CIRCLE OF OUROBORUS LYRICS

1. A Root Casket

A lonely melody / from the white skeleton keys / a distant sorrowful requiem / The suffocating soil / transforms into air to breathe / around my narrow realm / A maze of roots / under the woods / hear my call / answered by all / all these kingdoms / houses without windows / rulers and kings / eyeless they sing / A lonely melody / accompanied by the choir of ages it reaches the tops of trees / an under world cult / praising the shapeless one / icon like abstract form / These mouths suck / every drop / from our veins / from pleasures and pains / Inverse, rebellious bitter sweetness / sprinkling the herbs on this sadness

2. Demon In Iron

The watery earth heaves like a poisonous sea / the world on the edge of decadence and greed / one thousand three hundred and thirty two hands / open the wounds of these weak lands
Rise!
Be the fundament of our belief
Rise!
Be the principle, the light and the seed
Now even love can turn its face to dark / the bells toll for the time to learn and hark / the words of wisdom from between the jaws / phrases of fire and primal laws / One hand for giving, another for punishment / one side for rage, another for discouragement / take your side, take the step from the line / one way or another, the doom will be thine
Rise!
Be the fundament of our belief
Rise!
Be the principle, the light and the seed

3. Show Me The Way To The Wishing Wall

I've been waiting and wailing / on the ground with rotten fruits failing / away from our shores sailing / fearing the serpent scaling / Then in the spring you come / and this heart burns with shame wintry shapes are undone you violate and I am to blame / This is when the truth reveals it surrounds the minds entwined once again my heart it steals / lulls to sleep with a restless lie / Then we are both lonely / and I am standing there / I could wish you to hold me / to turn down the warmth of your stare / But you know me all too well / to such foolish hope to agree / you just escape like the sound of a bell / even if I could never make you flee / So we pass in silence / and the passion freezes once more / you keep slipping through my fingers / for greater minds to adore

4. Twisted Fruit Of Doom

Rotten fruits / abhorrent harvest / we gather skulls / instead of fertile joy / The twisted fruit of doom / we enjoy your luxuriance / the twisted fruit of doom / the ending of our innocence / This cold August / delivers its offerings / we sink our teeth / into dead meat / The twisted fruit of doom / we enjoy your luxuriance / the twisted fruit of doom / the ending of our innocence / Morbid incense / of this bloody garden / we breathe dust / the pollen of future death / Soulcages in my basket / all are coming here / dismal celebration / drink and feast! / The twisted fruit of doom / we enjoy your luxuriance / the twisted fruit of doom / the ending of our innocence

5. Dead Eyes, Dead Soul

Eyes are the mirrors of your souls, they say / but I'm so blind, a castaway / I tried to get into my thoughts / I endeavoured to rise, not to fall / Dead eyes, dead eyes... dead soul / The mirror and the reflection / my life and its destruction / Is this rot in or out of me? / Are my eyes too dead to see? / While walking among these graves / of living, breathing names / they look at me with their stars / they are looking into my scars / Dead eyes, dead eyes... dead soul / Stitches in my dried flesh / two pits for you to bless / these prospects of sin are erased / two pearls gone, I'm saved / White and thin like paper / like a hollow egg shell / something so fragile / can't keep your soul / it has flown away / with the sin of this world / the new inhabitant is here / free, streaming wisdom
Dead eyes,
dead eyes,
dead soul

6. Summer Graves

7. Puu Nukkuu Haudassaan

Puu nukkuu haudassaan / juuret kohti taivastaan / kuin armoa anoen / antaisinko siunauksen? / Annan kasvaa kuoleman / annan viimeisen suudelman / karkealle kaarnalle / ikuiselle haavalle / Ja kun käännän katseeni / näen viimein luojani / hän ei voi koskaan oppia / miten loppu on alkua / Puu nukkuu haudassaan / juuret kohti taivastaan / kuin armoa anoen / antaisinko siunauksen? / Ja kun käännän veitseni / tapan viimein luojani / hän ei voinut oppia / miten loppu on alkua

8. Through My Fingers

Who has cast this shell? / who has cast this empty shell? / who has broken the surface / and let enter the hell? / Warmness before emptiness / before the tamed waves / I burn to the core a lifetime in a day / But now these scorched hands they touch my memories but now through my fingers run the wind and the freeze I have become so frail / I have become so fatally frail / I have burned all the leaves / and all the prayers / Hopelessness is my goal / my wide open door / a bitter life in pieces / I hunger for more
