Avernus
Where the Sleeping Shadows Lie



1. An Endless Sea Of Evening

and i curse your world, and i curse your sun... for in your ivory world i am no-one
and i left my soul, where the sleeping shadow's lie... and i find my soul where forgotten shadows die
so empty here, in my usurperous awakening... so empty here, in this life i am forsaking
the light is burnt and bereaving, upon the shore, grieving... an ocean black beneath me, my endless sea of evening
life is burned before me... in the endless sea of eve
ash of darklit serenity... in the endless sea of eve
lies wash over me... in the endless sea of eve
lies watch over me... in the endless sea of eve
veil of atrocity... in the endless sea of eve
hides my face, it hides my heart... in the endless sea of eve
oblivion deliver me... in the endless sea of eve
to the father of all dark... in the endless sea of eve
falling from the clouds, and crying celestial tears
I will come to scorn them all... those who manifest my spirit
and i curse your world, and i curse your sun... for in your ivory world i am no-one
and i found my soul, where the sleeping shadow's lie... and now i leave my soul in hopes that it will die...


2. The Faustian Heart

so beautiful is your naivete... angelic... pathetic... i'll break your fucking wings!
the breast of fruitful dreams, be pierced and let them bleed
What foul, endearments bring... when seraphim shall sing
black spined and alone, my bitter thorns adorn your grief

of what dark, is a heart, that beats inside of me
inside of me
i am love. i am hate, i am love... know no god
i'm in you


3. Anastasia

my heart once fell in decadence, for my all i've been alone
until the night brought life unto the dead, and her name was mine, unknown
she wore the awe of moonlight, her haunting aire, i breathed in deep
at night we danced in the silhouette - of eternity... soulf fire burning... just kill me now!
the torch in my blood, burned in her hands
i fell to her feet, and bled for her love
she ripped out my heart, and gave it to me
i'd die in her arms, but she was never there... anastasia... my beautiful grave...
my heart once fell in decadence, for my all i've been alone
until the night brought life unto the dead, and her name was mine, alone...


4. Ashes Of Adoration

your name sang a most belegant choir... the sound of angels, how i wish it's possession
your arms, an ocean, that i'd drown in
love's a soul, enchanting, yet so forlorn
my adore....... fornevermore... how i would've died for you.. your name across my wrist
now how the earth will glamour you
cause without me, you don't exist...


5. Godlessness

kiss the blood off your hands, i know its mine, i feel it seething
deny me your rapture, don't let me die alone
killed by the dagger of your rejection...born godlessness is pure godlessness
pure godlessness, alone such as this...

nothing so cold as i'm crawling to your arms
nothing so cold as i lie at your feet
hold me forever, i'm something you could love
born godlessness, alone such as this
nothing so cold as im' banished from your arms
nothing so cold as i die at your feet
bleed me forever, i'm something that you hate
born godlessness is pure godlessness
pure godlessness, alone such as this..

in dirt, i lay, abandoned, and left astray..
naked, bleeding, spit on, and beaten

you would die for me?
you died alone...you died alone!

why do i feel alive, when i am so alone
you'll die alone!!


6. Dreamburn

i get dreamburn, when i wish myself away, every time...i get dreamburn, when i wish them all away, from my life...i get dreamburn, when i wish you all away, every time...


7. Disappear

coil broken...perchance to leave a soul, perchance to sleep
when i awakened i found it, it was lying next to me
i feel it crawling, under my skin it's trying to break me
i feel no more pain, tears dried before they hit my eyes
and the one i cant save in this life, forever haunting me... alone, grey home, right here...a shattered man is inside looking out
burning his reflection, yet his heart can still be found
i feel it crawling, under my skin it's trying to break me
i feel no more pain, tears dried before they hit my eyes
and the one i cant save in this life, forever haunting me..disappear...i cant make them disappear, they only fade
ashes scatter, their ashes scatter, burn them all away!
i feel it crawling, under my skin it was trying to break me
i feel no more pain, tears dried before they hit my eyes
and the one i cant save in this life, forever haunting me


8. Silver And Black

nothing more I've wanted, i was so naive
nothing more to pray for, now i have belief
a curse of silence, i couldn't undo
my only reason to live, it died with you...with you in my heart, there's no reaon to need but it's feeling more like hell inside of me
you took my everything, you left me bare
except for disillusion, i never felt so scared...you destroy me... if i knew the right words to cure the pain
i'll say them forever and i'd say them again
but i curse the silence, i couldn't undo
my only reason to live, it died with you...you destroy me...


9. For Every Waking Moment

i let you go for a moment
that moment drew on for days
i spend my time just hoping
that you're not too close nor far away
for years i've claimed this bastardization
how could i blame it ait on you
those scars we left are my possessions
but if i could i'd give some back to you
feeling paralyzed...i don't want to know, i don't want to see
how it was, you've killed the best of me
and i don't want to feel, feeling so surreal
you're gone so long...just walk away...from me
now do you walk away from me, everything...
now i'll never, ever know... for years i've claimed this bastardization
i could not blame it all on you
those scars we left are my possessions and if i could, i'd give some back to you
feeling paralyzed...


10. Downpour

it's raining here...it's always raining here
watch with my cold black stare...it's coming out!
i tried so hard to bring you down with me
to bring you down with me...it's coming out!
it's coming... the place inside, where i would run and hide
cracks forming, cracks in the wall...it's coming out!
i tried so hard to bring you down with me
to bring you down with me...it's coming out!
you are the fool who suffers
you could not understand
the mirror is breathing and its so revealing
the fool was always me
anticipation, the exhilaration
the storm before the calm
the trauma created, let it rain catharsis
bring to me this downpour... it's raining....let it rain
