NOUMENA LYRICS

1. Handful Of Dust

I wished for a simple faith,
You gave me devotion
I took you to the edge of world
You only ask for more as we
Soaked in the autumn rain
Froze in the lap of snow
Suffered through the April's cruelty
Blinded by the fury of the sun

We roam where the day's eternal and sun nocturnal
We roam where the sun is swallowed and day devoured

Darklings craving,
Horns up hailing
We soar together
As burning feathers

Darklings craving,
Horns up hailing
We soar together
As burning feathers tonight

We stumble down gloomy paths
Empty gaze of the abyss
Piling up darksome burden
But there's no regret, no remorse

We settle for nothing short of greatness of die trying
The candle burns at both ends not minding it all hurts

When days ahead become ashes of the past
Burning desire defies my memories

I shall offer you a handful of dust
We remember both the diamonds and rust

I shall offer you a handful of dust
We remember both the diamonds and rust

We roam

We roam where the day's eternal and sun nocturnal
We roam where the sun is swallowed and day devoured

Darklings craving,
Horns up hailing
We soar together
As burning feathers

Darklings craving,
Horns up hailing
Bound together
We roar forever

2. Play Dead

Dreadful gaze on a white, corroded face
Eyes are grim and the soul is foul within
Without doubt, you can see that she's about
To spill the blood a little more and

[Chorus:]
Play dead
Play dead
Play dead in the region of the underworld
In the forgotten realm of the netherwold
Play dead

Without fear and lust, praise pure disgust
One more day to bring on disarray
Maintain the chaos in life, it is the time
To spill the blood a little more and

[Chorus]

Spill the blood on the ground
To be free from these torments
Purify your mind
Set it free from these torments

Spill the blood on the ground
Play dead just a little longer
Spill the blood on the ground
Spill the blood a little more and

[Chorus]

3. Sleep

Whatever place called home
Is a dwelling of those
Since the dawning of the ages

Burned in one soul, the wisdom untold
Of the concept of reality
That slowly fades away into dark

[Chorus:]
Within the elements of sleep
A veil beneath the waters deep
Within the dreamless sleep awaits
Twilight of the everflowing rain

In lifeblood will fall, so weary of it all
The one without the azure skies

Sensation and the awe
Of silence, nothing more
The sound of night, a lullaby
That slowly fades away into dark

[Chorus]

Sleep, sleep, sleep in silence
Underneath the sky
Free from sin and broken will
A timeless lullaby

In dream you tell me
Always let your fate to make you fall
Into the heart of mankind
Where there is no pain at all

Sleep, sleep, sleep in silence
Underneath the sky
Sleep, sleep, sleep in silence
A timeless lullaby

4. Death Walks With Me

The night falls and buries the dreams
Age anew didn't wane
Howling wind from the distance
Veils death underneath
Sea of lies burned to skin and truth written in sand

Scream for me, humanity, nothing you know
Dead and buried, nothing you learn

Walk away and nothing you'll win
Light the torch and you'll burn
Joys are woven from sorrows
As your days grow short
Goodbye autumn breeze
Death walks with me

[Chorus:]
In this chapter of hate
The howling wind forges the man anew
They imitate life
They die as the autumn begins to fall

In this chapter of hate
The night enshrines the dreams
We're walking now hand in hand
We storm to the stars and create the burning scars

[Guitar solo: Lamminaho]

Everything ends, mankind's last breath
Never again, again and again, nothing we learn
Hope was lost, mankind wiped away
Never again, again and again, nothing we learn

[Chorus]

5. Let It Run Red

Welcome stranger it's time turn back
Walls are cold they weep they see
Veiled in black it hides its lies
And the truth they feed to you

Bringer of night
Crusher of might

[Chorus:]
If we meet let it run red
It's the feast for the nameless ones
At the last dawn you hear me roar
The crows will eat us all

And every night when this comes in mind
Was there something that was left unsaid
I'll remember then bent but not broken
There is time to live and to let all go

Burned my truths and I have burned my lies
Through lost paradise
Endless ways of this endless game
Hiding in shadows
The crows will eat us all

[Guitar solo: Tuomela]

Through the night that is left behind
Here a blind will lead a blind
Farewell, goodbye it's time
Winds are strong they carry you home

Bringer of night
Crusher of might

[Chorus]

6. The Storms

Morning dew reflects the light through windowpane
In a while the time goes on and all will decay
First rays of sun they speak of agony and gloom
A thought of serenity before impending doom

[Chorus:]
Gathering forces, marching onwards to the eye of the storm
The signs are beckoning towards the moment of reckoning
In the eye of the storm that is gathering in horizon

Roaring sound of thunder wakes us from our silent sleep
Rotten harvest of destruction solemnly we reap
Earth will burst and tear apart and buildings will burn
Everything that's left behind, will we forever yearn?

[Chorus]

Marching on to the eye of the storm
The storm that wakes us from the sleep

[Guitar solo: Tuomela]

Now that life has ceased, what is the point of being sad?
Soon enough we'll forget everything we had
In moment of uncertainty there's one thing we know
The constructs will decay and seeds of life will grow

[Chorus]

Marching on to the eye of the storm
The storm that wakes us from the sleep

7. Mysteries Of Motion

Oh, the travesty of life
Perpetual carnal flame rendered motionless
Unleash the fateful might
The essence that holds the stars in place

[Chorus:]
With grace, I’ll enter your realm
Send trembles from afar
Unravel mysteries
With magic in your eyes
Traversing mysteries of motion unveiled

Oh, the dance of the flames
Struggling on the verge of consciousness
Aura of burning flesh
The innocence so pleasantly defiled

[Chorus]

Unravel mysteries
With magic in your eyes

[Mandolin solo: Lamminaho]
[Guitar solo: Tuomela]

Oh, how jaded I am
Oh, how torn is flesh, so motionless
Again and again
I will defy fate, ignite the flame

[Chorus]

8. Nothing

The period of time before the moment we share
Wasted in avoidance of inescapable loss
The barriers of perception cause an obscene conception
A tragedy is born, inside a doleful mind a beast

[Chorus:]
Nothing feels like before
Years are changing like hours
Passing by like a brief rain shower

In the moment we share
Obedience we swear

Tortured mortals full of spirit and virtue
Seek the premise to achieve another kind of life
For salvation of mankind deliver slaughter of a star
Carnage of a moon, ignition of a cross

[Chorus]

Help me to create
Another kind of world
Where everyone I see is free
From the burden of deceased

[Guitar solo: Lamminaho]

[Chorus]

9. Only The Silent

They turn the clock back, they seize the time
In the year zero no room for the sublime
Dusk rests upon us, the years of red twilight
Force us to submit and wither deep down inside

[Pre-chorus:]
For an anthem I sing, for a word I speak
I'll be rewarded in the dark corridor
For a line I write, for a thought I think
I'll be rewarded with a bullet through my neck

I must forget my name, leave past behind
I’m crawling at their feet in this genocide
Death is the only rule, with pain they feed
I’m torn up by the roots like a poisoned weed

[Chorus:]
Hammering hand over the land grinds us to dust
Cuts every life short
Whispering chant over the land echoes and fades
Here only the silent survive

Pain, starvation, sick creation
Piles of skulls and bones
I see it all

They turn the clock back, they seize the time
In the year zero no room for the sublime
Dusk rests upon us, the years of red twilight
Force us to submit and wither deep down inside

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

10. Season Of Suffocation

I burn dead leaves
Red, rustling piles
I taste fear, inhale the fumes
As end is drawing near

Horror in her eyes, lungs paralyzed
Stains of Prussian blue cover the chamber walls

[Chorus:]
We hover together, we mingle forever
Towards solution
We hover together, one combined with other
Through the darkened flue, reaching the night sky

Offer her a ride, solemn and dignified
Head for the relief, final journey on wooden cart

[Chorus]

Autumn drowns my heart, veils the firmament
Brings the end of the future
Season dims the light, leaves the icy glow
To awaken the slumbering

[French horn solo: Juuso Wallin]

Horror in her eyes, lungs paralyzed
Stains of Prussian blue cover the chamber walls

[Chorus:]
Feeding consuming flames
We hover together, we mingle forever
Towards solution
Feeding consuming flames
We hover together, one combined with other
Through the darkened flue
Reaching the night sky

11. Sundown

The past fortnight has been pointless struggling
To take this life of suffering a step closer to it's end

The last sundown, when the pain lies on the ground
It's the life I never found in the madness of day

[Chorus:]
Pain capture my heart
Because the dreams they talked about
Are the things I never found
In this tragedy called life

A forgotten sunrise
When the pain still lies inside
When the future tears my mind
All memories are lost

The conclusion, this road leads nowhere
And no one will ever care if I'll be here or gone

[Chorus]

This world is made of suffering
Five times more, still I never win
This is my life
And I'm not good at it

In turns they play this violin
This is madness that will never end
This is my life
And I'm not good at it

And the carvings on this naked skin
Are marks of tragedies within
This is my life
And I'm not good at it

When the hope and dreams will never end
It's the hardest thing to comprehend
That this is my life
And I'm not good at it
