Failed Redemption
05:36

Who am I? A creation so blind
What’s the purpose when the truth is concealed
Who am I? A creation so blind
What’s the purpose when the truth is concealed
How can we be insistent
When reasons jade, in death life fade
Eternal sleep, friends cry and weep
Black is shade, in life death fade
The Final Redemption
Lugnare:
You will never fail
I will fail again
You will never fade
I will fade away
Who are you? A higher state of mind
In final moments, life’s meaning revealed
Who am I? A creation so blind
What’s the purpose, when the truth is concealed
Sure we’ll never die
Eternity is reached (in death life fade)
My doubts are in control
Infinite forms shape my soul
Failed Redemption
Lugnare:
You will never fail
I will fail again
You will never fade
I will fade away

Vita et Mortem
05:38
|
|

As the sun is fading in front of your eyes
Close your eyes and remember the first breath you took
The smell of fresh air
The liquid taste of baby tears
A new born child materializes from nowhere
For many there is one straight path in life
But for you and me it is crooked
The deep blue sea is replaced by hollow tears
The hope for change replaced by the deepest fears
Vita et Mortem
Life is the end
Mors Principium Est
Death is the beginning
Devorantis in aeternum
Devours eternity
In laqueum et mortale hoc spiram
Trapped in this mortal coil
Vita et Mortem
Life is the end
Mors Principium Est
Death is the beginning
As your tongue just begins to articulate
As soon as your conscious is bestowed
Only decades after you’ll fade away and turn to ashes
Wrinkles on your solemn face
And the birthmark of your soul
Constantly reminds you
That the end comes closer (each day)
Beloved ones disappear
No common thread is running through
Just cuts off the red line! Vita et Mortem!
Growl:
How can God tolerate
All this suffering in vein?
Abandoned by the shell of it all
Throws you into the mire
The struggle to accept the essence
Yet you fall into this trap
The failure to beseech you
Demons haunt you in your dreams
Vita et Mortem
Mors Principium Est
The damage inside changes your curse
In sleepless nights beneath the stars
The streaming waters connect this loop
each night
A path of darkness that finally….
….will lead the light
Vita et Mortem
Life is the end
Mors Principium Est
Death is the beginning
Devorantis in aeternum
Devours eternity
In laqueum et mortale hoc spiram
Trapped in this mortal coil

Condemned to Perdition
01:46
|
|||
What we built up shall now be destroyed
Eons erased, pure greed has gained
Grace uncleared, visions decayed
All swept away, mankind will fade
Mankind will fade
We all will die…We all will die!
As we are condemned…condemned…to perdition
Our destructive lifestyle
The betrayal of our dearest
Violence and agony
Mankind is what to fear the most
Mankind will fade….away…

We will show no remorse…we will never forgive!
Part 1 – Final hours:
What we built up shall now be destroyed
Eons erased, pure greed has gained
Grace uncleared, visions decayed
All swept away, mankind will fade
Final hours, final time
Last goodbye, all men will disappear
Reality has seized, Earth collapsed
Condemned to perdition
Determinations of insanity
Soulless sects slay children, rape women…mankind indifferent
Nature’s collapsing, shores swept away…mankind indifferent
Water’s dry, deserts wet…mankind indifferent
Bodies turn to corpses, faces turn to stone…to stone
Will humanity resurrect?...resurrect
Part 2 –Determinations of Insanity:
Bodies are burned, flesh will turn to dust in the South
The cruelest core of mankind will be praised in the North
Evilness praised, honorable men erased
Contradictions are praised
In sick nations, the final hours blessed
Final hours, final time
Last goodbye, all men will disappear
Reality has seized, Earth collapsed
Condemned to perdition
Determinations of insanity
Part 3 – Northern madness
There will be blood! Insane is the power!
Ruthless screams tear the flood
Cries echo from the recently born
From the raped women and the tortured men
They sold us as slaves and our children are lost
Flee from the North!
Perpetrators are praised! Perpetrators are praised! Humanity erased!

Throne of Grief
04:50
|

I’m not afraid of the dark
I’m just afraid of the light
I have no fear at all
I’m just afraid to live
I’m not afraid of the dark
I’m just afraid of the light
I have no fear at all
I’m just afraid to die
Shadows hanging over me…
Unveiled clouds hang over me…
I was lost in a dreamland
Nocturnal dreams profound
I was born in a shadowland
Once on a throne of grief
I was lost in a dreamland
Nocturnal dreams profound
I was born in a shadowland
Once on a throne of grief…Throne of grief
I’m not afraid of the night
I’m just afraid of the day
I have no fear at all
I’m just afraid to die
Shadows hanging over me…
Reality too blind to see…
I was caught in a dreamland
Nocturnal dreams profound
I was born in a shadowland
Once on a throne of grief
I was caught in a dreamland
Nocturnal dreams profound
I was born in a shadowland
Once on a throne of grief
Curtained from the real world
Like a trap in a web
Lost beneath an ivory tower
Soaring towards the sky

Shroud of Melancholy
10:18

Embraced by a shroud
Don’t let it tear me down
A shroud of melancholy
Don’t let it encumber me
What is life hiding when leaves are falling?
In solitude I dwell, the end is calling
A death and love lost, pure loneliness
Sorrow is penetrating, it strikes again
I search inside for fortitude
And liquid thoughts of laughter
Echoes will last forever after
I search inside for fortitude
And liquid thoughts of laughter
Like a shroud of melancholy…shroud of melancholy…melancholy
A funeral for my friend
Beloved until the end
When will the grey clouds disperse
And the shimmering pain scatter?
I hope your soul will find rest
In deepest clear blue skies
Now I wish to endure the last moments
Don’t let me drown in a sea of pain…in solitude
I search inside for fortitude
And liquid thoughts of laughter
Echoes will last forever after
I search inside for fortitude
And liquid thoughts of laughter
Like a shroud of melancholy…shroud of melancholy…melancholy
I need crystal water
Clear as blue skies
To solve this mystery
Of pain and misery
In the year of eleven
Lost hope, so far from heaven
A tragedy after another
And the loss of the other
