1. I, the Polluter

[Verse 1]
The presumption, think my thoughts
Aim low to target your darkest corner
Surrender all and consume my mold
Your freshness and glow to worship

[Pre-Chorus]
Your healthy claret, a gift

[Chorus]
I, the receiver
And you, the giver
When are we planning to leave and bleed?
You, the donator
Me, the polluter
Subsist to eat and breathe you dry

[Post-Chorus]
A chalice of charred remains
A solid education in the art of affliction

[Verse 2]
Drained, emptied out
Precious, cavernous
Deceased masks, pretending still
Defile and inherit the body, your temple
Release the grip to end it
Descend into oblivion
Release the grip, be gone

[Bridge]
Your nursing claret now consumed
The normal now surreal
Reclaim the host of rampancy
To make your soul unseal

[Refrain]
When are we planning to leave?
When are we planning to leave and bleed?
When are we planning to leave?
When are we planning to leave and bleed?
No more
Turn cold

[Verse 3]
You look like grief itself
When do I come to her?
Everyone is waiting
Come together to mourn


2. We Died in October

[Verse 1]
This place belongs to us and we to it
Let this curse be a part of our world

[Pre-Chorus]
Who's your willing sacrifice?
We crush the dream of heaven

[Chorus]
Stay with me
When you look at me
Do you actually see me?
We died in October

[Verse 2]
Love is worse than hatred
Fruitless words of damage
We are one, we are war
Mutual destruction to be hallowed

[Refrain]
Emptiness
Walk with me
The dance of doom
October in bloom
Washed away
Tides of shame
Quench that flame
You'll never be clean again

[Pre-Chorus]
Destroy each other with love
Scatter the ashes

[Chorus]
Stay with me
When you look at me
Do you actually see me?
We died in October

[Verse 3]
I burn it down to nothing
Erasing you for good
The remains of our past
Summer is dying at last

[Refrain]
Emptiness
Walk with me
The dance of doom
October in bloom
Washed away
Tides of shame
Quench that flame
You'll never be clean again
Emptiness
Walk with me
The dance of doom
October in bloom
Washed away
Tides of shame
Quench that flame
You'll never be clean again


3. Ögonblick av nåd

[Verse 1]
Jordens skönhet kringstrålar dig och jag bländas
Du motsäger meningslösheten
Jag kan inte andas
Det bleka likets predikan

[Verse 2]
Ett virvarr av självbedrägerier
När vi vaknar är vi rädda
Låt vår tid förgöras i sotet
Du, du kan skada men aldrig ändra
En parfymerad förmåga att gå sönder saktare

[Chorus]
Mening, mönster, ögonblick av nåd
Skulden är själslig, se luften sakta går ur
Sticka hål för att se när luften sakta går ur
Skara hål för att se när luften sakta går ur

[Verse 3]
Jåg star i kväv vid er badd
Känn min obalans, bär min borda
Natten finns till för dig och mig
Ta in mig nu, nu är de borta

[Bridge]
Infektionen är konstant, den färdas med luften
En känslomässig fosterstyckning
Döp din sjukdom efter mig

[Verse 4]
En familj som stelnat sönder till oigenkännlighet
Välkommen in, in under min kvävande filt

[Chorus]
Mening, mönster, ögonblick av nåd
Skulden är själslig, se luften sakta går ur
Sticka hål för att se när luften sakta går ur
Skara hål för att se när luften sakta går ur


4. Stars Starve Me

[Verse 1]
I swore it had gone
Yet, yet in vain?
Caught in the coils of oration again
Above, I was the witness of
Wings, once unfurled
Below, my splendor, no
No longer tied to this world

[Chorus]
I saw the serpent in my sleep
These scales often waiting in my most desolate dreams
And at times, oh, it bears such horns
Its eyes
Much more menacing than the night

[Verse 2]
I swore it had gone
Yet, yet in vain?
Caught in the coils of oration again
Above, I was the witness of
Wings, once unfurled
Below, my splendor, no
No longer tied

[Chorus]
I saw the serpent in my sleep
These scales often waiting in my most desolate dreams
And at times, oh, it bears such horns
Its eyes
Much more menacing than the night
Before

[Bridge]
Descend if not for a day
Stars starve me
Of my breath, of my light
A vision less than serene
Descend if not for a day
Stars starve me
Of my breath, of my light
A vision less than serene
Descend if not for a day
Stars starve me
Of my breath, of my light
A vision less than serene

[Verse 3]
Fabric not of life
Descend, if not for a day
For shivering souls
Into a cold
As old as the flame
Above, I was the witness of
Wings, once unfurled
Below, my splendor, no
No longer tied to this world

[Chorus]
I saw the serpent in my sleep
These scales often waiting in my most desolate dreams
And at times, oh, it bears such horns
Its eyes
Much more menacing than the night


5. Our Famine

Transcend, starving pale
Our famine is educative
Pretend, transcending grey
Forget the world outside
My moral decay

One last attempt prior to submission
You know rejection in your bones
Self annihilation is religion
We try again tomorrow
Before I dissolve

We lend our breath to one another
Let the lie beautify
The world can swallow me at any time
Words can be worthless, just like that

Examine the depths of starvation
A good place to get clean
Come and kill it
All the tiny insects of anguish
Come and kill it
Come and kill it to help me

We lend our breath to one another
Let the lie beautify
The world can swallow me at any time
Words can be worthless, just like that

We lend our breath to one another
Let the lie beautify
The world can swallow me at any time
Words can be worthless, just like that


6. Guide My Pulse

[Verse 1]
I have lost myself in the ruin of our lives
It's been a while, but your voice still feels
Fragile consciousness, exclusive fear
I carry your weak teeth in my drugged arms
Remind me to despise tomorrow
She comes to me in the bath

[Chorus]
Still holding on to your sleeping breath
Please guide my pulse, exerting control
Left all alone to rule the void
Please shut me down, just for a while

[Post-Chorus 1]
Everything possible shattered
Reconciled in empty betrayal
Disunite

[Verse 2]
Morbid ambiance shining through
Propagation of the useless worms
Everything is moist and worn
Everything painted cold and prepared to die

[Chorus]
Still holding on to your sleeping breath
Please guide my pulse, exerting control
Left all alone to rule the void
Please shut me down, just for a while

[Post-Chorus 2]
Does she remember me?
Let her remember me
Together by time, by destiny, by God

[Verse 3]
No affection for today, kill tomorrow
To predominate the emotions
Rivers of pouring black
Still, I live off your sleeping breath


7. Seconds

[Verse]
Merciless
My pulse counts it down
The triviality of our intentions
Curtains are closing
Draped in demise
Trying to find it
Our light
This is the implicit picture
The picture of hope abandoning me
By carving the torment within

[Chorus]
Seconds
Do you see how long they last?
Now they're gone
To be worth my time
Nothing before, nothing after

[Bridge]
A lifetime spent together
(Tell me)
Makes our faces become the same
(Was it worth it?)
Help me change its meaning
By carving the silence of torment within
The joy of life
We're aching to feel
But the world won't let us
Seducing the shame
Crumble the wretched
Will you remember my name?
A lifetimes spent together
Makes our faces become the same
Help me change its meaning
By carving the silence of torment within
Wish there was another way
(Tell me)
But the fire keeps boiling, beckon me
(Was it worth it?)
Pour cold water in your blood
You tell me, was it worth it?
The world doesn't care about me
I don't care, I won't let it

[Chorus]
Seconds
Do you see how long they last?
Now they're gone
Curtains are closing
Draped in demise
Trying to find it
Our light

[Outro]
Carving the torment within


8. Envy the Moon

[Verse 1]
What lies behind the etched stare?
A longing for eyes not destined to me
What of these steps like stone, echoes of my feet?

[Refrain]
Soul released, do I dare die of my grief?
No promise to keep
Sing myself to sleep
Sing myself to sleep

[Verse 2]
Winter beguiled, yet its essence remains
Rust in lieu of flowers
An autumn of stone and chains
Devouring gasp, to be the air
The sky agape to rain despair

[Chorus]
I felt it blanket me, cold cloth of dusk
And when midnight struck my gilded tomb
Envy of the moon
I felt it blanket me, cold cloth of dusk
And when midnight struck my gilded tomb
Envy of the moon

[Verse 3]
I held the dawn
Dusk never escaping my hand
Painful observer
Embodying absence
The wind, it seems so cruel at times
The breath of noxious day
A touch of diluvial night

[Refrain]
Soul released, do I dare die of my grief?
No promise to keep
Sing myself to sleep
Sing myself to sleep

[Chorus]
I felt it blanket me, cold cloth of dusk
And when midnight struck my gilded tomb
Envy of the moon
I felt it blanket me, cold cloth of dusk
And when midnight struck my gilded tomb
Envy of the moon
