Feeding Fear

Hold fast my love, Don’t close your eyes
Stay with me, now; I won’t leave your side
Don’t close your eyes, Don’t chase the light
I’m feeding fear, Now I’ve become
Father of Sorrows, a man undone
I’m feeding fear
Hold fast my love, Don’t close your eyes
Stay with me, now; I won’t leave your side
Don’t close your eyes, Don’t chase the light
In your dark eyes, I see my doom
Ghosts of a loss yet to come
Haunt your empty room
This poison world brings death, swift and relentless
No mercy for the young and innocent, swift and relentless
No mercy for my love
I’m feeding fear… Father of Sorrows
This poison world… No mercy
Anointed by the tears, trembling and helpless
No release from the curse, a lifetime uncertain, trembling and helpless
No release from this curse
Hold fast my love, Don’t close your eyes
Stay with me, now; I won’t leave your side
Don’t close your eyes, Don’t chase the light

Accursed Creator

Damned to the darkness, Shunned and abhorred
I’m only what you made me
Less a man than a monster, a creature obscene
I’m only what you made me
I’ll tear down the heavens, Lay your gods at your feet
Lead you into darkness, Make you like me
Are you a man or a monster? I thought you were God
Cruel and crippled god that made me
I’ll tear down the heavens, Lay your love at your feet
Leave you in the darkness, Make you like me
Through stained glass eyes, what can you see?
Your holy lies won’t set you free
To the ends of the earth
To the very edge of time
Standing at the mouth of hell
You’ll regret the day you made me
Standing at the mouth of hell
You’ll regret the day you made me
More a god than a man, More monster than god
I’m more than what you made me
I’ll tear down the heavens, Lay your life at your feet
Bury you in darkness, Make you like me

Calling to the Void
09:00
|
|||
Rise, children of the eldritch dawn
to a world that's nearly ended
cast down your eyes and pray
To the lost gods of your doom
The depravity tugs at your sanity
Tendrils of madness twist around your mind
Still you search inside false lights for answer
Never realize you’re calling to the void
And it’s pulling you in...
Apathy belies anxiety
The unnamed fear that isolates your heart
Still you search for prophets to lead you
Never realize you’re calling to the void
And it’s pulling you in...
In the dizzying darkness of a slow descent
You watch the chaos that swirls all around you
Insular and isolated
You sink deeper into your own...
Fall, children of the eldritch dawn
For your pain is nearly ended
Cast down your eyes and see
You’ve created your own doom
Cast down your eyes and see
You’ve created your own doom

Unheard

I am destruction
The fire ever burning
Direct instruction
A lesson that needs learning
Hear me now...
Melt down the monolith
Recast it in my shape
The dirty thing you hid
The bastard born of hate
Hear me now...
Hide your eyes and clutch your pearls—this is your
Screaming child, shitting and squirming while you hide...
Your ears can be deaf no longer
This hate that you birthed has come home
The sound of anguish grows louder
This truth you’ve always known:
I am the past and the future
Your kingdom laid to waste
Caged and in darkness no longer
Unholy shrines defaced
Give the future to chaos
Your rule has led to this
Give the future to chaos
Your rule has led to...
This final movement:
Death throes of dying worlds
I march with violent intent
To raise the voice unheard
To raise the voice unheard
Give the future to chaos
I march with violent intent
Give the future to chaos
Death throes of dying worlds
Give the future to chaos
To raise the voice unheard
Give the future to chaos

Mountain of Souls
09:16

“Rein in the dogs, sound the horn to call the hunters home
Before the dusk turns to dark on the Mountain of Souls.”
“Our dogs are bred for the hunt, and our horses are swift as light.
We need have no fear of the dark, or the beasts of the night.”
“It’s not the wolves that we fear, boy, for this is the Night of All Souls,
And soon, when vespers begin, the Templars’ bell will toll.
Haunted, these ruins will come alive tonight.”
“Love, I know you must leave here. I would not make you stay,
But give a poor boy a token to remember you for all days.”
“There, upon the mountain, I left this gift I would give.
If you desire remembrance, this scarf you shall retrieve.”
“My love, I fear no tales. I will return ere long.”
Midnight passes. Bells toll. Doors close.
Footsteps echo closer.
The morning will bring daylight again,
But will everything be all right again?
This mountain belongs to Knights Templar
They’ll cede it not even in death
On the Night of All Souls they rise
The Blind Dead, sworn to protect…
In the morning, her cold body found,
Eyes bulging, lips a frozen scream,
Dead from the horror, still clutching bloody shawl,
Proof that this nightmare, this nightmare was no dream
This nightmare… This nightmare was no dream…
Knights Templar Arise…
