Novembers Doom
Hamartia
1. Devils Light
I'm waiting to be someone else
When I can look back through the vacancy
Visit the grave where my soul is trapped
And tip my hat to the demons before me
In the glow of Devils light, I can seen the face of God
To judge the man that stands before the flame
It burns bright, cast the Devils light, my soul is in pain
Just once I want to see a tear
A small sign to show me you care
Stomach ache, heart ache…
I'd rather die alone.
In the glow of Devils light, I have seen the face of God
To judge the man that stands before the flame
It burns bright, cast the Devils light, My soul is in pain
The limit of my mind has reached its end
I'll become the monster you say I am
In the glow of Devils light, I have seen the face of God
To judge the man that stands before the flame
It burns bright, cast the Devils light, my soul is in pain
In the glow of Devils light, I have seen the face of God
To judge the man that stands before the flame
It burns bright, cast the Devils light, my soul is in pain
2. Plague Bird
Dawn the mask to filter the scourge of love
Filled with juniper, mint and clove
Seen though the eyes of the plague bird
Bloodletting straight from the heart
Heavily waxed and sealed from the air
The vile presence burns the lungs
Rise the stench of black death
Rebalance the humors that bind
BREATHE - This air is poisoned with the past
SEE - My heart bleeds in misery
VEIL - To hide my eyes from the truth
RUN - Far from this life I knew
Drape of lies embrace the soul
Distracting sight from forward growth
Seen though the eyes of the plague bird
Bloodletting straight from the heart
BREATHE - This air is poisoned with the past
SEE - My heart bleeds in misery
VEIL - To hide my eyes from the truth
RUN - Far from this life I knew
Aromatic plume blankets the cold
Born with a consuming burn
BREATHE - This air is poisoned with the past
SEE - My heart bleeds in misery
VEIL - To hide my eyes from the truth
RUN - Far from this life I knew
3. Ghost
Dense fog burns the sky
Vile air blisters earth
Run, run while you can
Every turn brings pain
Run, run while you can
Fear will collapse the lungs
You found me
Even through my best attempt to hide
I can feel this presence creeping so suddenly
I'm haunted by the ghost of yesterday
Visits my dreams and steals breath away
Relive the moments, I'm desperate to ignore
I don't want to feel this pain anymore
You show me
The mistakes in life I've made
I can see the disappointment in there eyes
And I know that I will likely die alone
I'm haunted by the ghost of yesterday
Visits my dreams and steals breath away
Relive the moments, I'm desperate to ignore
I don't want to feel this pain anymore
Shades of the past awhile [are vile?]
Impossible for the dark to cover
So run, run while you can
Soon
Your haunt will devour
4. Ever After
Waiting for the sun to shine
Fever grows to burn the soul
She's left in the cold of ruin
Left alone by your selfish pride
In the ever after
Where the sky opens to black
Wash the painted face away
And hide from the shallow
I refuse to accept your lies
The absent breath breathes down my spine
Decency is lost, The body shivers
Not from fear, from your vile way
In the ever after
Where the sky opens to black
Wash the painted face away
And hide from the shallow
Incapable of love
Intolerable shame
Voice denies the truth
From birth to the ground
Wading through fragments of her broken heart
Your name is carved onto every piece
In the ever after
Where the sky opens to black
Wash the painted face away
And hide from the shallow
5. Hamartia
Reach for the stars
I want it all
Right here where the storm begins
Diminished by waste
Cursed by the one who stands
You can't steal my thoughts anymore
Crawling through these halls of misery
Who are you to say that love is dead?
This has always been about the heart
I have told so many lies protecting the drowning bride
You can't steal my thoughts anymore
Crawling through these halls of misery
Who are you to say that love is dead?
This has always been about the heart
The first side smiles with a certain charm
It has fools all those around me
6. Apostasy
I've wished my life away
Brutal dreams that come to pass
I've made mistakes that lead me here
Forward punishment is regret
I seek the pale fog that creeps across the earth
Crawling through the muck
The storm approaches from the past
The aftermath of fractured lives
I seek the pale fog that creeps across the earth
Crawling through the muck
I saw your God today
Washed up on the shore where the feeble mourn
His flesh was pale, His eyes were hollow
Deceiving life in the setting sun
Your God is dead
A shallow hole to hide the truth
Missing the earth so they can see
Stonecutter will leave his mark
The hammer swings so violently
Carving words with archaic means
Contemplate apostasy
In a desperate attempt at redemption
The pathetic urge to continue the wrong
I seek the pale fog that creeps across the earth
Crawling through the muck
I saw your God today
Washed up on the shore where the feeble mourn
His flesh was pale, His eyes were hollow
Deceiving life in the setting sun
Your God is dead
7. Miasma
Approaching the moment we knew would come
The time where you must leave this place
I wish that you could speak to me
To hear your voice again… Again
For all these years
You were my reason to love
And I begged you not to leave me
There's no life without you
I will always be alone
In this room you wither away
Praying for your end of days
I'll hold your hand until the end
My heart will never let you go… Let you go
For all these years
You were my reason to live
And I begged you not to leave me
There's no life without you
I will always be alone
There's no love without you
I will always be alone
I wish you could hear me
I have so much to say
My words are suffocating
Miasma steals my breath away
For all these years
You were my reason to breathe
And I begged you not to leave me
For all these years
You were my reason to love
And I begged you not to leave me
There's no love without you
I will always be alone
8. Zephyr
My god, what have you done?
Poison from the slime of the leech
This body bleeds black
Shadows of the cold bring hate
I'm the one who sees your best
I'm the one who feels your worst
I'm the one who smiles
I'll never be your fool
There was something in your eyes that night
Bleak and cold
I was the witness of your collapse
Through all the wallowing she rose
I'm the one who sees your best
I'm the one who feels your worst
I'm the one who smiles
I'll never be your fool
The harmony builds in starry skies
I remember when this was real
A gentle breeze that moves my thoughts
I won't remember you for long
A vast and open sea watching dusk arrive
My fleeting love drowns with the sun
Fade to obscurity
I'm the one who sees your best
I'm the one who feels your worst
I'm the one who smiles
I'll never be your fool
I'm the one who sees your best
I'm the one who feels your worst
I'm the one who smiles
I'll never be your fool
9. Waves In The Red Cloth
I have never loathed so madly
To see my path so clearly
I am still breathing the poison
Crawl from the air that's burning
Survive your plague just one more day
Transcend the hatred violently
Waves in the red cloth
Wipe the blood pooled in my eyes
Striding fair beyond the boundaries
The ravaged earth I walk alone
A simple glance to see it all
Crawl from the air that's burning
Survive your plague just one more day
Transcend the hatred violently
Waves in the red cloth
Wipe the blood pooled in my eyes
Transcend the hatred violently
Waves in the red cloth
Wipe the blood pooled in my eyes
Careless are the whispers who scream out loud
No secrets will die with me
The vast and open sea will carry the word
Across the ears of the deafened morrow
Transcend the hatred violently
Waves in the red cloth
Wipe the blood pooled in my eyes
10. Borderline
Wading though the days of old
Splinters pierce the skin
Finding no reason to hold the past
I wave goodbye with bloody hands
Burning bright, I'm lost in your light
Pausing my will to absorb the moment
Here at night, each time I touch your face
The days worries melt away
The only way for me to carry on
Was to awaken my devotion
I could never have the strength alone
This new life belongs to you
To you
Burning bright, I'm lost in your light
Pausing my will to absorb the moment
Here at night, Each time I touch your face
The days worries melt away
Indifferent past, modern scars
Forward tomorrow, twice as far
We walked across the borderline
Take a pause and one deep breath
Meeting our eyes before we step
Forever forward, no turning back
Holding hands, knuckles white
Never greater to feel so alive
Moving on and side by side
Together a new day begins
Guided by the morning light
Illuminated through the distant dark
Moving fast and forging on
A great distance, effortlessly
We walked across the borderline
Take a pause and one deep breath
Meeting our eyes before we step
Forever forward, no turning back
Indifferent past, modern scars
Forward tomorrow, twice as far
