AMIENSUS LYRICS

1. Beneath the Waves

In the oceans we sailed
Weightless bodies
Floating to our next
Destination
The sky
The sun
The heat of all our decision in our minds
What do you know
What do you feel
Is all you know
Really even real
Cold swells
Beneath, my feet
Numbing entity
White sand,
Warm breath,
Life ends, then begins
The sky
The sun
The heat of all our decision in our minds
What do you know
What do you feel
Is all you know
Really even real
Blistering heat, beneath the waves
White sand, warm breath, life ends, then begins.

2. Divinity

As the moon steadily grows
The shadows know my fate
Fear no longer bound
To this mortal soul
Bring me fire
Light this world
Burning desire
For new growth
As the sun, reaches noon
Blinding rays, simple truths
To this world, or the next
My soul, will find its fix
Bring me fire
Light this world
Burning desire
For new growth

3. To the Edge of Life

Burdened by his own fear
Burdened from the weight of many years
Carried within, his soul and mind
Stumbling across the mountain side
Master of his destiny
His fate within his grasp
Sworn to all
And sworn to none
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
The vision of the past
The vision of the future
Drawing us to what's next
Scrutinized, objectified
A pedestal of society
Our blood was born
Our hate was torn
But we never lost sight
Death can bring us to the brink
Life can take us to the edge
Staring into a void
A visage is worn
The figure, the shadow, the nightmare
The vision of the past
The vision of the future
Drawing us to what's next
Scrutinized, objectified
A pedestal, of society.

4. A Convocation of Spirits

In the midst of the night
I could feel the warmth
Ever longing
To be cared for
Always longing for the dark to subside
Wishful thinking
Couldn't bring you
Couldn't bring you
Back to life.
Where do you go now
Is there another life?
Can you still hear me
From the other side?
As I whisper your name
Do my thoughts reach you?
As I whisper your name
Do my thoughts reach you?
Listening for your answer
But I'll listen forever
There's nothing left here
But the cold dirt and your name
Where do you go now
Is there another life?
Can you still hear me
From the other side?

5. Euphorica

Below the castle lies
A graveyard built on
A thousand years of lies
Blood that bathed the ground
Hateful, inhuman screams abound
Forgotten, abandoned by their own race
How will we speak of the atrocities
Performed by our own hands
In the name of science and progress
We thought
We had created a better world
We’re wrong
All that is left is blood on our hands
And now that atonement has come
Will you sacrifice?
The freedom to live our own lives
That which we cannot forsake
And now that your clemency arrives
Will you remain the same
With every day lost
The memories begin to fade
Unspoken, a scar in our conscience
The loss of our humanity
The freedom to live our own lives
That which we cannot forsake
And now that your clemency arrives
Will we repeat the same mistakes

6. Drowned

The right of passage
Through the oceans mists
A siren that was sounding
A voice inside my head
I followed your every word
And left my cupboards bare
And into the ocean we sail
Drowned by the gods of despair
With each passing hour
My lungs are filled to the brim
Emotionless whispers
The scent of a maiden so fair
I followed your every word
And left my cupboards bare
And into the ocean we sailed
Drowned by the gods of despair
The darkened waters
Depths of hatred and toil
The pleas of the helpless
As they plummeted into hell
Drowned, deeper
Into the oceans trench
Drowned and feeble
Nothing can save me now

7. Cold Viscera

Drifting through the sky
Holding onto the night
With these dreams, I enter anew
Realm which can be alight
Honor and pride that which fuels the fire
Born into this sacrifice
Fodder for war, blood of kings and fathers
Of the holy orthodoxy
Shine, bring forth your light
Given unto the night
With thine eyes, watch it unfold
Looming towards the afterlife
Corruption of mans weakened souls
Stumbling in foolish naivety
Devoured by his own lust
Sworn to a life of depravity
Heaven above hath these things foretold
Majesty to thee ascribe
Heaven above watch these things unfold
I will put these nations to the sword
Divine! Blessed with inordinate glory
Bespoke sword of justice and will
Given now, unto me with thy trust
Enlisted to bring forth redemption
Within waves of sorrow
Bloodied blades will clash, decrying with fear
The light shall be blinding
And the heavens shall pronounce
With glorious sounds
Heaven above hath these things foretold
Majesty to thee ascribe
Heaven above watch these things unfold
I will put these nations to the sword
To the sword
Cold viscera, segmented limbs
Heaped upon the soil

8. All That Is Unknown

Wander, through thy dreams
Creation of a full moon sky
A vision within thy mind
Pictures flood
A withering garden
The vision unfolds behind my eyes
For now I see through a glass darkly
But here face to face;
As things are, and yet are not
Thoughts that were fragmented
And put away begin to assume personality
All that is unknown lay up in store with dragons
A yearning in my innermost being
To answer a call, leave the father’s house
And see the things I dread the most
Beholden to no one, I will crush them beneath my wrath
Consciousness is woven into the fabric of the universe
Planets formed and broken, skies erupt in flames, I am…
The master of all
I am sovereign
I am the king who reigns
Blood poured out, in worship
Reflect my coming age

9. Iconoclasm

What have I become
A leader of a tribe
A tribe who hates their God
Their countenance has fallen
A cold and bleak horizon stretched across our time
Am I real? Am I real?
The foundations of mountains are set ablaze, and the tongues of men confounded
I have left nothing alive of the enemy; their people are as a fading memory
Precious stones and pearls I have piled up with their bodies to be burned
Not one cattle, neither the vestiges of their Gods have I taken for the spoil
And yet my children rose up to play
Tempted away by such gilded nothings, the seeds of dissension were sewn from within
Wandering eyes found fixed upon the bust of the Whore of Babylon
A gradual pollution has caked the walls of their lungs
Breathing the fumes of dead flesh
Bones scattered in the ashes
They have sewn shut the mouths of prophets, urging them:
"Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits,"
"Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Lord to cease from before us."
Rolling and writhing in the mud, like unto beasts
Sinking into the bottomless pit.
