NEMESIS I: Awakening
09:13
|
|||
The earth is still, I dare not move.
Thoughts rush through my head, I cannot make sense of it,
I’m overwhelmed, I fall deep into the darkness…
Am I dreaming, am I dead?
The silence is ringing in my ears, I’m stuck inside this shell,
I’m not myself anymore.
A vision, confusion of the mind,
Faint memories, vague and unaligned.
Spacetime being redefined,
Matter of a different kind.
Unsystematic motion,
Collapsing gravitation,
All I see is blackness,
I’m being torn to pieces.
All unity is shattered,
Chaotic mess of fragments,
Depersonalisation,
What have I become?
Death through my hand,
War and bloodshed, held in a cage,
Am I a god or a slave?
Trespassing the sphere between the worlds,
Gradual clarity emerges from the sherds.
My strength grows through the breath of life,
Ascending from the grounds into the heights.
A new force has arisen,
My sense of life awakened,
Fierce determination
To serve a greater purpose.
Enlightened by pure doctrines
Of morality and justice,
I feel my vocation
To rid this world of lies.
Death through my hand
War and bloodshed, held in a cage
Am I a god or a slave?
Rule over me
I must obey you, stronger than ever,
Are you a god or a slave?
I’m craving, yearning, I am suffocating.
Can’t you see?
I’m craving, yearning, I am suffocating.
I am waking.
I’m calling, come to me.
Tell me who to be.
Calling, let me see
All that’s left of me.
I’m calling, come to me.
Tell me who to be.
Calling, let me see
All that’s left of me.

Enslaved
07:01
|
|||
I’ve been a slave for too long
I’m begging, begging,
Please, take it out of me, end this misery,
I would rather be …
Echoing screams screech out of the deepest depths of the darkness.
Can’t take my eyes of the burning flesh – feverish, hellish nightmares
Nightmares
I’ve been a slave for too long
I’m begging, begging,
Please, take it out of me, end this misery,
I would rather be …
I’ve been a slave for too long.
Lifeless, merciless, draining the life out of me,
And yet again,
CHAOS IS ALL I SEE!
The world is transparent, only I’m opaque.
The world is indifferent, only I’m awake.
The world is diseased, we are a mistake.
I can’t undo my deeds, the evil
There is, the cries, the lies, the monsters we are.
I’ve been a slave for too long
I’m begging, begging,
Please, take it out of me, end this misery,
I would rather be …
I’ve been a slave for too long.
I live to reveal the conspiracy,
The ultimate stigma.
I know my act will bring clarity,
Enlightenment to the oppressed, the unaware, the ones without a voice.
I’ve been a slave for too long
I’m begging, please
I would rather be …
I’ve been a slave for too long
I’m begging, begging,
Please, take it out of me, end this misery,
I, I’ve been a slave for too long
I’ve been, I’ve been a slave for too long.

Phoenix
05:24
|
|||
You think you’re in control of me.
I am going to make you see.
I will tear down the walls,
the walls you imprisoned me in,
this hell pit of sin.
I rise from the flames and I do not fear you,
I come alive.
Why did I go wrong?
Consumed by desire, rage and despair.
Can I ever be forgiven?
Overshadowed by
The darkness that spawned the creatures that hunt me.
Now I realise the monster lives in me.
Look, behold what you made me do,
I’ll do it to you.
Your blood will silence the screams in my head
And the tears they have shed.
I am the one,
The one who will lay you to rest in my final quest.
Heed my words, I’m ready to lose it all.
Why did I go wrong?
Consumed by desire, rage and despair.
Can I ever be forgiven?
Overshadowed by
The darkness that spawned the creatures that hunt me.
Now I realise the monster lives in me.
Why did I go wrong, why did I go wrong, why?
[why did I go wrong?]
Why did I go wrong, why did I go wrong, why?
[why did I go wrong?]
Why did I go wrong, why did I go wrong, why?
[why did I go wrong?]
Why did I go wrong, why did I go wrong, why?
Why did I do wrong?
Consumed by desire, rage and despair.
Can I ever be forgiven?
Why did I go wrong?
Consumed by desire.
Where did I go wrong?
And the monster lives in me.
It lives in me …

NEMESIS II: Arrival
09:37
|
|
||
I swell in sweet memories
A stroll of beauty untold
Where joy may never cease
Where bliss is a mellow breeze.
I carry on, searching for the light.
Sublimity of greatest splendour, but
Reality is calling for me.
Soon to be deaf and blind,
I long to remain, gazing at the sun,
Hold on to me.
I am lonely,
Sailing away, I’m unbound.
[This is my final journey]
I carry, I carry the light in my heart.
[I carry the light]
To make things right.
The earth is still, I dare not move.
Am I dreaming, am I dead?
It all will shatter, claiming my life but I’m not afraid
Come to me, set me free, I surrender
Finally, finally, I am free.
Lonely,
Sailing away, I’m unbound.
[This is my final journey]
I carry, I carry the light in my heart.
[I carry the light]
To make things right.
May I fly or may I crawl,
I am chosen to end it all.
Mine is the might, the pain and the fall.
I will arrive, I’ll be home.
May I fly or may I crawl,
I am chosen to end it all.
Mine is the might, the pain and the fall.
I will arrive, I’ll be home.
I’ll be home.
Death through your hand
War and bloodshed, held in a cage
I am a god yet a slave.
Death through your hand
War and bloodshed, held in a cage
I am a god yet a slave.

Last Of Your Kind
04:39
|
|||
Staring up into the sky calling out to me.
Feels like I must say goodbye.
Sinking deeper and deeper now.
My mind is burning, body is yearning
Powers are fading, I’m dissipating.
I’m not alone, I’m not forsaken
I am not bound, I am myself again.
The cycle is broken now, I’m finally at peace.
Yet I know this breath will be my last.
Will not wake to see tomorrow.
I am the last of your kind.
Shallow heartbeat echoes into the hours of dawn.
Conscious fading, slowly drifting away. Hold on.
Memories feel like dreams.
Floating out of reach.
Loving silence bears
The end of another age.
The cycle is broken now, I’m finally at peace.
Yet I know this breath will be my last.
Will not wake to see tomorrow.
I am the last of your kind.
All my deeds were not in vain.
Take my life, take my pain.
All my deeds were not in vain.
Take my life, take my pain.
