Peacewalker Very good. Horrific, ghostly atmosphere and interesting song's structure. The sound production maybe could be better but as an autoprod, it's forgivable, and the music in itself is excellent. Favorite track: The Fall (Deception Pt. II).

Them 08:01
This I have witnessed In my twilight dreams Those feverish visions haunt me even when awake Where all the colours have faded Where feathers cut like knives Where I am alone yet in company Of something that is not sealed And every time I awake in sweat and know it's just a dream How I wish to return there, where my sanity escapes me To release this devilish anxiety In the flickering candlelight I can sense there's something beyond As I hear the howling outside I know it has begun Little comfort in these pills I take to keep my mind at bay Slipping towards the border These dreams have taken over And every time I fall asleep I question if it's just a dream How I wish to escape and stay awake No longer they stay away Even in the light of the day Inside these walls of my mind something has been born Something that has taken me beyond to the point where insanity embraces me Too long too stretched my mind is giving in I have gone too deep too many times I no longer know if I'm awake or in sleep A distant sound awakes me from my tortured slumber I hear a knock on my door but not once nor twice but thrice Who dares to disturb me in the heart of night? As I approach the door opens revealing being that sends chills down my spine A figure alarming yet so charming I try to reach out but the vision escapes me I hear the chanting and awake to my own scream Gasping for air I realize it was just another dream But where did that sound I heard come from I open the door and stare it eye to eye How could a thing so miss-shaped be alive I bar the door and escape back to my bedroom Where the breeze takes out the last burning candle Oh dear god How I have feared and waited this moment I hear the sound of shattering wood This time I know I'm awake All the lights have gone out my room is dark and dim I know they are near for I can hear them singing

The Spectre 04:43
Seduced by her Summoned to taste the forbidden Inviting my dark fantasies to life I embrace her Biting the pain divine Her Burning eyes locked on mine As we dance thru space and time Condemned to fall with a burning heart To embrace the beauty and never depart And yet still thru this night I passed Alone With tearing feelings and a bitter laugh Bringer of pleasure and pain Take me into thy arms once more Captured within this moment Where fear and excitement entwine As we dance thru space and time To fulfill this play of dark passion A scenery filled with both pain and desire I bow my head and feel her enchanting caress Inviting me deep within her body and soul I yearn for thee once again Open thineself and fall with me And so she took me away As if temptation dressed as an angel Bringer of pleasure and pain Take me into thy arms once more Captured within this moment Where fear and excitement entwine As we dance thru space and time Thee brought the fire upon my heart And lead me in to the garden of delight

Nightbringer 06:21
Sweetly I take you from your safe haven To the stormy seas in which I roam free I will not promise you hell nor heaven But a place to rest your tired, aching soul Come with me deeper away from the light In it's glow you're nothing but blind Take my hand, I will guide you through I promise the pain and sadness will disappear Lie down on my soft inviting bed I promise no need to tears be shed As long as you just stay quiet and still I will cleanse you from all sin Come with me deeper away from the light In it's glow you're nothing but blind Take my hand, I will guide you through I promise the pain and sadness will disappear My heart's raging beat Will end that of yours This is where I long to be For this moment is ours Stains of decay have been washed away They needed to go tho some wished to stay Angel of death with wings pure white Bringing down the swift justice Smiling to me on my mirror The face on my mirror assures me This is a way to set them free And to find my own release... Stains of decay have been washed away They needed to go tho some wished to stay Angel of death with wings pure white Bringing down the swift justice Smiling to me on my mirror Come with me deeper away from the light In it's glow you're nothing but blind Take my hand, I will guide you through I promise the pain and sadness will disappear My heart's raging beat Will end that of yours This is where I long to be For this moment is ours

Tragedy 06:09
Now all this makes sense to me The promises, the choices I made Only lead me to damnation Words Bitten by betrayer's blade I abandoned my senses Their laugh still haunts me Scene was set by my will Now I am crossing the border Curse you who circle around me like vultures over pray Waiting me to make my final mistake Because of you I was introduced to this hell Curse you all who I once adored Parade of deceivers, clowns and whores I now know I am now surrounded by fraud This court has no sense of justice I am prepared to cross the border Screams of anger piercing this weak flesh Echoes of laughter around me and the void beneath I am slowly sucked deeper into the blackness The light is slowly fading I cannot see the faces but I feel the cuts on my skin And all I can do is sigh I am the hated painting Spit on me if you please Tear me off the wall like did those before you Show me true violence, teach me how to fear Don't let my forgiveness prevent you Feel the rush when you end my pity life Curse you who circle around me like vultures over pray Waiting me to make my final mistake Because of you I was introduced to this hell Curse you all who I once adored With my remaining strength I curse you I never saw this coming And here I lie, left to bleed to death Curse you all who I once adored

The dusk descends like a crimson veil upon me Green leaves loose their colour as the night Grows deeper and darker every passing moment And with dawn, nothing will be the same I feel the cuts as if it had been me The pain is stronger I could ever know I hear the screams inside my head I see their smiles but can't interfere She did see the lust in their eyes But could not realize They wanted to taste her fear Now she lays covered in her own blood Through the catacombs under this burned ground Among the withering leaves of life I gather My remaining strength and I shalt prevail Let them taste the fear and the pain I was forced to endure And as I fell into darkness fury filled my mind And as they fell broken and torn the blood stained the memory Who would have known I could wield such force To tear down an entire house stained with shame This truth could only be revealed by violence And so their screams broke down the terrible wall of silence A sudden realization what I had committed My whole world burned into ashes, torn to pieces What ill fate brought this misfortune upon me And then I understand, that fool was no one but me I see mirrors laughing, the walls are closing in This nightmare in which I am dwelling slowly, steadily awakes me Illusions fade, hopes, dreams crumble The dying echo of these empty words The dying ego of this empty corpse Imitating and mocking emotions I myself laid in grave So much pain, so much pain, caused again and again Oh why I am here Left alone under the marks of ancient wisdom and splendor No place to hide from the one who took it all away No forgiveness nor salvation for the wicked soul I carry inside feel older than the trees themselves That have seen more I will see Tempted to drown myself among these leaves May they bury me with their gentle sleep This act was purely selfish I wonder if anyone will ever even know what happened here For what lies behind the veil of misty morning We all see in a different light
