This Too Must Die

I… Worship You…
And… I long for you.
Together we'll be
For all time
I dream of you
It's ecstasy
But I'm counting down the days
Til you leave
I watch you as you sleep
So peacefully
I lay here in the dark
Of the night
I want what's best for you
Your happiness
So I'm counting down the days
Til you leave
As sure as sun will rise,
As sure as the pain subsides,
As sure as the fear takes a hold in my heart
in the calm of the night
This too, must die
Always looking for an out
That's me
All those nagging little doubts
That's me
You're too good to last
It's agony
So I'm counting down the days
Til you leave
Another shadow on your face
So visible
And me from day to day
Mercurial
I've been here so many times
It slipped away
So I'm counting down the days
Til you leave
As sure as sun will rise,
As sure as the pain subsides,
As sure as the fear takes a hold in my heart
in the calm of the night
This too, must die
Now the tears burn my eyes
As I walk out the door
I prepare to take my leave
Like so many times before
It's my fault, the burden is mine
I blame myself, I've been unkind
It's getting harder to breathe
Today is the day that I-
As sure as sun will rise,
As sure as the pain subsides,
As sure as the fear takes a hold in my heart
in the calm of the night
This too, must die
Aaah
As sure as sun will rise,
As sure as the pain subsides,
As sure as the fear takes a hold in my heart
in the dark of the night
This too, must die
In the dark of the night
At the end of our time
As we leave it behind
So I say goodnight
Close a door on a life
Say a prayer and shine a light
For something precious
beautiful that's died
This too must die

Drown the World

Bring me the storm
Wash us clean
Bring me war
Bring me screams
Bring me the rain
Drown the world
Petrichor
Make us clean
I'm in love with the rain
The way it feels on my skin
The way it smothers the streets
The way it washes us clean
And I know deep in my heart
I want to see the world choke
Between the tempest above
And rising waters below
Rend the seas
Drag us down
Rip the cloth
We will drown
Fill your lungs
With death
Claw your eyes
Stolen breath
Your god has abandoned you
No angels will come for you
Endless night
Dark skies
Quench the sun
Crush the light
I will watch you die
I will see you scratched out from this life
I see clouds on your horizon
Black clouds, no silver lining
The world drowns with me
I smell dirt after rain
Total absence of pain
Taste the blood in my mouth
Water in. Water out.
Endlessly flowing rivers
Condemn this world to die
Ravens leave home forever
And circle in the sky
I will drag your bloated corpse To hell with me As the light above you fades
Your god is dead
I saw it. He drowned.
The old world washed away
And a new king in black is crowned
Drown the World
Drown the World
Drown the World
Drown the World

When summer lays down
Her chest heavy, breast heaving
Sickly and soured
By the chill of the evening
Her children once green
Now withered and weaker
Enter young Autumn
Our entropic reaper
From the fire
Of the day
Came the march
Of decay
In the twilight
Of the years
Winter
Winter
Is here
As the dark steals the light
Unleash the waves of frost
All that was good has died
Absolute holocaust
From the fire
Of the day
Came the march
Of decay
In the twilight
Of the years
Winter
Winter
Is here

We Are The Fire
07:49
|

Turn over the altar
Cast the crosses out
A ceremonial cremation
For the devout
Your insipid children
The smoke will fill their lungs
We'll reclaim the past
By tearing out their tongues.
O! great redeemer!
We call the flame
Payback the shepherd
For millennia of pain!
We are the fire
We'll burn you down
Turn churches to cinders
Kick the ashes to the ground
Their cursed temples
Made of stolen wood
They raped our forests
And disrespect our gods
Your churches lay aflame and in ruin
Your bastard Nazarene in the mud
The price for slaughtering pagans
Will be paid in Christian blood
O! great redeemer!
We call the flame
Payback the shepherd
For millennia of pain!
We are the fire
We'll burn you down
Turn churches to cinders
Kick the ashes to the ground
Nothing Burns
Nothing Burns
Nothing Burns
Quite like a bible burns
O! great redeemer!
We call the flame
Payback the shepherd
For millennia of pain!
We are the fire
We'll burn you down
Turn churches to cinders
Kick the ashes to the ground

Nihilist
15:53
|

When you lose faith in everything,
You are capable of anything
Nothing can be known
Except that we can never know
Reality is just a construct
And all your gods are dead
I buried them myself
With the books above my bed
No Masters
No Loyalty
No Gods - Only beasts
No Faith
No Life
Just destruction - Nihilists rise
The scales fall from our eyes
So finally we see
Your gods turned away, long ago
Shame on them. Shame on me.
Morality is just a construct
An ivory shroud to wear
And I don't care
I don't care...
No Masters
No Loyalty
No Gods - Only beasts
No Faith
No Life
Just destruction - Nihilists rise
A stillness like death,
In which everything is forlorn
A grey line in a sunset
The ever-approaching storm
Obsessed with our destruction
We try to make it mean
And spend our twilight hours
On what might have been
Rise, Nihilists rise
Tear the veil that covers your eyes
Stand on the cliff's edge
And bravely, face the sunset
Rise, Nihilists rise
Tear the veil that covers your eyes
Stand on the cliff's edge
And bravely, face the sunset
The sunset
