Vanishing Woods
05:29

Creation of mankind, destruction of everything
The green life that once prevailed…
Was turned into dust and soil
To spread the poison, to shatter all hopes
Self-destruction, true nature of mankind
Cities lying in dust, colors fading away
Rivers flowing in a stream…
Of waste and poison
Into the bloodstained sea
To spread the poison, to shatter all hopes
Self-destruction, true nature of mankind
The ancient woods
Vanishing into oblivion
The winds of freedom
Are fading eternally
The flowering meadows wither away
As time unfolds that we share the same fate

Under The Weeping Willow
08:45

All I need is a little more, I don't know how to let you go
A little more , a little more, this madness can't be real
Motionless she is lying on her bed
Looking ahead into the future void
Silent tears running down her face
Struggling to accept her reality
Her beauty faded day by day
Like a swan she was - so precious and pure
All I need is a little more, I don't know how to let you go
A little more, a little more, this madness can't be real
By the time she embraced her fate
She bid farewell with her last breath
In peace she goes - in peace she goes
Leaving my world fallen apart
A hollow reflection has remained, her life is coming to an end
Nothing out there could ever fill the void
Your death will leave in my heart
Oppressive darkness blinding my soul
I cannot see nor can I feel
Under the weeping willow - I sit paralized
Staring into nothingness
Under the weeping willow - I will put myself to sleep
Trying to remember your face
All I need is a little more, I don't know how to let you go
A little more, a little more, this madness can't be real

Last Glance Of The Sun
06:20

Take a last glance of the sun
Before the sunset will darken your world
This bitter feeling, from joy to sorrow
The world keeps bleeding and no one seems to care
This life was taken away, how can I ease the pain?
Dark times will last eternally
The sun will never rise again
All these lives were laid to waste
In a pointless battle
It seems that it is our fate
To surrender to insanity
Our prayers were refused
In an oath to the blind
An ode to the canting ones
We’re Slowly losing our conscious mind
The stones of remembrance
Will never reconstruct
The happiness we once knew
That was forever turned to dust
A deceitful beauty persuades the hopeless,
Becomes their new duty
Where our freedom comes to an end
This life was taken away, how can I ease the pain?
Dark times will last eternally
The sun will never rise again

The Servant
05:33
|
|||
A shattered kingdom and treasures of the past
A pervasive sickness that will forever last
The crown of oppression, desperation and anger
Outrageous injustice, when will it ever end?
Look at me - I am the servant
I was born - To starve and suffer
Look at me – You greedy bastard
Follow me - Into the void
In denial you blame the discouraged ones
You will never recognize the disease you created
You take for granted what I will never have
These broken structures fed by selfishness
The struggle for power, the venom you spread,
Is wiping out the chance I never had
You were born into power, control and domination
Destroyed the ruins of despair
You forged your own kingdom of slavery and corruption
Wiped out the soul of man
Look at me - I am the servant
I was born - To starve and suffer
Look at me – You greedy bastard
Follow me - Into the void
In denial you blame the discouraged ones
You will never recognize the disease you created

A Poem Of The End
05:14
|
|

Cheerless eyes stare to the sky
Where gloomy clouds swallow the blue
As darkness feeds upon our guilt
A mighty shade infolds the light
Gives way to the endless night
Ashes fall out of these clouds
Cover everything with oppressive gray
Paralyzed we watch our end
So many failures we have caused
Our rescue comes too late
Unconcerned we step to our graves
A funeral no one attends
No priest will ever read the holy words
No mourners will ever cry in pouring rain
Cheerless eyes stare to the sky
Where gloomy clouds cover the stars
Hope burns in the flames of despair
We fade away before the sun arises
Unconcerned we step to our graves
A funeral no one attends
No priest will ever read the holy words
No mourners will ever cry in pouring rain
Our ship is tossed in a storm
Overcome by the aftermath
I will close my eyes forever now
To miss the point we overturn

Walking Dead
07:34

Rivers are running dry
Memories are fading away
Sickness running through my veins
No one will remember my name
Am I still alive? Am I still breathing?
My mind is vanishing
Vanishing into the grey
So that I can’t feel anything
Nothing will stop this decay
Release me from this endless pain
All efforts were in vain
I am a walking dead, so just take me away
Put an end to this nightmare, this is my last farewell
Bury me, bury me, bury me
Deep inside the woods
Blend the traces of my misery
Savor the moment
Before the wave crashes over you
I am a walking dead, so just take me away
Put an end to this nightmare, this is my last farewell
Unfold your wings
Let the winds carry you
Find the strength to carry on
Before death takes you away forever
I am a walking dead, so just take me away
Put an end to this nightmare, this is my last farewell

The Final Regret
05:02
|
|

Here we are beyond the line
Cannot return - only await
Our fate is set – there’s no return
So many failures we have caused
With blinded eyes we flailed around
Slaughtered all - no asking why
Every means we raped to fight
Emblazed all soil with raging hate
Cheerless eyes stare to a sky
Man-made god refused to work
This coffin was built to measure
Fluffy pillows placed inside
Comfortably we’ll lie thereon
A funeral no one attends
Cheerless eyes stare to a sky
Man-made god refused to work
Blinding darkness setting down
A forlorn future lies ahead
Cold soil slowly trickles down
Covers this wooden upper shell
Our sins lie entombed with us
To endlessly grind up rotting flesh

A World Falling Apart
07:39
|
|
||
Bleeding bodies lying scattered on the ground
Houses crumbling in the hail of hostile bombs
People running through the streets trying to hide
Children crying, mothers dying – no chance to run away
Can you smell the scent of death?
Can you feel their souls fading away?
Burning cities enlighten the night sky
Painful screams echo through their broken homes
Nothing left to build new hopes upon
Their lives and dreams all blown away with just one hit
How can you keep on living after all you’ve caused?
How can you sleep in spite of all the people you have killed?
Do you ever hear the survivors cry?
Mourning the death of their beloved
All the innocent lives ended – but why?
Cause you never care about the fate of those who died
All that’s left is despair – but why?
Tell me why you started this war yet there’s so much to live for
You shattered everything they had in life
Piece by piece their world is falling apart
You had the chance to stop but took your choice
You don’t see the value of human life
Regardless of the futures you destroyed
How can you act the innocent and smile
How can you keep on living after all you’ve caused?
How can you sleep in spite of all the people you have killed?
Do you ever hear the survivors cry?
Mourning the death of their beloved
All the innocent lives ended – but why?
Cause you never care about the fate of those who died
All that’s left is despair – but why?
Tell me why you started this war yet there’s so much to live for

The Hypocrite
05:06

|

Infect the world
Spread your lies
Poison man’s thoughts
Impose your will
Pretend to care
Act like you help
As if you would make
This world a better place
You follow the darkness in your heart
Thinking your deeds were of a saint
But all you care for is yourself
Spreading the darkness in your soul
Selfishness
Your only impulse
Corruption and intrigues
Betraying what you once stood for
You follow the darkness in your heart
Thinking your deeds were of a saint
But all you care for is yourself
Spreading the darkness in your soul

Halls of Oblivion Stuttgart, Germany
Unlike their name might suggest; Halls of Oblivion will stick in one’s memory.
Deep in the
gloomy "halls of oblivion", a tender melody and a whispered word suddenly become a roaring composition with brutal riffs and heavy words. Merciless and honest, the depths of the human soul are awaiting the listener within fictional walls.
