MASK OF SEMBLANT LYRICS

1. Arcane Progeny

Woven in her deepest memories
The eerie sight of burning effigies
Long gone

Sleeping through days and
Hurting through nights
She turns to the darkest corners of the mind
Dead inside

A long time before you finally realize
Taken away from the haven of a dream
Now two worlds collide
United as one, a mind-spirit synergy

Trembling hands - suddenly regain their strength
A body in communion with high progenies of the arcane

"The air is cold
And brutally still
The enlightenment of old
Bending to her will"

In front of the young woman
Cards move swiftly, shadows dance
She sees a bird of augury
And is woken from her trance

2. The Red Domain

Not so long ago
These fields were bathed in youthful blood
Victims of a vicious crime

Beneath the green grass where you stand
Lies a rotten, red domain
Nourishing every tree and vine

A red domain
The earth has fed on their remains
Graveless children of the night

And when the rain
Falls upon this land
No one can ignore their cries

Ghostly voices creeping despair

When drops of blood
Begin to pour
From the tainted roof
We feel a chilling aura
On our knees we madly beg
For our lost souls to be spared
But the children have made up their minds

"Bleeding stars in the crimson sky
With cloud of stinking corpses laid to rest
All love's lost, hope is but a stillborn dream
The devil himself now cowers in face of our rage."

3. Witch

Running across the darkened woods of despair
I heard the caw of a crow
Its wings that once flapped so wildly
Hit the snow

The atmosphere was suddenly still
I saw a shadow standing on the hill.
In its laughter I could sense a thirst to kill

My senses started to fail
When she finally released the veil
The witch making me unable to inhale

Walking hand-in-hand with demise
She's showing my doom in her eyes
Alas! I'm surrounded by a cloud of flies

Serenely as a breeze,
The words she utters are these:
"Now you suffer, soon you'll be at ease".

Death has woken you to a new form of life
In a human mind

Now I cast down my own final sacrifice
In these blood-stained woods
No one but me survives
May you love, cry, and die in your future life

But you'll never fly

4. Dying Star

I've never grasped the full impact
Those endless, dead days had on me
And now that all is said and done
One question still remains
Have I always
Been my worst enemy, my nemesis?

Close encounters of the dark kind
I thrust into the night
Combining praxis and entropy
The realms of suicide

All pain is washed away
By crack of dawn
My own sublime dismay
I must move on

Thundering war cries
Are heard across the heavens
Under a thousand, dying – stars
Farewell – Godspeed – Daylight

5. Cease To Exist

Sanctifying all your inner strives
Commencing the work of sheer obliteration of a fragile mind

Every small trace of empathy giving way to
Widespread hate and intolerance – you're engulfed in
Shadows that feed on rotten systems of values
Can this be victory?

Un-fucking-likely

6. Twilight Of Mankind

Go, Damnation
Mark the land with an emblem of despair
Every empty well shall be a reminder
Of their impending doom
Now cleave the lamb.

Harvesting violence,
Mankind's paved a narrow road toward this gallows end.

Now I can see
As flame devours land
Crimson like the twilight
The downfall of man

Unholy war
Hear them roar
Hell is surely empty,
All the devils are here

We'll break the chain
Hence nothing but ruins shall remain
Welcome, Darkness
You are now their only guest, forever more

We'll break the seal
Lo, here comes cruel herald mounting his white steed
Behold!
