Myself, yourself.
Myself to yourself
One mind, one entity
We are all connected
Now I gained the key to the lock, hiding the unknown
I am flying, intoxicating bliss
Oh mother, invigorating kiss
I am undefeatable
Invincible! Invincible!
In the end
My body, rejecting myself
Feels like it was never in perception
Wave after wave, crashing in
Tormented spirits become one
I am flying, intoxicating bliss
Oh mother, invigorating kiss
I am undefeatable. Invincible! Invincible!
Now I never felt more alone
Faster, faster and faster!
My sight starts spinning, as knowledge rushes in
In the end
There she is, oh mother
As words cannot describe the beauty I perceive As I fall into her open arms,
I can feel the very last time
And in the end...
In the end, we are left defeated
Our self is no more
Invigorating kiss, intoxicating bliss
I am flying, intoxicating bliss
Oh mother, invigorating kiss
I am undefeatable
Invincible! Invincible!
Now I never felt more alone
Faster, faster and faster!
My mind erupts, as knowledge rushes in
In the end, we are left defeated
Our self is no more
Invigorating kiss, intoxicating bliss

Meaningless sighs, always mistaken for promises
You thought you were always meant to rise, but you are just talkative
Faceless hangmen, a futile ambition
No one to cherish your pristine position
You grasp the whole world with your fingers Like a grain of sand
Everyone should understand that
Salvation flows from your hands
You grasp the whole world with your fingers Like a grain of sand
I will never understand
They follow your commands
She is a concubine to cleanse your soul
(Meaningless sighs, meaningless sighs)
But vanity won’t grant you more
(Meaningless sighs, meaningless sighs)
You grasp the whole world with your fingers Like a grain of sand
Everyone should understand that
Salvation flows from your hands
You grasp the whole world with your fingers Like a grain of sand
I will never understand
They follow your commands
Not one single sane thought Triggers your tainted heart
The stench of vacuous recitals revolves around you
Faceless hangmen, a futile ambition
No one to cherish your pristine position
You grasp the whole world with your fingers Like a grain of sand
Everyone should understand that
Salvation flows from your hands
You grasp the whole world with your fingers Like a grain of sand
I will never understand
They follow your commands
Not one single sane thought Triggers your tainted heart

You make amends for being altruistic
I’m sorry you have to endure something like this
You made it clear
Everything ends in tears
Singing “we are the light within ourselves”
(I will say it again)
You are no slave to substance (I will say it again)
You are a spark of resistance (I will say it again)
No slave to substance
(I will say it again)
Ember paves the way to higher expectations
You are the everlasting echo of revelations
May they find comfort in crashing down
There is no other way to feel it
Warpaint made of abandoned scars
All roads lead us here
A broken promise and a raised fist
Let’s make them disappear
All senses fail from here
Don’t cloak your firm beliefs in secrecy
The status quo cannot stay the same
You make amends for being altruistic
I’m sorry you have to endure something like this
You made it clear
Everything ends in tears
Singing “we are the radiant sun”
(I will say it again)
All roads lead us here
A broken promise and a raised fist
Let’s make them disappear
All senses fail from here
Don’t cloak your firm beliefs in secrecy
The status quo cannot stay the same
Warpaint made of abandoned scars
Warpaint made of abandoned scars

The Sword Logic
04:03
|

Morality, the false hope of comfort
The sword binds wielder to victim
Morality, the false hope of comfort
The sword binds life to death
Take or be taken
Challenge one another
To bring on the true fate
Feel the blade
Now cut through skin and bone
Liberate the unworthy
This is the true hope
Worship
Consume their defeat
Paracausality
A calling from the deep
Apotheosis
Starving, taking with all forces
Devour the light from the sky
Ingest the pain into the deep
To claim true liberation
Self-preservation
A higher plane of misery
Of Misery
Worship, paracausality, apotheosis
Now the throne is left without a king
Bring forth the true belief
Hear the call to the farthest realms
To maintain the sword logic
Morality, the false hope of comfort
The sword binds life to death
Reclaim the throne
Tie up salvation
Wielder to victim
There is no option
Morality, the false hope of comfort
The sword binds life to death
Worship
Consume their defeat
Paracausality
A calling from the deep
Apotheosis
Starving, taking with all forces
Reclaim the throne
Tie up salvation
Wielder to victim
There is no option

The sovereign reveals his serpent tongue
Perceive the sound, receive contempt
Mandatory reactions
Evoke misconceptions
Our Alpha, our Omega, the uncertainty, our downfall
The serenades we all keep singing sound like grinding teeth
You know there’s something more
Deep inside us burns a fire
A chant consumed by fear, destined to end in silence
On our way there‘s something more
Deep inside us burns a fire
With sewn eyes we try to see one another
With severed hands we try to reach one another
Our Alpha, our Omega, the uncertainty, our downfall
Our Alpha, our Omega, the uncertainty, our downfall
We were so wrong
Stigma of shame
We were so wrong
Now we keep fighting through the pain
We were so wrong
Stigma of shame
We were so wrong
Now we keep fighting through the pain
Solitude waits for us like a stone
Patient, ravenous
Until our shells will die alone
We were so wrong
Stigma of shame
Solitude waits for us like a stone
Patient, ravenous
Until our shells will die alone
