OBSCURA LYRICS

1. Humankind

Humankind lined up, before abysses of fire
Murder drums rolling, dark warriors brows
Paces through mist of blood
Black iron clanging
Despair, night in sorrowful brains

Under the branches of olive trees
At night they scream in their sleep
Into the festering mark of the wound
The hand of Saint Thomas plunges deep

Behold the shadows eve, hunt and blood money
A tempest, the light is cracked, the last supper
In bread and wine lies a gentle silence
And the once have gathered, twelve in number

2. Nothing

Dead, you are dead, you don't know that
The spirit has gone, the only divinity
Trapped in a cage that you thought is your life
A coffin remains as your only abode

How many hours
How many nights
How many curses
Nothing is more than nothing at all

Look at what is left
In the crimson debris
Look at the faces
Morosely reflecting the empty shell

No sanctity
No epitaph
No choir of angels
Is waiting for you on the other side

Nothing
You are, you were, you will be
Nothing at all

How many hours
How many nights
How many curses
Nothing is more than nothing at all

Look at what is left
In the crimson debris
Look at the faces
Morosely reflecting the empty shell

Your name is an insult
Your efforts a joke
Your last breath will vanish
And with it, the last remnant of nothing at all

Nothing
You are, you were, you will be
Nothing at all

How many hours
How many nights
How many curses
Nothing is more than nothing at all

No sanctity
No epitaph
No choir of angels
Is waiting for you on the other side

Nothing
You are, you were, you will be
Nothing at all

3. Unhinged

Pain has awakened in the bowels of the deep
Restless friends of torment, from the pit they start to rise
Tossing twisting nightmares lock the dreamers in their sleep
And cheer the icy claw of madness smothering the lies of

Peace and rest in oblivion
Too long we were blind
Unhinged, the world
Kissed to death by the glory of god
Our senses sedated
Unhinged, the world

When the bells are ringing
To end all things
Will wake up and know
What the present may bring

When complacence has rusted
Through the core of our souls
Will we gather our wits and
See through the holes

Helpless human idiot clamor spreads across the stone
Lifeless deathless ignorance, immortal in our cells
Chanting anthems of confusion, the united are alone
Pathetic clueless primates stranded in the hells of

Peace and rest in oblivion
Too long we were blind
Unhinged, the world
Kissed to death by the glory of god
Our senses sedated
Unhinged, the world

Pain has awakened in the bowels of the deep
Restless friends of torment, from the pit they start to rise
Tossing twisting nightmares lock the dreamers in their sleep
And cheer the icy claw of madness smothering the lies of

Peace and rest in oblivion
Too long we were blind
Unhinged, the world
Kissed to death by the glory of god
Our senses sedated
Unhinged, the world

4. None Shall Be Spared

Dawn of the face of the crown of creation
Crawls over mountains that have given up protecting
The shame of the world, the truth of the skies

Bathing in rotten light, the denizens emerge
Devouring with hungry skins the cancer of the gods
With flesh in their claws and with greed in their eyes

Voiceless demons, invisible
Surrounding the damned between the worlds
Enjoying the ripping and tearing of souls
None shall be spared

Have the priests ever mentioned to the fearful believers
You don't have to be dead to be led through the gate
The minions of hell are always around you
In perpetual horror, forever you'll wait
For salvation

Scouring the earth, licenced to drain
The hope from the hearts of their clueless victims
Stumbling in darkness, killing each other

Too wretched to scavenge the fiends are rejoicing
Infesting the accursed with unchartered plaques
Dragging them home, in the swamps they'll be smothered

Voiceless demons, invisible
Surrounding the damned between the worlds
Enjoying the ripping and tearing of souls
None shall be spared

5. Alone

Solitude spread it's wings
Awakening forgotten fiends
Listen to the thunder scream
Fear and silence
Strangling shadows in my dreams

Lend me the warmth of your skin
Send me the light of your eyes
Grant me the shelter of your heart
Why can't you hear my silent shriek?

Neverwhere embraces me
Shades of grey is all I see
Listen to the ravens screech
Fear and praying
Choking wind take away my speech

Lend me the warmth of your skin
Send me the light of your eyes
Grant me the shelter of your heart
Why can't you hear my silent shriek?

Can't you see I'm fading
Why can't you hear my frozen call?

6. Hymn To A Nocturnal Visitor

The dark has revealed and enigma to me
A call through the void of powers that be
A thin thread of light in the night of our souls
Expanse through the shadows, awakens, breaks free

A memory haunts me, embraces me slowly
Takes hold of my mind and swallows me wholly
A presence divine sends a chill through my spine
As my flesh starts to burn with desires unholy

A jewel is gleaming through oceans of lies
A splinter of heaven in earthly disguise
Defying the rules of the theatre of fools
To sing me of truth with her fanthomless eyes

Our skins come together with electrical hiss
Our worlds are engulfed in an all-melting kiss
It is the life-force that draws us with ever-smooth claws
Hopelessly entwined, into a vortex of bliss

With swaying limbs twitching and writhing in spasms
We echo the call that rings through the chasm
As god becomes beast dances devil with priest
And angels descend to our pounding orgasm

Consuming our bodies our spirits will rise
In motionless rapture we reach for the skies
Recalling our powers to reclaim what is ours
Led by the sparkling of stars in her eyes

7. Intoxicated

Intoxicated by the human filth
Constipated my lungs, the cancer grows
Contempt; scorn! Despise!
Furious raging in anger, the fucking head explodes

War!
Hate anthem!
War against all!
Hate anthem!
Destroy 'em all!

Ingrowing hate has scorched my thoughts
Humankind, you are terminal case
Destruction; ruin! Dash! Wreck!
Destroy this fucking world!

Intoxicated

War!
Hate anthem!
War against all!
Hate anthem!
Destroy 'em all!

Contaminated my heart, my mind my soul
Sealed my veins by distaste
But soon all the anger of this world
Waits to be unleashed by my fist!

Humankind - you are terminal case!

8. Exit Life

Black light, flash before my eyes, my dreams are fading
Life of decay, odious visions of the past
I feel a storm crawling through my skin

Death, your shades are waiting

Exit life, enter night

Life has vanished before my eyes
I can fell the end of all days
Time is dying, stops to dwell
Black light, exit life

Blurred my view, blackened my sight
Night is my father, daylight has died
A sun, that has set forever engulfs my burning soul

Gloom and mist have swallowed my mind
Death be my host, I await your salvation

Exit life, enter night

Black light, flash before my eyes, my dreams are fading
Night is my father, daylight has died
A sun, that has set forever engulfs my burning soul

Gloom and mist have swallowed my mind
Death be my host, I await your salvation
Exit life, enter night

9. Sentiment

Your eyes are hiding deep inside
Your touch is on my tongue
Read clearly between the lines
Are they just theories of time?

Suffering in faith

Do you feel the pain that I feel?
The pain that lives inside
Once I was free, but now I am restricted
Once I was restricted but now I am free

Close my eyes

Let the voice of the soul be free
Await discovery

Laugh at my words you fool
See that reflection is my living proof
Read clearly between the lines
Are they just hallowed intentions?

Suffering in faith

Faith, my inner world of empty words
Pain, I won't live this way
Once I was free, but now I am restricted
Once I was restricted but now I am free

Close my eyes

With every breath I hear the silent
Whispering of your name

Let the voice of the soul be free
Await discovery

Laugh at my words you fool
See that reflection is my living proof
Read clearly between the lines
Are they just theories of time?

Close my eyes, and feel

10. Sweet Silence

11. Lack Of Comprehension

A condemning fear strikes down
Things they cannot understand
An excuse to cover up weaknesses that lie within
Lies
Laying your guilt and pain
On people that had no part in the molding of a life
That creates its destruction
Lies
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment

[Solo: Schuldiner]

Reaching into the minds of those that created
The depression in which they
In which they drowned their flesh and blood
Lies
So easy to blame the
Everlasting fear on a pathetic attempt
To justify the ending of life
Lies
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment
