Nihil Est
03:40
|

Buy your life or die
in a strife for hollow pride
while real life I denied
you're watching it all through a filter of irony
Now love dies as the hammer hits the caskets final nail
who cares it’s just genetics anyway
Consume
And walk the earth as living dead
Reproduce
No matter how your life is lead
nihil est
So stand in line
nihil est
Fill your empty chest
nihil est
Feed an endless hunger
nihil est
And wait for death
in truth your world falls apart
there's no blood in your heart
as you keep bowing your head
when will you realize your praising the dead?
Now humanity dies in an unintended suicide
When all that is of worth has no place left to hide
Hope
Is a false conclusion
Life
Is a delusion
Buy your life or die
in a strife for hollow pride
as you keep bowing your head
as you keep praising the dead
Now all dies in paradoxical pride
So don’t question living death, just join the ride
Attach
Your every lust
Detach
From every trust
nihil est
So stand in line
nihil est
Fill your empty chest
nihil est
Feed an endless hunger
nihil est
And wait for death

State of Nothing
05:26
|
|||
Meeting you has forced me to
See myself in different shades
To see the ugliness of innocence
Innocent no more
I unwillingly leap into a faithless state
I anxiously arise into a new unclean slate
Condemned by your actions
I take the fall
Your past shoots into my future
And the ricochet pierces my heart
I am left nothing at all
Out of nothing I’m created
Apatheia, free from hatred
Yet unclean
Yet unseen
now Projektiled
into a new state of nothing
Emptier than before
Devoid of ideals
Devoid of hoping
Empty, pointless , sore
bleeding my life through the wound
from the thorn in my side
screaming out cries
that are muted by your hollow lies
bleeding my life through the wound
from the thorn in my side
drifting away from what once
was my entire life
Without pride we die
Pointlessly fragile
With a new shade of hope
That nothing is enough

Senseless
07:04

There I was, in shards
as you embraced me
but the shards cut through your flesh
and I became your agony
as I saw your pain I wanted
wanted it so I could be a martyr
as a regress of reaction, regretted
the pain wasn't there to endure
I dream away
and fall asleep
I hope, in vain?
for a dream where I'm alive
I became celestial to you
just to be defiled from my
face of incoherence I got
I got redefined
You tear a frozen heart
enforce a soulless core
with life just to rip apart
you tear without touch
I dream away
and fall asleep
I hope, in vain?
for a dream where I'm alive
While you tear my limbs I sleep
I sleep and dream of sense
I'm absent while you reap
that is my painless sentence
So I dream away
and fall asleep
I hope, in vain?
for a dream where I'm alive... for I'm not

Connect to Disconnect
04:49
|

we're all lotus eaters drowning our selves in pseudo pleasures
as leaches suck us dry
we are as well the leaches feasting on others
to survive
wing clipped and caged by our own accord
we escape into a state of hibernation
denying our pain leaving nothing but feelings
of alienation
we're all strangers
entangled
in a still force, a catatonic storm of violence
drifting further and further away
into a cold growing distance
in our sleeping state we build glass cathedrals
as fragile monuments of our damaged perception
feeding us with dreams and
perfecting the art
of self-deception
self-deception
in between our isolated catacombs
their is a ghost in the machine ripping children from their womb
"tabula rasa" in reverse
a twisted longing for the hearse
so disconnect and disappear
into a cold distance
let your damaged perception lead you to
diluted existence
let you colours fade
into an empty page
alone, desensitized
in apathetic rage
we ascend into a virtual mind
a pseudo active effort to leave the pain behind
an we become hollow
letting our blank screens show only the shallow
we project an empty self
onto virtual reflection
pushing our pains and hopes onto
the other side of the connection
connect to disconnect
tread down punch up
push it all away
don't let the phantom pain
stand in your way
tread down punch up
push it all away
don't let your true self
stand in your way

Enigma
05:45
|

Barely standing and ablaze
When did I lose my pace?
Who tore me up and smashed my sight
And lead me into this maze
Is it you that has taken my eyes,
Shredded my heart,
Silenced my voice
And torn me apart?
Is it you my sweet enigma?
You whom I have yearned
Is it you my true enigma?
Who has left my here to burn
Left incomplete
Stained by thoughts
Unable to flee
From bruised thoughts
Is it you?
Burning my mind
Piercing through
You who unwind
me
It is you that took my eyes,
Shred my heart,
Silenced my voice
And tore me apart
My insides, black as coal
A void in me, a bullet hole
One thought left in me
One thought left to see
One thought… you
You
Enigma

No I
06:59
|

Loneliness is not an issue
when you can't even find yourself
the guilt of birth will forever haunt you
as you're born again, and again, and again
mirror on the wall
what ever I am you are
help me define myself
help me break the fall
the hard fall, a new birth
I am once again
empty inside, a broken facade
with nothing of loss to gain
this curse shatters fragments of memories
across my mind
the fragments of pain from what once was
an earlier I
as the memories fade away
a moonless night grows into me
as I change into this formless state (I wonder)
is this emptiness my fate
the hard fall, a new birth
I am once again
empty inside, a broken facade
with nothing of loss to gain
one mouth / one heart
no I / in mind
one head / these hands
no I / inside
within the fragments of my memories
you're greater than before
two fold in nature
both blessed and cursed
a holy whore
the further you drift away
the holier your false image
that once were my fall
my change into the once appalled
come you / to me
no I / you see
turn away / from this face
no I / to state
cold eyes / blank face
no I / in this embrace
no more / not me
no I...set me free

Fruset Blod
03:57

I frusen sorg
är vi ämnade att leva
där fruset blod
koagulerar
Vi bygger ett hem av döda kvistar
Vi bygger en värld av förlorade ögon
Vår skurna blick ser sanningen vissna
Drar hjärtat ur bröstet och bygger om
I fruset hat lämnar vi
vår natur
I kallt förnuft bygger vi
våran mur
Vi bygger en borg av döda stenar
Vi bygger en makt i en sorglös stat
Våra skurna lämmar bleknar
Det gror tomhet ur vårt frusna hat
I fruset hat lämnar vi
vår natur
I kallt förnuft bygger vi
våran mur
I kylan lämnar vi våra ord
Med tidlös makt av fruset blod
så lev
lev tomhet
skär dina ord
med det du vet
Så lämna mig i ett hav
av fruset blod
skapat av fruset hat
som skapelsens ord
så lev
lev tomhet
skär dina ord
med det du vet
I frusen sorg
är vi ämnade att leva
där fruset blod
koagulerar

Essence
07:04
|

I wake up sleeping
Screaming silent words
of joyful rage
I feel i creeping
the feeling
of a crystal haze
In this divided entity
I stand and rise at once
Restricted by eternity
I fall into the walls
I am a purpose of the meaningless
A reason without thought
A strife which is truly willingless
in stillness without pause
I take my comfort in pain
without knowledge of nothingness
I am truth's bane
In love with apathy
I am alive
Watch me loose my victory
and walk the empty trail
and laugh at my own victory
as I still prevail
I am nothing
I am all
I am I am I am
Not at all
I rise I fall forever
I am life

Late november
06:08

Slowly I fade as my mind is drained
The dusk closes in
darkness takes over
and reveals the state I’m in
slowly I fade
Twisted existence
the perspective is turned
into bewildered patterns
slowly I fade
Winter casts its shadow
breaks all connection,
reclaims the endowed
and casts me into oblivion
In the distance I see my reflection
stained glass clouding my Image
I feel the change into perplexion
as my mind is drained
The day darkens
my surroundings fuses in a haze
thrown into silence
as my mind is drained
Over a ground of simplicity
a cryptic net rises
a veil covers the sky
this mask has sealed my eyes
Into winter, the closure if the year
I am steered into this fear
I must endure this eternal evening sky
as November reaches its final night
Slowly I fade as my mind is drained

Mute
08:03

liquid pushes from behind
boiling the wounds of my mind
reunited with panic,
as a mute scream passes though me
reborn in a hanged state of mind
as revenge for my apathy
a scream from muted lips
resonates through my finger tips
as I am reborn and remain
hanged once again
helpless, amputated
from a voice that doesn't fade
your absent presence, your present absence
panic once again
it deforms me from the inside
crawls in my heart and rips the tissue
this presence always at my side
it stabs at wounds, it pushes through
I am losing ground
thorn by screams without sound
crippled and defiled
struck by a relentless tide
I am paralyzed
struck by silent cries
beaten, mute and lame
panic once again
taken by this voice
a silencing noise
overwhelmed by silent pain
reborn, hanged once again
