Necronomicon 04:22
lyrics
buy track
The essence of life still haunting the flame of the dead Suspended in equilibrium, hunger for truth With the loss of the lustre surrounding the mortal shell Another entry inscribed to the book of dead names A flurry of visions cast on a sea of desire Return to revolve with the bones of a hatred profound Too late to dictate or revise all demise follow through A further entry inscribed in the book of dead names When the fragments collate for the summoned debate that we fear With the call of Cthulhu they rise from the depths of the earth Together the plagues of catastrophe speaks every blame The first to rehearse every curse in the book of dead names The essence of life still haunting the flame of the dead Suspended in equilibrium, hunger for truth With the loss of the lustre surrounding the mortal shell Another entry inscribed to the book of dead names

Bizarre Ritual 03:15
lyrics

Call the name unto me Whispers god - like treason Callous as the moon River like the blood Burn into my ashes Call my fear to you Whispers dreams like reason Cut away my bitter tongue Candle throw the shadow Incense feed the spirit Of all the understanding Light remains with heat Symbol shines behind me Reason without truth Clear water shallow Taste the bitter scent of heaven All the tears I've shed All the themes I've taken Make my soul awaken Stolen from the dead Take the dancing flame and Cup the flowing wine Sweat like diamonds glistens Kiss the cold and naked steel Chant the hallowed title Loving all that's hated Fear will remain sacred So quake behind the mask Laughter kills the silence Steel kills the laughter Though torches light the hallway The path ahead is dark and still Bitter taste the cut Tongue that whispers reason Dreams of fear for you Call the flame to ashes Blood that stains the river Moon that lights the season Callous whispers god-like Naming me unto the call

Hard Against the Parapet 04:35
lyrics
buy track
One safe trip my cautions play One less trust my feelings betray Everything before my eyes I cannot help but despise Take my blood my lifeless vein Take my worn out spleen Take my flesh My worthless carcass But give me back my dream Embrace the air, this chilling dissident Puppet strings severed in one swift sentiment Lipstick stained sensual cigarette Face pressed hard against the parapet Cursed and prophesied My sad and sorry slow demise Take my blood my lifeless vein Take my worn out spleen Take my flesh my worthless carcass But give me back my dream I have to swallow vertigo Fractured reasoning could only know If this depth of pain could lessen desire This caustic penance I will quickly tire The sweetest poignant compromise that I despise

Method in My Madness (Piano) 03:06
lyrics
buy track
She cuts off the heads of flowers Saves the stems for a rainy day in June And her words still cloud my view I caught her once or twice Rhyming in riddles and in a way it was sweet Just to hear her pretty voice Singing method in my madness Method in my madness Method in my madness is what she swore She reads from Samuel Coleridge Quotes the verse to a phantom audience How her smile could move my soul And even now I hear A distant echo that rings in my ears And I swear I can hear her pretty voice Singing method in my madness Method in my madness, she said Method in my madness was what she swore

Honey 04:21
lyrics
buy track
For the chance you turn away Taking leave of your new found senses A risk you need to take Lured away under false pretenses Written in your face Caught between a rock and a hard place Analyse this mystery Re-define your history Confiding in a new found friend Throwing caution to the wind Methadone like honey yields a satisfying dream Hungry fools will reach out for the riches never seen Between the long and shorter sighted, slighted Slipped away again Putrefied and then distilled Temptation for the weaker willed To pace the race; adrenalin Too late to fake refrain Echo forming patterns Form a matrix maze of hexagons Interlocked in chemistry And slipped away again Honey taps into the hidden senses Rots the core of the innermost defences Motion through a liquid floor Concentric circles open for Demands and desperation Cries just a second taste An axe to crack the social mould A market place for selling souls Supplies surprise behind the eyes And pockets lined with gold Victims without circumstance Emerging from a lifeless trance Beleaguered from the multitude Stripped of all but pride Stumble, fall reach up and crawl Hands are scratching at the wall The rotting stench of fallen flesh Of all that's gone before Honey taps into the hidden senses Rots the core of the last defences Eats away at the very essence Total mass decay

Citadel 04:31
lyrics

I could be lost here forever Caught between you and indecision This place is a citadel against the hoards of violent faces But yours is more deadly than hell No one can hear my distress call Invisible to the outside world Like teeth that could tear through my tear soaked tortured flesh I fear I'm resigned to my fate Desperate plans for desperate moments Like how to escape this inquisition Fabricated undisputable evidence Guilt by association my only crime

Flowers in Vain 02:43
lyrics

The curtain falls Invites me in He makes his mark Upon my skin I only want to help Only want to care I only want to help I only want to care His venom races Through my vein A plea for madness And sickness fain I only want to help Only want to care I only want to help I only want to care And all it seems Is left inside Soul submission Bound and tied I only want to help Only want to care I only want to help I only want to care

The Same Mistakes 03:40
lyrics
buy track
I read the signals as before The feeling sickens me once more How can I turn a blind eye? How can I let this pass me by? Under scented scarlet skies Pollen clouds are forming We can't tell what fate may bring When fortune bears no warning There are fools who build their walls so high They shut out all the sunlight The iciest part of the cynical heart Can only give in to the fight I spread my soul across the floor Expose my weaknesses once more I take the fruit - embrace the pain I make the same mistakes again Under scented scarlet skies Pollen clouds are forming We can't tell what fate may bring When fortune bears no warning There are fools who build their walls so high They shut out all the sunlight The iciest part of the cynical heart Can only give in to the fight Under scented scarlet skies Pollen clouds are forming We can't wait for the perfect bait Keep ignoring natures calling Jaded thoughts that run a mockery of sorts Scare away the fainter hearted To pass on by this sacred opportunity Beaten before they try Under scented scarlet skies Pollen clouds are forming We can't tell what fate may bring Fortune bears no warning There are fools who build their walls so high That they shut out all the sunlight The iciest part of the cynical heart Can only give in to the fight

Choked 05:05
lyrics

He was there just hanging on Like me or you or anyone would do And the night he fell upon his sword I could have sworn I felt the very same blade Pierce my soul Choked, cut to the bone Choked, cut down Life goes on as millions witness Brothers and their sisters pass away They die for nothing less than love In our straight-laced and narrow-minded world Choked, cut to the bone Choked, cut down Children bite their tongues and whisper Promises they know they'll never keep So quick to judge and swift to blame When loving someone now Will never be the same, never be the same Choked, cut to the bone Choked, cut down

Hunger and The Hurting 03:53

Console yourself in me I'll stay right by your side I'll keep you warm and dry 'Till the evening grows long I would lick your bleeding wounds I will mop your fevered brow I would feed you on my wine One more time Nothing can disguise The hurting here inside The edges fray away When I see you in this way See you in this way See you in this way See you in this way There is healing in my hand And I give it all to you I want to take away the pain To make you love again I would lick your bleeding wounds I would mop your fevered brow I would feed you on my wine One last time Nothing can disguise The hurting here inside The edges fray away When I see you in this way See you in this way See you in this way See you in this way

Twilight 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Twilight for the living Twilights for the brave Must I face each living day alone? Must I walk this empty place alone? To touch the things that once touched you Taste faint traces of your perfume Like a ghost you haunt my world and I welcome you Twilight for the living But twilight's for the brave As I reach inside your wardrobe Just to hold your favourite satin dress A faded picture stained with your lipstick Betrays an infidelity never known And I die a thousand times I die And I die a thousand times how I die Because twilight’s for the living And twilight’s for the brave For the brave For the brave And this world never meant to lose your soul And my world is not a world without your soul
