Quiet backwater
Shadows move at the bottom
Long since drowned
I did not find peace there
And I regret that I gave in to the water
Filling my lungs
A search for quiet serenity
But the death was never avenged
And so the pain continues
The vision of an angel, whatever you desire
Naked in the moonlight
So pristine, so beautiful
Who will be the next victim
When is it enough?
And you reach out to me
So that I may come out of the water
Vague sounds of water turn to

Nature’s Course
Suffering is nature’s course
when Hell is the root source
of experience felt by all
regardless of nature’s call
echoed through centuries
if not the span of milleniums
the denominator of humankind
expressed by words unwound
the best confirm experience
demonstrating insanity
while the worst dilute the pain
denying impact in their essay
one states what others feel
the other destroys the appeal
of suffering sought by all
when damnation is the call.

Nightmarathon
I wander into the abyss many nights
Not just a tourist with a suitcase full of fears
But a resident in this wretched place
The demons crawl out of every shadow
And ravage me relentlessly
Sadness in my soul presses me harder and harder
And my mind is haunted by past horrors
The devil is my doctor and his cure is suffering
And on his surgeon’s table, pain eclipses fear
Nightmares come true at times and turn into realities ...
Not just a tourist with a suitcase full of fears
But a resident in this wretched place
The demons crawl out of every shadow

And on his surgeon’s table, pain eclipses fear
Nightmares come true at times and turn into realities ...

Phantom Pain I
A single word
Would serenade
My soul. A taste.
It's all I crave.
Endless art.
A broken arm.
Heavy hearts
And smoke alarms.
This ecstasy
It fills my dreams.
My God.
I'd give you everything.
To feel your words
Upon my skin.
Execute
My darkest sins.
The dread that burns
Beneath my flesh.
To walk this road
Is certain death.
There's beauty though
In my despair. ...

the begger girl
she was berely there,
a shadow cast in the
rain.
her wet hair matted
to her face,
head tilted down,
eyes squinted against
the spate.
as I drove past,
I read the sign
in her hands...
"ANYTHING
HELPS,
GOD BLESS."
I don't think
he does...
a shadow cast in the
rain.
her wet hair matted
to her face,
head tilted down,
eyes squinted against
the spate.
as I drove past,
I read the sign

Heart Beating Love (instrumental by Mors)
I came with nothing
I'm late, caught buzzing
The fake I flush it
Escape from nothing
-
Let me crawl back in
I'm, focused on my sins
They, call me lost within I love it
Less is more I know what does it
Give it all away looking for the change
Took it off the page living for the day I forget it
Lost in the concept of self
Like I cannot ask for no help
Fell in the trap
I've fallen again
Like bend me but don't break me god
I'm afraid of moving on
My heart beating love
I...

Fear (instrumental by FALLEN)
Fears speak into my ears
Leave me and they might clear
Or they might attack as I push em back
But they do not quit so long as I resist
Here I sit as I watch and wait
And they play the tape as I concentrate
They knock the gate as I lost the page
And I wash away like I'm lost in hate
Whispering lies with all the tricks
I witness the crime through my eye lids
I picture a time I was fine within
Just a kid before trauma hit..
Was I the cause of it and I'm not calming down
when karma comes will it put me down? ...

Tragic Circles
The agony creeping the dark side of my mind
Hidden scars bleeding out hope in the mirror
Fight or flight I prefer the lights on the echo side
Where time can freeze tears of the unfathomable
One day they defrost into a fog with a bright mask on
Whispers of depression anchoring confusion to my heart
Pain flows through veins causing these rhythmic palpitations
Fear will shame this guilt into chains we can't break
Tragic Circles, Chasing day after day away
Tragic Circles, Building walls around this hate
Tragic...
Hidden scars bleeding out hope in the mirror
Fight or flight I prefer the lights on the echo side
Where time can freeze tears of the unfathomable
One day they defrost into a fog with a bright mask on
Whispers of depression anchoring confusion to my heart
Pain flows through veins causing these rhythmic palpitations
Fear will shame this guilt into chains we can't break
Tragic Circles, Chasing day after day away
Tragic Circles, Building walls around this hate
Tragic...

The power of nature forgotten
A new god, we worship technology and innovation
We are at the top of the universe
Laughing in the face of what we used to believe
Fearing nothing, supreme arrogance abounds
Ignorance is bliss and everything is cured
But stirring in the east
A tall woman in a white dress
Her face is pale and her hair disheveled
And with a single kiss ...
A new god, we worship technology and innovation
We are at the top of the universe

Her face is pale and her hair disheveled

Morana
Songs of blood and steel in your name
You have been searching the centuries
Extinguishing the malady of life
The queen of death and cold
You are the one whose eyes destroy hope
The flames in your eyes are where anger begins
Moths fly to burn in the fire
The one nobody loves
They run down the stairs into the abyss to escape
The rivers of blood in your stead
Without skin or eyes, bodies surround your feet
Delight and ecstasy in pestilence. disease, and war
Is sharing pain your only desire? ...

My Lonely Heart
I sit quietly in the corner alone and hang my head in forlornness.
My lonely heart languishes for romance and companionship.
I have an urge to be intimate with someone of the opposite sex.
Is there not a single girl in the world who wishes to be with me?
Someday I shall find her even if she is far beyond the ocean.
And as long as she does not change, we will have a lasting love.
Tonight I worry once again, and I wonder how long I shall suffer.
A shooting star appears while I gaze at the heavens above.
I close my eyes and I envision a lovely girl...
My lonely heart languishes for romance and companionship.
I have an urge to be intimate with someone of the opposite sex.
Is there not a single girl in the world who wishes to be with me?
Someday I shall find her even if she is far beyond the ocean.
And as long as she does not change, we will have a lasting love.
Tonight I worry once again, and I wonder how long I shall suffer.
A shooting star appears while I gaze at the heavens above.
I close my eyes and I envision a lovely girl...
