Theatre of Lies

The theatre of the masquerade starts its play
Painted eyes, painted smiles, in the limelight
No auditorium, just a scene, two-fold roles
Performers and audience at the same time
But paint melts and costumes fray, the truth unfolds
Unsighted eyes, sunless smiles, in dimming lights
Distorted faces, drowning souls, exchanging lies
Pretentiousness, deformity, absurdity
Darkness come and terminate the falsity
Theatre of lies
Lies
Lies

Howling
04:43

A howling in the night rips the sky
Dull and distant
Sound of lingering pain
Unsatisfied rage
A lament from the realm of Hades
Makes you rise in the dead of the night
Its source to identify
Time goes by the sound is gone
Deathly still
You, wide awake
Like an owl trying to detect
Hellbent on fooling yourself
Till your eyes meet the light
Standing alone in the silentness
Monitoring the moves of the night
Coming from you
Trapped inside you

The Masque

For the one who had to help but turned away
For the one who had to give but took it all away
For the one who climbed up high by stepping upon dead bodies
For the one who chose not to see that some of them were still breathing
For the one who got to stand by smashing the legs of the others
For the one who got to breathe by sucking the air of the others
For the one who made it to sleep by sending nightmares to the others
For the one who, with a counterfeit smile, deceived all the others
The sun is gone
Midnight tolls
Regret and fear
The masque is here
Brings decay
The death of day
Pain and fear
Red Death is here

The Black Bird

It is here, drawing near once again
Flies above me all the time, not just at night
At the heart of winter and in the shiniest of days
The black bird constantly haunting me
Bringer of truth, sealer of fate, sombreness
Destroyer of false hope and ignorance
The black bird sadistically reminding me
That it will have the final word
*Based on the poem “The Black Bird” by Costas Despiniadis (poetry collection “Nights Smelling of Death”)

Eternal Dark (R.I.P.)
07:42
|
|

|
Time to say goodbye
To lay to rest
The end of suffering
The maw of death
The road is yours to end
The bonds to break
Now eternal dark
Shall bring the peace
The twilight of dawn
Is not unsung
No oblivion
Your grave adorned

Abyss of Existence
07:27
|
|
||
|
Death of autumn leaves
Emptiness of hope
The firing squad of time
Vicious circle of dreams
Imminence of fall
The impasse of the dawn
The evil of pretense
The cruelty in words
The coldness of betrayal
The shadows that mourn
Void of the loss
Selfishness of faith
The burden of the fault
Reflections of the past
Voices from the vault
The everlasting scars
Agony and pain
Ire and despair
The reign of decay
Shadows mourn no more
Purity of dark
Throw out the spark
Set them all afire

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder
