1. No Hell Like This

[Instrumental]

2. The Sacrament Of Flagellation

My portrait is a mosaic of disfigurement
A wrecked hive for the crawling larvae of terrible past lives
My sins are unforgivable and my faith is weak
Yet I am the beauty of so much pain and I dwell in the house of the lord

I cannot die
I can only relive as darkness within the forbidden corridors of time

Each day, I am the hurt that makes you love again
I am the sorrow of so many unfulfilled dreams
And I live within you
Beneath my ribs you'll prick your fingers
Just so that my heart can be yours...

Your access to the void;
Step inside, never look back
But remember this forever in my terrible sunshine
You returned, and achieved immortality
Be as I am today
Perish in the depths of becoming
That you would fall short of divinity
Because our destiny is reserved for sinners

And you were merely an insect
(Destroying yourself to be)
And you were merely an insect
(Destroying yourself to be)
And you were merely an insect
(Destroying yourself to be)
As a vagrant shadow

And you are merely an insect
(Destroying yourself to be)
And you are merely an insect
(Destroying yourself to be)
And you are merely an insect
(Destroying yourself to be closer now to God...)

I cannot die...
I live within you...

3. Darkness Becomes Flesh

4. It Could Be Wonderful

All these things I have are yours
Not even time can destroy
All these things I have that you have lost
It breathes a life, it breeds a lie
All these things I have are yours
Not even time can destroy
All these things I have were once lost
It breathes a lie, it breeds a life

The twilight of life is nearly complete
And we see ourselves no longer as the distance fades away
The soil opens to devour us now
And recycle the essence of our decline
To be the darkness to overcome
And the book, it closes now
All these things are not mine to give away
That we can begin again, again...

If you want them to listen
If you want them to respond
If you want them to go away
Just let them know
It could be wonderful

5. The Mosaic Of Fragile Promises

In our search for everlasting life
We inherited the disease of centuries
The cancer of perpetual longing
A constant inferno of dissolution,
quenched by the waters of purpose
We have a place in the universe
In the pantheon of suffering
Where the sins of our heritage
Are purged and scattered
A mosaic of ugliness to linger in time
What will satisfy our endless questioning?
from the comforting maw of oblivion,
A divine resounding answer of eternal affirmation,
The fragilest of promises

6. Oneiric Eternity

7. Aberration

8. Genesis Perfecta Maledictii

9. Homecoming

[Instrumental]
