Staring down into the depths
Subconscious has taken my life Breathing this foul and dank air Eyes cannot penetrate the light No room to panic or move I pray my death will come soon My sorrows breeding on my fear The tombs of one thousand lie near Soon to diminish am I? Lying there, minutes from my death The nausea breeds on my fear Calling to the victims of fate The dead cannot answer my calls My body falls to the depths As darkness has engraved my mind No visions or solution Gagged for air deeper below I sink... |

A Sea of twisted shapes
Seek salvage from this carnage Frustration deep inside Write in utmost rage A tortuous embrace is embedded in their minds As hands from above grasp Emptiness they find Paralysed from neck down Like fluid drinks Pressures increase on flesh Excruciating pain... These mindless thoughtless fools Corrupted in mind Crying out for the death Innocence they find... The Silence looms before us Free of trouble and strife While bodies pile in hundreds Free from the gift of Life Drown in Misery Deadly Inner Sense This place of doom A sacred shrine Eternal Punishment for all time The deadly inner sense... |

As you stare into the depths of darkness
Illusions of your mind pressured by horror Standing on a plain of desolation The streams of frozen mist are shattered by the sun Travel through the uncaring skies Prepare for this defeat Once you're dead your eyes are shut forever Is it just the darkness that greets our pleas? Trapped in my skull, sanities locked inside Can't express my feelings, the pain I must hide My body possessed by an unseen force Crippled for life As I try to speak my voice... No physical pain you will feel Is this mental insanity real? No future an obscenity Why was I chosen to suffer? Hoping I wake up and the curse has left my soul Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter I writhe and grit my teeth in anger... why...? Not allowed to make decisions If only I could tell them all I can think In my afterlife, I'll rise again Destroy all the ones who laughed Kill them all... Able to think, flex my limbs, talk and socialise, live my life |

Kneel on the ground and pray to the Lord
But will he hear your prayers Will he hear your call? As you sit in the Church And the madman speaks... Listen with awe at the lies he'll preach Only the mindless will listen and obey World-wide Wars are caused by this uproar Pray to rest your Conscience - For the sins you have done Where is your God now as you're dying alone? Brutal wounds cut deep No miracles to heal Watch your life now fade He's not there to help you die Raised upon repulsive lies From the time we were born Driven into heads holy laws Cast into a circle of preaching vomit All decent holy people Their conscience free Massive neurosis and impending doom And the holy power will be silent (Repeat verses 2, 3, 4) |

Talk with friends of god sometimes You'll see its not that simple any more somehow Don't say its not that simple any more somehow Save your weak demands for one who cares No more can I fake this You'll see its not that simple anymore somehow Don't say its not that simple anymore somehow Fear demands its say, it's where I've failed, its sad to say Faith will find a way, accept the shames, a loosing game See the hands that wave their last goodbye Talk with friends of god sometimes You'll see its not that simple any more somehow Don't say its not that simple any more somehow Fear demands its say, it's where I've failed, its sad to say Faith will find a way, accept the shames, a loosing game Fear demands its say, it's where I've failed, its sad to say Faith could find a way, accept the shames, a loosing game |

There's two arms you could break
How low can you descend Approach the subject kindly You've chosen to defend Those tears are not for real They're falling on command A harsh decision maybe You're living on remand Your mind is thinking madness Much more you could not take Before you fall on bad days And lower your defence as always... Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness My stomach tends to fold When I speak of your name Accept that you're regretful Accept that you're not safe Your life is contradiction A life that's bruised and torn I've chosen toleration You've chosen to dismiss as always Suddenly demanding, the truth is always worse when you are Sober Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness Suddenly demanding, choosing not to feed on all this sadness "this sadness is my own" |

Like a fever, fever - inside of me
Like a fever, fever - inside of me Stand fast, faithful one See the moon and not the sun but I...... All I need is a simple reminder Breakdown frail affairs Turn from the elusive starts but I...... All I need is a simple reminder Guilt is feeding, feeding, inside I'm cold In depth grasp the chains Struggle as the waters gain but I...... All I need is a simple reminder Observe the formation fight until the battle's won But I...... All I need is a simple reminder There's no rule to say you'll cry alone Just find the strength to help you carry the load Reverse the frown and let the power surge But when alone you cannot resist the urge Feel it, feel it, like the pain of dying Feel it, feel it, like the pain of dying Hold on face to face damaged by the sad disgrace but I...... All I need is a simple reminder Twisting the knife in vain end the grief but who will gain but I...... All I need is a simple excuse |

Understand procedure, understand war
Understand rules, regulations I don't understand sorry You must feel frustration 'Cause your mind feels such temptation And your ways appear a total lack of faith You may feel elation At your body's recreation And the joy you need, restricted by one thought Are you forever - Loss of purpose in a passive life Are you forever - Pale, regarded as a waste of time High times are courageous But in truth they suit no purpose Induced, reduced, unable and afraid Can you feel rejection And a lack of motivation And the joy you need, restricted and delayed Are you forever - Loss of purpose in a passive life Are you forever - Pale, regarded as a waste of time I don't really know what sorry means, I've been sorry all my life I'm sorry I was born, that's what my mother told me I don't really know what sorry means I've been sorry all my life I don't really know what sorry means |

You'd love to be so far away
It's not a long way to go, it's gonna end in your pain Greet open handed stranger Create the turmoil, you're not sane I want the last one to go to embers will revive, So stay You want to live a lifetime each and every day You've struggled before, I swear to do it again You've told it before till I, until I'm weakened and sore Seek hallowed land You'd love to see right through my veins The pale reflection tells all, predominations sustain Crawl over land or mountain in sight the ultimate escape A silhouette subsiding, enticed unable to relate You want to live a lifetime each and every day You've beckoned before, you'll never do it again You've prayed before who are the prayers for Seek hallowed land Seek hallowed land Begone the fools that lead me - I need not to know accept reclining spirit I need to endure You try to live a lifetime each and every day In this short time of promise, you're a memory...... |

Coming back today, the pounding thoughts relay
It's a time that's for myself I'm laying low, strife is gaining slow A kind of anguish I don't need...... When I see your frown, hurt will put me down If I could see a light shining Is this borrowed time maybe a final time That I can see a light shining Will you make it slow, pure evil makes it slow I know you're brandishing the sign Dare I take a chance? In this circumstance Or will I leave without a hope When you seal me fate sorrow turns to hate If I can see a light shining Is this borrowed time maybe a final time That I can see a light shining What one man makes is there for one to take A single handed fall from grace Hearts beating just, beating till the last A draining feeling's all that I know When I see your frown, it becomes my frown If I could see a light shining Is this borrowed time maybe a final time?

A spiral movement, the ultimate mystery
Will you show....will you show who you are? It's the truth that untrue suspicion is spreading like a disease Do you know if it is real? Voices appear inside my brain Their need, to set me free Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong Encourage the madness they welcome impurity I don't know....I don't know....who I am! Fallen blind to the cruel hysteria that's constantly challenging Me, all alone...all alone... can't be real Voices approve I can't relate Their need to celebrate Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong Voices approve, the quest begins Fuel for the shadowkings Onward they lead before the dawn Teach me what's right and wrong |

And it crashes in front of me I see the clouds divide Will you stay or try to leave The time you're looking at the door And you're thinking to walk right through I want to ignore I only wish that it passes soon Hearts beating... I raise a sunken smile As I serve the ones who served What can I achieve As you steal the air I breathe It's a cruel misfortune Forbidding us to see When stories may collide It's a sad state of mind Hearts beating... Hearts beating for the last time Hearts beating it is a state of mind Hearts beating for the last time The peace you cannot find |

Approaching a silence, a blur of subsidence
Time may heal all troubles, is that what I've found? Joy entices all, until death's lonely shroud But I know it's forever...... Praying for a change Our lives leading onwards, the essence is stronger Memories of life drifting further away I must doubt that where There's a will there's a way...... But I know, it's forever Life is all the pain we endeavour |

Innocent, beneath this sorry veil see 'you have'
Plenitude, the sweetness of a new born child Its lost deserted reverence For my life and the stars creation For my life it's the same rejection Lost in life, I'll blame it all on you Loss of hope, falling situation Readapt, death is life's temptation Dying slow, I'll blame it all on you Resurrect, the harsh tones of our self contempt recall Fail to breathe, in sight no normal state of mind In time the hour will fail to chimc They bettray, uphold the law, accuse the future |

Into a depth of haze, I'll see you dead
The colossal rains flow like the breeze A sheltered scenery as the arms outstretch for me You'll never walk again (In a sorry sea of pale sound uplifting here, Dark waters flow free through the ashways of silent dreams) Brought back from centuries, creation seen The colossal rains mortal spirits drained Can this be real, what the frozen rains reveal You'll never walk again (hear cries, way of reach and shallow the silver breathes, The sun wakes the sleeping heat and drowns in a mass disease) |

The cold caressing rains The reaping arms of silence, evolve for us to see Overruled by a lack of paitence, it's untold, it's untold That's the secret that has mad us Constructive powers flow desire The last intense degree Scratching at the surface, for all of us to hear Gather around, the secrets that you know And the speech that makes blood flow Blame desire, you'll blame revenge Standing at the solemn shores Where blessed fools are born Happiness is wasted, waster blood and tears Re-abuse infiltration, it's untold, it's untold Raping life from other nations The ritual explosive fires Rewarding enemies Shells of empty faces, crying to be free Dying free, the spirits gather round While the soul lays underground Will the voices call again? |

A fallen time that's bygone
A crude elite that's from a distant zone You don't know if It's the truth you told Anger looks on the quiet dreaming Seals the sense incandescent ones Hold back desire for danger A bet you lose, you'll have no way to turn I see the man who lives and breathes corruption Into a circle that you call you own Don't run away, from the pain, A claim that you deal with A power game, from within, Impossible for you to see this Laid down the laws of deceit The ones who cherish are the ones who'll go Into the ashes of a tortured world Only in mind's eye can you see a light Harmony break, dark awakes, in old eyes - the trouble, feel it Here to stay, mark the way, improvise the judgment hearing Anger looks on the quiet dreaming Seals the scense incandescent ones All remains of the glowing embers is a bleak cold irrelevance |

A mass of breathing souls
For times are desolate Passing judgement on my sentence As I perceive my dying day Gime me a promise. The word I will never hear Sympathies forging, stalling in me I'm closing all the doors While my frown remians Until I reach my golden haven I'll let the sadness pass my way Preaching the words of angels, to a darker side of man My halo's fading with all the sin I deal Have I been banished, 'a fogery' Sear, the tender feeling as my solar glow dies And I'm waiting for my sweet hell You'll wait for 'your' hell, I wish you hell... In time the hate corrodes Our brains are desolate And this prison which we serve in Will be a witness to our pains Preaching the words of angels, to a darker side of man |

Come taste a century of hatred
Free from the sanity of them Is there something, that you see in all of them Non-believer, a time will come, but when ? All you worship in life, destroyed by human hands, Spare the trouble you feel, save a breath for your next Spit on the laws that I made for you Betray the treasures within hearts Is there something in death that you think reflects your life? Come taste the loss that I feel, challenge paradise All you worship in life destroyed by human hands, Save the trouble you feel, a treasure with no price It's disturbing, the joy I feel, but I feel it more |

The power of a weak mind can't conceal or captivate It's lost in a bleak scope of fragmented ways Eternal non-events occur throughout its poor days You're lost forever unable to see yourself The thoughts arising, there's no disguising where you've been... Reveal to me, your mind's identify You'll pay, pay for the feelings that you feed me Don't hold on to what you call a life... Anger compels a force of weakness or fear I'll promise no forgiveness for the rest of my years A negative release, subliminal urge Unwish declining, grey thoughts reviving all the way... Your fallen prey, a loser pays You'll pay for the feelings that you feed me Don't hold on to what you call a life... |

Closed the room where the last is buried Rise or fall at your master's request You're unable to accept redemption I don't know about a true belief here With the 'lost' it's the same as always All I want is the same, a true belief You can't wait to become a memory With the 'weak' it's the same as always Stand confused lack of comprehension, Re-aroused by a thought of madness And I know that the truth is always right But it's time to search for lies You're the only I try to save But the blood spills from your veins All I want is the same, a true belief Call counting time till the end Death's wicked smile never fails The curse is cast, you've lost the past Forevermore, a candle burns here no more I don't know about a century of life When the love of generations die I can see no good in taking your own life When any moment death calls...

Illusions of your mind pressured by horror Standing on a plain of desolation The streams of frozen mist are shattered by the sun Travel through the uncaring skies Prepare for this defeat Once you're dead your eyes are shut forever Is it just the darkness that greets our pleas? Trapped in my skull, sanities locked inside Can't express my feelings, the pain I must hide My body possessed by an unseen force Crippled for life As I try to speak my voice... No physical pain you will feel Is this mental insanity real? No future an obscenity Why was I chosen to suffer? Hoping I wake up and the curse has left my soul Attempts at speech are drowned in laughter I writhe and grit my teeth in anger... why...? Not allowed to make decisions If only I could tell them all I can think In my afterlife, I'll rise again Destroy all the ones who laughed Kill them all...

Kneel on the ground and pray to the Lord
But will he hear your prayers Will he hear your call? As you sit in the Church And the madman speaks... Listen with awe at the lies he'll preach Only the mindless will listen and obey World-wide Wars are caused by this uproar Pray to rest your Conscience - For the sins you have done Where is your God now as you're dying alone? Brutal wounds cut deep No miracles to heal Watch your life now fade He's not there to help you die Raised upon repulsive lies From the time we were born Driven into heads holy laws Cast into a circle of preaching vomit All decent holy people Their conscience free Massive neurosis and impending doom And the holy power will be silent (Repeat verses 2, 3, 4) |

Lying deep in comfort, I awake now I cannot believe this tale I cannot believe the echoes... or your petty lies Take away our world, thrown into the stars Take away our world, worship all that's ours Cry at echoes in your heart Lying in the ocean until the end of time Solitude embracing us Suicide our hearts embrace Life and death become the race Take away the world, hold it to the sky Take away the world, pity your demise Array of fear, controls me now And I cry - in dark despair Take me away Take away our world Take me away Take away our world |

from Paradise Lost - Shades Of God (2001)
Plead forgiveness father
All my troubles fade from view Pale the four walls surround Have I madness in my eyes? While mortals watch the day Our fear will pave the way Hidden until the end See a room of crimson Nothing I have seen before Coldness wrapped around me Struggle not for hell is here While tyrants close the doors Each one will know the score Sorrow takes it all Saved the sick of life's bliss Charity of utmost guilt Fear the blinded temper It has lied it's way to you... While mortals watch the day And light has turned to grey What lies up ahead Light shines into your eyes That I'm blinded by, your eyes Mortal throughout the days Until we're saved (...we're saved) Turning to black I can't see through this No option from turning away We will see another day (Turning away... will we see another day) |
