Who are you, servants And why are you here? What is this divine displeasure? Disobeyed disaster is why you're all dismayed Tertium datum est For arrogance toward god For scorning eternal joy For speaking against god For the end of power For envy and hate For star-gazing
For blasphemy For the joy of the specter The foolish mask you wear on The ringing bells upon your head Concealed tantrum and bitterness To withstand his own complete perfections They who speak, do not know They who speak, do not know! They who know, do not speak! Alas! Go forwards, legions of faith Have us prostrated Ascend the throne of your own dissonance Manifestation of enlightenment with eyes wide closed Beware! The stone you used to build of Turned to dust! The foolish mask you wear on The ringing bells upon your head Concealed tantrum and bitterness To withstand his own complete perfections Attach the ropes to your knees and neck A marionette, a dumb show And if you feel more Don't tell anymore ...narragonia...
2. The Dawnfall (Hamartia And Hybris)
Up on the hill we stand Grey worn gowns, motionless You can't see the faces, you can't see the eyes All around the hill As far as the sight can reach The smoldering ruins It smells like the incense and burning flesh Each man kills the thing he loves By each let this be heard Some do it with a bitter look Some with the flattering word The coward does it with the kiss The brave man with the sword! Creation avenged, naught of our fears left We are the actors of our own perfection Let the flames burn! Let the night glow! Look, this was life! It was happening all around you Since now on ? it's all gone And since now you'll start to feel That you were the very part of it Same as go? is nothing without the fairy tale of him So you are nobody Without the world that creates you The world without the end This night ended up in flames For all that they have done to us For all that you have done to us
3. Infinity Horizon
Far beyond your gods and beliefs There are worlds you'd never even think of The question shines through the centuries If one can get there and back The history knows so many of them Who claimed to be enlightened and wise Their trips made religions for all those Who look no further than their sight can reach Spiritual oblivions Oushing so hard, they made it through the nine gates And they entered the falls of light and fire Inaudible astonishment In awe of the might Adorned in jewels, shrouded in mists Challenge the thousand suns! Do you remember the fallen star That you have seen from the hill? You've been waiting for it through your entire life! And you've lost your wish For chaining yourself To this one idea One thought One vision One voice
4. Rage Of Reason
Thoughts once enshrined And visions entwined Around each step that I take I challenge thee! It takes a time to see from the other side Of the looking glass Fearless Reflections contorted Crippled age of reason A play of blind With no spectators Dominion of hope Is what feeds dissolution Of this life you've been given These are the product of those ill-mated marriages thou saw'st Where good with evil were matched, who of themselves abhor to join And by imprudence mixed Produce prodigious births of body and mind Ye who preach Who proclaim the sermons Of the ones not fallen from grace And disorder of light that you belong to Don't you dare Don't you dare to touch me! Awe! Can't you see you're all pregnant With infernal flame?! Awe! Why don't you all believe You've been deceived about your disgrace Awe! There is much more to see if you deny your profound fears Don't look for solace Angels are envious of what you have Reflections contorted Stir up the rage of reason A play of blind fools Spectators on their knees Dominion of hope Is what feeds dissolution Of this life you've been given Don't you dare Don't you dare to touch me! Gather back sharp splinters of your resemblance And now, what would you go for? To flash once and burn down Or to stay inflamed without the end
5. Of Bitterness And Clarity
Command me not! I am the might that you'll never be What you've promised us to have after we're gone This we have here and now, for now is on forever They judgement day we're feared of Is the limitation of our minds Ah! Psychotronic streams Release the ghosts of the old gods The one resembling in the looking glass My demigod Look at his wings Slightly too big for the frame And those transparent eyes... I'd say the world will crush him down The thousand suns will die Before you figure that out How to handle the burden of those titanic wings Instead of trying to understand Enjoy this very moment of clarity As soon as you die ? the world dies with you Storm of voices Winds of brightness Rivers of gold Smell the sulphur Black light! The radiant prism glows upon the mirror walls Blindfold and chained fools Dragging their feet for slaughter
6. Silence Makes Noise (Eternity - The Mood)
Heartbeat arrhythmic Dusk, warm melting dusk Large room immensely high All around crowded porcelain Charming figures of glass Ballerinas shepherds popes Alchemic dreadful spells Wild formulas of the sorcerers Magical triangles Little green drowned man Old brown big leather-bound books Stuffed birds The swords long double-edged And the gorgets of gold The bats, withered roses Memories of childhood Voiceless broken flutes The devils, the saints, the clowns Dismal regiments of toy soldiers Awkward silhouettes of stone creatures Humdrum litanies of drunk-eyes gods Agamous devout knights in steel Paper masks and white flowers Dirty paintings blurred Amongst all those Slender shape of limp old man Playing the clavicord Old yellowed clavicord Playing incessantly eternally Persisting the immortal smile at white lips Immersed in the soft reverie Of this warm evening And the odd crowd packed all around Is listening still Nobly Subtly
7. Hell Is For Children
Blood of legions runs through my veins I am the hell of hells The night lights up the paths Silently with the thunder We'll destroy the sun I play with the angels Razor sharp blade Winged creatures frightened Stampede They run away loosing feathers And remains of dignity Gardens of eden I burn Vehemence voracious With the horde of wolves I come Profanity and death I spit forth In the silence of my madness I am the longing spirit The filthy mass around me, oh! Kills my joy Rips my heart out I wear the mourning for I lost the world So easily you play with evil You read the names aloud All your toys are black Rebellion for show Hell that you talk about Ain't no evil And let me tell you You have seen nothing of evil This hell is for children Hell is for children
8. Aesthesis
From the south, from the north Oh snake come forth! From the west, from the east Uprising the beast! The suns collapse in the heavens below! You deride of my words of aberrant kind I despise the squareness of your simple minds! The suns collapse in the heavens below! Batter my heart, oh three-personed god This is your time, other is no more So be careful what you do This is the last day of the joyless smiles The swinging pendulum shall knock your heads off! Rabid looks of your ordained priests Your tentacles obstinate Your angels fiery swords Shall touch me now! Your obtuse disunity embitters me Deep abomination to your phantasms Those children distressed They don't deserve what they will soon get All that you will teach them is how to loose the life As long as you perceive the stars as if they were above you You're still just a blind and deaf fool Batter my heart, oh three-personed god This is your time, other is no more So be careful what you do This is the last day of the joyless smiles The swinging pendulum shall knock your heads off!
