2.	I Become You 04:01	lyrics	buy track
I Become You I become you When you close your eyes And try to sleep Often in the night You hear noises Faint sounds, a thud, a silent crack Whatever it may appear To your eye or ear In its profound presence You enter your room Feeling anxiety While looking at the mirror When passing it With quickened step You return to bed You’re afraid to look In the window You’re afraid someone can stay behind the door You cover with thick warm blanket And try to sleep again Another time Your imagination played trick on you You feel someone’s presence Inexplicable and ghastly You tell yourself – it’s just imagination Yet I’m watching you Stand right beside You won’t notice me You won’t touch me You can only feel me Feel the fright When you try to sleep I can’t exist without you Your fear breeds my life by Mateusz Turowski
3.	The Final Journey 06:21	lyrics	buy track
The Final Journey Echoes of emptiness Hustle my heart Like an empty vessel Sailing without wind On waters still Among the isles of illusion rocks Ahead The corridor of fulfilled dreams With vacant seats For might, for happiness for dignity, me Madness Isolation Mist My trembling heart envisions The meadows of graves Shrouded with the fears Of the wandering soul Serpent the path Becomes Ravaged by pestilent winds Drenched in purulent sunset I am entering the realm of calmness Where affect you no awareness no grief In the flood of blackness I whirl In the face of my fallen memories The eyes faint, gaze becomes blank But pitiless as the sun Scorching the shape and the shadow Till they cease There is no hiding Before the death’s reflection In loving memory of what might have been The daring march has come to its halt I pass the gate of solemnity Paved with concept of living In candles’ glare reflect the faces of my dreams With ash so grim, so solemn yet elusive I disperse by Mateusz Turowski
4.	Slow Death 04:35	lyrics	buy track
Slow Death The Hunt has begun, you better run! Hordes have been unleashed Hunting until all are deceased No mercy, eyes are without empathy No intervention, only slow death as their intention. When entangled your pain is their reward Body parts shared by the evil horde Weaponry made for the ultimate torture Lead by the ultimate demon, the supreme scorcher! Hymns of the dark choir, invoking your trial by fire No rest for their wicked ways Hunting feeble humanity for the rest of its days Who is guilty, who opened the abyss Are mankind’s sins the result of this All hope is faded, it does not matter anymore You are next! The subsequent life in decay As you are about to take your very last breath All that remains, fed to the boars See your loved ones wither away At the heart of the swarm, objectives reached, a slow death!! by Harry Maat
5.	Spectre 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Spectre Consequence of creation Like hands of time But fragile like dust Turns to spectre Wandering aimlessly In its search for reflections On quicksand The Sun Like wolf Watching from above Howling the black sound Leading the spectre astray Walking The brassladen trail Afraid to hear the raven’s cry Azure burial It feels From the day first Ageless threnody Sing at the shores of the end Bereft In its animation Ebbing from horizon to oblivion Epoch of brightness has passed Darkness descends Ominously Epoch of brightness has passed Darkness descends Like wolf by Mateusz Turowski
6.	House Of Trust 02:39	lyrics	buy track
House of Trust Brought as a young servant Into the House Of Trust Left in faith by his parents To shape a future man The eyes of the leader Glance over the future victim Erotic sins slowly rise Deceit begins one step at a time Week in and week out The child’s perception molded Touches though of as normal More intimate every time Until time has come He prays with his prey But after ceremonial service Hands glide, his lust commands A young child’s immaculate soul Forever wept away Where innocence is shamed And a life now already broken His wings clipped forever A future destroyed in full As time catches up with the past With an institution in denial A feeble attempt To protect the betrayer The victims no longer silent Confronted with the revelations Of what once was The House Of Trust by Harry Maat
7.	Forever Frozen 06:28	lyrics	buy track
Forever Frozen Drifting, into spheres unblessed All choices you have made Have let you to this point On your way to antoher crossroad Doubt en denial overwhelms Forever frozen in life Forever frozen, floating in empty space Forever frozen, no where left to run Forever frozen in your soul, Forever frozen, floating in empty space Forever frozen, no where left to run Forever frozen in your soul My sences locked away Lost and scared of what you did The horrible truth you can’t escape Drowining, mental suffocation Caught in a dimension Where even shadows turn darker What can you do, if all that remains Is the impossible emptiness How to find your path Out of this wicked maze Forced to deal with choices made To see them in the eye As inners demons haunt your inner self Despair takes over, you know its coming No end to this selfmade torment Everlasting, tears start to flow How did you get here, how did this happen How can this all be undone…. Frozen forever This lifetime thrown away Forever despair Nothing can help you now by Harry Maat
8.	The Uprising 03:21	lyrics	buy track
The Uprising Soulless bodies Devoid of scream Grope among the dimensions of self Thundering laughter Festering pain irony of truth A dying hand falls down losing strength Gort’s lust murder strives at power By shedding blood And clutter of stabbed hearts Broken shackles of joy Reclaiming the will to fight Again the fall became dominant The twilight possessed servant souls Torture sparkling with night But our force lies deep in our forefathers wisdom Here memories over thoughts take control And those will arise whose life was taken To restore happiness to Orn And devastated Ceres will lay down To sleep for next millennia Launching another plans of destruction by Mateusz Turowski
9.	Epilogue 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Epilogue Fertile planetoid dwarfish has become Stained with blood and thought decays To dreams will turn Its vegetation form To show its power When anyone tries to take it over Northirs wiped out By their own muddle of thoughts Learnt what irony meant War became silent Under the fathom of the sand grains Bards will write stories about it To make that picture Not fade out in memory Rooted in the sceptre of power The abyss of mind Conspiracy circles in the air The violins with thorny strings Play the melody Of the decline of frail thoughts by Mateusz Turowski
10.	A Rose On A Grave 07:10	lyrics	buy track
A Rose on a Grave From the midst of memories Where every moment unfurls Of that what could have been This place where life has begun And where now all hope has ended Only to become a rose on a grave When every moment lived A consequence of choices made A life wasted, all time has now passed No more looking back Surrender the transendence Tried intensely to be brave Now nothing more remains Than a rose on a grave Missery and joy, always hand in hand What is left, just a grain of sand The impact that was made From a life in the shade No more remembrance of existence Fading away into the blurry distance A consciousness buried in obliveon Only to become the rose on a grave Were lives ever touched? Was every breath taken Even worth the air that was spilled? Will someone ever even remember The skin that shed from my soul This is what is came down to There’s nothing left to say All almost forgotten is transfered To this rose on a grave… Harry Maat
