Sworn to fire purified by the flames
You wait and crave for revival
Mute the voices that echo within
And strip the soul from all that is lost
Now the strong have bled a thousand deaths
The pure and true will survive
Anointed with the blood of the weak
This is the last chance you’ll ever get to take
The final exit is up for the taking
Fight back the winter that pulls you under
And carve the victorious path
Now the weak have fled in solitude
The brave will stretch out the light
On the way to redemption
Will is now thriving against every odd
A savior is rising as prophecies told
Syncing your step with the march
The wounds are still open
Now the weak have fled in solitude
The brave will stretch out the light
On the way to redemption
Now life itself will cast out the worthless
The price is paid
The circle goes on
Sworn to fire purified by the flames
You wait and crave for revival
Mute the voices that echo within
And strip the soul from all that is lost
Now the strong have bled a thousand deaths
The pure and true will survive
Anointed with the blood of the weak
This is the last chance you’ll ever get to take
The final exit is up for the taking
Fight back the winter that pulls you under
And carve the victorious path
Now the weak have fled in solitude
The brave will stretch out the light
On the way to redemption
Will is now thriving against every odd
A savior is rising as prophecies told
Syncing your step with the march
The wounds are still open
Now the weak have fled in solitude
The brave will stretch out the light
On the way to redemption
Now life itself will cast out the worthless
The price is paid
The circle goes on
Half life

Blind Art

Blessed be the son of nothing
Raised in the gutter of earthly sin
We fade to dust empty as our graves
King in his mind slave of his own bane
Paving the way to his own demise
We fade to dust empty as our graves
We turn away cold as our hearts
Art the solemn
Art the whore
Bittersweet redemption
For this I implore
Blessed be the son of hatred
Crowned as the ruler of virgin sin
We fade to dust empty as our graves
Pulse is weak sense turning hollow
The script of existence now erased
We fade to dust empty as our graves
We turn away cold as our hearts
Art the solemn
Art the whore
Bittersweet redemption
For this I implore

Horrors Unborn

Cold fears reborn in a nightmare that turns into real
A pitiful stare fixed on a vision unborn
The altar of self-sacrifice is dripping with blood
Proving that sometimes the mind is weaker than flesh
Spit out the sickness that binds me
Images flash in a blink enchanted by stale irony
Dawn is revealing a daydream soaked in the color of red
Cast aside the chain that commands me
Shaping form in front of my sight
Thoughts becoming pain
Floating in waves
A rain of silence freezing my breath
The truth reveals
Embracing death
Calling louder still unheard
Opposed to the deadly alliance
Of darkness and life
A hand pointing south
Foresees my demise
Cold fears reborn in a nightmare that turns into real
A pitiful stare fixed on a vision unborn
The burden of truth reforms in the shape of a plague
As time revives an act that never was
Cast aside the chain that commands me
Shaping form in front of my sight
Thoughts becoming pain
Floating in waves
A rain of silence freezing my breath
The truth reveals
Embracing death
Calling louder still unheard

Daylight dims in the wake of a vision
Temptation at peace with the spring
A liquid fate seeps from your breathing wounds
In the cutting edge of a dream
Naked and freezing now everyone knows
Sick and confused as the drapery falls
Crimson haze in the mist of her light
The sky enthralled with beauty
Eyes that meet at the coming of dawn
Feathers fall from your wings
Within seconds a whisper distracts you
And slowly relieves you from sleep
A part of your essence is cleansed
With a promise to be reborn
No sign of life yet life enshrines you
And you are still trying to heal
A taste on your lips so bitter and sweet
To fill up the void in between
Pale and forgotten now everyone knows
Cold and alone as the drapery falls
Heart pumping fast in the heat of her flame
The sky obscured by the rain
What came as a blessing was holding a curse
Resting upon your remains
Within moments the voice speaks again
Replacing your bliss with a grief
A part of your essence is cleansed
With a promise to be reborn
Life through death?
Death through life?
Who can really say?
