Premonitions
07:08

Come with me
Let’s contemplate
This scarlet sunset
Is doomed and so are we
Celebrate with me these last peaceful hours
Let’s solemnize the end
Pandora’s Box is open and there is no way back
The joy and laughter will be soon taken from us
We are still oblivious but the verdict has been made
Before long, the infernal joke is to be unveiled
The premonitions are ripping through me
Piercing the fabric of consciousness
Abhorrent visions smolder beneath the eyelids
And I cannot drive them away
The signs were all there in the open but we couldn’t decipher them
Even if we could – this would not have changed a thing
We are spiraling downwards unable to withstand the fate
We are spiraling downwards while the living envy the dead
The signs were all there in the open but we couldn’t decipher them
We are spiraling downwards while the living envy the dead

The Onset
06:30
|

Awakened from the unquiet slumber
Into the crumbling world
Emerging from the maze of nightmares
Into a living nightmare without end
Distorted faces everywhere
Grinning with delight, anticipating slaughter
Raucous voices are merging into a choir
Chanting the anthems of death and decay
The wind is tearing the flesh from the skulls
I can hear them coming, I can hear them coming
The smell of rot permeates the air
They are marching on, they are marching on
This can’t be real
This can’t be happening to me, I must be going mad
This can’t be real
What fiendish abyss, what warped fantasy has begotten these abominations
This can’t be real
This can’t be happening to me, I must be going mad
This can’t be real
One winter morning the snowflakes fell to the ground, melted and turned to blood

Departure

These walls remembered so many stories, so many tragedies
These walls turned out to be so fragile that the ringing silence shattered them to smithereens
Traitor by necessity, now I leave you undefended
There is no time for long goodbyes, the wind is getting stronger and the void between us is already insurmountable
Kaleidoscope of flamboyant memories
Vibrant phantasmagoria passing before my eyes
Imbibing the images like venom from the air
I am trying to etch in my mind every of these last seconds
Will I rejoice the freedom or will I regret the mistakes?
The die has been cast, it’s too late to hang back
Should I seek forgiveness or should I seek revenge?
The noose is tightening
Just one last glance, just one last breath
No one will mourn me, there is no more pretence
Nothing is left behind and nothing awaits ahead
Only the memories to relieve again and again

Letters From The Past
07:07
|

Echoes, only echoes in the void
We are standing on the threshold of eternity
Souls of glass scattered across the timeline
And still our goal is far, so far from reach
The lights are fading one by one like in a fever dream
The wordless song is filling the room
A pile of letters from the past remains unread
It’s getting darker around me
All the attempts to delay the unavoidable are left behind
In this vortex of swirling darkness I hold my head high
The world shuts down, the flags we have chosen are now ablaze
Breathing but lifeless, we need to rise higher, we need to be one step ahead of them
Gravity pulls me down and the stellar winds are dazzling
No more hiding in the blind spot, no more lurking in the shades
Letters from the past remain unread, and the fire licks the pages
Time to burn, time to burn, time to burn brighter than the sun

Hiraeth

What is the depth of the abyss
That can be reached in searched of light?
What is the price of self-deception?
The ghostlike clouds are closing in
I stand on an empty shore
And the last boat is sailing out of sight.
Your leaden skies under which I was reborn a thousand times
Still hold me captive, wrapped in a grey shroud
The inspiration was so ardent
In every verse I praised you
I always knew that the parting is inevitable
And you will be the last to laugh
Every time I close my eyes
The maelstrom of memories pulls me under
To the nebulous maze of empty streets
Where the otherworldly is always near
You were eerie in your splendor
Now you are sublime in your decay
The specters are still here
The specters are standing guard
The raging storm ripped off all the masks
You true face is now revealed in all its horror
Waves collide, the ragged horizon is falling apart
I can only hate you but you’ll always be a part of me
You were eerie in your splendor
Now you are sublime in your decay
The specters are still here standing guard
One day I will stand among them

Null

This is the place where it all started
This is the place where it will all end, where life and death are molded together
If you have failed – maybe I will not?
What if I still have a grain of belief, buried so deep that to reveal it I need to be torn apart?
Flocks of black birds are covering the sky
They came out of my nightmares and don’t intend to return
The blood that was spilled once is turning into scarlet darkness
In this pre dawn stillness I am counting down the heartbeats
Null: we are sojourners with no destination
Null: we are prisoners in a cage with no walls
Isn’t it obvious – we were lied to all this time
The hateful journey takes place within point zero
After the eternity spent in exile and ordeals
Someone will finally return home but it won’t be me
