In Mourning Shrouded Divine 1. The Shrouded Divine In the crowd the insane rules A creation of a falling kind Preaching lies in suits of truth But their pride remains unstained In convoys crawling with cemetery smiles The creatures in this freakshow are standing in line No one have to be scared, when no one have to know Put on your bulletproof mask and step into the light Nothing can harm you Nothing ever happens here Inside this barricade the truth Is not what it seems to be In this corrupted pyramid All for the one, the one for no one The missing pieces in these fractured lives Black and white pictures of colorfull cries Running from the real thing This is the easy path, the way for the weak I have been painting pain in your tearstained eyes You are the weakness defined, I, the truth behind Setting the controls for your obscenity You are the weakness defined When awake, when asleep you see only me The shrouded divine When awake, when asleep you see only me The shrouded divine I am the marionettemaster Creator of your conscience Do not grasp on to the phantom of delight Drink my wine, I will make you believe I will give a thread to lead you through In the crowd the insane rules A creation of a falling kind Preaching lies in suits of truth But their pride remains unstained In convoys crawling with cemetery smiles The creatures in this freakshow are standing in line I have been painting pain in your tearstained eyes You are the weakness defined, I, the truth behind Setting the controls for your obscenity You are the weakness defined When awake, when asleep you see only me The shrouded divine When awake, when asleep you see only me The shrouded divine 2. Amnesia Stabbing, raping, tear them into pieces Screaming, crying, (just) deny it Hide your senses It's happening again I'm waking up in an embrace of red Just like the days before Examining the stains, looking for wounds without result The blood is not mine Stabbing, raping, tear them into pieces Screaming, crying, (just) deny it Hide your senses (In this) obscurity, paralysed in self-satisfaction Stranded in this scene of violence I'm escaping from it again Crawling out back in to the shadow I rearrange my life This is my new world. Welcome to Amnesia Broken down on another faceless day One more statement from the watchers of my parade It's happening again I'm waking up in an embrace of red Just like the days before Examining the stains, looking for wounds without result The blood is not mine This is my new world. Welcome to Amnesia Broken down on another faceless day One more statement from the watchers of my parade Amnesia Stabbing, raping, tear them into pieces Screaming, crying, (just) deny it Hide your senses 3. In The Failing Hour She was the key to my darkest heart Holding hands with the seekers of the path A forced face from the lingering hate A fake grace for the closing eyes in the crowd Reverse your rightness, let go of control Beware of the denying, it's in your hall You have the same ability to do as them Don't count your mistakes, get in the line and do what it takes She was the weakest in the world of liars Maybe the only one left that was telling the whole truth Waiting for that moment again in this misplaced childhood Ready to faint she will accept it, clutching at the tears in her mind The flock didn't pay in pain like the others Body to the ground, gravel in those tiny eyes For each day she struggles the degradation Forever bound to walk the fields of disgrace She was the key to my darkest heart Holding hands with the seekers of the path A forced face from the lingering hate A fake grace for the closing eyes in the crowd She was the weakest in the world of liars Maybe the only one left that was telling the whole truth Waiting for that moment again in this misplaced childhood Ready to faint she will accept it, clutching at the tears in her mind In The Failing Hour 4. By Others Considered Dark secrets always turns out to be the best Why does the rain always seem so black Bleeding for more to satisfy my everything Sealed from the others, leading me down For the apparition of my longing I borrowed a smile, unfaithful to reality To dignify my hollowness Bewildered minds declaring this world for me Drowned by this burden This is my confession, my lament to you It's me, I've painted the walls It's a portrait, of a black paradise From this day on I will look at life through darkness This is my confession, my lament to you It's me, I've painted the walls It's a portrait, of a black paradise From this day on I will look at life with my eyes closed Here is my confession, my last one to do From this moment, I will shut my eyes I look through the window, I look upon the world I face What do I see, it's a rainy day Dark secrets always turns out to be the best I can't restrain always forced to go back Bleeding for more to satisfy my everything Sealed from the others, leading me down 5. Grind Denial I have seen this enemy Crawling back with dignity Came from my past so I couldn't defy it Changing my looks so I couldn't deny it Oh this is a new day It takes me to the wrong way I come and I go and I do ignore I can't believe I've done this before Dark is my hallucination I've got a feeling of this pain that grows Black ghost points into the mirror Burning selfdestructive torture Twisted thoughts drown determination Just try and stop me, you can't control Black eyes, we point together Staring behind our fucking lives I have seen this enemy Crawling back with dignity Came from my past so I couldn't defy it Changing my looks so I couldn't deny i Oh this is a new day It takes me to the wrong way I come and I go and I do ignore I can't believe I've done this before Twisted thoughts drown determination Just try and stop me, you can't control Black eyes, we point together Staring behind our fucking lives 6. The Art Of A Mourning Kind Parading on the pride of others It is their fine art of slaughter One by one go down, cascading bloodstains on sacred ground The art of the mourning kind The cry of Gods children, when Eden burns Accusing innocence In a Graveyard of dreams Showing ignorance To the art of the mourning kind Undiscovered beauty, the blind men kill another one Just a fragment, a dear memory remains In the ashes of another life that drowned All the broken heroes are burying their nightmares in the sand Touched by cruelty, the ghost of shadows arrives And the magpie never used its wings to fly In the sequence of a shaded kiss The fearless uniformed got his tears on the inside All the emotions gathering on the shore In every moment there is one more failing hour to come Grey light, in the silhouettes of dawning The weak are gathered here for mourning And the barbarian is honored once again Yet another war for the statistic statues in command Accusing innocence In a Graveyard of dreams Showing ignorance To the art of the mourning kind Accusing innocence In a Graveyard of dreams Showing ignorance To the art of the mourning kind 7. The Black Lodge Gone for days, Julia Without a trace, Julia Leaving some words, a note If anyone gave a damn Gone for days, Julia Without a trace, Julia Leaving some words, a note If anyone gave a damn She laid her eyes upon the glade A place unseen by many And unknown to all She was hiding herself in the broad daylight From the seekers of the grind denial She approaches to the water The dark, cold water She was a keeper of the inside (Revealed) by this place which is unfound A pity sight for the magpie The Black Lodge She was hiding herself in the broad daylight From the seekers of the grind denial She approaches to the water The dark, cold water Beautiful when she left the door Unclosed behind Red dress, the evidence was on her wrists Julia, where are you going What are you leading me to The trail to the lodge is irrelevant It's always the end When they're finally there I can still see you through the water Gone for days, Julia Without a trace, Julia Leaving some words, a note If anyone gave a damn Gone for days, Julia Without a trace, Julia She was a keeper of the inside (Revealed) by this place which is unfound A pity sight for the magpie The Black Lodge She was hiding herself in the broad daylight From the seekers of the grind denial She approaches to the water The dark, cold water 8. Past October Skies The tired moon was crawling through the trees The branches were casting shadows on the ground A sad tale took place that October morning A lost soul left home for the last time Betrayed by the world, the unknown and invisible Tangled in a web of reality never real for her The view of the world was so different From underneath the surface In the water she felt no pain And the wings of the magpie swept her breath away She kneeled for death in silence The trail to the lodge is Julia In the water she felt no pain And the wings of the magpie swept her breath away She was left to this decision alone Misguided in the careless crusade So she went away that day It was the end of her world She walked the narrow way blinded by life Blinded by life The presence of pain was here In water tears were invisible It was all in the crest of misery She kneeled for death in silence No answers will be found and the black lodge still remains It has always been the end, and she was finally there The dying moon laid down to rest through the nightmares And overhead the cloudy sky started to cry
