A Canorous Quintet
The Only Pure Hate
1. Selfdeceiver (The Purest Of Hate)
Dusk has come to pass
The irreversible darkness surrounds us
Scared away from the light
No mercy will be shown
Your blood will flow
Weakminded, you deserve to die
Filled with the purest of hate
My axe rips the air
Deformed beyond recognition
The unpurest of all
Not even worthy of the ignorance
The ignorance of your slayer
Kneel on command
[*] you, you couldn't believe
Couldn't believe it was for real
Until you realize, that it is you
The selfdeceiver
There is nothing, all must end
For the selfdeceivers
[Repeat verse 3]
[*repeat]
It is you who are crawling
Crawling in a world of shit
And still you enjoy it
But even when there's nothing
Lets to crawl for you're still stuck
In your pile of fucking shit
The blade will fall
To end it all
2. Embryo Of Lies
Hidden thoughts of hate
Trying to manipulate the fate
Unseen is the power of every man
They who see they don't understand
(blind, blinded by fear)
Truth they will not hear
Neverending sadness
Turn into pure madness
[*] a beatiful pattern op emptiness
An empire op distress
The ruler of darkness
In an embryo of lies
Unseen is thi power of every man
They who see they don't understand
Neverending sadness
Turn into pure madness
[*repeat]
On memories they feed
But the air is so hard to breath
Short fragments of delight
To forget the icy fright
Wish hothihg else but to die
And to stop the internal cry
Waiting for the ehd to come
Soon it will all be gone
[*repeat]
3. Red
Trust! The blind man leads the way
A burnt out candle in the hand
Chasing for eternity nevermore
Pleased witn being lost forever
The touch on your face, it's lost
Too weak, too afraid to find salvation
Liquid illusions all that is seen
Believe in easy dreams. You can have it all!
Thoughts becomes to real, the end is hear!
Sun moon nothing's left to see
Stars all surrounding us
As we enter into endless nignt
It burns inside, tear it apart
Leave it all, face grim reality
Shed a tear for the lost
Weakness lies in trust
And the foolish await the arrival
Castle of promises imprisoned
Don't believe the words!
[Repeat verse 3]
[*] red is the colour of our dreams
Our blood, our life, our nignt
When all ends up darkened
Red is the colour of our dreams
Our blood, our life. Our night
I'm bleeding to death, red
[Repeat verse 4]
[*repeat]
4. The Void
Horrified by the magic of night
I'm enchanted under the spell
In pain i scream once again
The pain i thought that i would feel
It came upon me early this time
[*] i try to escape into the void
Into my nomansland
How else would i survive [x2]
Trapped in the spidersweb
She who will eat out my heart
Leaves he with laughters of malice
As many nights before
I fear it's my dying breath
Still i do this with pleasure
Although i know it's pointless and useless
I end up witn tne poison
Running through my veins
(doomed to) eternally suffer
Eternally die
Eternally arise
Immortal in my suffering [x2]
I try to escape into the void
Into my nomansland
How else would i survive
[*repeat]
The void [x2]
5. Everbleed
Born to bleed with desert dream
With no illusions and no need
Made of steel but not for real
To feel is to sin
Turn blank pages in an empty book
There's nothing left to win
Born to bleed in a desert world
Silent agony: everbleed
6. The Complete Emptiness
No hope, no cure
No destination anymore
So empty yet complete
I've seen it all before
A gleam of light revealed
But always out of reach
I was never to know
It wasn't part of the show
You need the truth, but truth hurts
What i need is not what is offered
Answers i don't want to hear
I'm sorry i can't help you i suffer too
[*] no nope, no cure
No destination anymore
So empty yet complete
I've seen it all before
The truth it kills
Without any blood spilled
Relieved from life
An urge to fulfill
Life is worthless, life is pain
Here i have nothing to gain
My blood runs down tne drain
(blood rain)
In spite op my dreams, i hold back
For now long will i hold back?
Don't know what life is for
But i don't wanna see anymore
[*repeat]
7. Retaliation
Hate has bleeding within me
I am turned inside out
Wish you felt the pain i feel
A thorn tearing from inside
I bleed the invisible blood
The blood of my soul
I wish i had the strength to turn my back
Turn my rage against you
Make you bleed the way i do
Bury you within my darkness
Stifle in my close embrace
Until there's nothing left to hate
Only the purity of a newborn life
[*] condemned because there is no cause
Seas of sorrow drowing me
I'll live forevermore still nevermore
I'll become your greatest fear
Take you down to me
To perish in hy heart of darkness
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
In this world of pain
Sorrow is all you'll gain
You get what you deserve!
Your daydreams end!
Inside this blackhole of my life
Nothing can exist no more
Forever engulfed,
Forever lost, within myself
Within hy tihe
[Repeat verse 2]
[*repeat]
8. Realm Of Rain (Crystal, Chapter One)
Misty shadows grips the heart
Souls reunite in order of chaos
[*] Wnite knights guards the treasures of dreams
In the centre of the storm a man is to emerge
To find the pleasure beyond the lost horizon
Now hidden beyond a realm of rain
Entering the vein of black
Blood runs red in seas of sorrow
Tne sun burns grey in a cloudy sky
Confusion!
Many questions why?
It's time to leave this earthly palace
The crystal is stolen, as worlds collapse
Reality disappears, shaking in disgust
The crystal leads astray
A foul taste of truth
Blood runs red in the flow of forever
Springs of salt runs down the face
Left alone in silent disgrace
[*repeat]
As the leaves slowly falls to the ground
Forever captured spirits of life
The pathis gone without a trace
Lost in a universe of deceit
But somewhere in the distant
(a light breaths its last sigh)
9. The Storm (Crystal, Chapter Two)
The storm is closing in
A shadow of a man drifting by
His life is all forgotten
He doesn't know the purpose of his dreams
Relive this world from sorrow and pain
A struggle in misery it shall be
In his search for the lost horizon
Pain and suffering is his lost friend
As he opens his eyes and looks at the
Rainfilled skies, grey as forever
[*] Lightning strikes as he finds that
A rainbow is bringing light to his eyes
Now he's the rider of the lost
In search of paradise and joy
But the man without a shadow
Stands in his path
The storm is closing in, again and again
Lifting a sword in desperation
Cuts through lifeless air, he is gone
The tale of gods are to be told
And a raging battle unfold
Leaving his world destroyed in desperation
The path will be neverending
As he ride through the forest of cold
Ice breaks free he is on his way
[*repeat]
10. Land Of The Lost (Crystal, Chapter Three)
Riding the winds
Across tne raging seas
To reach the kings in the land of the lost
A turbulent sea winds of cold
Reaching the harbour, they are safe
Entering the gates, castle of splendor
History of 3,000 years has passed
Walls endless as he no longer sees the sky
Mighty forces takes his hand
As the wolf becomes a part of his destiny
Join us in our search for the land of the lost
Join us in our search for the land of the lost
[*] Once again crossing the raging seas
To enter the forest of misery
Trees are closing in as the moonhawk
Cross the skies
The trail is filled with withering bones
Since battles of old
As they are to spill the blood of the poor
No longer unknown, followed by darkness henchmen
[*repeat x2]
Endless speech, time is running out of hand
Dark forces stands in their way
Trying to bring disorder to his thoughts
Swords of lightning end their will
Once again victory has been won
The meeting is done
Mother earth breaks evil bonds
As his mind is freed
When he leaves the elders
