1.
Swimming in a sea of dark recollections, I saw blood running like an everflowing stream. I was deafened by the nocturnal silence and I found myself as the last one on earth. Dig deep, rummage through your core the essence from beyond. Unearth, open the old wound, your fate is cursed! I chose the left hand path as the slaughter of my soul. I was sent where no life dwells, into eternity. Now my remains are into the grave after a winterlong trek. I'm now just a shadow in the deep, fornever laid to rest. I escaped that realm of chaos and abided all the dreams you dread. The spectral sorrows had haunted my soul in a nightmare made flesh.
2.
Ceased greatly far from deliverance, the harrowing aeon persists. I leave behind an empty vessel; a hollow grail. Placed high above on the charnel ground, the excarnation begins. Sacred scavengers surround the mortal part, left to decay. Scattered by vultures On the top of the tower of silence Surrounded by carrion birds My remains sustain other lives Scattered by vultures The traces are left to decompose Surrounded by birds of prey A burial in the sky My journey has already started So have no grief for me I was condemned to reincarnation The endless cycle carries on! Through consciousness I will travel leaving merely flesh, blood and bone The stream of life and rebirth goes on, and karma is my judge Mighty creatures of the sky, emanation of the wisdom deities Foresee the future and gather the gods; guide me to a higher realm
3.
After a long time of dreadful torment I reached the end of the line I put a stop to my appalling grief I came to a halt. I took the one and only thing I had left, I had the final word and thought I could finally rest but ended up... Inhumed upside down condemned to an inverted burial. It came to me that I had failed an unforgiving god I've always scorned and now I have a new debt to pay for, bygone! Weak and pathetic servants of a counterfeit deity enforce their law. My bodily relics end up... Inhumed upside down, condemned to an inverted burial. Inhumed upside down condemned to eternal oblivion. Immured in the recesses of the earth guilty of blasphemy with a stake through my heart Cursed by those who claim punishment but the execration will be cast over them.
4.
Time was I stood as thou dost now And viewed the dead as thou dost me Ere long thou shalt lie as low as I And others stand and look at thee. These are my grave desires... Farewell my friends. Death is a debt to nature due… Farewell my friends I loved so dear I’ve gone and left this vale of tears. My end you know, my grave you see, Prepare yourselves to follow me. You’ve been born to die, As I’ve been dying so long Hear my voice call… These are my grave desires... Farewell my friends
5.
The almighty sun disappeared, And the earth cried in pain for its son the rivers dried up and filled with consternation and dread. A sullen sky beheld The growth of an appalling plague And the ancient hill of elation Became the gate to eternity. From the valley of distress, into a void An overwhelming silence befell As the impending fate arose the path of candor was dragged and led into a void. The ground opened from its core And shed streams of blood, The threshold of sacrifice Emerged as deliverance. Feel the sense of despair And hear the screams of desolation A cold wind devours the land Beneath a cloak of despondency. Hear the cries, feel the grievous air inside your soul.
