1. Adyta 'the Neverending Embrace'

O nate vulnerate
Cito veni ad me

Te amplectar et vulnera tua lingam
Utinam te haberem, mi amor caelestis

 

 


2. Chasing The Dragon


Free my mind
Heal my scars
Erase the past
Dark days to forget
And memories to last
In my heart

Free me now

Make me forget
And forgive
There's no use
To go on and live
Show me a way
To the sun

Heal my scars

Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here

Let my eyes take in
The beauty that's here
That’s left on this earth
My ears long to hear
A melody

Give me sight

Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here

Poison is slowly seeping through my veins
Stealing the only dignity in me

I pick them up and let them fall
To cause your pain and hit them all
[grunts]

One more life to live is what I want

I’ll take the joy away from them
See to it, they will all be damned

One more chance to heal what I have harmed

The dragon is wreak havoc in my brain
Plays my emotion, a never ending game

Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here

One more life to live for me

I want the night just to colour the day
The morning to chase all my nightmares away
Don’t you deny that we're all human beings
We all have our flaws that can make ourself obscene

Obscene…

Give me what I want
Give me what I need right now
That’s what I want
That’s what I need, get it!

Dolendo novit mortalis vitam

Tell me what I want
Tell me what I need right now
That’s what I want
That’s all I need, cure me

Dolendo discit mori mortalis
Losers

Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here


 


3. Seif Al Din "The Embrace That Smothers - Part VI"

The origin of a dogma
Placed in a new millennium
Vilified demons have been embraced
And given a warm welcome

The Seif al Din
Hasn't got the ghost of a chance to rust
Because it has always been kept in shape
In serving the one Almighty

The rudiments have always been misinterpreted during history,
despite the good intentions of many disciples who's faithful believe was strong and unswayed.
Most leaders interpret the old words to their
advantage in the attempt of gaining leadership and power
over those unfortunate enough to fall under their maliciousness and manipulative ways.
This misuse of trust will forever stain the pages of history,
echoing the exploitation and the frailty of decent
men carried away by nurtured rancour...

Perpetual distrust fed by a belief
In the malevolence of the others

When the beautiful unreality holds out its hand
It's better not to lose yourself in blind faith

La Illah Illallah, Mohammed rasul Allah

 

 

 

4. Sensorium

Chance doesn’t exist
But the path of life is not
totally so predestined and
time and chronology
show us how all should be
In the ways of existence
To find out why we are here

Being conscious is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get

No one surveys the whole, focus on things so small
But life’s objective is to make it meaningful
only searching for this
That which doesn’t exist
Although our ability
to relativize remains unclear

Being conscious is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end

scream:
I’m not afraid to die
I’m afraid to be alive without being aware of it

I’m so afraid to, I couldn’t stand to
Waste all my energy in things
that do not matter anymore

Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don’t grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes
and smell death every day.

Our future has already been wasted by us alone
And we just let it happen and do not worry at all

chorus x2:
Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don’t grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes
And smell death every day
Search for the answers that lie beyond

Being conscious is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end

 

 

5. Solitary Ground

living at different paces
evading into various places
my compass has broken
I'm losing the way
an ongoing madness has lead me astray

in me there's still a place that
fulfils me
a sanctity here that I call home
I run to when winter descends
if I try can I find solid ground?

I follow illusive paths
oh it seems they've been written in stone
and the door to a new life is closing so fast
burning the bridges will not bring me back

in me there's still a place that
fulfils me
a sanctity here that I call home
I run to when winter descends
if I try can I find solid ground?

in me there's still a place that
fulfils me
a sanctity here that I call home
I run to when winter descends
if I try can I find solid ground?

I know that
in me there's still a place that
fulfils me
a sanctity here that I call home
I run to when winter descends
if I try can I find solid groud?
or am I just wasting time?
wasting time

 

 

 

6. The Obsessive Devotion

Don’t you ever blind me
Don’t be a foolish thief
-Am I?
Don’t you ever bring yourself to grief

Don’t you ever blind me
Don’t ever trick my mind
-Did I?
Don’t you think that you can lie to me
-Did I lie?

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.

I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else

Don’t you choke and bind me
Don’t be a bleeding heart
-Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
-Let us play!

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.

I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
I can't even recognize the path which has to be
Taken to enter infinity.

-Don't you dare me
I dare you
-You don't care about me
I care about you
-Don’t you touch me
-Liar

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

Adoratio permanebit
Quotiens me eges, adero

I prefer to be unhappy with you,
rather than being depressed without you.
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do…

I prefer to be a lair just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you

One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down, I realise that…
All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion

Venia ad vitam aeternam
Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis

Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish
Liar

Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura

I have raised myself for you
But now I regret

Venia ad vitam aeternam

This is the end

7. Trois Vierges

Memory, fading out
Its presence still lingers in my mind
Listen to your inner voice
There's no escape, there's no other choice

A foolish fate that came about
Death could not leave without
Don't try to scour your inane soul
It would be labours lost

Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this will die

Innocence died when they took his mind
And they tried to leave him behind
Not even a cascade of tears will save you
And keep you away from harm

Concinnity of destiny
Is not what you wished it to be

Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this will die

Blind by love
Between lust and hate
You scarred your fate
There's no time to waste

Ride for your own ruin
Odium became your opium

Please don't let me bleed for all eternity

Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this...

Please leave me be in my own miser
