False Idol 04:59
I am petrified A slow ascending shade Flesh made crystalline Drawn out like a silver blade In time False idols I worship Bring me to my knees Exalted in death To avarice a monument Everything I coveted so becomes my way A monument to avarice In precious stone remade I was transformed by My wicked will in life Flesh made crystalline Drawn out like a silver blade In time False idols I worship Bring me to my knees Exalted in death To avarice a monument

High corporeal Medium's circle Violet torches light the grove Black mass ritual initiation Indoctrinated from birth Born and dead in a trance Empty vessel Shambling golem Hollow man Born and dead in a trance Born and dead Pandemonium At end of empire Hounds will feast upon hounds Holy monolith Dissonant master Indoctrinated from birth

Phantom in the glass Split by the prism and returned to ash A silhouette that casts a twin collapses Like burning candle wax Triple gemini Nothing but human behind the eyes The blood runs slow and cold under disguises We homunculi Children of our times In mirrored trine Black lambs painted white Homunculi Children of our times Dowsed in lye And drunk on ether Bastard child In mirrored trine Homunculi Blessed by fire And reborn in the pyre

Dark Sun 04:42
Finer eclipse Horizon of cut diamond Waves it emits Drowns the world in darkness Solar abyss Love's light cannot escape it Lantern of Nyx Bathes the mind in sadness The star above my bed Is a dark sun that never sets Spirit adrift upon a sea of shadow Nocturnal gift Tips the entropic arrow Temporal shift The years fold into hours Lantern of Nyx Bathes the mind in sadness The star above my bed Is a dark sun that never sets

Your hopes are like glass cathedrals Hidden from the light And your dreams are like glass cathedrals They fracture so easily This world is like a glass cathedral It was built to shatter Your heart was like a glass cathedral It was meant to break
7.
Embers 05:05
By the warmth of burning bridges I will keep this dream alive Like a comet catching fire Immolating on my way into the sun Fading light in me Fever dreams of the devil's horsemen Burned in effigy By the will of masonic forces Like lungs lamenting oxygen Ash and embers decorate the road ahead And the emperors have lost their heads Ash and embers decorate the loneliness Ego death as my arms blister Pain subsides as I let go Fading light in me Fever dreams of the devil's horsemen Burned in effigy By the will of masonic forces Ancient enemy in the heart of every mirror Bleak infinity at the end of every road
8.
Pale Heart 06:55
Distant thunder Shroud of grey To electric gods I pray Ivory tower Modern way Flowers wilt and colours fade Every night and every morn Some to misery are born Some are born to sweet delight Some are born to endless night The curator of a pale heart dreaming of the days it had a pulse Framed in silver Raised in shade Fragile psyche born from pain A millennium in a day Graceful degradation of my faith From the shores of love I depart The curator of a pale heart Null and void

Black Waltz 01:56

Stone Devils 06:39
We are all dragging tablets Every sin etched into the slab Mortal flesh is like marble Each of us is the sculptor and the stone And I would sell my soul So we could live forever But after all is said and done Even devils turn to stone I am chained to a gargoyle Shackled by the choices I have made Like a parody of Atlas I am crushed under this demon's weight Devils turn to stone And I would sell my soul So we could live forever But after all is said and done Even devils turn to stone And now I'm so far from my home But after all is said and done Even devils turn to stone
