Corridors
04:13
|

Lead me down these halls of sorrow
Through catacombs of my tomorrows
Passed the gates that house the dead
Kill the voices inside my head
This chapel offers no sanctuary
Forbidden shrine of misery
Laid to rest on hallowed ground
Of sanity that’s never to be found
Bleed the blessed and purge the soul
As I crawl back into that hole
A blackened pit of my despair
Leaves me with no will to care
Among the headstones far beyond
Somber skies that wake the dawn
Creating things that should not be
Closing walls of sanity
Bury pain so deep below
Where seeds of agony cannot grow
Of a time that heals no wounds
Hiding pain within its tombs
So drag the swamps
And scour the moors
Inside these mental corridors
Bleed the blessed and purge the soul
As I crawl back into that hole
A blackened pit of my despair
Leaves me with no will to care

Wintersick
05:14
|
|||
Madness creeps in to steal my mind
Unwelcomed ghost of some other time
Frozen bones seek hibernation
As winter wrath breeds consternation
Memories die with fading sun
Like claustrophobia upon my tongue
Nothing lasts forever
Outside the swirling ivory hell
Frigid air so mesmerizing
For inside it I shall dwell
Pacing floors of depression
A head so full of tricks
An everlasting bitterness
Has left me Wintersick
Beneath the frozen skies
As seen through crystal eyes
Poison the soul and devouring light
Of another hypothermic night

Our Poisonous Ways
04:30
|
|||
Burning bridges underneath a crimson sky
Cremate the heart and watch the spirit fly
In a world where nothing’s what it seems to be
The destroyer set out to kill your dreams
Familiar stranger that lurks in the night
Unleashing sorrow then fades out of sight
Mark my words for I’ve come to bring pain
To bury the past and extinguish your flame
Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways
Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways
Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways
Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways
Devouring light that once lit your way
Bring on the darkness, bringing darkness
Scatter the ashes of those who betray
I am the darkness, I am darkness
Acid words from venomous lips
Welcome darkness, welcoming darkness
In a world of scars and slit wrists
Engulfed in darkness, engulfing darkness
Familiar stranger that lurks in the night
Unleashing sorrow then fades out of sight
Mark my words for I’ve come to bring pain
To bury the past and extinguish your flame
Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways
Our Poisonous Ways, Our Poisonous Ways

The Letting Go
05:07
|
|||
Time has come to end all this
Put the dirt upon our grave
I bid farewell to you my friend
You’ve been led astray
Your light has brought the dark
Sealing off the will to breathe
Building walls around us all
Suffocates my every need
In times of desperation
Condemned to face alone
Your words bring absolution
Cutting deeper to the bone
In times of desperation
Condemned to face alone
Your words bring absolution
Cutting deeper to the bone
It’s the letting go
It’s the letting go
It’s the letting go
Just letting go
No longer ties that bind
Have turned to fratricide
Dead weight that holds me down
From a king without his crown
In times of desperation
Condemned to face alone
Your words bring absolution
Cutting deeper to the bone
In times of desperation
Condemned to face alone
Your words bring absolution
Cutting deeper to the bone

When Sanity Eludes Me
05:35
|
|||
I emerge once again
As cold as winter air
I’ve lost myself in lunacy
Mannequin of my despair
The walls begin to crack
And voices call my name
From far beyond the black
I will never be the same
Into the depths I plummet
Inside this living hell
When sanity eludes me
I’m trapped under its spell
Ignore the words
Dispel the voices heard
It’s just a trap
Beware...there is no turning back
I feel the fever
Of a thousand dreams
Smolder like the funeral pyre
Returning once again to fire
Ignore the words
Dispel the voices heard
It’s just a trap
Beware there is no turning back
Ignore the words
Dispel the voices heard
It’s just a trap
Beware...
I feel the fever
Of a thousand dreams
Smolder like the funeral pyre
Returning once again to fire

Knee Deep In Devils
07:15
|
|||
The Circling vultures
Await my demise
I wander aimlessly
With these cold dead eyes
The futures fires
Still ignite the past
So hold your tongue now
Pray it won’t last
Feeding the demons
Of death and despair
Closet of skeletons
Leaves a stench in the air
The bitter taste so rancid
Poisoning the soul
Bury my sacrificial heart
Six feet below
There is no longer the light
In a place such as this
When plunging headlong
Into the abyss
Lowered to the depths
Sinking to new levels
Immersed in agony
When Knee Deep in Devils
Knee Deep in Devils
Knee Deep in Devils
Knee Deep in Devils
Knee Deep in Devils

10 Days (Of Disbelief)
05:44
|
|||
One more day for remembrance
Another one to mourn the loss
Time stands still in these grieving hours
In bereavement I bear this cross
Heads hang low in reverence
From sickness within the womb
And death, that seems to hover
Like a black cloud over my tomb
Visions haunt lifeless eyes
One last breath as daylight dies
Darkness creeps slowly into view
Leaves me with the ghost of you
10 Days.......
10 Days.......
No praying words can resurrect
Or fill the hole within this void
Time arrives yet heals no wounds
That has left the heart destroyed
10 Days.......
10 Days.......
10 Days of Disbelief

Misery Mongers
04:54
|
|||
Hidden safe behind masks of normality
As serpents rise to spread their insanity
Some are determined to consume and devour
While others are left in the suffering hour
So plant the seed
Of that that should not be
The sullen darkness grows
To send the pain below
Relentless are the ways of the obsessed
Spitting in the eyes of the oppressed
Gather around and witness mankind’s despair
And revel in the wake of his nightmare
So plant the seed
Of that that should not be
The sullen darkness grows
To send the pain below
You poison the well
Then lead them to drink
Drown in the tainted waters
Of a mind pushed to its brink
If I sent you pain would you return the favor
Or would you take it all in and enjoy its flavor

Scorned Heart
05:10
|
|||
The entrance to the gates of pain
Leads me to this place, this place forlorn
Of many hearts left here to rot
And love that remains stillborn
Sorrow brings the hollow man
With stones inside my chest
Sewing seeds of suffering
So beautifully depressed
You come to me with a Judas kiss
On black wings my angel of anguish
Release me from this stranglehold
Of your love grown dead and cold
Sorrow brings the hollow man
With stones inside my chest
Sewing seeds of suffering
So beautifully depressed
Feed me from the poison tree
Wrap me in your cold embrace
I wither like a dying flower
Who’s roots have been displaced

Then Comes Darkness
08:50
|
|||
No fire, no warmth
No light to guide the way
Just faded memories
Of a dismal yesterday
No vision, no hope
No faith in the unseen
When the hand of fate comes down
And Smothers everything
Then Comes the Darkness
And nothing to believe
In cold and utter silence
With no chance for reprieve
No desire, no urge
No will to carry on
Brings a constant longing
Of what lies beyond
No breath, no pulse
Creates another sickness
Like poison in the veins
So bleak are the long days ahead
For those who mourn for the dead
Meet me in the dreams so real
Of darkened nights where pain congeals
Then Comes the Darkness
And nothing to believe
In cold and utter silence
With no chance for reprieve
No fire, no warmth
No light to guide the way
Just faded memories
Of a dismal yesterday
No vision, no hope
No faith in the unseen
When the hand of fate comes down
And Smothers everything

Voodoo - Die Young
06:32
|

Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new, cause I'm through
Call me a liar, you knew
You were a fool, but that's cool, it's all right
Call me the Devil, it's true
Some can't accept but I crept inside you
So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper your name
Cause it's Voodoo, yeah
Fade into shadow, you'll burn
Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good
Never look back, never turn
It's a question of time 'till you're mine and you learn
So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper your name
Cause it's Voodoo, yeah
Gather the wind, though the wind won't help you fly at all
Your back's to the wall
Life's fantasy to be locked away
And still, to think you're free, you're free, we're free
So live for today
Tomorrow never comes
Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothing you do will be new, cause I'm through
Voodoo
Bring me your children, they'll burn
Never look back, never turn
Cry me a river, you'll learn Voodoo
