OBSOLETE THEORY LYRICS

1. Night of Omen

[Lyrics are by Daevil Wolfblood]

Demon of the fallen
Crooning my dirge
In this dim candlelight
I've already made my choice:
I'll close my eyes under the sky
In this quiet lonely night

The desolation,
A dismal sight,
The abomination of a war to end all wars.

The hordes of nightmares awake
To bring the final storm
Will my flesh rot with no tombstone
In the land of the lost?
I can see them drawing nigh
On black wings of gloom
Won't you come here to rescue me?
Don't you at least say farewell?

Another scream from a cage in my mind
The beast in chains still refuses to yield
The nails of Ixtab are scratching my soul
Awaiting for me to take part in Her lust.

Another night is dying at the dawn
The show is over, all the lights come up
The curtain falls and the devils undress
Revealing themselves as the angels they are.

Another vague shape has just crossed the line
There is no return from the misty lands
A pale flame moving to the underworld
Nobody will know and no one will complain

Rise! Burn! Fall! Die!

Omen and Temptation
Are the prayers coming true?
From the depths of darkness
Is this the sound of doom?

Demon of the fallen
Are the prayers coming true?
From the depths of darkness
Is this the real will of doom?

Opium and absinthe
Merge my essence with divine
My pain will be the gate
And this blade will be the key.

To the Moon, to the stars
To Alecto and the Erinyes I cry
For my name has been cursed
For my fate has been drawn in the blood.

Deceived by misleading dreams
Day after day I build my own cross
The Judge found me guilty
By now I cannot avoid the blaze.

Before the dawn I'll shine...

2. The Vanished (V. 32:1)

[Lyrics are by Daevil Wolfblood]

Entrapped by claws of powerlessness
Gathering senseless pieces of my shattered mind
Neither light nor dark in this grey gap
But somehow I know our deep bond is not over yet
For I still feel your beat in me

Before your eyes I died
Although I have tried
I'm still somewhere else
As long as you cry
I'll get the strength to find the right way out.

I still bleed regretting what has been done
Believing your sign was everything I longed for
Castaway in the sea of eternal remorse
A memory resurfaces from afar
Out of focus like a dream

And now I can relive it again:
Before my eyes you laughed!

...All the pain is in vain...

When all will fall I shall be there
From ruins of time I'll rise through the flames
Dressed in shades and crows
Before your eyes I'll soar

3. Acherontia Atropos (V. 6:5)

[Lyrics are by Daevil Wolfblood]

Long ago in our last night
When gods betted lives for their fun
A sudden fire engulfed us
We didn't realize the owl had sung
It sang to warn us

All the walls and columns melted
It was not the temple but my eyes
A thunderous uproar boomed
It was not the crowd but it was just my ears.

All the fathers stayed
Like dark titans watching us
In silence all the stars turned
Not to see and not to scream.

I could not touch what in front of me I saw
And I could not see what my quivering hands touched
After the Seer spoke, something started swallowing me
And when the moth in my hand flew away, then I understood:
We would have become black sand to the wind.

I'll recall forever: everything was whirling around me
And our feet left the ground for we were just falling upward
Twisting flashing lights turned into warping faces liquefying
A storm of blazing horrors while pale vestals of agony danced

We've been the comets and still we fall
And still we wander crossing the sky

Darkness was our only hope
And it finally came taking us apart
We tested how long centuries last
In a restless sleep for our skinless flesh

"...And for so long we lived alone, roaming among this cursed legacy, it should have lasted only for a while, but thousand eternities passed instead.
Nothing remained in our memories, and nothing found a meaning within our affliction, while the most hideous havoc smouldered in the deepest of the abysses.
But here we meet again, reunite by the spark that aroused us, gazing at our eyes like mirrors towards a time that was and is no more.
And at last all the doors open, and at last we can see again...
How much time do we need before we'll go?
How much grief and how much misery?"

Will I drink again the manna of the gods from ruby chalices?
Will we dance again shrouded by incense and in precious silk?
Will we listen again to the mellow melodies of golden flutes and harps in divine halls?
You lay among the shining skies and above the worlds

I'll recall forever: everything was whirling around me
And our feet left the ground for we were just falling upward
Twisting flashing lights turned into warping faces liquefying
A storm of blazing horrors while the pale vestals sinfully danced

We have been the silence
We are the hiss that leads to insanity

Darkness is the only hope
Isn't also death nothing but a stage?
We tested how long centuries last
In a restless sleep but now we are awake anew.

4. Atë

[Lyrics are by Daevil Wolfblood]

Will I ever find peace?
Torment
The true essence in my veins.

I can feel you breathing
It consumes my brain
I can see you moving
Like poisonous wasps on a dying rat.

Everything is rotting
Like my worn out soul
Disgrace is feeding
All its beloved sons

Everything is falling
Collapsing on itself
My screams are in vain
In this grim and forsaken lands

"Awake!
The horns are already blowing!
Arise!
From the ashes of the vanquished!
Move on!
Leave no place free from your grip!
Germinate!
Like flowers of death!"

After being saved by the fierce Wolf
After it watched over me
Now it blames me, the Wolf blames me
For I tried to find a light.
After I walked among the dead
After I've been part of the dark
I'm alive
I only needed something to fight for.

Spellbound by the sweet kiss of Atë
Losing my mind many times
I was the king, now I'm a slave
Of a world I can't control.
After the glory lost its mask
After the truth I can see
From the peak of failure
No more I need a reason to die for

Betrayer of my saviour
I had to run away from it
And it doesn't matter I repented:
My home is burnt, my name is banned.

I've been lost wandering for so long
No other ways to go but this uphill path
And I can't go back:
I mislaid the thread, the yūrei come!

From down there
Grace calls me to the edge
And I close my eyes...

From down there
Grace calls me to the edge
And I may fly to the end...

"I never gave up
I never left you alone
Into your silence I dug our grave
And now you can come back in my arms
Come back in my arms
I never stopped waiting for you
...just one last step forward..."

5. Onirica (O.T. 29:11)

[Lyrics are by Daevil Wolfblood]

Is this what we died for?
A swarming mass of slimy worms
Slowly corroding to decay the soil they crawl on
Is this the beginning? Is this the end?
Is just this the circle we have been entrapped in?

I will escape this punishment
I will destroy the cage and the oppressor
For I will know no clemency
Your loot will be crushed into dust.
Whose the cut head in my hand is?

Can you feel me?
Can you find me?
Shall not! Cannot!

Lifeless in the dark mud
We open our eyes
Awakening and rising up
Suspended in the fog
Ghostly from the darkness
The Priestess lends her hand
And brings us to worlds
I'd never seen before

Sweetly she kisses my lips
Then whispers in my ear
How many days were stolen
From our path to go:

"Every moment we live
Is a step toward death
And every breath
A grain of sand slipping away"

We'll come back
On wings of revenge
I will see your face again
When the prey will scream from the flames

Here I sit
On my throne of wrath
The traitor can't be purged of his sins
But with his own blood

"And when the sun turns black,
And when the rivers turn red,
The ground will crumble all at once
And the beasts will emerge.

The ones with the mark will ascend
And be saved by the Word,
Then all the others will know
The grim face of the Hanged One"

We'll come back
On wings of revenge
I will see your face again
When the prey will scream from the flames

Here I sit
On my throne of wrath
The traitor can't be purged of his sins
But with his own guilty blood

Let the snakes creep
Let the wolves feed
Let the scorpion be crowned by the night
Let the snakes creep
Let the wolves feed
Let our advent blacken the light

6. The Seal (S. 20:1)

[Lyrics are by Daevil Wolfblood]

The night will come
The voice will call your names
One by one.

Enter Lekhiem doors
Drink from our blood
Leave pain behind
And walk with us

Forsake this world in the miasma of decay

Enter Lekhiem doors
Drink from our blood
And the shades of Hel
Won't seize you

"The Seal is old and weak
The Blind has gone
In silence the promise
Will be honoured"

You have been the chosen ones
For you obey the Word
Red fields and sweet fumes for us
Where the six moons align.
Dancing colours in the sky
And fresh waters full of life
Can't you hear the joyful chants?
Can't you hear the sounds of meed?

The night will come
Enter Lekhiem doors
Drink from our blood
Leave death behind
We'll be gods

"The Seal is old and weak
The Blind has gone
In cries our vengeance
Will be fulfilled"

Take my hand
No fear as we'll step into the dark
I never cheat, I never lied:
You won't be left behind

Close your eyes and pray
For the light is close to come
You never stray and you won't get lost
I'll lead you to the end
The night is coming
To devour these land

Rising Morning Star
A new kingdom comes
Holy Hand
Glorious Father
Holy path
Glorious Word
Rising Morning Star
A new kingdom comes
