Lyrics:
Within the fortress, deceased memories
The corpses rot, no need for an elegy
I’ve seen this place a thousand times maybe more
Colour is now fading from the past, forgot who I was before
Lost faith in a life already wayward
Blind lead the blind in search of something real
Must make a friend of the god, the god of death
The only certain for us all, since our first breath
This moment fleeting, so much yet still to come
A silent greeting waits for us when we’re done
Fear not what lurks in shadows beyond
Hell is empty and all the devils are here
Lost faith in a world forever cursed
Won’t waste my time in search of answers unfound
Must make amends with myself, the god of death
Worship unto me, for I hold the key
Look in my eyes, deceiver
I know the poisoned mind your skull conceals
I’ll smash apart, and search through the mess
Try to find some sign of life, some intelligence
I find nothing, the tomb is empty
So vacuous are the halls of your mind, a solitary pin drop echoes
for eternity
Endless, dissonant, distorted, feedback loop
Against all odds, I find my way
You Just want me dead
Killing my fire within
You just wish I’d end
Killing my soul that’s within
No compass,
With stridence with we live by our own guidance
Storms pass, subsidence
But I, I will remain
I live my life by dead reckoning
