2.	Life Is On the Wane 04:43	lyrics	buy track
When I woke in the cold and the dark A pestilent wind had unfurled To scatter the ashes of man And carry the smoke around the grim world. Beneath a welkin black with ashes, Wherein the sun forsakes to rise, I have wandered for so long And remembered ravens in the blue and cloudless skies. Sickening rain begrimes my head. Long ago I cast my mask among the dead. The road through the cold and the dark Stinks of scorched flesh and of rot. Under black respirators Dark orbits hold eyes forsaken by God. Where should I go when the dark is ominpresent And light is on the wane? I am setting forth to somewhere, to nowhere, As I wander in vain. I am inhaling the darkness, inhaling the cold, Inhaling the ashes, inhaling the smoke, Exhaling the fine mist of blood That dissolves in nothingness like hope. Where should I stay when death is omnipresent And life is on the wane? I am setting forth to somewhere, to nowhere, Unable to remain. The cloak of the cold and the dark Covers every thought. Light there is little, life there is less And hope, hope there is nought. There is smoke in the cold and the dark, And the dark, the dark has no name. Yet it is my companion here Where no light shall remain and all life is on the wane.
3.	Godless 04:28	lyrics	buy track
Crumbling monuments, Epitaphs erased by the ravages of time. Remembrance withers Under ashes, dirt and grime. Once I am gone no grave will bear my name. Once I am gone no knells will chime. All churches burnt, all steeples collapsed. The dark is bare of anything divine. No Heaven, no angels, no God - Just this world succumbed to rot. All prayers were spoken unheard And all holiness has come undone As all else upon this world That is dying in the absence of the sun. All those that I remember, All those that I forgot Are dead and gone for evermore, Gone before, to rot - in the absence of God. I will not be remembered, I will not be forgotten, For only I remember Or forget the dead and rotten. Scorched and blackened angels With faces numb and cold Stare with motionless eyes, Unable to see what I behold. I behold the nothingness, The great and godless darkness to come. Nothingness lies Beyond the darkest thoughts I cannot shun. Upon this barren globe I will wander – godless Beneath a sooted cloak Of darkness, deep and godless. Godless... Until the darkness takes me. I will wander - godless. Until my breath forsakes me And the darkness takes me – godless..
4.	The Indifferent Sun 04:40	lyrics	buy track
The indifferent sun never shows, Dwells beyond the grey murk, unseen, Like a ghost that hides in the shadows Of a memory recalled in a dream. The world dies but the sun does not care, Does not shine on the wastelands of nowhere Which I cross on my way to (the non-existent) hell knows where Expecting nothing but nothingness there. The indifferent sun Shall vanish with me in the darkness to come. Come, darkness come! Make me forget the indifferent sun. The indifferent sun never shows. Too far away, far too feebly, it shines. Light fails to pervade the ethereal ashes Which darken this world that declines. I do not search for the sun anymore. Hope went with my shadow long before. The indifferent sun Shall vanish with me in the darkness to come. Come, darkness come! Make me forget the indifferent sun. The dusk of the world has begun And the ultimate end approaches apace. I will vanish, at last, at the end of all days, Vanish, alone, in the darkness to come. The indifferent sun Shall vanish with me in the darkness to come. Come, darkness come! Make me forget the indifferent sun. Come, Darkness come!
5.	A Hundred Ropes 04:34	lyrics	buy track
Gloomy, gloomy lies the orchard, Full of dead and crippled trees. A hundred ropes are wound around a hundred throats Of those who sensed the darkness at the end of vain belief. They came here sick and thin as death To die before the whole world ends. The rotten fruits of hopelessness Disperse the stank of pestilence. In vain they sought the light of god As above is but the dark that conquers all. There is no “beyond the veil”. There only is “beneath the pall”. Bereft of goddesses and gods, Of saviours and saints, This world drifts into nothingness And the nameless dark descends. There is darkness at the end of the tunnel. Salvation is a fabled myth. They all set forth to nowhere. They only ceased to exist. Gloomy, gloomy lies the orchard, Full in bloom of putrid grief. A hundred ropes are wound around a hundred throats Of those who sensed the darkness at the end of vain belief. Ashes cling to lifeless flesh As does darkness to the world that ends While I am setting forth again And the nameless dark descends.
6.	The Nameless Dark 06:36	lyrics	buy track
A tremor born in the earth Shattered a dream of the past When the day had an orb And the night had a welkin of stars. On the eve of the end I watched the orb of day descend. I only knew about true darkness When I did not see the sun again. It is dark and growing darker. Memories of the sun evanesce. With the fading of every night The light of day becomes less... and less.... The sun moved unseen Beyond the dark, pestilent veil. The day reached its end Yet its light was but gloomy and frail. The nameless dark... The nameless dark descends to enshroud The dying world and me. The nameless dark... The nameless dark descends to entomb The dying world and me. On the eve of the end I watched the orb of day descend. I only knew about true darkness When I did not see the sun again. It is cold and growing colder As the world slowly dies. With the fading of every night More darkness remains in the skies. The moon rose unseen Beyond the black, pestilent pall. The nameless dark takes all light. The nameless dark conquers all. The nameless dark... The nameless dark descends to enshroud The dying world and me. The nameless dark... The nameless dark descends to entomb The dying world and me.
7.	Oneiric 04:57	lyrics	buy track
I entered a tunnel to rest and to sleep And maybe to dream of the sun and the past. The outer world moans under siege by decay, Growing cold in the darkness devoid of all stars. The decay of the world resounds in this tunnel That stretches all crumbling and dark like a dream, A dream I dreamt, a dream of the end, Set after the clocks stopped at 1:17. I reached for the light at the end of the tunnel, Yet the further I walked the weaker it grew. All I reached was a world ere its ultimate end, Lying scorched `neath a welkin which lets no hope through. The light was the blaze which devoured all hope And gave birth to the dark which was given no name, Which rose from the fire with wings of thick smoke To darken a world never meant to remain. Amid the vast mayhem, at one with the reek, Something was shifting from shadow to shape. It stared at me, stared at me, whispered:”Now sleep”, While I writhed in the darkness and tried to awake.
8.	Blood and Ashes 03:28	lyrics	buy track
Through this dismal industrial landscape of old Howl the grim and carnivorous winds, Like freezing black lungs that exhale the decay And the dirt of the world going down. The bread which I ate and the wine which I drank Were the flesh and the blood of the carrion crows That succumbed to starvation and died a slow death In the dirt of the world going down. Here in the dirt of the world going down I am writhing in spasms and throes, Caughing blood, caughing ashes And spitting thick phlegm of both. The blood I am coughing is feeding the dirt, Seeping away in the grey And leaving a darkening trail of the past In the dirt of the world going down.
9.	Languor 08:58	lyrics	buy track
Cold is the path through this forest of grime. Black is the soil and the future ahead. Pestilent winds whirl the ashes of time And carry the dust of the dead. My heartbeat resembles a low, distant knell For I know that there is no beyond and no light, That I shall go nowhere, not even to hell, That I shall only cease to exist when I die tonight. I am kneeling here, coughing amid the dead trees, Bound to succumb, scenting blood on my breath. Hardly able to breathe all the ashes and grief I am waiting in languor, waiting for death.
10.	A Funeral Shroud Cast Upon the Late World 03:54	lyrics	buy track
Once again... I awoke in the cold and the dark Though I thought that death had been nigh. The void encloses my soul and my heart And this desolate world gone by. There is no light left, the world passed, Total darkness unfurled To last Like a funeral shroud cast upon the late world. Am I at one with the late world? Do we share the same dead heart? Am I at one with the darkness which unfurled? Am I at one with the nameless dark? Am I the nameless dark?
