VERDELET LYRICS

1. Bring Out Your Dead

Bring out your dead.

Primordial curse, earth born slave,
Unrivalled passage to the grave,
A hideous plight from a touch so slight,
Runs amok the day.

Cauterize the living flesh,
Blackened house of blood.
Painted symbols above the doorway,
Cast out the flood.

Bring out your dead

Weary betrothed, no escape.
It will turn to face each move you make.
On the journey into the dismal light,
Treacherous creature freed of life.

Consuming flesh by slow decay,
Creeping death abroad this day,
Hear the burning witness wail,
If blood runs, the breath will fail.

Waiting among the dead for death to come,
Abandoned child, forgotten son.
To conquer and conquering,
Upon a pale horse,
Merciless pestilence roars.

Piling high the mortal rain,
Into the pit of bodies slain.
Marked for death by knowing eyes,
By rootless phantom, stripped of life.

Hear the burning witness wail,
If blood runs, the breath will fail.

Delirium, climbing the walls,
Morbid paradise of pain.
Fallen by the wayside,
With nothing left to regain

Funereal,
Wretched gloom so dismal.
Suffering,
Becomes the life of all.

Weary betrothed, no escape.
It will turn to face each move you make.
On the journey into the dismal light,
Treacherous creature freed of life.

Bring out your dead

2. Terminal Decay

It never rests,
This is the lifeline,
With no reward,
And no repose.

It never stops,
Eyes, trained upon the future.
There are no guides,
Just tall tales of absolution.

On the brink of desolation,
Tormentor from the murky hues,
Behind, the shadow of ruin.

I can see everything.
I can feel... everything.

The severance, the thrill.
Reborn... at will.

In the churning throes of death,
Beneath the crashing waves,
Taller than the rest,
Drowned, reborn abomination.

I can see everything.
I can feel... everything.

The severance, the thrill.
Reborn... at will.

Vision beyond the wounded sky,
Last words you'll speak before you die.
The future, the past, too blind to see,
Shackled and bound, by your reality.

It never rests,
This is the lifeline,
With no reward,
And no regrets

3. Blackened Bones

With sight clear,
We saw what road lay ahead,
Burning in flames for the glorious end.
Destiny clad, upon the stone's cast,
Breathing, living, dying.

Within empty eyes of an effigy's mask,
Decrepit relic from the past.

Blackened bones.
Empty hands.

As the rain turns iron to rust,
In the lonely grave of bygone blood,
Time's cruel march, onwards it turns,
Ceaseless, breathless, dying.

Flash-blind in stellar burst,
Silhouettes of an empire, returned to dust,
Receding illumination, darkness returns,
Creeping archaic harvest yearns.

Blackened bones.
Empty hands.

4. Clarity

The mind seeks out the thoughts that rule,
A vision that's so pure and true.
Unprincipled reflections luring, taunting,
Reaching into every corner,
Behind every closed door.

All through your righteous aeons yearning,
Eternal intrusion, insanity and confusion.

Decaying, the mortal lies burden,
Contradictions burning,
Crying out in torment,
Malicious and disguised.

Deceit, the nightmares haunting,
Destroying life unending.
Despair, dreams so pale and weak,
Fear of life and pleasures undenied.
You wait, trapped by your own inaction,
The lies you hold within yourself.
Eternity, a passing place,
That soon lies under dust.
Too late to live again.

In fevered mind,
Of dark sensation,
Masochistic self-denial,
Fettered into bliss.

Deceit, the nightmares haunting,
Destroying life unending.
Despair, dreams so pale and weak.
Fear of life and pleasures undenied.

In fevered mind,
Of dark sensation,
Masochistic self-denial,
Fettered into bliss.

Broken walls are falling,
Transcending mythic paradise.
Torn veils of illusion,
Evolving cursed life.

Murmurs upon the snarling breeze,
Breathing new vitality,
Into life of which you dream,
Soulless and unredeemed.
