The end is here
The end has finally arrived
It is your fault
You are to blame
That the end is nigh
End is Nigh
The moment you've been waiting for
The final judgement
The hand of god reaches out and takes you to paradise
The paradise looks exactly like this world
And everyone is as holy as thou
I will go nowhere
We are already living in hell
Hell is where the heart is
Open up your heart
Let me see your hell
I do not care about your paradise
We have eternity to spend there
But all we can ever own is this moment, right now
Wake up
Journey begins
To the other side,
Break on through
There the paradise for us lies
But it is in disguise
Blank faces, empty words
Suffocated souls
Waiting for their day to come
When they reach the promised land
Which is non-existent
Ignorance
Vanity
Indulgence
Sanctimony
Gods worshipped in ivory towers
Until the earth it devours
End is nigh, you were the ones to bring it forth
By raping nature and humanity
The end is nigh for you and me
The end of times is where we are
The bringer of doom is what we are
We are already living in the end of times

Torment in Existence
06:11
|
|||
The sound of pounding metal
Silent cries of torment
Fading of the lies
As the skies burn like fire
Fading of the lines
As the nights burst with thunder
Fading of the lives
As the seas burn in flames
As we’re washed away
We feel no shame
The silence of ages escalates
As we drift away
I step ahead over the edge
I hold my breath under water
For a minute, until I drown
The secret lies ahead
The power of tombs
Hidden is the key inside the cage
Locked and far away
Fading of the lines
As the skies burn with fire
Fading of the lights
As the seas devour the flames
Can you hear them
You are not alone ahahaha
Faces and voices
Haunt me in my sleep,
When I’m awakeIn the mirrors, and oceans
My memories
My misery
My existence
My torment
My Pain
Is this the end of pain,
The end of me the End of you
And of us altogether?
This is the end
My friend
We are in this together

Invisible Flesh
06:54
|
|||
There are no words
Constant rain washes
The citys distorted face
It is cold
Fragile connections between us
Invisible flesh, too far away from touch
Speaking without meaning
Without words without sense
Movement drunken
As the demons dance
Mind heavy and hard, throbbing pain
There is neither a beginning nor an end
Gathering pieces from chaos
Time is destroyed and it appears again
As a ghost among it's own ruins
The ghosts that I manifest
Return to haunt us
Dark silhouettes against liquid orange sky
No stars to be seen, a city full of noise
Waiting for love, never arriving
You bury it deep within you
Intuitively, just a step forward, don't stop now
Just a little more and everything will change
And I go on, even if I do not know why
I go on, thinking each time will be the last time

The Legacies
06:58
|
|||
Can’t you see the flowers in the garden
They are withering every day a little more
But the flowers they can replenish
Yet the man can replenish only so much
By watching the flowers
Not counting the hours
By Sleeping well
Even when in HellThe path
Of rising tombs
And flourishing nature
Reminiscent of Eden
The past defines the future
The names carry the Legacies
From here the soulsHave departured
Left behind
The microcosmos in it’s beauty
All that craves for wind and soil and fire
The path of molded tombs
And garnished nature
Earthly Eden
The past reminds of future
The names fade from stones and Legacies
Face the beast
Inside you
Release the beast
Face yourself
You are the one who’s eyes burn red with hate
Whose mouth lusts for blood
Whose mind is infected
Face yourself
As you are in the eyes of God
Open your God eyes
Let your own inside come alive

Time is
07:16
|
|||
Time that slips away
Does not leave a stain
Stains are what makes us
We are a crude canvas
Human existence bound into flesh and countless organs
Locked inside
The concept of space and time, how sad
Time melts away
As we count the days
Time is equivalent of Zeitgeist
Power, nature, physical manifestations
It is Power to manifest from psyche to physical, true power
Open your eyes
Open your mind
Open your eye that is closed
And feel the power to manifest anything
Concept of time does not apply to the soul
We are merely born
We only die
There is Nothing that matters in between
Time melts away
As we lose the count of days
Time is equivalent of Zeitgeist
Power, nature, physical manifestations
We are obligated to sleep and eat and breath
Everything else is a desire
Burning desire that turns you into a coal
You must forge yourself into a diamond

Status of the Soul
09:36
|
|||
Resonating with the frequencies, the sense of time disappears
The physical existence ceases to be
The primary experience
It is the status of the soul,
That exists beyond the realm of time and space
In death, the status of the soul becomes
The primary experience
Not being alive, being dead, unexisting
Vibration like any other
Existing not in time,
Not in physical form,
Not in space,
Not in a location
Experience opens up when
The stars align inside your mind
This treasure to seek within you
The path of death, but great fortune
Let your mind sink into the abyss
That it is
Let your thoughts come alive
Hear them, challenge them
Accept them, let them go
Non-existence is the goal of human
Life is a prison for the soul
All of us are prisoners
Remember that when you shake the hand of a fellow inmate
We all just suffer, eternally.
In between everything in humanity.
All the energy, the breath of cosmos.
Time has to come to embrace the void
I’ve the embraced the void in my dreams for so long
Sweet sweet embrace of the void
Tangles me inside it and outside
No place no time
No suffering
Just endless streams of love
But not that soon
First this flesh must endure
