Forever Enslaved

Cradle to grave
Hope to die
Curse the nightmare
Die inside
Never ending
Condescending
Lust for power
Master’s hand
False intentions
Abominations
Crush the memory
The flesh within
Flesh within
Oh
Forever enslaved
You want to be
And so it shall be yours
Your very own master
The flaming gates behold
Confidence
Maleficence
Crumbling towers
Lies inside
Devouring power
End to end
Close the flaming
Gates within
Graven eyes
Such demise
Count the hours
Empty will
Forever enslaved
You want to be
And so it shall be yours
Your very own master
The flaming gates behold
Forever enslaved
Forever enslaved
You wanna be
And so it shall be yours
Your very own master
The flaming gates behold
Your very own master
The flaming gates behold
Behold
Behold

Twilight
02:49

|

|
Across the fields of shame
That he dare not cross
A young man in despair
Betrayal in the air
Lost
In twilight
Now the darkness fades
Unveiled before his eyes
The seed which he hath sown
Reveals its deathly shape
With thorns as sharp as knives
And ghastly is his face
The beast
Unfurls
His wings
Lost
In twilight
Longing for his home
Vengeance on his heart
Behold the flash of steel
The beast is cleaved in two
Lost
In twilight

Dust to Dust

|

As the hour the awaits
Cold within my skin
The fabricated lies
Swallow the pill
How the emptiness has grown
Cavernous force of the will
And every time I slowly die inside
So you think you have the answer?
Well take a look at yourself
And the life that you own
Is dust to dust
Consecrated lies
Violence reborn
So tell me where are
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
So you think you have the answer?
Well take a look at yourself
And the life that you own
Is dust to dust

Endless Unknown
03:44
|
|
||
|
Running through ages
Fear upon fear
Morning of stillness
Curtains draw near
And how can this be the end?
With so much left to undo
So cast aside treasures so dear
And cling to the ones that are near
Past your fears beyond the fold
Into the endless unknown
I fall
I fall
Memories failing
Victory fades
Mourning in silence
Still I declare
That now I live in haste
With no more time to waste
Always the horizon was there
But never did cause me to care
I see the rock below me is nothing but air
The endless unknown shall unfold
Feel the blood rising through withering veins
See the end approaching
And casting your pains
As all your strength and will have failed
Descending upon you the endless unknown
Running through visions yet do not despair
Searching for answers that always were there
When all your hopes and all your fears
Collapse into one in the endless unknown

Suomela
04:30
|
|

|
In the end when it all is gone
In the end when your soul surrenders
In the end when it all is gone
The void awaits, everyone, you and me
Taking away, what you are, and what you will be
Violent life, meaningless death, but you still will
Witness beauty or the nothingness to come
In youth so vain and hollow
Funeral reveries, the wailing yet to see
Dark clouds horizon swallowed
Crashing down, the mortal veil
The blind lead the blind
Upon the endless tales of misery
Deafening silence, awaken from the dream
And will it ever come
Morning light, the waking hours
Descend and spiral downward
Fading out, all falls still
In the end when it all is gone
In the end when your soul surrenders
In the end when it all is gone
Standing before the gates of death, so calmly
Euphoric mind, chemical bliss, wraps around me
Anger and joy, fire of life, extinguish
Becoming matter blown across the stellar winds
From the cradle
To the grave
You have lead me
To this dawn I embrace
The blind lead the blind

Slave to Fear
03:31
|
|
||
|
Cold wind, emerging from the chasm
Lightning, streaks across the purple sky
Bleeding, bruised but only flesh is broken
Crawling out, into the everlasting night
Where are you now?
Break out
For you to be true
Wake me up
For you to be true
Take this cup
I’m in obedience, a slave to fear
Scaling towers I have built for years
Submitting to the lies of righteous minds
Can’t you see that they are all mute, deaf, and blind
Sickness
Sell me a cure
Weakness
Only empty words
Flame out
Ignite the fire again
Bleed out
Draining all that’s left within
Lockdown
Chains of the mind
Breakdown
Take what’s left behind
Undo
Suffering no more
Renew
Peace that breaks the endless war
Where are you now?
Break out
For you to be true
Wake me up
For you to be true
Take this cup
Healing following the endless scourge
Receding waters from the decimating surge
Serenity befalling wretched hearts
Embrace my maker before I am torn apart
Slave to fear

As the Darkness Falls
03:38
|
|
||
|
Dialing in to masses
The pestilence
Feed them lies in the darkness
So meaningless
Journey through the burning sand
See the vultures as they fly
Never reaching yet beseeching
Dawn awaits in blood red sky
As the darkness falls
I hope to see the light of the dawn
Yet my heart is stone
And yet the blood flows through my veins
And the fear is real
If you could only see
As the darkness falls
Never ending death
The serpent tongue, of
Silent walls of the answer
Are cast in stone, as
All of your fears
Become reality
And all of your dreams
Shattered across the emptiness
As the darkness falls
I hope to see the light of the dawn
Yet my heart is stone
And yet the blood flows through my veins
And the fear is real
If you could only see
As the darkness falls

Barren
02:58

|

|
Across the empty
Forsaken land
Dust to dust
Within a withered hand
This is the harvest
Of that which you have sown
This is the only way
Of a barren heart
Skyless
Forgotten
End to end
No pulse within the ground
This is the harvest
Of that which you have sown
Nothing but shadows
In a barren heart
Hope remains
Yet this heart of stone is still the weight I bear
Hope remains
Yet this heart of stone is still the weight I bear
A barren heart
A barren heart
This is the harvest
Of that which you have sown
Nothing but shadows
In a barren heart
Hope remains
Yet this heart of stone is still the weight I bear
Hope remains
Yet this heart of stone is still the weight I bear
A barren heart
A barren heart

Death Machine
04:33
|
|
||
|
Across the endless seas
Beneath a blood red moon I fly
With terror in their eyes
As the flames reach towards the sky
And I, shall lay all to waste
With no end in sight
Violence and apathy
Pile it in to the death machine
The massacre of humankind
Fuel for the death machine
The sickness of a fallen world
Gears turn in the death machine
Lights out! All shall see
Flight of the death machine
Cities lay in ruins
And all shall pay the price in blood
Ten fold
Never ending pain
How could we have grown so cold?
And now, the beast before your eyes
The death machine
Violence and apathy
Pile it in to the death machine
The massacre of humankind
Fuel for the death machine
The sickness of a fallen world
Gears turn in the death machine
Lights out! All shall see
Flight of the death machine

What Lasts Forever
by Nyktophobia
supported by 10 fans who also own “Shadow of Death”
German Melodic Death Metal. Non-stop blast beats & tremolo riffs as well as fantastic melodies - what more could you want? FFO Amon Amarth (but better!) & Insomnium. My only problem is it is far too short for a full length & more is needed... :) Lucky I bought their entire discography! Highly recommended!!!
