A scene from a memory Veiled in darkness A cold, dead face staring at me Dead eyes, no features – in agony it screams
Suffering in the crimson halls of eternity Carved with thousands of faces – lost souls put to stone
A pale shade of existence In a world where all is dust From immemorial times A negative of life
Bleak landscapes under the pouring rain Silence fills the cracks in walls Disturbed only by the absence of color Illimitable gulfs of space swirling Beyond the portals of this world
Let the flesh burn, sear the skin Become that cosmic void that only manifests within The curtains fall apart, ashes on the stage The act concludes in silence
Stirring in the void…echoes stirring in the void
Broken seats and stench of death In this deserted monolith of the absurd
A temple of knowledge, a forgotten place Devoid of space and time
Only broken furniture reminds Of life that once was born Out of the chaos of the abyss To which, in it the end returned Come take a walk on this spectral street Where lights are always dim But don’t you stray into darkness Where only shadows grin
Take a journey in this empty world Where only shapeless forms dwell Behind the velvet of the shroud Of this pale eternal hell But don’t you leave the light
There are things awaiting in the night Beyond the fluorescent glow of the neon light Cold interstellar winds roar As distant nebulas flicker menacingly Beyond this empty sphere
Coils of entropy…
(Solos: Alex – Dan)
Rats scurry in the alleys, gnawing at old bones Red beady eyes full of hunger, wisdom, sadness
(Solo: Alex)
A skeleton lies twisted in the gutter Empty sockets staring at the sky Accusingly, with shame
Come visit this hollow empty shell Where it always rains It’s been a while since the thunder spoke Yet no death by water shall disturb this solitude
Only the shuffling in the walls remains Take a trip down this lane of the forgotten There is no life …ONLY RATS!…
