Carnal Ways To Recreate The Heart


I am the one, the fallen bastard son
I'll step inside you, I'll feel your lips
And seize your flesh, to penetrate the wound

And your screams shall be dreams
Of the graceless one's rebirth

Forever I have lost the way
To the flesh that was mine today
I left my trace, I left my mark
Carnal ways to recreate the heart
Feel the pain and we know
Feel the pain and we know
And with the pain we are cursed with child
And with the pain we are cursed with child

To be with me, is to be left
I step away now, I'll leave your lips
And withered flesh, no more inside the wound

A badge of lust and wrong decisions
The cold hands of a cursed religion
A false idol to praise and worship
And coax these hellish times
To cut and paint my sins, a shade of purest white
To play the role of God, and to recreate a life

I am the one, the fallen bastard son
I'll step inside you, I'll feel your lips
And seize your flesh tonight

A false idol to worship
And coax these hellish times
To play the role of God, and recreate a life
A badge of lust and wrong decisions
The cold hands of a cursed religion
To cut and paint my sins
A shade of purest white, I paint my sins in white!

Forever I have lost the way
To the flesh that was mine today
Forever I have lost the way
To the flesh that was mine today
I left my trace I left my mark
Carnal ways to recreate the heart
Feel the pain and we know
Feel the pain and we know
And with the pain we are cursed with child
And with the pain we are cursed with child

Dust And Guilt


Sensations, curse me and my ways
Force-feed me blind on empty days

Today, my faith was lost again
A grave was dug to mourn its loss
And in this grave I keep my friends
Loneliness, impure urges
And the pain that only I can bring

A mouthful of dust and guilt
A season of haste and wilt

And to this day I'll search for you
To nurse and clean
My mouthful of dust and guilt
My mouthful of dust and guilt

Come forever
Come blindness
Come bringing forth
The pain of logic and reason
That hides in here
And for my dreams I'll pay dearly
Forfeit my rights to see clearly
Your flaws, my flaws
In all of our ways

Come forever
Come blindness
Come bringing forth
The pain of reason and logic
That hides in here
And for my dreams I'll pay dearly
Forfeit my rights to see clearly
Your flaws, my flaws
In all of our ways

Today, my faith was lost again
A grave was dug to mourn its loss
And in this grave I keep my friends
Loneliness, impure urges
And the pain that only I can bring

My mouthful of dust and guilt
My mouthful of dust and guilt

Elegant And Perverse


Engulfed within somnolence
Submerged within chimera
In isolation I wander
To the place of my sepulcher
The beauty of oblivion

Obstructing my path
Elegant yet perverse
To follow that before me
So blindly I durst

Visions of all I desire came
These gifts I could obtain
The penalty for such treasure
In your world I could not remain
By temptation weakened
Like flowers beneath the frost
Fantasy was mine to live
I realized not my loss

Anon it was ended
Anon it had begun
I awaken after every dusk
Never revealed is the sun
Now in perpetual somnolence
In immortal isolation I wander
Submerged in chimera
To the place of my sepulcher

To the fulfilled I am cursed
To the deprived blessed
Elegant yet perverse
Shall I find my rest?

Hopeless Truth


You kept your roses better than you kept your promises
Those three words spoken can never be the same
and as the winter drew near, the fervor faded with our past
Now the reasons are lost within indifferent eyes
And what vanity taints must be our parting gifts
Disease is forever yet diamonds fade with the past
Three words drifting with the calling of the rain
And as the winter drew the fervor faded at last
Now the reasons are lost within indifferent eyes
And what vanity taints must be our parting gifts for now,
for forever...
We are the hopeless truth
With hatred absolute
We are the hopeless truth

Looking To Nothing


Why do I look to you?
To redeem and fulfill
To starve and deprive
The whole of my will

And yet I look to you
And yet I look to you

One way to bring it down
Listen, for these words are my way
One way to bring it down
Listen, for these words are my way

And yet I look to you

One way to bring it down
Listen, for these words are my way
One way to bring it down
Listen, for these words are my way

Why do I look to you?
In the wake of the turning hour
To hold and sip
Upon all that has soured

And yet I look to you
And yet I look to you

One way to bring it down
Listen, for these words are my way
One way to bring it down
Listen, for these words, for these words are my way

Lust Before The Maggots Conquest


You whose amber eyes are the curse of all loneliness
Who greets life with a kiss of indifference
You whose vanity must guide the garden path
and surely surpass your suffocating pride
Consummate in selfish ways have I lost my will?
Lost sense of self, it is done, I know I must be...
Falling forever when bonds start to sever
I know I'll hope and pray...
The promise of never was my oath forever
I know I hope and pray you've had your fill of
lust before the maggots conquest
Your mark about my neck
A keepsake of your vanity and when swollen fears are forever mine
This is true I know I must be...
Forever touched by the fire
Was it your innocence that kept me at bay?
Time was not mine, I was forever
The wolf at the door shrouded with greed

Maddening Disdain


And it came again, like tears for a long lost friend
Tears that find their rest
Amidst words too sordid to comprehend

And it came bearing gifts
Of pain, frankincense, and her
None had a home here, none but the pain

Feel the fervor growing but the hate is stronger
My heart was whole with you
But the pain was mine, come twisted flowers
Come blistered soul, torturing disdain
And the wholeness that is only found in you
Feel the fervor growing but the hate is stronger
My heart was whole with you
But the pain was mine

Come twisted flowers, come blistered soul
Maddening disdain, and the wholeness that is only found in you
Can't hold it, can't keep it anymore
Can't hold it, can't keep it anymore
Can't feed it anymore

And it came bearing gifts
Of pain, frankincense, and her
None had a home here, none but the pain

And it left once more, alone amidst my words I stood
Uninviting of its presence, this time it's left for good
Feel the fervor growing but the hate is stronger
My heart was whole with you
But the pain was mine

Come twisted flowers, come blistered soul
Torturing disdain
And the wholeness that is only found in you
Feel the fervor growing but the hate is stronger
My heart was whole with you
But the pain was mine
And when it's left forever, a better hand is dealt
And when it's gone forever, only then I can find myself

Oh, The Humanity


A false confession sprayed forth from the mouth of disdain
What words Spoken?
What Love Swayed?
And the mirror broken brings the faith of the damned to me
This is how the lost ones feel in love and in life

Close your legs when vanity's forlorn
Close your legs before I close them for you
Close your legs and in time properly behold...
Oh, The humanity

The heart of love bereaved with hollow eyes
and a whisper waiting for words to fill the lies
A heart's rejection sprang quick and laid claim to me
Where's reason when love's swayed
and the broken mirror brings the faith of the damned to me.

Return


All hail! The phrase of tainted prose
The etchings that cover the rose
Well of thought of you, must surely be denied
For impure are the arts
That are painted in your eyes

Tonight, our lies shall be known, my faithless one
Tonight, our lies shall be known
And I'll await my heart's return

Resting forever in the shadow of a tomb
For a presence ever lost
In the presence of forever
For a presence ever lost

All hail! All hail! The phrase of the tainted prose
And I await, I will *
Denial, because of you *
Well thought of you

Tonight, our lies shall be known, my faithless one
Tonight, our lies shall be known
And I'll await my heart's return

All hail! The phrase of tainted prose
The etchings that cover the rose
Well of thought of you, must surely be denied
For impure are the arts
That are painted in your eyes

Tonight, our lies shall be known
And I'll await my heart's return

Roses On White Lace


I saw you wedding gown
The prettiest dress
I came into the room that night
And made such a mess
In my own way, I lovingly kiss the bride
With your ring in your hand
Your eyes and your mouth open wide
In my eyes
Blood drops look like roses on white lace
They won't wash away
In my mind they're roses on white lace
Straight from the heart
So dead upon the bed
You hurt me in the deepest way
I'm crippled inside
I took your evil skin away
It's all cut and dry
I saw you tonight and carefully took your hand
With some smears on my cheeks
I knew that you would understand
In my eyes
Blood drops look like roses on white lace
They won't wash away
In my mind they're roses on white lace
Straight from the heart
So dead upon the bed, still searching for your head
They're never gonna find your face
It's hidden away
I found a very special place for you used to play
In my own way, I lovingly kiss the bride
With your ring in your hand
Your eyes and your mouth open wide
In my eyes
Blood drops look like roses on white lace
They won't wash away
In my mind they're roses on white lace
Straight from the heart
Blood drops look like roses on white lace
Crimson and sweet, stained on the sheet
Roses on white lace, pretty in red, dripping and wet
Roses on white lace, spilled on the walls, dark in the hall

Seven Whispers Fell Silent


Seven whispers silent
On scathing winds the seven whistlers tune
Seven cries, blinded eyes
Bade the choke on the night
Beneath the stare of a cold and blood-dimmed moon

Alaster, avenging one
Guide my path
Live in me, exist to be
The festering wounds upon the savior's wrists
Calculating the murderous plot for the dozen to fall

The seven shall sleep forever
Unhallowed graves left unmarked
Five soon to join them
And with their blood anoint them
Evident the feebleness of dog
???????

Seven whispers silent
On scathing winds the seven whistlers tune
Seven cries, blinded eyes
Bade the choke on the night
Beneath the stare of a cold and blood-dimmed moon

Alaster, avenging one
Guide my path
Sacrifice, ??????
The festering wounds upon the savior's wrists
Calculating the murderous plot for the dozen to fall

The Face Of My Innocence


After the reasons came and went, and swept across
The face of my innocence, I was lost.

To know your face, and your true shade
To feel your lips, and to be bade
To praise the night, to praise my unknown faith
Must I sure find a way? To infest the wound
Infest the wound

Inside the wound, that draws me near
And cries my name, and feeds my presence
I am here!

To know your face, and your true shade
To hide here, in this place

I long for one piece with
I cry for my peace is in you

Inside the wound I hope to find
The essence and presence of you
Inside the wound I hope to learn
The art of fucking you

Inside the wound I hope to find
The essence and presence of you
Inside the wound I hope to learn
The art of fucking you

After the reasons came and went, and swept across
The face of my innocence, I was lost
Inside the wound, that draws me near
And cries my name, and feeds my presence
I am here!

To know your face, and your true shade
To feel the lips, and to be bade
To know your face, and your true shade
To hide in here, in this place

I long for one piece with
I cry for my peace is in you

The Marriage Bed


My reverence for you is gone, stand alone and be counted
My time with you was like time alone in a grave
Stand apart or unite in regret
To the west of god
Passion alone in the must
I am the wolf at your door
I am the wounds on your wrists
Vengeance is the marriage bed
I cower towards you in wonder
Was it your emptiness that pushed me away
or your hatred that drew me near?

The Promise Of Never


To celebrate the guilt (the lies of whispering shadows)
And tattoo their words upon your ever-scarring flesh.
(Beaten, diseased, follow)
To make believes there is no guilty, to wield the liar's dagger,
And clasp his hand to celebrate the countless unborn bastards.
To praise the guilt some more, in the eyes of the fallen.
Embracing the swine, this foreplay strangulation.
(Beaten, diseased, hollow)
Though your disease is ever mine, I give you diamonds.
And in an act to seal the oath, I gave you roses, be careful of the fucking thorns.
In your eyes I saw the end, and these were your words, the promise of never.
Still in denial of the fact that our feeling dissolve.
I took your evil skin away with the blade of the liar's dagger,
And clasped your hand to celebrate your vile unborn bastard.

The Sadistic Motives Behind Bereavement


I'm so sorry to hear of your bitter loss

I know my words can only offer but so much comfort for you
Just know that I am here to ease your lonely feelings
To fill this time of grieving and remind you it's your fault
Oh, it's you fault
Oh, it's your fault for not caring
Oh, it's your fault for not knowing that he'd try again

And again, these words can only offer
But so much comfort for you

(Now here's where I should say that "he's in a better place"
but on the day he died, I could have sworn)

And there came the strangest sound
It was as if the whole of heaven came crumbling fucking down!

His last words shall shine in truthfulness
"I hate you all!", scattered with his ashes upon your guilt. Your guilt.

His last words shall shine in truthfulness
"I hate you all!", scattered with his ashes upon your guilt. Your guilt.

I know you must have done all that you could do
To prevent this event but I blame this on you
Oh, it's you fault
Oh, it's your fault for not caring
Oh, it's your fault for not knowing that he'd try again. Would try again.

But again, these words can only offer
But so much comfort for you.

The Things You Said


I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
But they know me better than that
They know me better than that
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
I never denied them

I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
How can a view become so twisted
How can a view become so twisted
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
You tried them

I get so carried away
You brought me down to earth
I thought we had something precious
Now I know what it's worth

I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I heard it from my friends
About the things you said
I've never felt so disappointed
Never felt so disappointed
They know my weaknesses
I never tried to hide them
They know my weaknesses
Thought that you liked them

They know me better than that

United In Regret


Courting with pain, the dirtiest whore
I laid my lips on the filthiest swine
Years later I'm still sipping
On the drippings of your spilt wine
Standing west of God
We are United In Regret
Your blemishes must never fade
like portraits where ink and skin meet
Standing west of God
We are United In Regret

Wholly Night


As the moon creeps forth to pierce the clouds
And it's lights embraced by a single howl
This graveyard dream was brought to life
With the breath of jealous winds
Shackled, bound, torched by the light
A thousand angels torn from flight
Longing for heaven's dark cursed
With I to guide the Cain-drawn hearse

This hate within its eyes, for a faith that often lies
From tears of mourning cries be torn
The beast is born wholly of night

Anticipation of the madness to come
Lowly angel flesh undone
Longing for heaven's dark curse
With I to guide the Cain-drawn hearse

A wielder of sickness marching on
A flame in the name of the blackest dawn
Hear my call, your fate my curse shall befall

And a scream was thrown into the night
A bloody shade to stain pure white
Of the dark dreams and lifeless eyes
Shall be un-divine
And a scream was thrown into the night
A bloody shade to stain pure white
And the one crawls nearer to their cries
To feast the beast born wholly of night

Shackled, bound, torched by the light
A thousand angels torn from flight
Longing for heaven's dark cursed
With I to guide the Cain-drawn hearse

This hate within its eyes, for a faith that often lies
From tears of mourning cries be torn
The beast is born wholly of night

A wielder of sickness marching on
A flame in the name of the blackest dawn
Hear my call, your fate my curse shall befall

Worship Depraved


Stained by the wine
A celebration guilt in ordinary time
Profaneness enshrine, the abode of the blessed
Abode of the blessed
And we shall be the bearers
Of the untainted dead
Darkness, that descends for all time

Let Mary sleep forever
Sordid dreams of lust be bound
???
Once faithful followers scream
"Set Barabbas free!"

The chilling chants of the carcass choir
Rosaries inverted and strung upon the razor wire
Scream out, and proudly wear the mark
We, the bearers of the untainted dark

So stain the cloth forever
Sordid dreams of lust be bound
????
Commence the ceremony
For at dusk we shall worship depraved
