Fata Morgana

Inquisition lingers overhead
Maleficent minds prod my sanity
Lethe's rapids capsize the wayward vessel
No coastline menagerie in sight
In the still a ship appears
A distant reverie long forgot
My arms and legs stretch
Prepared to battle the riptides
The sun and moon exchange places twice
Upon the third twilight I arrive
There is no ship here
Just more of the vast sea
What was it I thought I saw?
Salvation? A second chance?
I saw what I wanted to see
Nonexistent opportunity
Did I waste my time swimming?
Did I do right to seize the moment?
It's all just an illusion
And like fools, we chase the bait

In Sorte Diaboli

Shade is just a lie
Heat penetrates skin
Blistering sun rises
Once again inopportune
Shadows crowd the soul
Cackling cacophony
Demons converse with skeletons
The dark lord lurks
Grim is the procession
Late is hour eleven
Hellfire is awaiting
The soul is lost
Mouths are open
No words are spoken
World turns once more
Judgment is here
Was this just a dream?
Wondering under the shade
Gaze upon the earth
Gaze upon hell
There is no refuge
Satan walks among us
Maybe he's one of us
Maybe us all

De Profundis

Bleeding out the day
We all bleed the same
Try to deny it
The dragon flies above
Scorching my beloved
I keep dying

Don't tempt me further
I can't light this candle anymore
My face is immolated
All of this is unrelated
God, I'm so frustrated
Won't you come and snuff this hatred?

Brother, ball and chain
Sister, forgotten my name
I'm torn apart
Mother, gone away
Father, hell awaits
Dead in my heart

Out of the depths
Out of the depths I tremble, crying out
But tears don't fall so easy from these eyes
Out of control
Out of control I tear my insides out
In hope some day my soul is pacified
