Of Ash 10:35
lyrics

The aftermath of your lack of sanity Is empty shells and austerity A desolate path you're forced to walk alone That leads you to a broken throne Lead you to the quiet meadow wherein you're content to lie Lamb to the slaughter, ignorant of what is so close by Perfect disguise, no light inside Spreading his lies, oozing darkness Cry for release, finding no peace Your pain unleashed, branded discontent Pain in extremeties, in the skin Plunging deeper into the abyss within Obscuring instinct with a shrouded hand Cleansing with flame impurities a decade spanned Fire - Consuming all we are Fear - That has brought you this far Pain - Reminder you're alive Longing - For a reason to die Searching for light, lost in the night Blind to your plight, dismal parasite You flee, cowering from the fire Too weak, not yet ready to die Burning, scalding away inside Set free, brought back into the light Once more, mired in apathy Closed door, locked here in agony Screaming, echoes in empty halls Pleading, no-one to hear your call I am your friend, on me depend; abandon all you've given And in the end, we'll meet again; on your complete abscission Under the skin, I burn within; I am all you ever need You think it's fate, you isolate; my strength feeds the hanging tree Pick up your pen Pour out the lies I feed you Say your goodbyes To those you always eschew Abandoning the light within; walk the path of misery Feed on your guilt, your spirit wilts; prey to my dismal liturgy Another chance, the Devil's dance; enter the flames and join us You have the strength, commit at length to what you find so amorous Give me your pain I will devour all you love You are nothing You are waste to dispose of Reach into desire's black pit Fall into the sickening abyss Isolated from all you know Join me in the fires below

Upon the mattress stained with red The shell of life remains Oozing abscess, dripping ichor Reeking of decay A hooded figure in the pane Gaze glowing in the night Watches maggots have their way With rotten flesh and crimson blight Plague in my skin Contagion begins Mask my deadly grin Payment for your sin O! Death! Thou comest when I had the least in mind O! Death! With scarlet stains I am resigned O! Death! This horror of blood thou hast wrought O! Death! Come swiftly for the children we have lost O! Death! I pray you pass us by O! Death! Your presence dignified O! Death! Come sweeping through the hall O! Death! Bring your dominion over all A stranger in the hall His face obscured In the vestments of the grave With blood allured The ticking of clock Steady and calm Struck the sound of the hour To silent psalms No-one would dare approach His visage beyond reproach This phantasm all clad in gore Thou bringest illness ever more Blood is pouring Bursting from every pore Endless screaming Boil and sore All afflicted Clawing at bolted doors Thrashing, dying On the floor Prospero promised you sanctuary, yet I find my way Your protector is a failure, now you suffer my decay Feel me in your bones A rush of blood and you will know Your pleas mean nothing I have come to call All shall bow in worship, Pleading, excruciating It is far too late I shall not wait My darkness, my decay, my dominion over all My darkness, my decay, my dominion over all

Descent 10:08
lyrics

Preyed upon by the creeping dark There is no time for this obsession Set free by my negligence No healing in confession On every lip, a speechless horror dwelt On every brow, the burden of affliction The ancestral spirits felt The pain of life's malediction Some dreams are nothing else but dreams Foolish and full of contradiction Yet all our most impassioned schemes Are little more than fictions All the signs around me warn me not to take this life All the life within me is calling out to die Ignored every cry for help, each plea for guidance spurned Beaten, broken, no strength left, to the end I turn The forest calls and I obey, it's too late to turn back The noose tightens round my neck, my vision goes black I wake Cold fingers lift my face Pain in my limbs and in my throat I take A breath in cold embrace Clutching the letter I wrote I call out to the empty trees The silent groves give no response I am left with my remorse For the life I nearly lost Some dreams are nothing else but dreams Foolish and full of contradiction Yet all our most impassioned schemes Are little more than fictions

The Book of Crimson Ceremony 09:09
lyrics

Look out on the water The smell of death on the skin Carrying a memory The rot is setting in Rise again Return to me once more This blasphemous ritual Will break the chains of my remorse Watch I will show you This was done by your own hand I know your purpose Penance is my demand Truth In between your lies You will not escape your fate I cast my judgement I see your hate Locked behind a lie Soul's desire has died Hungering for truth No purpose now for you Calling out my name Fading from the page Dreaded eternity My own worst enemy I am faulted by my own desires again I am guilty of imprisoning myself again Silence, blood on stone The only comfort I will find Return, she is waiting Or is it all in my mind Voices, cling to delusions Spare myself of the lies Searching, looking within Emptiness inside Every step is closer to insanity This unholy book is all that comforts me I know my purpose The way ahead is clear Judgement is given I have nothing to fear You will pay for your sins Beneath the ash of the past Blood is boiling within Open the pages at last Ending, through the door To face her vengeful soul Forgive me my transgressions Make my spirit whole Drowning our memories Suffocated screams Smothered, giving in Tearing at the seams Fingers tighten on the rope On this noose I choke There are gods here Who still grant power To those with reverence Forgive me, love lost Waking instead Defy even death Abyss is calling For lost memory Crimson Ceremony
