Erisiptolis, font of wisdom
Let us sing of a gift, where blindly
Drawn to it, as with flame is a moth
Let your eyes feast on the fine cloth
Spring-time waters shining still
Underneath the bitter trees I feel
Overwhelmed to see my face
Reflected, by the beauty of this lake
I lay silent and awake
Gaze at her artful way,
Scenes of wonder to portray
With no words left to say,
Felt by beauty swept away,
Gaze at her artful way,
Scenes of wonder to portray
Threads of life turn to grey,
In this mirror of decay
Isolate from reality
She reflects on what life is meant to be
A mortal body with grace of God
Lying on a bed of moss
Of my figure, I can't bear the loss
Waiting here in solitude
Reflected, under moonlight
Softly played my own fatal serenade
Gaze at her artful way,
Scenes of wonder to portray
With no words left to say,
Felt by beauty swept away,
Gaze at her artful way,
Scenes of wonder to portray
Threads of life turn to grey,
In this mirror of decay
Mesmerized, down to my dying day, in hollow light
At my life's end, my everlasting scent

Weakness Lies Within
04:18
|

My body shivers as I stare
Can this be made of mortal flair
In coldest shadows,
My mind is eternally bewitched
Now I know how envy feels
To call upon her noble skills
I get this feeling, bitter like
The blood that runs in me
All thoughts now sear my flesh
Eris has grabbed my throat
Compelled to fold my wings
My burning eyes to stay blind
All thoughts now sear my flesh
Beyond this blessed whispered note
Invisible scars on my skin
The morbid ways of my mind
Yet I'm stunned to witness bliss
To share with you one deadly kiss
I won't accept this, fingers knit
Of pride and insolence
They must not forsake my name
My heart no longer shall I drain
I get this feeling, human as the weakness lies within
Your presence provokes me
It's time to release all your fears
All thoughts now sear my flesh
Eris has grabbed my throat
Compelled to fold my wings
My burning eyes to stay blind
All thoughts now sear my flesh
Beyond this blessed whispered note
Invisible scars on my skin
The morbid ways of my mind

Time Immemorial
04:31
|

You're lying, through your teeth
Never had? You had the thought of torturing young souls?
The taste of power is sweet, take a sip!
There's no regret in this corrupted world
Don't let out feelings of sympathy
It's been done since time immemorial
Our challengers, in birds they were transformed
Cruelty's your only true recourse
Maybe once, I won't allow it
Seems too kind to rise above it
Maybe this time I'll be vulgar
I'll see through you, pride is not my sin
Burned candle at both ends
It's too late for apologies
Try, try, try, try, try, try
Mercy is for the weak
Your mind is wandering
You can't, you can't refuse the consequences
The taste of power is sweet, take a sip!
You won't regret, it's just a helpless soul
Empathy is just a human flaw
Feelings esteemed to highly
A fair warning, for poisoning your heart
Now dwell upon it, choice is yours
Burned candle at both ends
It's too late for apologies
Try, try, try, try, try, try
Mercy is for the weak
Desolate, devastate, mutilate, dominate

Disguised as old unseen soul
I know how the story goes
My wisdom is my shield
Against all life throws at me
Caught in a web of lies, in this somnolent life
You move forward, you misstep, you carry on
Someone needs to waken you, take my warning for it's true
Lift the sorrow, hear your wounds, you carry on
My sweet mortal soul
Lying in yourself once more
Let these words serve as antidote for insolence
Look at this old wrinkled face
You seem to not know your place
I feel the taunting, disdain, your youth in vain
Caught in a web of lies, in this somnolent life
You move forward, you misstep, you carry on
Someone needs to waken you, take my warning for it's true
Lift the sorrow, hear your wounds, you carry on
My sweet mortal soul
Lying in yourself once more
Let these words serve as antidote for insolence
My sweet mortal soul
Lying in yourself once more
Let these words serve as antidote for insolence

Afraid No More

Dark energy surrounds you
Chosen to unleash your wrath
Lost in a cloud of vanity
You're shaping your own path
Foolish eyes, you fail to recognize
See me fall, on my knees
Why won't she hear my call
I wish to know why the great
And powerful won't appear before me
It seems so brash and wrong
This strength I'm feeling
I'm not afraid no more
I found peace in malice
Do the worst you can, show no pity,
I'm your mindful guard of nothingness
Free of my chains at last
Won't accept obscurity
I create my own chaos
This time you will believe in me
Yearn to fight, soon you'll wish to hide from light
I am bound, having no choice
But to stand my ground
I bleed of avarice
And I am not afraid of you no longer
It seems so brash and wrong
This strength I'm feeling
I'm not afraid no more
I found peace in malice
Do the worst you can, show no pity
Bring me your tempest and rainfall

Showdown
06:23
|

Mortal, do you dare to challenge me?
On sacred rocks (sacred rocks)
His presence known (enosichthon)
Rise up from the waves
To prove his force will give
An offering (of salt and sea)
The grey-eyed (god you long to see)
A long-lived tree, the greater gift
Ruler of oceans, you lost your claim
Bringer of wisdom, city calls my name
Time is ripe, for your pride to drown
Willful notions, take a stand in this showdown
Weaving, spinning, here unfolds my tale
Warp don't fail me, for this time I must prevail
I've been waiting for this for a very, very long time
Like a plague (across the lands)
Committed crimes (by godly hands)
Before us they appear, to witness pain and fear
In human flesh (behind the veil)
Seduce the brides (deceive the pure)
Behind their cries, a web of lies
Eyes drip of poison, lust for revenge
Lightning and fire fall from Heaven
Time is ripe, for your pride to drown
Willful notions, take a stand in this showdown
Weaving, spinning, here unfolds my tale
Warp don't fail me, for this time I must prevail
Yarns of silver, threads of gold

The Taste Of Defeat
05:18
|
|||
All is dealt and done
It's written all over my face
The gloves are off, all hope is gone
Sharp glass I've knelt upon
No, my eyes deceive me
Such majestic weaving
Done by mortal hand
Cannot be the one
No, my eyes deceive me
Such majestic weaving
Done by mortal hand
Cannot be the chosen one
Flaming thoughts
Of oblivion, taunting me
I'm haunted, I can't escape
Pure wrath feels so sweet
Yet bitter's the taste of defeat
I'm being consumed by rage within
Deprived of divinity
No, my eyes deceive me
Such majestic weaving
Won't accept to fall
Prove my self to all
No, my eyes deceive me
Such majestic weaving
Won't accept to fall
Prove myself once and for all
Wide awake, demons in my mind
Struck her face
Abruptly, as madness seeps in
Pure wrath feels so sweet
Yet bitter's the taste of defeat
I'm being consumed by rage withing
Deprived of divinity

In Hiding
04:32

While in hiding
Saw the truth mocking me,
Witness the same,
Unfold my own self-fulfilled prophecy.
While in hiding
My deus ex machina
Struck me down.
Collapse of time.
While in hiding
Spinning in memories,
End of my rope.
My final exit start to see
While in hiding
I felt the void within my catharsis.
Now I bleed.
So cold,
Now do I feel?
So cold,
Now do I feel?
Silence is ear shattering,
Regret comes in
My life's work in ruins.
All memory
Is washed off on first sign of
Rain.
Rain.
All memory
Is washed of on first sign of...
While in hiding
I cursed my egoism,
Eager to fill emptiness within
My hollow self.
While in hiding
I gazed at the abyss.
Little time now have I left.
While in hiding
Spinning in memories,
End of my rope.
My final exit start to see
While in hiding
I felt the void within my catharsis.
Now I bleed.
So cold,
I can see now.
So cold,
I can see now.
Silence is ear shattering,
Regret comes in
My life's work in ruins.
All memory
Is washed off on first sign of
Rain.
Rain.
All memory
Is washed of on first sign of...
All memory
Is washed of on first sign of...
All memory
Is washed of on first sign of...

I Spare You
03:59
|

When you're blinded by revenge
You are then shaken awake, into a daunting reality
Hanging shadow of one's self
I can see clearly the path, thus I forgive, it begins
Now
It's not a punishment, if you won't suffer
Each day from here on out, only gets tougher
Then as you sleep, your dreams will fall through
Death will not be your end, I spare you
Muses have pronounced your fate
You are condemned to reside in the never ending nightmare
Metamorphosis starts now
Hence my vengeance is done, sins I absolve, I forgive
It's not a punishment, if you won't suffer
Each day from here on out, only gets tougher
This life, I spare you
So, it begins now
I ache and I breathe life
As pest you will revive
I ache and breathe life
As pest you will revive
It's not a punishment, if you won't suffer
Each day from here on out, only gets tougher

A Gift Of Curse
04:15
|
|||
Thou shalt not die, chose to defy
Thou shalt not die, tears have run dry
Thou shalt not die, you can't deny
This gift of curse
Here is how your story ends
A day to remember
As arachnid now it's time
To survive
Be forever cursed
Start to melt your skin
So, right before your eyes
Time goes by in circles
You thought you had it all
Through darkness
You shall crawl
It's what you lived for
Creeping up from place to place
For all the rest of days
Heaving silk and luring pests
On your fragile precious webs
Tell me what you've learned
As you quietly move
Your eights legs of shame
Time goes by in circles
You thought you had it all
Through darkness
You shall crawl
It's what you lived for
