Chapter I: Angst

The unforgiving
Ultimatum of fate
Bestowed upon me
In this forsaken state
Portraying the end of time
Empowering are these emotions
I am forced to breathe in this dark halo
And chained till my certain demise
Slowly the flame has faded
An answer to all my prayers
Now this loss is overtaking
Leaving me in despair
Creeping in are
the maleficent
Notions of fear
I face yet another lie
But I am my own emir
Oh merciless yet so divine
Life come forth and unchain
Discredit this pain and suffering
Assuredly without this, all is in vain
I know, fear is only just a state of mind
Why I’m losing control
And why I’m drowning my soul
Don’t leave me alone
Deep inside I’m cold
Now I am on my own
Just watching it all unfold
New horizons in distant ethereal
Blossoming agony shattering internally
Desperate scars of hopelessness
Concealing absolution
Darkened misery is reciting my destiny
Atone me, release me
From this endless fear

Chapter II: Verzweiflung

Lifted is the curse of sorrow
Fallen are the curtains that blackened tomorrow
Eventuality of the repressive shackles
Another silhouette of the unborn desolation
A respite, an enduring distraction
Bewildering phenomenon
There’s more to what I will become
These burning candles
Lighting the path into the unknown
I follow the flames
Walking through the shadows
Swiftly severing into pieces
This willful torment
And who is to blame
Oh father I have sinned
The impeccable being
What for I have come to existence when all is for obsolescence
Time after time, same old stencils
Betrayal of imagination
Abolishing love and perception of life
Blazing the skies are ought to be
New peripheries, tainting the halls
Burning down a precinct
A labyrinth to the ashes
Birth of an aberrant rage
Enigmas lie right before me
Distinct hypocrisy, blaming for the fall
Redundant is the obvious
A perplex description
Turning into my own nemesis
What I had held dear to me
Taken away in a blink of an eye
There is no periphrasis nor ambiguity here
It’s unrooting all the very fundamentals I lived by
This deceptive oddity, a lost translation
Frames my tribulation
Now I became a stranger to myself
Reciprocating the unjust anomalies of life
Deeming the obscurities of my fate
Seeking the light to come through
Absolute reset in this blind state
There’s nothing to turn to
Hate I welcome you
These burning candles
Lighting the path into the unknown
I follow the flames
Walking through the shadows
Swiftly severing into pieces
This willful torment
That leaves me in despair

Chapter III: Zorn
06:11
|

|
I annihilate the essence of sympathy
Moving on - there’s not a trace of empathy
To the source of my integrity
I question this vivid conclusion of heresy
The scale is now unbalanced
An awakening of disorder
Condemning all the others
An affection for disbelief
Hatred, rushing through my veins
Accomplishing its secrets of keeping me insane
Now breeding an ultimate wrath
That I must unleash
My heart is blackened by the flames
At war with myself, I am to be blamed
To all the demons lurking within me
I bring death upon thee
Fragments of my failures
Scattered across flagrantly
Torments in the cries, harrowing screams
Tearing me apart and my hollow dreams
Destruction
I pursue aimlessly
Bring Salvation
That I seek relentlessly
Somehow
The darkness overrules the harmony
And somehow
There is no escape from this atrocity
As the vanquisher, I have come to terms with this
That alas now at this altar lies my very fate

Chapter IV: Erlösung
08:00
|
|||
|
Foreseeing
The aftermath caused by hysteria
Enlightening odyssey
A monumental liberation
Surpassing the damnation
Adjusting through the fiery storms
Unveiling the clauses in masquerade
Accepting this shallow existence
I will prevail
Changing
Praxes that I’ve adhered to
I’m breaking
The chains that I was affixed to
Bleeding
The poison that starts a new life
I’m breathing
Salvation that once was a lie
Kneeling, embracing a scorching demise
Revealing the ritual that is despised
Synthesis of all what's left behind
Metamorphosis no more in disguise
As I lay off the ire
The final curtain falls
Exposing my patience
I am set free
Forthwith reaching completion
Marking destiny
These wings of deliverance
Slaying me gently
Changing
Praxes that I’ve adhered to
I’m breaking
The chains that I was affixed to
Bleeding
The poison that starts a new life
I’m breathing
Salvation that once was a lie
