Raise my dagger Above the altar Prepare the rituals of the sacred void Chant the rites Bound to Khaos As I bestow myself upon the progenitor The fallacies of deities Controlling me I never trusted any of you I confront what lies beyond The forged gods The essence of exinstance This life is just a paradox Against all odds Coincidental creation The chemistry is clear to me As far as I believe The only god I see is me Candles lit To read the verses They echo through the dark halls On the ground Where the dust dwells This is my purpose now, I descent from soil Down I go To escape the dreams of man Down below Where the darkness hides me from you You try to see the world in symmetry Believe in order as the law Things left unexplained are miracles Interventions of divinity This world's been torn apart by hate and greed Yet you fail to reason why you forgot that you're a particle In this universal turbulence Let me ponder Dissociate I chose the hermit life To submit to my maker Isolated In my abode I pray for none but my own Tormented soul This life is just a paradox Against all odds Coincidental creation The chemistry is clear to me As far as I believe The only god I see is me Created In the abyss Where khaos solely dwells The birth of creation

You breathe in your life as I slip away, will I bend. I am your rebirth, I am your decay, will I break. I crawl through the maze of existence, consistently subjected to the everlasting demand for structure. I was not designed, nor did I create I simply am, within the boundaries of Chaos I'm bound at birth until the day you die serving as a counter for a period where you pass by shaped by man, desired to be measurable. The light breaches over the mountains Look, it's a brand new day It gives you a vast perception of time As it cycles repeatedly This is the way everything works In the smallest of galaxies But these thoughts are too shallow for my taste In this universe I am a god I am a god You breathe in your life As I slip away Will I bend I am your rebirth I am your decay Will I break Encased into a unit I become this human tool But I belong Far beyond humanity I reach every inch of space As I'm forever limitless. I heal all wounds - I bring you death In this continuum Patience is mine - Yet I run out But I will never forget You count the days - I count the stars I will never end The eye in time - The eye in me I am the entity of time.

In the darkest of days We ravished through the haze The memories did fade But the pain remained We lived with the dead Survived while others bled The burdens of the past Parted us at last An ocean of tears We cried for many years We could've had it all But we tore it all apart The fire's still alive But we could never burn the sea Where shores dissolve to skies The endless distance kills me Theses wounds can never heal Life now seems surreal Emotions cold as stone Like a ghost I walk alone But I am not ashamed This bear could not be tamed At least I can be blessed That I've had the best of you The fire's still alive But we could never burn the sea Where shores dissolve to skies The endless distance kills me And now I hear your cries The endless distance calls me Remnants of the past These ruins made to last I can't resist your call We could´ve had it all Everything for us Everyone on their own We for one another We should've had it all And now I hear your cries In the endless distance Now I know We perished in bliss Now I know The suffocating kiss And I know We brought out the worst Now I know This distance is a curse Now I know This life of emptiness Now I know Consistent nothingness And I know This bearable pain I´ll never know Will we ever meet again I´ll never know

Eris 07:33
...We gathered for the death of the sun Killed by what we thought was a friend But we heard the end of the sinners Bringer of death show us the light... A goddess of fear Fear for the unknown Darkness binds us all within her realm Goddess! Bring us the head of the serpent Bring us the head of the one Who betrayed us so deeply The fortune of the damned is cursed Shaking vigorously We see an aura of light The warm rays of your existence - fading away We are trapped within Your dark sensual fabric Immortal souls that are bound To suffer for eternity Vibrations of the unknown Shake the surface of the moon Distinct sound of void Is surely closing in The fortune of the damned is cursed Shaking vigorously We see an aura of light The warm rays of your existence - fading away We are trapped within Your dark sensual fabric Immortal souls that are bound To suffer for eternity The fortune of the damned is cursed ...Remaining in the void lies the birth of chaos We keep searching and hoping we will find her again Show us the inner meaning of life For I know we will triumph all...
