Saverence Testo

Bearing weight of mountains of grief on my soul Silent waters rise as the nightmares unfold Forever shrouded lies my universe And frozen the fields of my heart Severance Burning images of truth forgotten haunt my days Fractured memories, surrendered all my hopes and ways Feeding the demon, how can I live with this stone in my breast, I can feel the wind turn north-northwest When did this start, how will this end, what horrid future lies around the bend (I) brace myself against the onslaught of the dark Please return to thaw the insides of my heart With fear I grasp the cramped and severed cord And try to find my way back home to the lord Severance cold sweat dews mourning dawn Severance I cry of all my hopes forlorn ...and night comes whispering to me, the cold hands of temptation they poison my soul- A Certain Knowledge - Lift the curse from us so we can see Through rainy days we feed our misery So many different names we nail upon the cross To mock ourselves, to grin at bitter loss And when we see right through the clouds that we create We're gripped with fear and burn the sacred oil of Life eternal to the darkening skies With only memories to guide we wander through those winter fields Where frost bites deep and cruel wind tears at our bleeding hearts ...our bleeding empty hearts See where the sun breaks the clouds they appear made of light They ride upon horses the wind and the rain, whitewingèd stallions of immortal gain Visions to strengthen the duskeaten souls on their way through the night Towards eternal life in the face of the light Bu t chaos still is in command Darkness feasts upon my lack of strength A certain knowledge engraved upon us all This world of sin shall surely fall Rejoice my soul, I shall not fear We are delivered, death, where is thy sting ? Aimlessly we stride on and on through frozen fields until we die And wind can no more haunt our sleep the shallow graves keep out the night ...keep out the night... ...and night must yield to day and die - The Wine Of The Sun - Feel my heartbeat, gather flowers to spread with the breeze Forever entwined in each other's arms that never cease to caress Hold your breath, drink the kiss, the wine of the sun But again it will pass, the flickering drowned by the darkness of night The wine of the sun, how long will it last Forgotten the days, the fever it still burns inside but you're numb The pain of your life, the time will ever and ever flow on ...flow on... Don't strangle your heart, but there are things we must learn to accept Never give up, the shadows can never be cast without light But who would think of shadows in heavens of bliss? Where all I crave is the touch of your hands and a kiss... Down from your clouds I call upon your reason Look back on your life - how many kisses and how many scars The wine of the sun, is it but poison that flows through your heart? At the gate of dawn inverted you stand with your life in your hands The pain that you spread, beware the dusk that will turn on your soul Down from your clouds I call upon your reason Open your eyes And see your self-deceit - Salvation Paradox - One for all Salvation paradox Eye for an eye The law is lost all hail the king The time is nigh read all the signs of storms to come And yet I would plant trees and finish all that's to be done, it's One for all Born to die Sacrifice Kingdom come One for all Martyrium to end all pain for evermore Wipe off all tears and fill all hearts with mortal joy One for all, the promise holds, fear not to die We're ransomed by this priceless flesh and blood Martyrium to end all pain for evermore Wipe off all tears and hold my hand on the way See where the beautiful wounds spill blood to quench all thirst and soothe all pain distorts the face crownèd in scorn as he defeats the last of all our enemies- Dona Nobis Pacem - Rising from the lake of fire the white swan wings shall burn Soaring up they take you higher it breaks your smile with every turn Stretched out into cold horizons are memories of the serpent shore A silent taste of cursed desires, afraid, but still you long for more Defeat, oh horrid vision, leave my mind! Set me free from the cage of my memories and of my dreams Open doors to oblivion where sanctified slumber awaits Be the dreams of ephemeral stature to leave me in time Leave my private own darkness behind as I pass through the gates Made restless by conscience I crave for relief but I'm wedding my eyes to the hand of a thief Will my terror at least take my mind off the feast and caution me to not fall asleep? Did I burn all my oil in the eve and my slumber so the groom shall pass me left forever to hunger Still to kindle the fire I'll start and awake and beg and plead for my burning soul's sake Dona nobis pacem Father, I see the clouds march up to cover the evening sky and the stars are but dim lights in abysmal distance, Apprehension of the moonlit enigma - of time in reversal, suffering eternal, judgement a-coming, deliver me from this terminal dusk unto the dawn of everlasting light Damnation beyond the realms of earthly fire, impotent to withdraw, eternal death Fear not my child, I shall take your hand If you follow me to the promised land you shall never fear again Defeat, itself defeated, fled my mind Set me free from the cage of my memories and of my dreams Open doors to oblivion where sanctified slumber awaits Be the dreams of ephemeral stature to leave me in time Leave my private own darkness behind as I pass through the gates - Shriving Time - Oh what glorious fields we have reaped Brazen, envenomed with pride In circular motion we harvest defeat On the gallows the tide turns to night Luna wakes to illuminate deeds to be done in the shelter of darkness Thus betrayed we claim schemes to be less than they seem and divide to hush up our departures Ominous shadows and bringers of light gather up the droppings of angels Then at cockcrow they hurry for a place to be buried and their arrogance turns to the coldest of despairs Territus terreo! Slave to our meaningless goals we crawl Torn between heaven and hell Humana sighs, to vermin and filth she's born And duly serves her helpless masters well And now, by our burden of sins We are drawn down upon our knees Again to crawl as we used to do With the fields now infertile we turn And blame the blood of our brothers The sky shall grow black as we burn And our smoke is reversed by the heavens Luna wakes...- The MassGraves - Bitterness holds on to me with cruel hands eating all forgiveness, burning all the bridges I have crossed to find the way And, Lord, I know I went astray All is lost, all is gone, emptiness dawns on me The Mass Graves Silence is what I began to fear most of all eating all my self-importance, all the pretentious fucking things I thought I had to say Oh, Lord, I know I went astray The howling, the gnashing of teeth ! Hear the darkside call my soul to the mass graves Summon all strength with the will to atone and despair be both vice and the punishing, tormenting stone Vengeance is mine says the Lord in his wrath and his mercy is great but so terribly narrow the path- Todgeweiht - Kalt vereist zerbersten Brücken in unseren Herzen voller Furcht Der Haß frißt tiefer sich hinein Unfaßbar schmerzt der saure Kuß des bittern Lichts vergangner Zeit Wir sind todgeweiht Wir sind Einsamkeit Ein grauer Schleier sinkt herab und seltsam schmückt der Sehnsucht Grab Auf allen Vieren kriechen wir und jagen andres Kriechgetier Verhüllt der Schleier schon das Wort, begrüßt das Opfer schon den Mord Auge um Auge um Auge um Auge um Auge des Wahnsinns Gerechtigkeit Auf allen Vieren kriechen wir und jagen andres Kriechgetier Die Galle tropft uns noch vom Kiefer singen wir falsche Liebeslieder Himmel hilf, die Zeit ist um Die Brücken sind längst abgeschrieben und selbst den Haß scheinst du zu lieben Der Furcht hast du ein Haus gebaut
