In your shadow the ghost of disaster Hunting you down like a hound You can't sleep but your mind's filled with nightmares Where the devil eats your soul Oblivion's close at hand To turn shit into stone Forbidden fruit's so sweet Go get you some Always feeling this presence behind you But there's nothing there at all Like a limb that was lost but's still hurting Filled with echoes of remorse Give it up Let the demons fly you home Forget your regrets now Just embrace the curse And turn off your phone Get ready for the night In your shadow the ghost of disaster Hunting you down like a hound You can't sleep but your mind's filled with nightmares Where the devil eats your soul Oblivion's close at hand To turn shit into stone Forbidden fruit's so sweet Go get you some Always feeling this presence behind you But there's nothing there at all Like a limb that was lost but's still hurting Filled with echoes of remorse Give it up Let the demons fly you home Forget your regrets now Just embrace the curse And turn off your phone Get ready for the night

How many times do I have to cross that river How many times will I stumble through the mud How many times do I have to feel the shivers How many times do I have to see you die Hole in the ground So cold and dark This is your home now King of the mud Chased to a corner grabbed by the throat So many people here to see the show Eternal palace fits like a glove Embalmed and buried in your fancy clothes How many times do I have to live this nightmare How many times will I tread this darkest paths How many times will I curse in desperation How many times will I have to see your crimes Hole in the ground So cold and dark This is your home now King of the mud

Looking over from his tower Shrouded in the darkest flames Ever lost in base desires Is the overseer of pain Hide your loved ones Keep them safe Your world's about to Turn insane Bells call with the sunset Torture blood and madness Bells call with the sunset Torture blood and madness Master in the arts of violence Treading on the paths of doom Ever crafting human nightmares The ambassador of gloom Close your windows Call your friends There's no lock to Keep you safe Bells call with the sunset Torture blood and madness

Your tomb is the very air you breath Stumbling through the darkness Body's cold like death and you Feel like a carcass as you crawl Through your motions day by day The musty smell of decay in you Who would want to share your doom Dismal down-existence Dismal down-existence Dismal down-existence Dismal down-existence How can you thrive with the living How can you live when you feel like a corpse How can you thrive with the living Like smelling a flower but without a nose You try to speak but you've lost your voice Gurgling your guts like they're full of worms Your laughter sounds like a roadkill You're inside out like a piece of cloth How can you thrive with the living How can you live when you feel like a corpse How can you thrive with the living Like smelling a flower but without a nose Dismal down-existence Dismal down-existence Dismal down-existence Dismal down-existence

7.	The Crossing 03:41	lyrics	buy track
Bloody swans flying low coming for you in the sunset Wooden horse and the light disappears from your eyes with The rope Takes the crossing only with a step Not like those who agonize in bed Makes the crossing quicker than deserved Not like those whose eyes turn slowly red Rivers flow downward slow towards the mirror of the earth Every dog has its day there's no bones for you in darkness So deep Takes the crossing only with a step Not like those who agonize in bed Makes the crossing quicker than deserved Not like those whose eyes turn slowly red Only one way to go be there fire or stone Only one way to go where the angels don't glow Only one way to go you go down with the rope Only one way to go no need to pack your clothes You could have saved the world but your deeds won't mean nothing The same darkness awaits as it does for the monsters Of men Takes the crossing only with a step Not like those who agonize in bed Makes the crossing quicker than deserved Not like those whose eyes turn slowly red

Ready the caskets Keep them in the basement in the off-chance you die Comes like a flood of despair Seizing and harassing you in the small of the night Wraiths of the reaper Shadows of the horseman bring the call of the scythe Will you see the sun tomorrow Or spend all your riches with the dead? Festered! Ghost of tomorrow as black as your blood Festered! Is it in your head what you feel in your bones? Festered! Ghost of tomorrow as black as your blood Festered! Is it in your head what you feel in your bones? Lord of the nightmares Howling your torment with dogs in the dark Curse of the living Crowning existence with nothing but pain Wraiths of the reaper Checking you out cause you're ready to go Can you hear the bells a-calling Every one is equal in the end Festered! Ghost of tomorrow as black as your blood Festered! Is it in your head what you feel in your bones? Everything that you see is the edge of the knife Everything that you see is the end of the line It is true is it not? It is true is it not? Is it true really or it's all in my mind? Cause I see the white robe of the priest My last rites finally here Everything that you see is the edge of the knife Everything that you see is the end of the line It is true is it not? It is true is it not? Is it true really or it's all in my mind? Cause I see the white robe of the priest My last rites finally here The charred ash floating by So light won't reach the skies

Under cities buried by the centuries Lies the darkness where the witch kings lived Wretched masters of the ancient wastelands Dreary tendrils searching for the light Foolish travelers searching after treasures Leave your lanterns get back to the sun For the caverns breathing dire whispers Wait with malice to destroy the lands Curses of the dead waiting for the end to enslave again Curses of the dead waiting for the end to enslave again Under cities buried by the centuries Lies the darkness where the witch kings lived Wretched masters of the ancient wastelands Dreary tendrils searching for the light Curses of the dead waiting for the end to enslave again Curses of the dead waiting for the end to enslave again Acheron!

Wardrums Beating the plains where the slaughter will rain with the thunder Ravens will feast from the bones of the killed Grey god The storm will dissolve and your name be forgotten forever Never again to be heard Fields will turn red with the blood of the dead Kings die with them Fields will turn red with the blood of the dead Gods die aswell Wardrums Laden with lies of the treasonous kind comes the morning Bringing great pain with the smell of the rain Grey god Who'll sing the songs that they used to compose in your worship Never again to be heard Fields will turn red with the blood of the dead Kings die with them Fields will turn red with the blood of the dead Gods die aswell Gods may die waste away in time Gods can die idols left behind Wardrums Beating the plains where the slaughter will rain with the thunder Ravens will feast from the bones of the killed Grey god The storm will dissolve and your name be forgotten forever Never again to be heard

Withered away lies the heart of Yag-Kosha Chains for so long in his arms So comes the stranger To steal from the place no one can Dreaming alone with the flower of the lotus Yara the warlock was bound So comes the stranger Who pitied the prisoner's plight Slay me I put my life in your hands Slay me Do it and you'll understand Yara's demise Yara's demise Withered away lies the heart of Yag-Kosha Chains for so long in his arms So comes the stranger To steal from the place no one can Dreaming alone with the flower of the lotus Yara the warlock was bound So comes the stranger Who pitied the prisoner's plight Slay me I put my life in your hands Slay me Do it and you'll understand Yara's demise Yara's demise Slay me Slay me Slay me Slay me
