of mouldering bones, the bloodless lustrous gloom where no flesh walks. I am the wisp of foul shade which the foul grave exhales from the inwoven darkness. What have I become! why do I wander beyond death? Only the wreath on my grave marks my life once lived. Doleful knell of dewy twilight casting chimes into infernal tomb where echoes of wrought dread assail the vaulted gloom. From dreary pits of dreamless sleep to the uncharted Stygian shores I wear the skin of the dying enwreathed with ulcerous sores. I gaze into the swooning deep and fathomless waters of dis, this friendless dolorous solitude of thronging foul abyss I see silhouettes of laughter on fiery mound of hollow repine where hueless wraiths casts spells of Orphean sorrow unfeigned Under hell's burning rafters and solemn brimstone pyres passed dark satanic mills of the infernal funeral Firestone to wander the hills of Hades and the grim embrace of day my spirit formless and cold to drown in gluttonous decay I ride the riven wave of evermore through frowning austere chasms astride dread phantoms pale and mute enwinged phantasms I pray for suicide to never wake from my bed, but how can I die when I am already dead Kill me twice again bury me alive in earthen grave burn my flesh to floating ash and watch my remains fly away Kill me thrice drown me in tomb girdled ground silence my assiduous wails so that I no more make make a sound. Bring out your dead Bring out your dead Bring out your dead Bring out your dead Bring out your dead Bring out your dead 9. Ending Theme: Continuum 10. Fall To The Thrall Buried in the tomb once filled with glory, Fall to the thrall, it comes so slowly, Defeat is in your eyes, The old deceit now despised, Once written, once warned, The life to be torn and the lies to be scorned, Shattered hope, shattered dream, Was it a trap as it seemed, You crawl then you fall to be a thrall, Defeat in your eyes that is so gall, Deceit in you lies, that is so gall, Prepare yourself to be hammered in hell, Or did you think you'd rule in heaven? Keep on dreaming though you'll end up in screaming (weeping) With the vanity you sell, Your fate on fire, [Chorus] FALL TO THE THRALL Your fate is on fire, the trap behind you, FALL TO THE THRALL The bait for the liar, that will blind you, FALL TO THE THRALL Your fate is on fire that will blind you, FALL TO THE THRALL The bait for the liar, that will grind you, Cruel fate you shall await (But) You're deaf, you're blind to the scythe behind Defeat is in your eyes, In this hell, you'll never survive, Time to beg on your knees, You bleed but none shall hear your plead, You're lost, you've crossed the line of fire, The fate you choose, the game you lose, You crawl then you fall to be a thrall, Defeat in your eyes, that is so gall, Deceit in your lies, that is so gall, 11. Equale I) Prelude II) Fugato III) Coda [Prelude] I am waiting, But I am shaking, I can't refuse it, I can't choose it, When our God is there to abuse it, I am gazing at the fear inside of me, I am gazing at the fear that cleanses me, [I] [Chorus] Kill me now, I don't need to plea, Kill me now it's meant to be, Kill me now if (it's) written in your story, Kill me now I'll drown in my glory, In the end only (the) sorrow waits Today you're tamed tomorrow hook bait, It's the end to which you have to cling, It's the bliss that only death can bring, I wish I'd keep on dreaming of The past which I have to believe in, I wish I'd keep on dreaming of The past which (has) gone forever, Maybe it's too late, now (only) the dark awaits, My fate, Their hate, All my fear will turn to their tears, All my fear, the means I hear, [Chorus] Kill me now, Until the fear fills me, Kill me now, the glory I'll see me now, To my fate I'll bow, Kill me now, kill me now, I had to see what I had to be, Breathing through the sentence I get, I am still yearning to be free, Begging on my knees, I should be not, [II] I know it's nothing but a dream (in which) I am let to live then die, on what they give, on what they design, When I think of (my) fate to come, I'll face the sentence I get from, The fate, the method I'll succumb (to), Blindly numb, I'll become, Drowning in my pain and nothing to remain Poison in my vein I'm striving in vain, No one's divine, (I see) no sun to shine, No use in crying when the salvation's mine, Burning is my tongue, Burning is my tomb, Burning are my eyes, Burning are my dreams, Or is it nothing but a dream in which I am let to live then die, on what they give, on what they design, Now look at the reaper behind me, I pray for my soul to be damned forever, Until the moment they finally find me, I pray for my soul to be damned forever, Let me bleed on (this) endless nightmare, Let me bleed on (this) flesh that I tear, Let me bleed my own blood, That is curse forever, Omnia Vanitas, the reaper's there, The believer's prayer is the deceiver's bane, Omnia Vanitas, the redeemer's scare, The believer's prayer is the deceiver's bane, As I see their sign divine, Life of mine will never shine, [III] We all are cursed, By the curse none shall ever escape, When we find it out, It's too late, There's nothing we can do, Nothing but a farce, Nothing but a one-night dream, Or should I say nightmare, We know it, All of us, I'm sorry but I have to go now...
