1. When The Moment Of Death Arrives
Wasted years left behind
as an old man nears to death
Praying his lord to forgive him
for the sins he never committed
The fear of dying
- the fear of the fires of hell
The fear of living
- the fear of endless tribulation
The scars of life
- the scars from a faceless world
The wings of Death
- unfold me and ease my pain
Death... comes as a relief...
...from the mortal suffering...
...young again...
...travelling into the ageless time
Memories of his past life
vividly in his mind
Feeling himself alive again
when the Moment of Death arrives!
"flee in the darkness of death
where exists no pain no fear;
a relief from the earthly... suffering...
...WHEN THE MOMENT
OF DEATH ARRIVES..."
2. Rot To Dead
Dark eyes meet in a black corner of the earth
Hate burns scars within our minds
False shall be separated from the true
The moment of departure follows time
Nocturnal wrath unfolds us...
Melancholic silence surrounds...
Walls are breeding malignant seeds...
The spawn of hate shall be unleashed
Rot to Dead!!!
Face to face - brother against brother
The bitter taste of loss of own ideals
Atmosphere of evil, selfish minds
in a battle which no-one will prevail
Paradoxal tranquillity...
Leads the Fiend out of our minds...
Raging wrath - now weeping sorrow...
But Hate remains in our hearts...
3. Disengagement
Darkness fills the life
Covers the tired mind
like the darkest damnation
anxiety, oppression
a wounded soul
manages to escape
from exhausted body,
from the bleeding prison
disengagement, dark visions,
forgotten personality
feeling of loss
nocturnal suffocation
tears like blood
stench of decayed
alone...
without a body
life...
is turned to hell
living in emptiness
torture of the timeless
into the black pieces
of total chaos and sorrow
No blessing
no chances to survive
leads the way
to infernal death
disengagement, dark visions
forgotten personalities
4. Rotting Ways To Misery
Into the life after death
where all is said and done
where sanity is forgotten
where humanity is gone
Into the abyss I fall
Arising Evil is all I see
I hear a blasphemic call
the Touch of Death is all I feel
Rotting Ways to Misery
the earth is burning under my feet
"Sacrifice your soul for me
Against our common enemy... god"
Behind the depths of dying
He is whipping my skin
This is the End... of liberty
I am in the fires of evilness
Hell's gates were open for me
they were my destiny
anyone can be chosen
to be His slave
Rotting Ways to Misery
are the chosen one's infernal destiny
5. The Truth
At the primitive times
when the earth was born
Generations came and went
lived in ignorance
Somewhere in the Darkness of Time
lies open the ultimate fate of life
0132 ("Mullan rakoseen vaivun")
No one can show us the right way
is this enigmatic destiny
This way is going where we are coming from
The Time has come...
6. Suffocated Beginning Of Life
7. Beyond The Distant Valleys
Your senseless theories
are rising once again
Causing pain within my mind
- I'm losing the control
But in the kingdom to come
Behind the seven seas...
Beyond the distant valleys...
It's me who decides!!!
Your flaming thoughts...
...are tearing my soul apart!
I'm harvesting...
...the sow of your curse again!
You've destined me to suffer...
...as you were the master!
You've taken my inner self...
Confusion will rule till I die!!!
8. Under The Suffer
First came the wind, dark clouds and the storm
Then came the snow which covered the ground white
We saw them descending from clouds
from the Bloodred Sky
We just stood there and watched
as they came, saw and conquered
This beautiful sight
made us blind
with joy we welcomed the intruder
as immigrants for their dominion
like an epidemic Virus
that spread over our homes
It came like a cold wind
and took away everything
In the ruins we stood
with the living ones
We saw them raping our women
and killing our children
9. Descending Curtain Of Death
Death - Awaking from a dream
what we also call life
Life is not real - only Death is
When the Curtain has descended
The Nightmare is OVER!
10. Wings
The shadow of wind
flees to pain to reality
The breath of night
now disappears to distance
On the margin of emptiness...
...streams pour through an altar!
The stars blasted into darkness...
...changing scents, colours!
The sleepless face...
sterilized by drops of pain...
Skies, mirrors, screams...
shapes foundering into the scene
Beyond my eyes
Beyond my words
Echoes of empty promises
The touch of conclusion
Eager to see...
Eager to show those who see!
No-one answers, no-one is
Leave me here!
11. In Memoriam
In the dark... in death
Eyes can't see... I cannot feel
No voices... no light... no existence
A dreamlike void surrounds me
silence... emptiness... peace of mind... in death
In emptiness...
I focus my thoughts on my life
In death I have the time to think of the past
Solitude...
won't break my peace of mind
Because here I must dwell eternally
In memoriam...
For the one that once was me
Entombed remains
A gravestone marks I've passed away...
(Sacred... to the memory of myself)
12. Mythic Silence (As They Wander In The Mist)
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Oulu, 1st of October, 1995
So here it is. The shadow from our past. Namely
our debut album "Shadows Of The Past", for the first
time available for the worldwide distribution.
This album is far from the musical path we are
venturing at the present, but it is in deed a fair
document from the twilight of SENTENCED.
As a special addition for the request of many fans we
have included the "Journey To Pohjola" demo from '92.
Everything is re-packaged and re-mastered.
This is Death Metal! I hope you can sense its true
spirit right here, right now... Let us gather our hearts in
the dark and cold...
On behalf of SENTENCED,
