Where are you dear
Are you lost alone
When the sun shed a ray,
I would follow home
I will find you again
I shall find you again
Μy Shadow calls
Searching the dark
Her eyes void cold
Μy Shadow calls
Somebody
took her from me
And my dreams go wild
Everything
I see in my sleep
Comes to life
The horrors
Calling me
Barriers
Breaking to set them free
Terrified
Of sleeping again
I keep myself awake
To avoid
The horrible
Stories that my brain
Wants to tell
Crushing reality
She kept me
From hell
Subsiding my demons
Turning wishes to dreams
And anguish
To nightmares
I now feel
My angst
Prevailing my mind
Hope lurking beneath
Hiding
Inside my head
There is
No escape
From your own brain
When all that’s dark
It grows in your heart
When all that’s dark
It grows on your heart

The Hunt
03:39
|

Madness comes to you
As the clock strikes three
Explosions fill the sky
Spatters of red
Coloring the dust
The hunting grounds
For the weak to die
Something calling my name
Hunts me down in the crimson rain
I rush down the stairs
The creature follows
A path that never ends
The labyrinth of lines
Expanding
Splitting
Branching
Its walls
Closing
Crushing
Anything
That winds up
Inside
As the walls suffocate me
I find myself outside
In a moonless field
The creature follows
I reach a building dark
The labyrinth of time
Appearing
Moving
Turning
Its rooms
Driving
Mad
Anyone
That ends up
Inside
As madness reaches me
I seek a place to hide
My breath fogs the mirror
And opens a portal to escape
As I strive to create a door
The creature sighs
Will I die if I jump
Will it tear me apart
Growling
Staring
Grabbing my hand
It claws
I turn
It smiles
It has my face

Eternal Silence
07:31
|
|||
As I lay down
Μy thoughts prevail
Without asking
My Shadow
Without asking
My Shadow now gone
They make of me their toy
And call forth Silence
The mistress of nightmares
The one
The one that keeps you from screaming
When demons come
When demons come
They sleep on your chest
Now it’s all real
It’s all real
I feel her next to me
And shut my eyes
To shove her away
But she is still here
And whispers:
“Why are you so upset my child
How can silence hurt you
The demons are yours
The demons are yours I tell you
I am just here to make sure
No-one hears your screams
No-one wants to hear
Your dreadful laments
Tormenting the poor souls
The ones that you killed
In your nightmares
The ones that you killed
In your dreams
”Let me reach for the light”
“I’m not keeping you away”
“Let me grab my knife”
“You are keeping yourself awake”
“Stop tormenting me”
“You are talking to yourself
And it’s not a dream
The lies you tell
That no-one wants
To hear
Of the monster
Under your bed
Aspiring to make you
One of them
No one hears you scream
Why are you so upset my child
You know I could never hurt you
You made the demons yourself
Excuses to be the monster you want to be
And dwell in silence
In eternal silence“

Killing the Beloved
07:53

How can this be
Will it fill the void of this absence
In my mind
Ιf i kill you this night
How can this be
In nightmares I’m drowning
As all burns
Away
As I, as I, as I roam and I roam and I roam
Falling
in a pit of despair
When I, when I, when
I wander and wander and wander
And shed a tear
But I‘ll kill you tonight
While holding your hand
I will kill you tonight
With a shank through the heart
But I killed you tonight
While holding your heart
I killed you tonight
I killed you tonight
I shed a tear
Το lead me to you
As to never forget
What is fantasy or true
This was the end
The void of this absence persists
In my mind
Though I killed you tonight
How can this be
My horrors are howling
As all burns
As all burns away
As I, as I, as I roam and I roam and I roam
Falling
in a pit of despair
When I, when I, when
I wander and wander and wander
And shed a tear
But I‘ll kill you tonight
While holding your hand
I will kill you tonight
With a shank through the heart
But I killed you tonight
While holding your heart
I killed you tonight
I killed you tonight
The serpent’s eyes
The ritual knife
A gloomy shrine
Below purple
Skies
When I, as I, why I, who am I, what am I
Doing this treacherous time
As I, when I, what I, why am I
When I, what I, why I, who am I
Sacrificing
to my sleepless nights

Breeder of Shadows
07:51

A sickly green
Paints the sky
As horrors
invade
our plane
A sudden gust of wind
The moonlight trembles
As shadows flow
Beneath a river of coal
I follow
I hear the creatures scream
Their voice echoing
in freezing pain
driving me insane
Multiplied
and drained
By the breeder of shadows
“Nightmares have forlorn me
For all these shadows
take it all away
I think no more
I dread no more
I succumb no more
to my restless brain
That feeds my foolish soul
You don’t want to see
What manifests
If i stop
breeding the shadows
My own couldn’t bear it alone
They keep
The desires
And all hope at bay
Oh child you don’t wanna see
when i stop
breeding the shadows
Kill me if you wish
Now I feel no more pain”
