At The Gates

My life fades, my visions dim
All that remains are memories

I remember a time of chaos
A time of war
As men began to feed on man
Only the scavengers survived
Gone now

Gone now, swept away
For reasons long forgotten
Touched of a blase
Which engulfed them all
A firestorm of fear

The answer is written in their bones
"All life ends"

I remember an old man
Griping my wrist, he was dying

"Imagine", he said,
"Looking into the eyes of a nova
The bursting flames
The roar of it's energy
Frintly echoing down the corridors of time"
Whispering:

"All life ends"

"Death", he said,
"Is like a bolt of lightning
Light cast upon every secret
Just for a moment, till the last spark of life fades
And all is dark..."

Then he breathed out his last breath into my ear
His gaze already way out among the stars...

Among the ruins of the past
I shelter from the storm
My mind is numb from the loneliness
And the rain that never stops

This wasteland, once a beautiful place
Where trees and flowers grew
Where deer, and squirells had their home
Now rotting are their bones

Where raging waters grind the earth
I go to end my days
The sea that witnessed mankinds birth
Shall watch us die again

Black and deep
Empty of life
As in the heaven so below
The sun has now forever set
And bids our time to go

Go!

I am tired
And I fear not
The cold that now descends
As light grows dim, I bid farewell

All life ends

I am leaving now, my body stiff
Just watching for a while
That rigid shell, so small and weak
A corpse on a broken cliff

The stars are calling me now
With distant, speechless voices
And caught by a wind I drift away
And nothing calls me to stay

I am ridint the wind that has no name
The fire that burns without a flame
Caught by the spell on which all depends

"All life ends"

The answer is written in my bones
"All life ends"

Slit open the skies and let out my stars

The night dies inside me
She's got ways to make me crawl
I respond like a machine

The sun shines from a thin sky
And these feelings they die
In the minds of the blind
Patterns red of love so dead

Under the floors, the dark woods they come back
Dark they needn't be, but your virgin blood is dead
The spark faded and gone

All the stars in her skin
The repulsion as I sin
She's roaring through my soul
All dressed in thoughts of flesh

With a beautiful wound I was born
It was all that I knew to own

Stardrowned

All the stars in her skin
The repulsion as I sin
She's roaring through my soul
Sears my nakedness my flesh

Stardrowned

Ornaments in silent darkness,
the image of man now torn from its structure

The smell of need,
the dwarfed soul of man,
attuned only to flesh
suffering from frustration

Alien to our own spirits
We're naked even in death
The dawn is yet to come
to fill us with knowledge

Pulsating waves of colour,
bleeding off into the black
A whisper of red screams through the night
The architects and the flesh

Look the herons in the greenbilled water
Their wet-ash wings wear medallions of patience
We drift on...
We have stories as old as the great seas
Break through the chest
Flying out the mouth
Noisy tongues that once were silenced
All the oceans we contain, coming to light

All the dark birds rush from the river
Leaving only the stillness of their language
There are no clocks to measure time
But the beating of our single hearts
You will know it is winter
By the way your dreams tremble like stones
When the wind comes through
The wind, full of hearts that beat quick and strong

From cold storms I emerge to inferno
Kiss me with your insanity, bless me with your plague
Burn through my head

The psychic treasures in the arena to find
Dead symbols that walk through the dreams of man
Non-divine, burning souls of red

Tongues of insanity, here I am
Lick me free from my dark past
And open my heart for your joy

I seek eternity where it lies to be found
My life will not end 6 feet under the ground
No rebirth in heaven where eternal sleep awaits
We must seek immortality beyond the seven gates

Make love with me this one last time
This one dead dream
And rot we can as gods
Together in a distant hell

Burn me with your tongues of love
Burn me free from my bitterness and hate

So let the light devour men
And eat them up with blindness

Non-divine, a restless soul
Worm, goat, eater of gods

Burn me with the tongues of your love
Burn me free from my hate

Set me on fire
Again and again

Catch the rainbow if you can
It will always be ahead of you

Years passing swifter than you ever thought
Today will soon be behind you
And the future remains out of reach

Hunting the sun, setting at the horizon
When shadows threat to swallow your weak soul
The key of light, the solution of all
I saw it clearly behind the veil of reality
And as I dreamed the lilies white
In the shade of a birch
They withered in the frost of awakening

Fiery the angels fell from the spires of my fortress of youth
Silent explosions in my universe of pain

Appease my hunger, defeat my solitude
And let me follow where daydreams go
When ambitions fall

Watch the sky, there is proof of your transcience
The stars that saw the birth of our ancestors
Shall watch our descendants last steps on earth
So, unnoticed we will pass away,
Like a flickering in the perpetual chaos

The timebird rose from it's nest of bones
And thrust it's beak in my eye
With the beat of charging wings
My transcience was confirmed

Time perhaps for a salutary sleep
I still long for that silent land of dreams
Where the flames expire, where the spark fades
And hunger is born again

When the yellow dies under the velvet thoughts
Blood-bubbles nestled in thorns

I have travelled through suns,
And the darkness of the end
Now I surrender to the void
And join with the pulse of the universe

The world burns with worms of fire
The world burns

The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
We were not born to follow
We don't need your guiding light

I tear the skies with my bare hands
There is no death for me
The world burns with worms of fire

Sun or animal, star or beast
Alone all the way to the heart of Christ

I'm free to die when I wish
I'm born from scarlet songs
And when the time is right
I shall forever walk alone

The beauty in twisted darkness
Raped by the light of Christ
Worlds end, through a thousand suns

Jesus, no prince of my starved Hell to be
No way, my world it dies with me

Far beyond your eyes they seek
Beyond bonds of stars and skies
The kingdom where nothing dies

I am the stars burning evil in your heart
Beyond good and evil, we will never part
For every man and woman is a star
'Cause I burn inside you all, we will never part

God
Creator
Deceiver, you are the sinner

I cast you down from your throne of lies
And accuse you of a thousand sins
Perished in the flames of what you call Hell
I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever

Forever!

A thousand Colors invade
All different, all dark
A black sun is now rising
Reality unfolds

Kingdom gone
Kingdom gone

Absolute Spirit, we revolt against thee
We are the serpent gods, We all spawned from you
I am the new messiah, and I will baptize you in sin
We wanted a place in your creation but you wouldn't let us in

With one caress I draw the life from your flesh
With one stroke I render your bones to dust

Kingdom gone
Kingdom gone

In the light of the black sun
The seas of starvation start to boil
A new dimension is born
We die, we learn and are born again

Inverted we've lived our lives
From our death to our birth
Now the liars are awakening
We are the children of God's curse

With our caress you greet the slaves of your creation
With one stroke you punish us for your sins

Kingdom gone
Kingdom gone
Kingdom fucking gone

The black gate is closed

Inverted we've lived our lives
From our death to our birth
Now the liars are awakening
We are the children of God's curse

I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever

A thousand colors invade
All different, all dark
A black sun is now rising
Reality unfolds

Kingdom gone
Kingdom fucking gone

The sun sets in a sea of love
Stab your demoniac smile in my brain
Seduce me with the blood of the sunsets
Lock me out from my body and it's pain

The golden wine of the sun
deep rich purple, white and red
The crimson vintage of life and love
I'm drunk on the blood of the sunsets

I watch the burning clouds
fighting to get hold of the sun

Take heed, I am born, god of the twilight
I am forever

Proud, naked, full of sin
Born where the flames never die
Lost in the garden of stars

"We used to sit up there for ages.
It was like we were giving birth to a new world.
A child of our spirits,
Wild with light, alive with colors."

"Have you ever considered true freedom?
Real true freedom.
We were gods, burning in the eternal twilight.
We were the end forever."

Beyond our sanity, a paradise for all to find

Blood of sunsets, the golden wine of the sun

City of screaming statues
Your soul will grow to understand and respect this place
It will be with your in your heart, on your journey

The gates of city lies before you
The temple of truth whispering their waves
Chase your visions, slay your fears
What moves the truth is the sound of your thoughts

Scream

The struggle of the soul
Depends on the strength of your will
Among the twisted shapes of your madness
You will find your light and your genius
In the city where the statues they scream
For their truth to be real

The dreams and the visions
The reality and the light
Within the soul of the city
May be whatever you wish it to be
In the city where the statues they scream
For their truth to be real

Stand up and turn your back on reality
Lie down and let your dreams attack
The silence of a soul that is true
Is the silence that you lack
Feel the strength pulsating through you
As the gates they close behind you

The answers lie within the city
Within the light
In the sunrise of your soul, time is the key
The music of the truth, now behold

Rise and crush them

The gates of city lies before you
The temple of truth whispering their waves
Chase your visions, slay your fears
What moves the truth is the sound of your thoughts

The statues they scream
For their truth to be real
Within the walls of the city
Where death aint the end

The music of the truth, the light of the end

Clouds, black of deep nights
Dim my sight, block my eyes
From the truth, from the flesh

Black in torment steeped
A force worse than Hell unleashed
Let us pray for the final twilight

Crawling up from the swamps of corrupted flesh
slowly stinking
suffocate me

The night screams out the darkness
The pain of dying worlds

Crush

Sunlight seems a blood smear
Niight comes, blood-black
Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh
Religion rots your mind, "God" will free you of your soul

Clouds, black of deep nights
Dim my sight, block my eyes
From the truth, from my own flesh

My thoughts come crushing against the walls of the hard
blank
Steel walls of your faith
Don't question the light, black of a thousand lies
It's everything

Black, in torment steeped
A force worse than Hell unleashed
Let us pray for the final twilight

Sunlight seems a blood smear
Niight comes, blood-black
Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh
Religion rots your mind, "God" will free you of your soul

Empty streets fill my mind
Autumn has come to numb me blind

The end it reaches out for me
My soul still calling to be free

I want the energy to breathe, to clear thier poisoned minds
The energy i am, to end thier pointless lives

Dark horizon, darkest sky
No light is present
Freezing winds of lands unamiable
Haunts the wastes of Neverwhere

Life doesn't belong here

Limitless, unmeasurable - time is not
As the end so is the beginning
Always was, always will be
This is where the journey ends
This is what no one returned to tell

Neverwhere

Life doesn't belong here

Dark thoughts, darkest mind
no light is present
I now put aside my crown of thorns
Time has come to join eternity
And rest my eyes on a darker shade of color

Eager to be erased
Innumerable stare behind frozen eyes
Wanderers strayed from eternity's path
longed for to come, to rest at last

Limitless, unmeasurable - time is not
As the end so is the beginning
Always was, always will be
This is where the journey ends
This is what no one returned to tell

Dimensions warped in times of motionless storm
Now frozen worlds collide
As the womb of cold opens wide
Childhood has passed
Now birth will come of ages dreamed of by none
Now awaited, the circle to close
We wait for the call, Lazaraus come out

Now awaited, the circle to close
We wait for the call - Lazaraus come out
We wait in the shadows of Neverwhere

Ride the wind
My aggressions mirrored themselves in her eyes
As the blade was ripping up her insides

Her eyes
Stabbing and stabbing
My love fell dead to the floor
She's not alive anymore!
Together with sheds of my sanity
Dead in the abscence of agony

She's still here with me
As Hell turns to ice

Her dead eyes staring deep into my soul
Into the carved out hole
Sweeping forth, the wind without no name

My mind is raped by insanity

Now her blood flows in my veins
Her heart beats in my chest
Her voice screaqms within my mind
The wind without no name

Ride the wind

Now time itself touches my soul
It's ice cold breeath in my ear
Oh, "God" I'm sorry, I lost control
I slayed love disguised as fear

The fire still burns within my soul
No wind to put it out

Now time itself touches my soul
It's ice cold breeath in my ear
Oh, "God" I'm sorry, I lost control
I slayed love disguised as fear

Eternal, now you live a dead lie
Plague years, a walk down the trail of misery

Put fire to your soul
Set it ablaze

A lunatic music, the end of flock kingdom
Sheep, you thirst for our insanity

Windows, sharp, cold
Wrap your psyche in blankets of pain
No more light of day
We're the windows to your insanity

Screaming, roaring, we'll alter your reality
Dancing razors cut your sanity

Windows, sharp, cold
Wrap your psyche in blankets of pain
Fuck you, light of worlds
We're the windows to your insanity

Reflections in the shattered glass
Singing songs of blasphemey for your soul

Feel the vibrating words of power
Magick the portral, language the key
As my journey within begins

Once again the gates stand open before me
Time has come for me to climb the tree of life
And sail the seas i know so well

I search the winding mases of my mind
And travel through thoughts left behind
As the waves they carry my ship into the air
A way out, but not back, I must find

I can't go on living in this dead world
crawling through this life I hate
I won't be thrown to the wolves again
I escape through magick as darkness it falls

But now the danger lurks within
Through my mind and beyond
My task is insane
And i don't know how my body will respond
But my ship is a strong on
It has carried me through storms worse than this

I can't go on living in this dead world
Crawling through the life I hate

I hear music and it guides me
On my quest to infinity
A harbor appears within the mist
It's lighthouse, a sunrise
For a soul starved of light

I try to focus my mind on it
But something is blocking the way
But one day this city I'll reach

I now return to balance again
As mind and body unites
And I close the temples of my mind
Lutis Nitra

Find powers within

Upon the seas of starvation

Precious Flame of life, so Elusive
A spark being trampled to ashes
And spread by the winds of time

This garden is a silent one
Nothing moves but thoughts
The thoughts of those in silent memory
This they know, this they understand
There is darkness everywhere, outside

Morningstar forever set in Zenith
Uriel ruler of worlds
Saraquel set over spirits

the repulsive truth of this dark domain
The answer echos throughout infinity
There are so many of us here
And we are all so lonely
We are among millions and still alone
We are in hell, and yet so cold
Gardens of Grief

There's no god to punish us, and yet we suffer
Throughout so many lifetimes in this garden I have dwelt

God
Creator
Deceiver, you are the sinner

I cast you down from your throne of lies
And accuse you of a thousand sins
Perished in the flames of what you call Hell
I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever

Forever!

A thousand Colors invade
All different, all dark
A black sun is now rising
Reality unfolds

Kingdom gone
Kingdom gone

Absolute Spirit, we revolt against thee
We are the serpent gods, We all spawned from you
I am the new messiah, and I will baptize you in sin
We wanted a place in your creation but you wouldn't let us in

With one caress I draw the life from your flesh
With one stroke I render your bones to dust

Kingdom gone
Kingdom gone

In the light of the black sun
The seas of starvation start to boil
A new dimension is born
We die, we learn and are born again

Inverted we've lived our lives
From our death to our birth
Now the liars are awakening
We are the children of God's curse

With our caress you greet the slaves of your creation
With one stroke you punish us for your sins

Kingdom gone
Kingdom gone
Kingdom fucking gone

The black gate is closed

Inverted we've lived our lives
From our death to our birth
Now the liars are awakening
We are the children of God's curse

I proclaim your kingdom as lost forever

A thousand colors invade
All different, all dark

Reality unfolds

Kingdom fucking gone
