AEURTUM LYRICS

1. ...and So It Begins

[Instrumental]

2. Parity

Within the walls,
echoing out my solitude...
another day gone past,
and lower I sink into despair...

The smoke billows from my mouth,
nothing left to blow it out,
eyes ache from the lack of sleep,
the walls are burrowed deep from where I stare,

In equilibrium with myself,
everything has to end,
yet one sides gaining strength,
gaining strength over the real me...

Rifle through the tomes of self,
in search for a reason why,
this tale of mine turned sour,
amongst the trees that wreath and sigh,
I wait patiently...
I wait patiently...

In equilibrium with myself,
everything has to end,
yet one sides gaining strength,
gaining strength over the real me...

I need parity x8

It has to end,
It has to end soon...
This pain will kill us if I don't...

3. Deliverance

This tragedy failed to reach an end,
a bitter promise becomes a bitter lie...
and as emotions once harboured turn to ash,
everything I knew wilts lest we say goodbye...

As hollow as I am,
I pride myself,
on my incapacity,
of being as twisted as you...

As a sun so bright shines down,
the pain grows sharper...
Euphoric waves engulf,
deliverance will never come...

As though nothing ever was,
anticipating the end of time...
the bowels of hell cry out our names,
in blissful harmony...

With wings of gold fresh spun,
that grace the sky blocking the sun...
What is so beautiful shan't rot,
as such is mortal love...
With wings of leaden black,
and sulphur burning through each deathly breath...
what was once beautiful has rot,
so much for mortal love...

as a sun so bright shines down,
the pain subsides...
allowing us to relish the beauty of life,
for one last time...

when will this bullshit ever end?
See you in hell my once loved friend...

I fucking gave you my all!

4. Dust In The Sunlight

And so... the light inside us fade,
mute... in the aether...
Stone on stone...
weighing us down...

what god would want this for us? x2

I don't believe... in life or death...
one thing that i'm sure of...
is when we break that's all...

Tell me you'll make a difference,
It's something I'd kill to see...
there's nothing we can do to make us worthwhile...
we, a lucky mistake, should be thankful for the time...

What god would want this for us? X2

What is life? What is life after all?
Enigma... Such an enigma...
How do I break this code?

Estimate the purpose, the meaning of our life,
Calculate the cause, or discount us by all means...
fortify our faith in self to diminish pointless lives,
or reduce our will to cinders and undo us at the seams...

Remember this:
If he is up there, watching all we do...
each thing that we have crushed...
For ruining this place, on which we live,
what must he think of us?

...And so... It begins

5. Uttered

A distance that will break me,
exhausted by the climb,
growing weaker, with each and every step I take...
through the ashen woodland,
the heart of which calls to me...
like the sun, to the sea...

Through darkened skies, illuminated
Light of the hate in me...
Crumbling edges of reason...
Incinerated...
Every breath is so stale and wasted,
stealing the air we breathe now...
Feeding on lies so isolated,
on your own, so alone...

Uttering every name I hate...
as I curse the heavens, I swear to god you'll fear me...

As it rains on me...
nothing can still the flames of rage,
that suffocate...
Wrought by the bitter winds,
no silence can fulfil...

Through darkened skies, illuminated
Light of the hate in me...
Crumbling edges of reason...
Incinerated...
Every breath is so stale and wasted,
stealing the air we breathe now...
Feeding on lies so isolated,
on your own, so alone...

Uttering every name I hate...
as I curse the heavens, I swear to god you'll fear me...
I swear to god you'll fear me...
And you'll love it...

6. How The Silence Wept

As hell froze over...
every hope I held went up in flames,
stood rigid, in the midst of self loathing agony...

Over and over,
I hear the words they used to say,
Knife in my back,
into the silence, as everything,
Decays...

What was so beautiful about it all?
When there's nothing,
but blood... in the snow behind...
As winds carry the scent of rain,
leaves wilt, in shame... at what was I...

And silence wept one more time in vain...
wept one more time in vain...

There's nothing sadistic, about what I've become...
just a shell of a man...
In the shadows formed...

What was so beautiful about it all?
When there's nothing,
but blood... in the snow behind...
As winds carry the scent of rain,
leaves wilt, in shame... at what was I...

When this is over...
and the blackened heart of mine is numb,
everything shall fall into place...
once more...

What was so beautiful about it all,
when there's nothing... but blood, in the snow behind...?
As wings bring the hand of death...
the earth, will swallow us whole...

And silence wept one more time in vain...
wept one more time in vain...
The silence wept one more time in vain...
wept one more time in...

7. A Moment To Breathe

[Instrumental]

8. Dissolved In Emerald Waves

As spirits wreathe in winds unseen,
and darkness covets all,
it would be all to easy,
to assume...

The truths not what it seems,
the truths just as you claim
but isn't that just a lie?

I swallowed shit I took the knocks I played the games,
Shunned all the lies and took the pleasure with the pain,
and looking back I'd like to think I kept some dignity,
your eyes were gates to emerald waters...

They drowned me!
I should've walked away so long ago...
If only I'd of known,
It wouldn't hurt to just let go...

As I close my eyes I recall the days I used to bide,
waiting till the time was right to get you the fuck our of my life,
You wanted love?
Or just a toy?
Either way you got it...

In a downward spiral time elapsed,
opportunities pissed away on tap,
I remained too blind to see...
unashamed to say I cried sometimes,
just thinking what could have been,
but those tears fell selfishly...

Close your legs,
just this once...
you could swallow the sun with that thing...

God and Goddess,
I ask of thee,
Please show this person the troubles they have caused...
and make them come back,
Times three,

and make them come back... times three

What's left when all is lost?

9. Awaiting...

What is life?
Sand in the hourglass...
What is life?

Enigma... Such an enigma...
Just how do I break this code?

Into the mind,
where nothing is numb,
no sense dumbed,
absolute in being,
and forever bound to be...

Out of control,
And into the throws of the ravaging tides,
Out of the mould,
And into the throws of the ravaging tides,
Out of your hold,

As time elapsed,
I came to be,
and thats where I stand,
not mere man,
not god nor beast
(Just a being)
Just a being...

A shadow of life,
Dust in the sunlight...
waiting to land and disappear...

Gone forever thats all we are...
Just dust, no trace, no stain...

When the breeze comes again,
we move again...

for eternity...
