01 - Joyless Trance Of Winter
Winter! The hatred rises in the cold
The way it sharpens all my senses
Will enable me to fill the void
All your countless and weak attempts denied
You run with new-fed terror
Pale as you kiss damnation
Pale because of your failure
Hurt where it hurts the most
Bleak as the courage falls
Hit by the winter sadness
An orphan of your own madness
I'll attack when you least expect it
And make you stare in awe
With blood-shut eyes at the perishing sun
Too many lies
Too many failures
In mist of yourself
You struggle in vain
Shivers! The way you shiver as you crawl
To see you tremble as your panic grows
Is a reward to in its purest form
Fearful you watch the end
As it reflects in the mirror
As you turn blue I vanish
In a joyful trance
Winter! The hatred rises in the cold
The way it sharpens all my senses
Will enable me to fill the void
All your countless and weak attempts denied
You run with new-fed terror
Pale as you kiss damnation
Pale because of your failure
Too many lies
Too many failures
In mist of yourself
You struggle in vain
02 - Carrier Of The Scars Of Life
Take me away
Into illusion
Take me away
From the rain
Wounded but not yet fallen
Still caving in
The marks from the dance with the devil
Still healing
Shallow but not yet empty
Cries left alone
The marks from a life lived in vain
Still sore
Take me away
Take me to places where hope is not
merely an illusion
Take me to levels where strength rises high
Take me to levels where there are no lies
Take me to places where life is for real
Where destiny's challenge has yet to be sealed
Still I awake to the sound of damnation
Torn from my sleep as it calls out my name
Take me away
Into illusion
Take me away
From the rain
I fall!
The fact that the curtain of life
is ready to fall
I drown!
The empty white canvas
is suddenly painted in red
03 - Frail Expectation
Entangled in misery I was
Condemned as I still bred frustration
Worshipped and nursed the suffering
My conscience all slain
I found myself making love to the pain
Final and true was my loss
And bleak was the sight of salvation
You helped me to clean all the wounds that I wore
Through you grew my sense
To witness life through another lens
Filled up with my own poison
Dug down in my own dirt
Filled up with my own poison
Bit by my inner snakes
Making love to the pain
Dragged through a storm of misery
Through you grew my sense
To witness life through another lens
04 - Cold Hand Of Retribution
The time has come to realise
The time has come to face it
Into the void
You tremble as you fall
Into the void
You face it
Still you fear me for purest reasons
Still you tremble 'cause vengeance still remains my call
You tried to attract me to the void
And faced you failure
Still breeding lies as you fall
Now I'm the one who is standing tall
The time has come to experience
The time has come to face it
Realise
Face it
I'll crush your visions with arrogant ease
I'll demonstrate hatred until your dreams begin to cease
To think you could tear me from my throne
Was to seal your doom
Weak you are standing cold
In fear as all my wrath unfolds
The time has come to realise
The time has come to face it
Into the void
You tremble as you fall
Into the void
You face it
05 - Watch You Fall
Hiding in the bottle
Away from all the tears of life
Watch you fall as you take a dive
And sinking to the bottom of the glass
Watch you fall as you're crawling helplessly
In the corner of despair
Watch you fall in the bottomless pit
To escape from the past
And your fears within
I release my anger
To the once I cannot see
My disease attracts me
To what is wrong for me
Hiding in the bottle
You always try to drown the guilt
Watch you fall as your life gives in
You're strangled by the lack of redemption
Watch you fall as the poison spreads within
And the cold hand prepares for the end
Watch you fall into the savage domain
'cause you can't face life
As it was meant to be
Turning away
Into sadness
Taken away
Into madness
I release my fury
To the ones I cannot see
As my consciousness tells me
What is wrong for me
See me fall
Hiding in the bottle
Away from all the tears of life
Watch you fall as you take a dive
And sinking to the bottom of the glass
Watch you fall as you're crawling helplessly
In the corner of despair
Watch you fall in the bottomless pit
To escape from the past
And your fears within
Turning away
Into sadness
Taken away
Into madness
06 - The Architect Of My Downfall
High on destruction
She enters the room
And watches with mercyless eyes
And strikes med with sheer desperation
I empty my glass filled with flames
And she takes me away
Drags me towards mirrors so cold
I dive to the depths of convultion
Tearful I stand as she smiles
At the sight of my rivers
That run down my wrists
I stare towards the endless depths
Of my own self
Of my downfall
Downfall
Cursed be your name!
Cursed be your madness!
Deceiver and murderer of hope
In venomous intoxication I felt
The punishing strenght of the rope
As you strangled by faith
Shred it to pieces
And left me to bury my pride
Shameful I hide
You left me to drown
In senseless oblivion
I stare towards the endless depths
Of my own self
Of my downfall
Downfall
As the curtain falls
I fall down with it
To the endless depths
Of my downfall
Drown me
In the flood from my wrists
07 - Drink Away The Demons
Drink with me and let your demons loose
Disengaged from all the poison
You'll see your fear in flames
I raise my cup of pure madness
As I'm slowly fading out
I feel the silence
And surrender as my heart gives in
I sink to unknown levels
My salvation is painted before my eyes
But it appears so savage
O sink to unknown levels
And a smile is being shaped
As my lips turn cold
Come
Now that the smell of a thousand winters
Threatens
It's time to let go and join me now
08 - Point Zero
Hear the madman scream
As the pain whistles within
See the madman's face
As he understands
From the left to the right to the front
Only to remain at point zero
From the depths of perversion
He watches as time draws near
Hear the madman scream
As the pain whistles within
See the madman's face
As he understands
09 - Dry Well Of Life
Seel shelter in the void
And vanish slowly in the heart-felt terror
Sterile is your thoughts
But not your needs
Attempting to be brave
But still a slave
A possessed servant
A slave to the blade
Burning panic, nothing more to gain
For behold
Your precious love is slain
Seek the lies you hail
Seek the lies you left alone
Nailed to the ground
Seek the lies you hail
Seek the lies you left alone
Leaves you no traces to feed of
Leaves you no traces to feed of
Now that desperation runs you down
Leaves you to be raped by the dreams
Which slit and shred
Yet another week attempt
To reject the knife
And to strenghten yourself
From the source of all life
An endless struggle to get rid of the lie
But you are down on your knees
Because the source has run dry
10 - The Face Of Jealousy
I will sew shut the lips of the liars mouth
And silence who fails to see
A clean hit to the head of the ignorant whore
As a sign of how much you mean
If it's so easy how come you struggle still
To gane some attention?
All your words so dated and pathetic
Feeding still from the plate of jealousy
Oh how you wish to climb up to my level
And spark some sorely needed light
Into a life so drained of everything you want
And ridden with prejustice
You never could face your own incompitence
You try to choke your envy as I watch
I embrace the silence as your words die out
Now that you're hanging gasping
From the rope of guilt
Silence the one
You are the one
Who sorely needed the light
I will sew shut the lips of the liars mouth
And silence who fails to see
A clean hit to the head of the ignorant whore
As a sign of how much you mean
If it's so easy how come you struggle still
To gane some attention?
All your words so dated and pathetic
Feeding still from the plate of jealousy
