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
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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

about

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. ... more
