HARMANIC LYRICS

1. To Tread Forsaken Soil

There is a place you're not aware of
Still you're always a permanent guest
It is a place so dark and damp, you cannot breathe
Where your sanity is put to the test
A cloud of sound appears
It whispers and feeds your fears

Shallow voices speak in riddles
Show you directions with dead ends ahead
But on you walk, the endless miles, endless roads
Just to return to where your course was set

This unknown region, strange territory
Uncharted lands on the map of my sanity
Oblivion cast it's shadow across the plains
Not visible to me, I long to see anything

I struggle to recall, but I don't do at all
I don't feel misplaced, I feel I have been here before
I find a pathway that leads me further inside
To where forgotten memories hide
Hide beneath rocks and stones
Remains of what was known as
Wisdom's temple
Reason's fortress
Destroyed in wars of madness

And then you reach another dead end
You look around, strange sensations come over you
When suddenly a beam of light illuminates
The ground, the veil of doubt slowly torn apart

The veil of doubt slowly torn apart

I know this region
Black part of land on the map of my sanity
The spot of light on the soil makes me kneel
So visible to me, I can see everything
The earth is torn by my bare hands
My mud covered fingers, bruised and hurt
As rotten leaves and stones are past
I find my own face - buried in the dirt

2. Forced Upon The Throne

Empty shell - still extended to vast palace halls
There on the throne, the king of wraiths
He wears my eyes on my face only grey and pale
His death-cold grip makes sure I can't escape

I lost my grip, lost my reality
The screams they echo through the vast and darkened halls
As I awoke, sudden agony
Some evil will keeps me against the wall

“Hush now! And behold! Slowly! The king arising
Kneel down! Bow down now! Your soul, is his“

Shock of panic breaks the spell, now I’m on the run
Last spark of sanity drags me through the gates
The hollow eyes of the skull-shaped castle watching me
Ghastly resemblance of my own scarred face

Whispers
Rising
Turning into Screams
I scream

His angry hordes inside my head they’re grinding up my mind
Chew up the ties then yank out my soul

Can barely claim that I’m myself, the light leaving my eyes
The pit looming ahead
And as it's blackness swallows me, I breath my final sighs
Before they get me they'll get nothing instead

"In vain and futile! You won't defy your own fate!
We are immortal! We've taken what you owed to him now!"

Ascending stairs of bone, leaving all behind
Cheering crowd!
To rule the kingdom of the bleak, ever watching eyes
Allegiance to our liege!
Within this presence lies entrapped the glow of a soul
Under the Eboncrown
Until it fades and is renewed with a newly reaped one
Then forced upon the throne

3. Psychlops

Save my soul imprisoned in a liberty long lost
Reflections in the hourglass resembling a ghost
A barrier that draws itself against the inner sake
Forgetful of the precious inner sakes that are at stake

Set-in-stone deficiency
For I am truth not honesty
The creature must be slain or my effort dies again
Destination destiny

Haunted - dark presence at the gates
Wanted - the renegade awaits

The black eye and the white eye
A Psychlops, half blinded mind
My lie becomes your lie
Apprentice of the minus human kind

Hypocrite, surrender your self
Behold the rotten match shadows and spells to cast
Wipe your tears on my lived body of scars
Our matches match but scars don't stretch
Our matches match but scars don't stretch
Oblivious

Keep my soul imprisoned in this liberty long lost
Secret torture on display shall silence the opposed
Domination, recklessness, a self-important mind
Visionary monarch to the minus human kind

I'll take you with me on my trip of misery
Where hopes and terrors conjoin
I'll feed you my destructive decency
Cleansing, putrefaction - two sides of the same coin

Afraid I'm not
The born and cherished leader
The dark tomes demand a worthy reader
Grim but weak
Creator and death of rebellion
Rust on the back of my medallion

Come to trust
All I disgust
I worship and despise
For I am hatred in disguise

Take it in and in return you nourish me
With life and all its powers
Lay an eye on this supreme calamity
All you see is ours

A frayed out knot
Try to hold it together
The sore spots
To cover I endeavor
Forget I'm forgotten
Enchanting, misbegotten
Distinctive yet the same
This life in chaos' name I claim

Kill my soul or let it die and this life will almost
Have burned out in my temple, it’s completely decomposed
Kill my soul imprisoned in a liberty long lost
My burning pain and agony can't fight eternal frost

The black eye
Half blinded mind
My lie
Minus Human Kind

4. The Hollow Cause

Running on fire while your mind is set ablaze
But what's the service you get in return?
They enter your mind and force you to kneel and believe
For unbelievers certainly will burn
The doctrine of fear of deceit and suppression
Is all that's ever counted as true
And those who oppose will suffer and face their end
The executioner is you

Don't they dare to refuse and keep their ways
Make them obey your laws
They turned you into a ravaging tool of hate
For power calls for force
You're part of the vile pillaging host
And with them you'll fight their wars
No remorse
Burn the blasphemic heretics
Your creed
Is all they'll ever need
Will they bow their heads or die in vain

Mercy's reduced to mere memory
It is of no avail for their violent reign

March! March!
March across their broken spines

A valiant deaths man you are
Lead by their rule, it's justified
Executing orders, you fail to notice
That ages go by, how many have died?
Their blood, their tears
Their suffering
That's the price! Redemption's for sale!
Salvation is granted, let true faith prevail

Fire, all the world is set ablaze
By now you feel the pain of righteousness
Fed up by the killing, you were caught showing sympathy
You're scarred by the truth, they made you confess

The doctrine of fear of deceit and suppression
Now that you opposed, you'll suffer and face your end
Defamed, arrested and tormented then sentenced to death

You realize, you worshipped a false god
Feel the injustice that you've brought
You've been betrayed by their false cause

5. Sacrificial Blood

Blood sets me free

It burns so fiercely in my mind
Lust for what I'm about to find
Recallings of the night before
Once more I was a predator

At dawn my faces intertwine
I hide beneath the covers of day
At dusk my hunger grows to serve this purpose of mine
At night I roam the streets for prey

I sneak up on you and in your flesh I bury my teeth
They rip your skin and grind your bones - show me what's underneath
I have the power to take it all away
It all is over before the break of day

It burns so fiercely in my mind
It burns so fiercely in my mind

Lurking, waiting, tracing, stalking
Once again a dead man walking

I draw near
My outlines now materialize
You cannot run, but then you feel - I see it in your eyes
The fear of death
Your end is what you see
Your scream fails, I'm unleashed - you'll die for me

You're trespassing my habitat
The scent of fear flows from your sweat
Your death, the key
Blood sets me free

Countless times I've sacrificed
Amounts beyond my wildest dreams
I drowned my past in still warm blood And saw that it was all good
