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

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

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

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
