Salvation

The only salvation is in death...

so sick of life; when will death claim my soul
so sick of being sick; why can’t I feel content
there’s no contentment for me in this world
a cry for salvation at the top of my lungs
I deal with so much pain, I’m afraid to break
I deal with so much pain, almost too much to take
birth - life - death
from order to chaos to rest
is this maze meaningful or meaningless
trapped in between despair and duress
suffocate from fear
the great beyond is a lie
only the end is eternal
no solace
only solitude
life, death, hope, fear
I CAN’T FEEL A THING

From Birth to Death
02:31
|
|||
no gods, no masters - such a wishful phrase
humankind is destined to be kept forever in a cage
there is no one in the sky, no one to judge me
so keep your frantic thinking to yourself
a desperation for guidance straight into subordination
no gods, no masters steer my fate
reality subdues your fiction
a reality you don’t dictate
alone I stand, alone I fall
no god will see ever me crawl
will see me crawl
there’s a grave with your name, a counter on your breaths
from womb to tomb, from birth to death

Absence of Power
02:53
|
|||
enslaved and kept in chains
raped and killed by the thousands
an essential lesson for mankind in humility
the fall of a violent race by the absence of power
I’ve walked in the devil’s footsteps
gazed into an abyss of humanity
unprecedented exploitation
due spiteful demand of you and me
only empathy would sooth my fucking rage
everything is tainted by our sin
I feel disconnected from reality
not able to tell how
we could be part of this twisted abuse
exterminate my kind
relieve us of guilt
exterminate my kind
erase all the memories
exterminate my kind
relieve us
close my eyes
end this nightmare

Scholars of Sin
03:02
|
|||
erase yourself from history
don’t leave a mark
I choose honest darkness
over misguiding light
their temple
let it burn
their garden eden
let it rot
scholars of sin haunted by the burden of faith
ancient beliefs fabricating times of disgrace
preying on weakness
feeding on the frail
a broken promise to society, a spreading poison
from blaze to ember, education is opportunity
preying on weakness
feeding on the frail
eternal night is upon us
swallow all light, a creeping cold
put false prophets to the torch
break free from celestial bonds
eternal night
swallow all light
nail your god to the cross
engulf your world in flames

Imminent Ruin
02:47
|
|||
the first time i saw my father break
was when he heard how he’d die
and this disease took a piece of my heart
and I hope I’ll be just as brave
when death’s grasp reaches out for me
the world keeps spinning without sympathy
when grief chains you down to the ground
paralyzed by misery
sickness in my stomach
and as your own body decays
death is just a phone call away
every breath is wasted and ruin is imminent
so when you grow older, you better grow colder
I’m trapped in a dream, I’m caught in between acceptance and denial
a fluid change of shake and rest
which is constantly creeping upon me

Oblivion's Gaze
03:10
|
|||
what’s left of me once I leave this world?
ashes scattered over earth and grass
flesh and skin went up in smoke
bones and remains powdered
feelings, emotions; all turned into a pile of dust
when the end is near what will be your legacy?
a frozen smile in a picture frame; forever trapped
a voice echoing into oblivion
a distant memory slowly fading away
my mind is a stained autumn day
a ground where no seeds bloom
haze and fog smother all joy
my mind’s lost where my fears loom
and If I die tonight it would be filled with discontent
but would another day ever feel different?
you’ve said you are not scared of death
but you left me so scared of life
