NIGHTRAGE LYRICS

1. The Venomous

Our destiny to stand apart
Firmly written in stone from the start
A demonic wish we could never resist
Deeply rooted inside of our hearts
Black angel wings and a vipers tail
Still a smile that we could not resist
A deeper sense of sanity
Since the first day ceased to exist

We are the only cure
To the poison we spit
Time to wipe away
All that we became

Breed the Venomous
We thrive, under the spell of Marchosias
Our goddess of conflict and war

Our journey on the face of this earth
Has now forever left its mark
An endless search for more
Drove us straight into the dark

We are the only cure
To the poison we spit
Time to wipe away
All that we became

Breed the Venomous
We thrive, under the spell of Marchosias
Our goddess of conflict and war

All hail the Venomous
We dance to the beat of the glorious
Hear our gospel of conflict and war

2. Metamorphosis / Day Of Wrath

The screams of the undead
Is cutting through the air
As light abandons us
We can touch the fear
The path we left behind
We will never walk again
As we embrace the darkness
We know that this is the end

This is the end
On this day of wrath

We walk into the darkness
Leaving no regrets
Our souls are lingering
As we are possessed
A soulless carnal vessel
With powers from beyond
Human emotions forever
Free from its rotting bond

A surge of power that you never felt before
A hunger for the dark that you can't ignore

Dies irae
Dies illa
This is the day of wrath
Dies irae
Dies illa
Leave all your hope behind

A destiny
To wreck the walls of life
In tyranny
We've been held back for far too long

This is the end
On this day of wrath

A soulless carnal vessel
With powers from beyond
Human emotions forever
Free from its rotting bond
The path we left behind
We will never walk again
As we embrace the darkness
We know that this is the end

A destiny
To wreck the walls of life
In tyranny
We've been held back for far too long

Dies irae
Dies illa
This is the day of wrath
Dies irae
Dies illa
Leave all your hope behind

Dies irae
This is the day of wrath
Dies irae
Dies illa
Leave all your hope behind

3. In Abhorrence

The true intentions of all
Acts ever performed
All essence of our being
In its purest form
Since the cradle of existence
We rose above the sun
Scorching the earth we walk
In the name of "the one"

A falling sky
Can't hold the weight we apply
The end of the line
In abhorrence
We're waiting to die

The source of all malicious
Acts born out of the abnorm
A scent of foul decay
That follows through the storm
At the brink of our extinction
We flourish at our best
We reek of decomposition
As we're laid to rest

A falling sky
Can't hold the weight we apply
The end of the line
In abhorrence
We're waiting to die

The true intentions of all
Acts ever performed
All essence of our being
In its purest form
The source of all malicious
Acts born out of the abnorm
A scent of foul decay
That follows through the storm

A falling sky
Can't hold the weight we apply
The end of the line
In abhorrence
We're waiting to die

4. Affliction

As our lives are forged in battle
We're in search for an answer
All innocence since long we lost
Now! As we're dragged along the undertow

Reflections
Of all our past mistakes
Domination
The glory of our prime

Can't you see my empty shell forlorn?
Reflecting an empty past
Blackening inside of my Affliction
As we sow now we shall reap

On our path we march as cattle
In search for a meaning
Our destination in clouds concealed
Still claiming to be in control

Reflections
Of all our past mistakes
Domination
The glory of our prime

Can't you see my empty shell forlorn?
Reflecting an empty past
Blackening inside of my Affliction
As we sow now we shall reap

Can't you see my empty shell forlorn?
Blackening inside of my Affliction

5. Catharsis

Too many words unspoken
So many thoughts untouched
Fed up with being broken
Can't stand another lie
All the goals that I set for myself
All the ones that I shot to the ground
All the things that I wanted to feel
All the feelings I feared to be real

Feel the cleansing rain
A soul so scarred, trying to rid the pain
Wash away the stain
This purgatory of my heart

Another promise broken
Another fish unhooked
Words out of fury spoken
Wishing for someone to die
All the words that I kept as the truth
All these lies that been keeping me be back
All the things that we thought to be real
All too real to be able to feel

As a cleansing flood would wash away all shame
Black acid rainfall will do the same
A catharsis to clean these wounds
Black acid rainfall to end it all

A constant mind intrusion
None of your thoughts untouched
One million grand illusions
Another million to come
All the things you were set to believe
All the words that you took as the truth
All the things that you wanted to feel
All the feelings you feared for far too long

Feel the cleansing rain
A soul so scarred, trying to rid the pain
Wash away the stain
This purgatory of my heart

As a cleansing flood would wash away all shame
Black acid rainfall will do the same
A catharsis to clean these wounds
Black acid rainfall to end it all

Since the ancient days
This plague has ruled the earth
Unchallenged domination
A cancer to this world
Now in purgatory
The cleansing will commence
This catharsis
To end it all

Black acid rainfall to end it all

As a cleansing flood would wash away all shame
Black acid rainfall will do the same
A catharsis to clean these wounds
Black acid rainfall to end it all

6. Bemoan

We should have always known
Our biggest enemy is within ourselves
As a shadow
Waiting to strike

A lesson that we'll never learn
As we're dancing on our graves
A new tomorrow
Will never come

The weight of the world on our shoulders
A weight that we can't hold
In the end
The blood of our kind is on our hands
The fate of the world as we know it
A fate we can't ignore
In the end
The blood of our kind is on our hands

On every side, on every frontline
The enemy is holding their forts
At both sides of our fences
We're coming short

A strength that we could never carry
A gift but also a load
To a mind all too ready
To explode

The weight of the world on our shoulders
A weight that we can't hold
In the end
The blood of our kind is on our hands
The fate of the world as we know it
A fate we can't ignore
In the end
The blood of our kind is on our hands

There will be no angels to bemoan our fate
There will be no heaven's door
There will be no one left to bemoan what we became
At the end of our line

The weight of the world on our shoulders
A weight that we can't hold
In the end
The blood of our kind is on our hands
The fate of the world as we know it
A fate we can't ignore
In the end
The blood of our kind is on our hands

7. The Blood

This hunger that lures inside
It can never be ignored
Unfailing bloodlust
We blame our acts on gods
As we wash our hands
Far south of our heavens

The blood
That colors our path
Will never ever be enough
The blood
That runs through our veins
Will drive us in the search for more

A thirst that within us resides
Will lead us towards our downfall
This hunger for flesh cannot be stopped
A ghost that feeds upon our own extinction

It taints our lives
Destined forever
To thirst for blood
A heritage we can't ignore

The blood
That colors our path
Will never ever be enough
The blood
That runs through our veins
Will drive us in the search for more

The blood
That colors our path
Will never ever be enough

It runs through our veins
Never to be enough

It taints our lives
Destined forever
To thirst for blood
A heritage we can't ignore

The blood
That colors our path
Will never be enough
The blood
That runs through our veins
Will drive us in the search for more

The blood (the blood)
It taints our lives

The blood (the blood)
A heritage we can't ignore

8. From Ashes Into Stone

My broken bones
They heal to grow stronger
From ashes I rise to remain
All those tears, I shed them no longer
A heart forged in stone
Oblivious to pain

Rise up from the ground
Use the anger
Mark the spot with the stains of my blood
All these years
I don't need them no longer
All I want is cold vengeance on your god

From ashes into stone
This is what I learned
Vengeance to the bone
It is what you earned

My broken bones
They heal to grow stronger
From ashes I rise to remain
All those tears, I shed them no longer
A heart forged in stone
Oblivious to pain

As my essence from the ashes arise
Rise!
Slowly
I'm turning to stone

Rise up from the ground
Use the anger
Mark the spot with the stains of my blood
All these years
I don't need them no longer
All I want is cold vengeance on your god

From ashes into stone
This is what I learned
Vengeance to the bone
It is what you earned

As my essence from the ashes arise
Rise!
Slowly
I'm turning stone

From ashes into stone
This is what I learned
Vengeance to the bone
It is what you earned

9. Trail Of Ghosts

As our world is trembling
We're destined to self-destruct
As the structures of life
Rupture and collapse
Nothing more than rubble at our feet
As our souls on this last day collide
No one left to remember
Our trail so vile

Disdain the lies
Eliminate these feeble ways
A trail of ghosts from the past
Left as dead leaves to decay

We're destined to burn
As we are embracing oblivion
We march towards our end
As we are embracing oblivion

Now our castles are burning
And the last tear is shed
As the fruits of our life
Has fallen to the ground
Just lying there
Rotting on our streets

Disdain the lies
Eliminate these feeble ways
A trail of ghosts from the past
Left as dead leaves to decay

We're destined to burn
As we are embracing oblivion
We march towards our end
As we are embracing oblivion

As the fruits of our life
Has fallen to the ground
Just lying there
Rotting on our streets
As our souls
On this last day collide
No one left to remember
Our trail so vile

Disdain the lies
Eliminate these feeble ways
A trail of ghosts from the past
Left as dead leaves to decay

10. Disturbia

You live in denial
Decieved by your fears
You've perfected the lie
Just to hide the tears
You sacrifice pleasure
To run from the pain
You think it's weak to cry
So you hide in the rain

The serpents of lies
Will rise as our senses collide

These lies you treasure
You nurse them in vain
It's your last mistake
You have nothing to gain

The serpents of lies
Will rise as our senses collide

Dystopia!
Where are we now?
Since birth
We all have been led astray
Disturbia!
Our end has been foreseen
The dawn of tomorrow
The start of our decay

You live in denial
Decieved by your fears
You've perfected the lie
Just to hide the tears
These lies you treasure
You nurse them in vain
It's your last mistake
You have nothing to gain

The serpents of lies
Will rise as our senses collide

Dystopia!
Where are we now?
Since birth
We all have been led astray
Disturbia!
Our end has been foreseen
The dawn of tomorrow
The start of our decay

These lies you treasure
You nurse them in vain
It's your last mistake
You have nothing to gain

The serpents of lies
Will rise as our senses collide
At the end of this ride
We're checking out
Leaving all our pride

Dystopia!
Where are we now?
Since birth
We all have been led astray
Disturbia!
Our end has been foreseen
The dawn of tomorrow
The start of our decay

11. Desolation And Dismay

Along these roads
That we have paved with misery
Degradation of our human soul
A pestilence of our mind
Illustrious pleasures
While being at the end of our rope
Searching for a glimpse of glory
To the cost of all our hope

Preaching the lie
Till the end of the line
Fend for your dreams
Without them you wither and die

Dehumanize all what you fear
Just trying to survive
Destroy what all the others built
Conform to another lie

Preaching the lie
Till the end of the line
Fend for your dreams
Without them you wither and die

Endless purging in fossil dreams
Just wanting to get away
The only way of being free
In desolation and dismay
Defend your dreams
Keep all others at bay
The only way of being free
In desolation and dismay

Preaching the lie
Till the end of the line
Fend for your dreams
Without them you wither and die

Try to wash the guilt away
By shifting all the blame
Worn out and torn empty phrases
Won't hide the shame

Endless purging in fossil dreams
Just wanting to get away
The only way of being free
In desolation and dismay
Defend your dreams
Keep all others at bay
The only way of being free
In desolation and dismay

Defend your dreams
Keep all others at bay
In desolation and dismay

12. Denial Of The Soul

[Instrumental]
