ASCENSION LYRICS

1. Garmonbozia

[Instrumental]

2. Ever Staring Eyes

Ten thousand tentacles
Embrace the heart at night
Where pitch black skies below the earth
Are enlightened with rays of future yesteryears light
Slowly torn from sense and from sanity
Voices from beyond the raging tides
Morning whispers inside darkness undead
Chanting choirs - madness nights

Ten thousand scoffing throats
Engulf the heart at night
Beyond approaching dark clouds
Formless shades fly out of sight
These walls they speak, they haunt and they unfold
Under crumbling clay - a stench so fowl and old
Hypnotized by the terror that meets the eye
Maddening glare - maddening gaze
Fever pitch - black star blaze

Necronaut koma
Hovering above the center of light
Dweller on the threshold
Underneath ever staring eyes

Evil gods on madness feeding
Blinded sight - the mind left bleeding
Things unseen forever fleeting
Under a dead sun's merciless glance

Dark creatures on hearts feeding
Thresholds burning - ever breeding
Things unseen forever fleeting
Under ether let us dance

Necronaut koma
Dragged into the core of frenzy
Guardian on the threshold
Underneath ever staring...

Necronaut koma
Hovering above the center of light
Dweller on the threshold
Undernearth ever staring eyes

3. Dreaming In Death

Idpa Namtar Utuk Alal
Bursting forth through the gate
Sleepless formless heartless ageless
Enter - tear down
Feast on hearts
And bury from inside

Uruku Gigin Telal
Storming through the gateways
Of starless darkness
And hallways of
Sleepless formless heartless faceless and shapeless
Boundless nameless ageless horror

Hail - sleeper in Nar Mattaru
Mankind trembles in fear
As dark waters stir
Awake - sleeper in Nar Mattaru
Lying in wait
Dreaming in death

You will not know them
You will not see them
There will be no sign
You will not hear them
You will not feel them
But there will be a time

You will not hear them
You will not feel them
Roaring in outer space
You will not know them
You will not see them
But there will be a place

Seven steps below
Seven gates await

Hail - sleeper in Nar Mattaru
Mankind trembles in fear
As dark waters stir
Awake - sleeper in Nar Mattaru
Lying in wait
For too long
Dreaming in death

4. Ecclesia

The sound of the bell
Transforms the nature of the heart
Wanderers in twilight
Where the trails of life and death vanish

This is our church
This is our temple
Were we called out of the world?
Or did we leave ourselves?
This is our oath
This is our burden

It is hard to see the rotten body
Underneath the golden armour
And it is hard to see the scaffold
When the lights blind you from all sights
Abandon Hope

All ye who enter here
For this is our church
This is our temple
This is our blessing
This is our curse

As dark stars have risen high
And the moon brightens the way
Forever under the rose
Towards redemption day
This is our nature
This is our heart

As dark stars have risen high
And the moon brightens the way
Forever under the rose
Towards redemption day

This is our church
This is our temple
This is our blessing
This is our curse

5. Pulsating Nought

As all these patterns fade
And colors merge into grey
I reach the portal bizarre
Step into me while I pass!

Rancid grey light
Evaporates my eyes
Radiant night
Takes clearest sight
Wounded summer sky
Pour down
Pulsating nought, ravage me
A soul must die

As all these patterns fade
And colors die into grey
When all these walls collide
I pass... and disintegrate

Lucid visions of repugnant fume
Materialize in shapes forbidden
The obscene scent of a blazing noise
You fill and fulfill me now

Trapped in the nought
Roamingg above the valley of death
Fiery pit
Loosing my grip
Falling....
Down the bottomless well
The gatesways through your rotten heart
Tumble down and lick the poison crown
And drown...
Forever

Rancid grey light
Evaporates my eyes
Radiant night
Takes clearest sight
Wounded summer sky
Pour down
Pulsating nought, ravage me
A soul must die

Fragile are the threads, I know
And yet I need to tear
For once I'll leave my flesh behind
I must return in fear...
...To disintegrate again and become

6. Thalassophobia

Close your eyes
And cease to dream
For what you thought
You could and could not see
Will no longer be your reality
Beneath the visible world
The restraints become clear
In a chasm where life should not exist
You will vanish in fear

Under the surface
True horrors await
Ineffable abominations of aeons passed
And all the dangers that are concealed by dark
Under the surface
Lingers the unspeakable

Close your eyes
And abandon all hope
For what you thought
What could or could not be
All along has been a reverie
There are but terrors
On the way to the self
Despair and lunacy
Will stay with you
And they will carry the sound of your voice
Only deafened by silently roaring noise

Under the surface
True horrors await
Ineffable abominations of aeons passed
And all the dangers that are concealed by dark
Under the surface
Lingers the unspeakable

Time and time again
You told the world
That darkness is your element
And that you begged the I to fade
But when I dragged you under water
Your eyes would tell
That you were afraid

7. Stars To Dust

Earth dissolves into water
Illusions conflagrate behind the eye
The liars last stand has begun

In the vessel lies broken and dry in front of you
Will you take a hammer
Or will you renew?

Smoke rises underneath your feet
Suffocating the ties to life
Time has stopped to crawl
Mind confused, getting weak
As water transforms into fire

Flying sparks ascend to hell
Falling from the ground
It has grown cold now
As fire dissolves into air

Visions of future past
Fall to the ground and rise again
Absence takes control
As air dissolves into nothing

Red and white
Above and below
Colliding
Amidst the heart

Will you take a hammer
Or will you renew?

A burning candle may lead the way
Or will you be lead astray?
A burning candle may lead...
Astray

8. Vela Dare

Seven candles burn at the rail
The winds have grown silent
The sea no longer is in turmoil
And a pale moon has risen high
As we lay on our vessel
In the midst of dark waters
Frozen in time

Staring into the pitch black night
The lights that shine in the distance of the havens
Grow dimmer and dimmer, fading

You will not sway or lure us aside
For our only way is down
Our blood is the blood of vengeance
Our spirit the spirit of vengeance

Like an old memory, eradicated from the world
There we have lain
On grey grass
Amidst flowers without a scent
Below skies without fire
Standing still
Illuminating... nothing
Where would we go from there
But nowhere?

7 candles
Extinguished one by one
As the cere grows hard and cold
The abyss opens up for us

Lightning strikes the sky
Furious tempest, roaring thunder
Clear light of death - shine unto us

Sanity and madness embrace in agony
Blood rushes inside and outside
In an eternal dance between presence and emptiness
White clear blue skies
Turn to pitch black holes

A solicitation answered
A call finally heard
We can no longer see
What binds our world and the three

Towards the end
Don't try to sway or lure us aside
For our only way is down
The maelstrom awaits
Unbound from anyone
Where do we go from here
But anywhere?
