DEATHBRINGER LYRICS

1. Prisoner

...слишком сознавать – это болезнь, настоящая
полная болезнь.
[Ф.Достоевский]

...Ein Kranker nun,
der an Schlangengift krank ist;
ein Gefangener nun,
der das härteste Loos zog:
im eignen Schachte
gebückt arbeitend,
in dich selber eingehöhlt,
dich selber angrabend,
unbehülflich,
steif,
ein Leichnam - ,
von hundert Lasten überthürmt,
von dir überlastet,
ein Wissender!
ein Selbsterkenner!..
[F.Nietzsche]

...Der Mensch, der sich in sich selbst verirrt hat, merkt
bald, dass er in irgendwelchen Wirbel geraten ist, aus
dem keinen Ausweg gibt; die Gedanken und die
Gefühle mischen sich in ihm, und er hört in
Verzweiflung auf, sich selbst endlich zu verstehen.
[S.Kierkegaard]

Jetzt -
einsam mit dir,
zweisam im eignen Wissen,
zwischen hundert Spiegeln
vor dir selber falsch,
zwischen hundert Erinnerungen
ungewiss,
an jeder Wunde müd,
an jedem Froste kalt,
in eignen Stricken gewürgt,
Selbstkenner!
Selbsthenker!..
[F.Nietzsche]

Light’s so far away from my sight
Intruding voices are filling my head
Another day or maybe another night
Is passing by taking what I have bled.

[Pre-Chorus:]
I’m roaming amongst my thoughts
I’m trying to reveal the truth
My own mind swallows me up
The truth is me.

[Chorus:]
I am a prisoner in the cell of a so called life
Blank dismay and throbbing pain in my soul made by another lie.

[Solo: Artyom]

Creeping darkness confronting my soul
Amorphous illusions unable to spawn
Same mysterious figure that I can not expose
I guess life is a thing that I do not even own.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Answers I won’t be able to find
My questions sink in purifying fire
Inside the corridors of my mind
My consciousness is trapped in a corner of ire.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

2. The Keeper Of Pain

Если хочешь ты яркие дали
Развернуть пред больными людьми
Дни безмолвной и жгучей печали
В своё мощное сердце возьми
Н.Гумилёв

I recreate the dimensions of pure sorrow
Collect the pieces of inner pain
I absorb the sufferings and follow
The blackened, sharpened blade of fate.

Look inside my mind
What you gonna see?
Souls full of scars
Mirror of reality.

I dissect the nothingness and fill it with squealing silence.

[Solo: Artyom]

Look inside my mind
What you gonna see?
Bounty of pain
Shattering world inside me.

I scrutate the minds that are formal
And search for grief, filtering lies.
You may say: it’s abnormal
I won’t even deny.

My perception of the world is too distinctive
No rest for the keeper of pain
Do not feel sorry for me
The purport of my life you won’t explain.

[Solo: Artyom]

3. I Am What I Am

Das menschliche Gefühl, das im Grunde genommen
oberflächlich und dem aufsteigenden Staub ähnlich ist,
duldet keine Anhänglichkeit; wenn es sich an etwas fesselt,
dann fängt es sehr schnell an, seine Fesseln rasend zu
ziehen und sich die Wand und die Ketten in Stücke zu reißen.
[F.Kafka]

I’m just another insignificant human being
In this empty world of hate and injustice
World where the truth and the freedom are unseen
Where people don’t really know what trust is

I am what I am
Another rotting wound
Ulcer
In this sick society

Lies, Pain, Sufferings, Gain
I Bleed, Suffocate; They Crush, Eradicate

[Solo: Artyom]

Nothing is left for me
Just to confound
The web of lies
Which suppresses individuals.

I am what I am
Another carnal disease
Cancer
Of this sick society.

Why do I have to kneel
To whom I may appeal
Life’s so poignant and pale
Blemish existence they try to veil.

[Solo: Artyom]

4. Castigatio

Im Menschen ist Geschöpf und Schöpfer vereint: im Menschen
ist Stoff, Bruchstück, Überfluss, Lehm, Kot, Unsinn, Chaos;
aber im Menschen ist auch Schöpfer, Bildner, Hammer – Härte,
Zuschauer – Göttichkeit und siebenter Tag – versteht ihm diesen
Gegensatz? Und das euer Mitleid dem “Geschöpf im Menschen”
gilt, dem was geformt, gebrochen geschmiedet gerissen, gebrannt,
geglüht, geläutert werden muss – dem was notwendig leiden muss
und leiden soll?
[F.Nietzsche]

Turn back the time to realize what is life as a progress
Displace obstacles to reprogram your mind.
Despair deny. Do not digress.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Wrap me in the bitterness,
Guide me in your track.
I’ll be your seeds of emptiness,
Humanity will be a soil for black.

[Chorus:]
The lever of evolution we are
From nihil we’ll create the Star.

Annihilate the chains that keep you still in abyss of thoughts
Divide entity; destroy the surplus parts;
Develop the germs of concepts.

[Solo: Artyom]

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m looking at the present
And I have seen the past
I foresee the future
I see the Starblast.

[Solo: Artyom]

[Chorus]

5. Aversion

Mein Grauen, mein Ekel, mein Erbarmen, all
mein Gutes und Schlimmes schrie mit einem
Schrei aus mir.
[F.Nietzsche]

Why should we live feeding our minds with deaths of others?
Behold how world has changed, but we’re the same beasts with atrophied feelings like others.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Distorting and smashing the rational world

[Chorus:]
Every day we become more addicted to devastation
Breaking the boundaries of what is unknown, we’re still counting on absolution.
Trying to hide from ourselves and failing to find compassion
We’re omnipotent human beings who still are afraid of existence of a God.
Why?

When the hatred was born in our minds?
Who pulls the strings?
Prepare for another lie, flowing with thoughts, filled with paralyzed dreams of becoming blind.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

[Solo: Artyom]

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

6. Labores Semper Tecum

Satan: “Me miserable! Which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell…”
[John Milton]

In the vortex of fire I move through the countless flock of the godforsaken ones to the stage, which reminds me
a block.

[Pre-Chorus:]
I see remains of their eyes flowing down their cheeks.
Crack of their skin deafens me.
The waves of sufferings and pain are washing me.

[Chorus:]
My wail of compassion drowns in the tongues of flame.
Hundreds of strings tighten me –
Immaculate harvester of mankind – the one to blame.

I scorn myself, contemplating what I’ve done with these helpless beings
With their Now, turned to None.

[Solo: Artyom]

I’m melting with poisonous smoke
I leak – I’m squashed shriek – I’m a flow.
I am bleeding with tears of flame, going into nothing,
To return in epochs again.

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

7. Aisthetes

Kannst du dir etwas Schrecklicheres als
der Ausgang vorstellen, wenn das Wesen
des Menschen auf Tausende einzelner Teile
zerfällt, der verstreuten Legion der vertriebenen
Dämonen ähnlich, wenn es das Wertvollste,
das Heiligste für den Menschen verliert –
die vereinigte Kraft der Person, das ein –
heitliche, wahre “Ich”?
[S.Kierkegaard]

[Instrumental]

8. Black Pilgrim

I drove my feet through a desert
Whose mirage fluttered like a host.
Voracious for glory, greedy for danger,
I roamed the horizons of al – Kulab,
Watching time level mountains
In its search and its hunger for me.
And I saw the sparrows swiftly approach,
Bolder then the onrushing wolf.
They spread in the tree of my youth.
I heard the flock in my branches.
And was caught on their beaks and claws!
Frank Herbert
Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes it’s form…
[Chuck Schuldiner]

There was a man so wise,
He jumped into
A sandy place
And burnt out both his eyes!
And when he knew his eyes were gone,
He offered no complaint
He summoned up a vision
And made himself a saint.
[Frank Herbert]

Won’t you join me on the perennial quest
Reaching into the dark, retrieving light
Search for answers on the perennial quest
Where dreams are followed, and time is a test.
[Chuck Schuldiner]

[Solo: Artyom]

My soul is bisected,
Threads of mind are torn.
Will journey through darkness ever end?
Will I finish alone?

I’m an outcast to people
Who are breaking my bones
My body is full of cuts and scars,
Thrown at with stones.

[Pre-Chorus:]
I’m fed up with blood and flesh

[Chorus:]
But you won’t see my tears
‘Cause my eyes are sewn
You won’t hear my screams
‘Cause my mouth is erased
The world is turning away from me
But I’ll be the first one to reject the decaying society.

Whirls of thoughts spin in your head
What do you worship in your life
Better forget.

Rain washes away
Mud and blood from my face
I don’t remember what time really is
Living through nights and dying through days.

Close your eyes, take my hand
You will see the clarity with your mental sight.

[Solo: Artyom]

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Waves of hatred pierce in your mind
When you look through the prism of reality
Better be blind.

I’m the last pilgrim on this perennial quest
In search of crystal mountain which delenda est.
