A black flash enlightens the silence
The noise of solitariness
A tempest to disrupt your windless cave
A dreadful abyss to prevail
In rooms without roofs
Within the walls forever doomed
In rooms without roofs
Behind the veil lies the truth
Dead rain seals a dried out mouth
An umbral wall beclouds all light
But frees you from the fetters of the past
And tears to tatters all the dark

It´s the end of the storm
Spitting and shaking is over
Terrified eyes
Try to gasp
Heavy breath burning throat
Ear splitting silence
All glass broke
Glittering ground
Cutting and blinding and laughing at you
It´s the end of the storm
Not the end of the war
Bedded in broken glass
Awaiting the next attac

The Hatch
06:08
|

They rise from ancient ruins
They lust, they crave, they gather at the sky
Like the mighty roar of thunder in the distance
Like a thundercloud they subjugate the light
As you look inward you sense damnation in the air
Slowly you raise your eyes towards the trembling sky
Like a swarm of locusts they ́re pouring down on you,
destroy the harvest of your life,
take everything you love
And as you ́re entering this cruel dance, dead bodies falling to the floor
You crush one hundred, crush one thousand, but there will rise one million more
And as you ́re sinking down to the bloodsoaked ground,
among this ocean of corpses you realize that they nest inside of you
They nest inside of you
A seed was planted into a young chest
No one understood the breed behind the curtains of a polite restrained smile
Now all that ́s left are ancient ruins
Inside this crippled shape of a dying heart they will hatch and rise and crave for everything you love Take everything you love

Fieriness
Glowing ash
Wooden lies
Merged to skies
In sooted glass
What to see
I am this (this) ain´t me
In the mirror
See the eyes
In the mirror
Telling lies
In the mirror
See the glass
In the mirror
Reflecting scars
In the mirror
See the glass
Reflecting death
Reflecting scars
In the mirror
See yourself
In the mirror
Someone else

The Burden
06:05

Multiplying the burden
Stacking up all that shit
The foundation long since out of sight
Losing grip, losing confidence
Unable to thrive
Those beloved idle days drowned in the swamps of stagnation of life
Full stagnation
No salvation
And heavy walls that are tumbling down
Conceal the ruins that are not our own
And all the wrinkles on concrete faces
Are just the sum of self-pity and hatred
Multiplying the burden
Losing grip, losing confidence
Foundation long out of sight
Stagnation, unable to thrive
Bricks that keep crashing down
From the ruins we've built on our own
Stagnation – Frustration
Lost in – contemplation
Selfbuilt damnation
We're creeping in isolation
Frustration – Stagnation
Self in- carceration
Selfbuilt - isolation
We're crawling - in damnation
