The Trees Shall Bow
03:47

|

through dank ravines
where their blood flows in shallow streams
to fill the hollows deep in our dreams
there stands the altar of our defeat
there lie the offerings for our deceit
their voices echo in our abyss
victims sacrificed
for tyrants in ebony towers
their lives taken
to enrich those with power
opressors beware
you shall be dethroned
enraged masses sweep the lands
scythes and daggers will mark your end
not even ruins shall remain
the moss shall overgrow the debris
the trees shall bow
under the burden of rotting fruit
we shall have our harvest
they shall share our pain
the ploughshares
shall become swords again
guillotine
the tyrants are now prey
the crows shall get their pay
the revolt had it´s way
rats to feast on the remains

Constant Conflict
02:35

fear ist gnawing
like a Rat in my Guts
biting and scratching and tearing apart
harrows my mind
with crippling effect
and I'm not sure
If it will ever leave again
constant conflict
With myself
always judging
never at peace
this time
will be different
I know it for sure
convinced that I changed
my intentions are pure
How many times have I lied to myself
only to be disillusioned again
once you Look behind the veil
is there anything left
of the Person you once where
is there anything left
Fractured personality
rejecting the truth
Constructed reality
rejecting the truth

Vitriol
04:20
|
|

Once alive
now just hollow shells
we've been withering
like our mortal coils
dissolving fleeting
under a cruel sun
the things that rot inside
the things we can't outrun
it's all this vitriol
all this bile and hate
that covers everything
and leaves this bitter taste
And leaves this bitter taste
shaking hands and cramping stomachs
wading through the ashes of funeral pyres
biting, swinging and lashing out
against this world
that feeds us nothing
with nothing but contempt
We swallowed this poison
for far too long
it hollowed us out
it drips out (of) our mouths
despite our efforts to keep it down
hiding behind veils of lies
well tell us "this is fine"
and denie
the light that's dying inside our eyes
can't you feel it boiling in your veins?
can't you feel the fire behind your eyes?
let it loose
let it fucking loose
release your inner demons
clear out this brocken vessel
all the seals are breached
drain you empty
leave a clean wound
and empty vessel
everready to be filled again
drained of all the poison
we are just hollow shells
deep inside there ist this void
desperate to be filled again
drive these nails into our coffins
carve these lines into our flesh
drinking out of hemlock cups
but this thirst won't be quenched
hang us high upon the gallows
tie the noose around our necks
deep inside there ist this void
and it's never to be filled again

everything as always
day after day
nothing ever changes
but for changes we pray
we never listen we never learn
ouroboros
endless return
dissolving in bitter truth
mourning our rotting youth
greeting death
with a grin
a grin of broken teeth
Over and over and over again
bound to this cycle of rebirth and pain
leading the lives we always lived
repeating mistakes - we always did
time runs like molten tar
crawling through the filth of civilisations
lambs to the cosmic slaughter
