Resumption

Life and death.
Through cycles, flesh created.
Offered as ring,
a tribute to a love unending.
Separated,
forever far and longing.
Edge of a time,
when the moon and sun were created.

Void
08:35
|

|
Deep breach in that no colours could fill.
Drawning me near to feel it's heart beating.
Obsessed to heal the ignorance we fear.
Lingering within.
Innefable, this knot inside my throat.
My guts are aching as I look underneath.
I lost myself in the seabed.
I contemplate, admire and yearn.
Fascination for what's to come.
Is this love? From far and wide.
Far and wide.
Withering space between reality.
We let go of our earthly tethers.
Becoming one.
I'm sinking in.
Down the ocean.
And I'm...
Becoming one with nature.
Embrace the void and ignite our prayers.
Merging ourselves, and our souls intertwine.
Is the stench of love drifting astray.
I'm sinking in.
Down the abyss.
In the void all colours fade away.
Take my soul and we will abide in pain.
Desires within the void.
Forever.

Pale

Another night have passed, the moon is finally sleeping.
Still, my eyes aren't closed.
Slumber cannot seem to tempt me.
Fire burns through the windows, hitting our weary pupils.
Seasons have passed with questions unanswered.
Caged within pale sheets. So pale ; her porcelain skin.
Hollow faces, micro-analyzing.
Sensation, no more, nerves decaying.
Malign.
Hopelessness makes men believe in strange things.
A life once lived may change in a few seconds.
Sleepless, clueless, shearch for every breath.
Paranoia sinking in.
Still no relief for the blame instilled.
Is she here because of me?
How terrorizing is the concept of death?
How terrorizing is the lack of rest?
How terrorizing is the concept of pain?
Oh how terrorizing? I'd trade my life.
For your's to keep endlessly
For my love to be at peace.
For your limbs to feel and for your maladie to die.
I'd trade my life.
Take me.
Fever, burning, pale skin.

Hands of Loss
05:46
|
|||
|
Let go, eyes closed, slowly fading sound of hope.
Step by step, light ahead.
Distant memories hold our hands.
Fading ache, bones deep.
Let us fall asleep.
Freezing wind and reveries.
Falling out of pain.
Sterile bricks dissolving.
Narrow hallway, shaping.
Heartbeats, drawning me.
As my own quickly raised.
Further in, forgetting our burden.
Beyond life, we're forever breathing.
Held my hands, dragging me out of those pale sheets.
Through her smile whispering.
"Please wake up my love."
In her eyes reflecting, the face of Abhorrence.
Blurring paths, opened eyes,
her's stayed closed that night.
"Please wake up..."
I've failed my vows.
I promised. I promised.
An autumn night, when she took,
took the hands of death.

Nothing anymore, the disturbance of my soul.
Melting clouds, floods are engulfing the colds.
Cracking under blooming trees.
Seeping through the darkened sky.
Breathing in the petrichor.
Deafening psidurism.
I can't sleep eat or move.
I can't seem to self soothe.
Under the heaviest of rain, please leave me alone.
Trapped in the brightest of light.
Trapped in this dissolving mind.
Burning like hell but I can't close my eyes.
I'm scared to die in my dreams.
To see her and one again leave.
Waking up to my haunting thoughts.
Remembering again my lost life.
Every drop is overwhelming.
Heaviness, is overwhelming.
I'm overwhelmed by this veil of grey.
I only see and feel, heaviness of the pouring...
I can't feel joy In this state of mind.
Heaviness of the pouring sky.
It's overwhelming.

Throes of Abhorrence
05:49
|
|||
|
Tremor and in panic, I can feel this oh cold fear
seeking possession of my dreams, molded by the putrid hands of Abhorrence.
Running down my spine ; throes of Abhorrence.
I can't close my eyes.
It won't detain me.
Faster than my bloodstream, it is traveling through my being.
Swallowing me, isolated in this dark cell.
Lurking and gazing, phobia dissecting me.
Numbing sensation afflicted. This intense feeling of hate runs through my veins.
Over and over, this nightmare will never end.
The fear and terror are ingrained into my every nerves.
Molding me.
Infecting me.
Abhorrence reign
Abhorrence infecting me.
Is the monster really there?
Is this all just in my head?
Am I just going insane?
Withered.
All the walls are caved in.
Brick by brick burying me.
Am I going insane?
Contorted mind.
Yes we are going insane.
Break our body then you shall break free.

Skinless
06:15
|

|
As I constantly breathe hate towards the deposed of this race,
I can't help but feel shame.
My deepest thoughts bloom out of my unnatural skin,
creating crimson rivers.
Discredit, a shamefull gaze vacillating over my head.
Oscillating like a sharpened blade, forming a narrow shade.
Spitting on the paradigm of human nature.
Rejecting what is to be man.
I can't control my primal need.
Make them suffer.
Animal suffered in silence,
In the heart of his vainglory.
Slowly losing any sense of the meaning of identity.
I introduced reign of terror, preys and predator.
I harvest hate and anger, affliction and horror.
Skinless, I'm a skinless beast.
Skinless lost all trait of a human being.

Cessation
07:05
|
|||
|
I can't get it out of my head, eternal rest.
Reliving loss every time an end's impending.
Ripping open old wounds of mine, new skin sewed over my exposed flesh.
For her, a lifetime waiting.
Bringer of all seasons.
In death, a gift of grandeur.
Aspiring to mend one life.
Through the debris of their souls, those bodies, torn, gutted.
Treasure of love, I kept safe, as death once promised.
Bearer of cessation, in time, reaching.
Alter past, become one with life.
Bring us back
Fear me.
Abhorre me.
I'll turn back time.
Searching through pain and grief.
I'll create life.
Birthing.
Resurrecting.
Cessation,
I'm the bearer of cessation.
As I weep, aching and waning.
As you sleep, my hands softly reaching.
As we weep, infinity felt like years.
"Please stay here.
I thought you could never leave.
Please stay here.
My love please remain with me.
Stay with me.
I dreamt I would see you breathe.
Don't leave me.
Please just come back to me..."

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!
