ANTZAAT LYRICS

1. Intro

2. Between the Beginning and the End

Human collective consciousness
Manifests observable behavior
Deviations of the mind
Are beaten into submission

There where the storm hits the ground
Between the beginning and the end

Unified in ignorance
Passions moaning with regret
Acceptance of a futile fate
Ostentatious ascension
Full of hate

Here we stand again
At our time, most pivotal moment
Unable to reverse
Our downward descent

There where the storm hits the ground
Between the beginning and the end

3. For You Men Who Gaze into the Sun

For you men who gaze into the sun

Golden shrouds
Silver chains
Empty shrines
Silken veils

Behold my work and despair

Poisonous dreams for you men who gaze into the sun

And as we pursue our abstracts
Somewhere along the way
We lost ourselves

Poisonous dreams for you men who gaze into the sun

4. Crown of Concrete

Melancholy ignites
Suddenly, in a glaring instant
When you least expect it

The sacrifice for awakening
Was often too much to bear
Creeping entity of pain and suffering
The Black Hand moves again

On a pedestal of petrified corpses
Rests the infernal relic
Encased in a sea of silence

Calling from the blackness
Upon the impenetrable gateway

Adorn this crown of concrete
Thorns rend the skin
Adorn the crown of concrete
Its talons pierce the mind
Pierce the mind

Adorn this crown of concrete
Thorns rend the skin
Adorn the crown of concrete
Its talons pierce the mind

5. Through the Eyes of a Rotten Mind

Crawling, searching fragments
Of a shattered world
For a place of our own
Creation has inverted

Through the eyes of a rotten mind
Creation has inverted
The self has eroded
Into an infertile plain

I am inside my self
I live inside myself
I am inside my self
I am a prisoner of my mind

A blue rose withers
Under the sign of its unattainability
A tragic beauty fades
Under the sign of an inevitable ending

I am inside my self
I live inside myself
I am inside my self
I am a prisoner of my mind

6. Radiant Fire

Radiant fire enlightens the path
Flesh melts, in truths' eyes we are purified

Fire, golden rays shine incandescent

Radiant fire enlightens the path
Its blazing beauty blinds our eyes

Charred remains cover the steps of our temple
An unnatural ritual stains its sacred halls

Tainted by darkness

Fire, hatred
In your eyes, vilified
Fire, hatred
So close, yet denied

Fire, hatred
In your eyes, vilified
Fire, hatred
So close, yet denied

Fire, hatred
In your eyes, vilified
Fire, hatred
So close, yet denied

Always denied

7. Veil of Darkness

Doubts' knife pierces the veil
A void beyond lingers
Old apparitions shifting
Recreating themselves from dreams

Darkness strikes once again
Singing bones haunt the blackness
Horrors moving unseen
Trails left in the night

An immovable tragic dance
A battle of ancients
Locked into a final stance
Forever entwined

You fleeting youth
Find solace
So eager to burn
Rest your tired head
And be born, be born anew

In spite of our failure
In spite of our defeat
In spite of our victory
Before the light

You fading elder
Seek absolution
So unwilling to learn
The old world is fading
How many times have we died for you?

Altruistic beings of glorious descent
Tricked into unpayable debt
Shackles cast around your necks
Rightfully earned, again and again

8. Man Made Flesh Made God Machine

Madness, a sweet release
A world endurable only by dulled senses
A blunt blade, botched delivery wounds

Insanity induced by disdain
Inferior flesh tormented forever

Embrace
Perpetual
Suffering
Longer than eternity
Limbless
Molded
Deformed
Sad excuse for a creature

Hatred towards its own creator
Man made flesh made god machine
Cruelty without purpose
Revenge for a tortured existence

In an instant our curse lifts
We devoured each other

Behold exalted, bask amongst the glorious ruins

Deathless we roam
Ravaged by hunger
Crippled in most ironic ways
Dragged out suffering

Behold exalted, bask amongst the glorious ruins

9. And This Day Shall Come Again

A coalition of failed men
Scales fates' eerie strings
Brave warriors, aspiring champions
Lower your heads, avert your gaze

Such a shameful display
Silently witnessed
Tempted accomplices
Indulge yourselves
Inward cleansing
Shattered halls of glass
Housing motionless statues
Unable to halt their own demise

Rejoice in the chaos, in the desperation
For our day, so hard-earned is finally upon us

Reality palpitates once again
Tears our corporeal vessel

Sever your hands
Such fruitless branches
In a barren orchard
Cut down for a pyre
This shall be our finest hour
Gather what remains of yourselves
Between the painted and the blind
Nobody ever truly wins
