A SICKNESS UNTO DEATH LYRICS

1. Zub Zero

[Instrumental]

2. Epic Fail

This is the hour of revelation
The endorphine is rising
This is Euphoria
An anthem for Utopia
This is us ascending
Bound to fall again

At the end of the day
Between invocations
And instincts profane
We cross ourselves in shame in epic fail

This is the hour of revoking
The juggernaut is rising
This is our web of lies
In garments of filth
the naked truth is disguised
This is us us afraid
to recognize ourselves

At the end of the day
Between invocations
And instincts profane
We cross ourselves in shame in epic fail

Craving
Like a chosen race praying
Immortal reborn
Raging
Like sullen children waging
struggling stubborn

At the end of the day
Between invocations
And instincts profane
We cross ourselves in shame in epic fail

At the end of the day
United by instincts we bow in decay
When zero turns one
the trigger will come

3. Rain Of Shards

The strain has come at last
Revealed in water so pure
with every drop like razors
The burden will dissolve

In awe I stand
The air I drink
Vanguards of clouds
Caressing the ground

Though indifference I seek
Hatred is charming me
To taste damnation's kiss this night
To soar over pain and affliction
And the long lost silence within my mind

In the water's surge I await the dawn
If tomorrow is lost, let this be the day
To feel the ecstasy once again
I cast my face towards the rain

Court to the flame
Spoil to the grain
Vanguards of clouds
Caressing the ground

Evaporated memories rewind
Dashing on the ground as to remind
What yesterday forgot, tomorrow will recall
Once and for all

As the sense of reality fades away
My soul becomes one with the rain
Its shards grazing me like
Solemn hatred washing me free from memories

4. Goddess In Dust

The wings start to tremble
The ripping inside
The wages of treason not fading
Nor paying shelter for the gods

She hangs her head in agony
In a veil of shame she hides

All her creatures once marvelling
Now abandoned her grace
In the tunnels she flooded
Now she found her grave
The warmth that she gave
Now burning our eyes
And the song she intoned
Now sings itself

Away her breath is dying
A goddess in dust
My eyes so pale enshrining
The goddess in dust

She hangs her head in agony
In a veil of shame she hides
She shrives her sins so deathlessly
Mortality is nigh

No icon adorned by the charm of her eyes
Forgotten is her fraud and her lies
The hand that she filled
Carved a tombstone of gold
And the tongues that enthroned her
Breed verdict on her soul

Away her breath is dying
A goddess in dust
My eyes so pale enshrining
The goddess in dust
A ghost light now is dying
A goddess in dust
Eternity denying
The goddess in dust

Abandoned by the masses
Far away from heresy
The queen of solace
still lives on

Her words so adulating
still enthroned
in the hearts of her disciples
yearning for comfort

And as the dead bury the dead
They still gather her remnants
Digging in the cursed ground
Of this cemetery divine

In an attempt to revive her
Driven by remorse
In their last breath they joined
the funeral of a fallen deity

5. Gallows Tree Thy Name

Woken from a shallow sleep
Woken by remorse
A body like a shell so pale
swallowed all my thoughts

My memories so numb in vain
Displace this guilt and shame
A blurry void inside my head
Cannot deny
My conscience calls

Again I try
Repeating to deny
This is not me but some devious dream
Again these signs I can't combine
Still I'm accused by your eyes as you die

Paralyzed by tongues of fear
Your words they burn inside of me
The disgusting demons of my works
Claiming me
possessing me

Left within this sin alone
The moment of obsession is gone
My heart it bears this burden
Like the weight of stones
The gallow's call

Again I try
Repeating to deny
This is not me but some devious dream
Again these signs I can't combine
Still I'm accused by your eyes as you die

"For godly sorrow works
repentance to salvation
The mourning of the world
worketh death"

The knot is tightened
The traitor's frightened

Again I try
Repeating to deny
This is not me be but some devious dream
Again these signs I can't combine
Still I'm accused by your eyes as you die
My words betrayed this kiss of fate
Left nothing but one resolve
Thus consequent
This bitter end.

6. Despair

[Instrumental]

7. Ghost Light Dawn

The loom gales of eternity
Like fallen angels guiding me
In absence of humanity
Returning to its purity

Crushed by the waves of density
The effort of humanity
The air conceives a breathing fear
The only sound I hear in this serenity

Salvation is in sight
Desolation is in sight
Radiation is in sight
The trees are glowing red this night

What anguish to drown
In this reckless poison
That spares our lungs from water
But scourges is its death in our eyes

I am the night to remember
(You pay a life to forget)
I am the tree of knowledge
I am grief, the salt in the tears you shed

Gone is the scourge divine
Hail the monster we created
Radiation crowned humanity
Reward us death by Karachay

How they wish they could end what they began
What with bloody hands they planned
This earth fulfils until the end

Behold these clouds are shaped with evil grin
Because we all did share their sin
And their conspiricy within

I am the saviour enchanted
The poisoned gold your hands will grasp
I am curruption on the formless void
For all that man creates will be destroyed

8. Ruined

This is hell
This is betrayal
breath is trembling
the body relieved
death conceived
after lust received
Repentance dies
as eyelids close
waiting for the final stroke

The face I meet in search for trust
beholding me with a traitor's eyes
The lips I feel upon my cheek
proclaiming all the traitor's lies

Repeat the lies I wish to hear
All the fraud I refused to fear
And while you feast upon this well of sin
Still I embrace
This faith is dead

This is pain
This is refrain

Eyes refuse to turn their gaze
Forced to endure within this daze
Sophism reigns
behold: the man
Ashes to ashes, flesh to flesh

Our hands into this bowl they sink
This chalice now is yours to drink
A toast to this iniquity
ruined by your own decree

Repeat the lies I wish to hear
All the fraud I refused to fear
And while you're caught in this veil of sin
Still I embrace
This faith is dead

I roamed this fields in search for you
To find a wreck of shame and emptiness
Like a waste of broken dreams
Dangling in the glowing autumn sun

Repeat the lies I wish to hear
All the fraud I refused to fear
And while you're caught in this veil of sin
I will refrain

Rebuke the lies I wish to hear
All the fraud
depart from me
And while you feast
upon this rope of sin
I will refrain

"The mourning of the world worketh death"

9. Flames Leap High

The flames of grief
now meet their enemy
And so does the pain at last
remembered as relics of trumpery
consumed by vanity
Let it pass

The mystery of faith
disguised in clothe of despair
Angst in the eye of the saint
the hard-earned soul is at stake

Begging at the gates of sanity
The sickness unto death to receive
Pondering inside of me
As the flames leap high
instead of tears to cry
The coming light I see

Will this effort and rage inside
calm now in this final hour?
Will this crown of thorns I wear
Turn out to be refuge or misery

Begging at the gates of sanity
The sickness unto death to receive

All I am – all I want
Vanity
All I hope – all I fear
Vanity
All I curse – all I bless
Vanity
All I speak – all I hush

All I know – all I doubt
Vanity
All I sow – all I reap
Vanity
All I pass – all I fail
Vanity
All I gain
All I lose
Compared to you
