Arsis

Lugosi's child bears his namesake Within in this monument we hide from shame, from uncontrolled emotions and untold atrocities Be enlightened lonely angel We're forever with you And the blind one came in the likeness of you And the blind one came to make timel...

In denial of the thoughts that our feelings dissolve. Your words were always chosen wisely, disguising all intent. Amidst the poetry, I thought I heard you say, "Let's make a deal, a diamond for disease..." Then the promise of never was as embracing as the act...

[Solo: Knight] What life lies beneath this thoughtless mass? What dreams could be there? What vengeful screams lifted from a severed tongue? Could halt failure's progress? A quest for pure beliefs, leading us to blindness and silence, and so we live dark and...

Rock. You look to me with your resurrection eyes. A curse of truth that is longing for disguise. Now covered in scars unveiled by vanity. The bloody mirror's shattered, it's left it's mark on me. A march for the sick, starving for control. To the bastard's b...

The absolute end of the world, in life, transparent A pulse keeping time with the dark Cruelty will now inherit Like the breath and the hex of the sorceress The crosses turn Towards the grave and the shade to coalesce With art of ill-turn The one bound...

Once I walked with faith I found her foul and spat her out My absinthian guest, if only your charm were as deep as your flesh One night I walked with beauty I found her bitter and I insulted her Oh witches, oh beasts I have entrusted my treasure to thee...

[Music and lyrics by James Malone] [Lead Theme: James] The dreams of others Wither by light of day When the truth's uncovered You will find me wasting away A dark curse upon me Flesh bound to the whipping post Hunted and haunted Stalked by nostalgia the mem...

I am the one, the fallen bastard son I'll step inside you, I feel your lips And seize your flesh, to penetrate the wound And your screams shall be dreams Of the graceless one's rebirth Forever I have lost the way To the flesh that was mine today I left my tr...

Being right never felt so wrong... We must deceive to belong. Now I believe being right never felt so... wrong. We were to face the truth, when the screams of the lie were absolute. Romance this pain, Mourn my loss. Cry my name, You carved my cross... To bea...

Faster, Faster! Fervor or fright? These are the trappings of a jealous plight. When adoration is never enough I could not find the words, I was choked up. I never said I was free of sin but I am choking on the sand you buried your head in. I would take all th...

All that I know, erased by lies That have eaten my memories away I walk words towards fate Step by step Closer to cold The rise of emptiness Closer to cold Guilt unites with regret I have taken starvation As my one and only bride Chosen to live life as a dis...

Dead as the widowing curse of the knife Dead as the bloodless stare Dead as the ashen praying for life Dead as the fatal air Screaming the rite in spite of the end, unhallowed In spectral decay condemned, from below... below Sometimes they breath, someti...

To watch and wait in whispers Within the scald of blisters Once interned in the dust below The vengeful one has risen, cold Entranced and frozen by these eyes His glare alone could drive the nails and crucify The snare of flesh confining souls from seed...

Forget for a moment The cold and weakest will. Hold on to the wounds That fester still. Denied penance This is vengeance With frozen words and empty eyes To haunt our lies Now, six coffins wide With frozen word and empty eyes To haunt our lies Bound to this...

Sensations, curse me and my ways Force-feed me blind on empty days Today, my faith was lost again A grave was dug to mourn its loss And in this grave I keep my friends Loneliness, impure urges And the pain that only I can bring A mouthful of dust and guilt A...

We have stormed creation And entered the realm of this dimension Where screams bring meaning to the night Where dogma is found and written in fright The piercing of our cries will be timeless Accursed with eyes that number three The touch of death is not...

Engulfed within somnolence Submerged within chimera In isolation I wander To the place of my sepulcher The beauty of oblivion Obstructing my path Elegant yet perverse To follow that before me So blindly I durst Visions of all I desire came These gifts I coul...

Take hold and feel the flames that we control, This hell can feed our shame and cleanse the soul And though I choose to walk this path And face the plague of reason’s wrath The graven songs and tortured words Of a thousand liars shall be my bible The art of...

So, the sight has finally left us with dreams of the failing light. Born again, beneath ashen cloud and the restless lies betrothed, I curse this winter. And my nightmares become your dreams, come blindness, stealing grief. On failing winds of hopeless greed...

[Solo: Knight] [Solo: Malone] Your lowering breath reeks of penance, with blinded eyes and severed tongue. Your foulest words greet the knowledge, with Denial's only son. We are the ones who've chosen silence, Whose blinded eyes can see the truth. We are the...

From the dismal shore a full, abandoned light To lead us to refuge or to our burial Sight was foul and most unkind The mist a vengeful phantom To send us howling to the deadly fathoms The mortal greed of their flock Our fate, a vessel To be impaled upo...

Lets rock! Now the promise of never is replaced with half-hearted lies. Sworn to kill with this diamond will and scarlet painted eyes. Forced to rock! Rebellion, Rebellion. In the name of Devil Starve. To embrace our sins with all we are. In the name of Sat...

Penance for this breath of black betrayal. Stoic, famished guard the walls of this scarlet temple. Awaits to hear the sound of armies marching underground and the screams of failures conquest. A wish to waste and rise alone with only the wolves i call my own....

And blood becomes the light, so conducts the night Cold Morta came howling Marking the curse with a five-pointed star Raw grave of torment Screaming now at the moons' dolor We're feeding on the dead A vital lust, longing for blood This wrath born to raz...

We mourn the pale and listless It’s half past corpse o’clock Praise the sick, hail the twisted Sell your soul it’s time to rock Let’s celebrate our life’s failures That we are forced to repeat Breed the bastard despite the knowledge That with flesh comes dece...

When I surrendered, became what I am not. A false facade of splendor, led me here to rot. On your back you showed what you were worth. And that lie spoke a thousand words. Where is your righteousness? Just point your finger backwards. Where is the splendor a...

HELL SWORN" Tonight you breathe, Tonight you breathe while they cannot. In the shadows to grieve Yet swaying in time to the croon of eternal rot. Aroused from slumber They hunger to devour you. From moon to moon and night to night Their souls are g...

There was a man so cold, no life was in his eyes He had a look so hard, I'd never seen him smile I could've told you then, you'd heard it all before And now you're in suspense, you'll have to wait for more In all those mysteries you're taken by surprise...

You kept your roses better than you kept your promises Those three words spoken can never be the same and as the winter drew near, the fervor faded with our past Now the reasons are lost within indifferent eyes And what vanity taints must be our parting gifts...

My fear was filling the night, frozen tongues screaming for the light. A whisper on my breath, my faith is out of sight, forever. Forever is what we were told, but the oath is withered. The vows are all broken, and cursed is my name. I hear yours spoken, I sh...

Vanity found a home in heart of your embrace Once was lost is mine again in the paleness of your eyes Vanity tainted all of your lonely face Indifference was welcoming in and fervor laid to fucking waste Once was lost is now mine again Love found tarnished in...

I will end this fight tonight. Revenge is what I have in mind. With these words, my words, just let it be known I will haunt you wherever you go. Let me be the one all lovers despise, the one whose bane you cannot disguise. So it is done and forever mine, thi...

Why do I look to you? To redeem and fulfill To starve and deprive The whole of my will And yet I look to you One way to bring it down Listen, for these words are my way And yet I look to you Why do I look to you? In the wake of the turning hour To hold and...

You whose amber eyes are the curse of all loneliness Who greets life with a kiss of indifference You whose vanity must guide the garden path and surely surpass your suffocating pride Consummate in selfish ways, have I lost my will? Lost sense of self, it is do...

And it came again, like tears for a long lost friend Tears that find their rest Amidst words too sordid to comprehend And it came bearing gifts Of pain, frankincense, and her None had a home here, none but the pain Feel the fervor growing but the hate is str...

Bow to suffering and suffering embrace with crosses below and life is so I came to know my fate. I will find the kind escape. Alone, with regret and crosses, I will find the kind escape. When reason eludes you, and your logic contorting. Terrified of solitude...

Awake, awake for the dream has failed and failure speaks the purest truth. Time was lost before our eyes, now on your knees to worship depravity. My oath to madness whispered seven times, can hold the answer within all these lies. My oath to madness, within...

Dead, what has come to be the drowning eyes of the wretched sea A diseased victim of humanity, a soul sickened by this decree. Can you hide what your tongue conceals? How does it feel? You were lying with the dead. Did you notice when the cross went cold? Th...

A false confession sprayed forth from the mouth of disdain What words spoken? What love swayed? And the mirror broken brings the faith of the damned to me. This is how the lost ones feel in love and life Close your legs when vanity's forlorn Close your legs be...

Aside from the memories This life and curse has failed us. Dreams lost to the greyest light Awoke screaming with bloodless eyes. So end it now, and see yourself, So end it now, this life has cursed us. And like the night, where anger can survive you and I wi...

Painted eyes Through painted eyes I see A blackened heart and a whisper Waiting for the light again To save us from such suffocating pain Sweet, suffocating pain Painted eyes see this world Painted eyes see this world 

You are the tightrope, that is strung about my neck. The hope of failed wishes, that haunts and dwells upon the grounds. And may the pain help me to see the truth of nights' atrocities, and the way to make you suffer. I saw the coming of you, I saw the signs...

All hail! The phrase of tainted prose The etchings that cover the rose Well of thought of you, must surely be denied For impure are the arts That are painted in your eyes Tonight, our lies shall be known, my faithless one Tonight, our lies shall be known And...

I saw you wedding gown The prettiest dress I came into the room that night And made such a mess In my own way, I lovingly kiss the bride With your ring in your hand Your eyes and your mouth open wide In my eyes Blood drops look like roses on white lace They wo...

Kissing the stillness, caressed by the cold This path of deceit shall never grow old Ageless and guiltless, feasting on damnation And the ever growing fear in their eye One lash for my guilt and two for my lies Beaten by the wolves in innocence disguised Kis...

Piercing my penance The revilement of your ways Now with eyes betrayed And my sorrow denied Regret would stay and follow your side Loving only your life Until that day That day [3x] That day that I forgot That you're the one A call from chaos had begun And m...

I remember, the kiss of shame. The hopeless greed that once united our paths from earth to the wretched night. Now we are closer to hell than to wholeness. Forever in lustful disdain. The drowning heart shall always remain, in fear of our lustful disdain. The...

Seven whispers silent On scathing winds the seven whistlers tune Seven cries, blinded eyes Bade the choke on the night Beneath the stare of a cold and blood-dimmed moon Alaster, avenging one Guide my path Live in me, exist to be The festering wounds upon the...

Are my hands not black? Black with the filth of this ageless denial? From the first birthing breath, to the stillness of death The light of the "right" has been deceived And thus we live our lives Always one step from the "heavens" Shattering the spell One ac...

A sickening sermon held with the mirror’s gaze Without flesh to offer, without will to save Now deceit’s reflection, glares back with lying eyes and recites the lie that brought this corpse to life And I must deny myself all life’s pleasures For in this denial...

The congregation mourn the pale and listless, Sullen eyes were blind to you Then let blindness be their only truth, Sightless wisdom in the shade of longing For failure comes in many disguises, vicious flaws entombed by prose Then let this grave hold their on...

The fight with in for all The second for only I Now in proper sleep They start asking What I witnessed in life The haunted The fragile The frozen words for you This we not Won't forget In the nightmare for your life Please help me out For I have failed to d...

I wear my sunglasses at night So I can, So I can Watch you weave then breathe your story lines And I wear my sunglasses at night So I can, So I can Keep track of visions in my eyes While she's deceiving me, she cuts my security Has she got control of me I tu...

Cobwebs reaching from the heavens to the lover's plague A soul strung out on shadows and the killing words brings the fervor to a halt Far beyond the solace of hatred that tarnished and banished all thoughts of you A storm of ill-wishes brought the cold resist...

As the reasons came and went, and swept across The face of my innocence, I was lost. To know your face, and your true shade To feel your lips, and to be bade To praise the night, to praise my unknown faith Must I sure find a way? To infest the wound Inside t...

My reverence for you is gone, stand alone and be counted My time with you was like time alone in a grave Stand apart or unite in regret To the west of god Passion alone in the must I am the wolf at your door I am the wounds on your wrists Vengeance is the marr...

To celebrate the guilt (the lies of whispering shadows) And tattoo their words upon your ever-scarring flesh. (Beaten, diseased, follow) To make believes there is no guilty, to wield the liar's dagger, And clasp his hand to celebrate the countless unborn basta...

The vultures have been waiting To feast upon their prey With the vengeance knife This disdain for life ends today With grand anticipation The frail have been stalked Showing no remorse This lifeless corpse is forced to rock A season of starvation is at hand...

Courting with pain, the dirtiest whore I laid my lips on the filthiest swine Years later I'm still sipping On the drippings of your spilt wine Standing west of god We are united in regret Your blemishes must never fade like portraits where ink and skin meet S...

A sulfurous stench that captures the greed of life Like flesh unto the bone, and both unto the knife An ulcerous wench enraptured with the falling night Embracing with the moon while racing from the heaven's bite For horns, forewarned The dream evolved F...

Two figures ride towards the sunset. Searching for truth, only one shall return. Bring it down, tonight. Reprisal for our loss. We are the nightmare, the chosen silence. We are the night. Three words to praise the reached. Those wretched eyes of the drowning...
