Nailed To Obscurity
King Delusion
1. King Delusion
Speaking to our darkened soul
Infernal voice from within
Reverberant, superior
Sanity and reason agreed
Don't let it take over
Like a king of ancient times
On a throne of inner agony
Trying to keep a tight reign on you
You run the risk
Of being restained
A malicious master
The emperor arcane
The sound of ravens
Croaking from above
While you simply need to yell
To make these creatures fly away
Too weak to raise your voice
Muted by the smoke
Caused by black flames
Grey clouds cover the sky
Like an oversized shadow
Again you can hear the voice
An ode to misery
The ominous predator calls
Bow down and obey
All life fades away
You strive to gain control
Control
You strive to gain control
Infinite sadness
Consumes you
Look into the eyes
Of this monster
Plague - lack of life
Stare into
A cracked mirror
Plague - lack of life
Stare into
Deformed reality
Fragile mind
Full of rage
Bursting bomb
Full of blood
The king, the master
Infernal voice
From within
He's not bound to ancient times
Comes alive through inner agony
Makes you too weak to raise your voice
Saps you with the smoke
Caused by black flames
Plague of life
Lack of life
Plague of life
Lack of life
2. Protean
Fleeting ground
Steps on broken glass
No rest
Nomad
Ruined ground
Seeking to blaze a trail
Forlorn ground
Worn out heart
No rest
Nomad
Every step she walks – overcoming
Every soul she collects – a sore spot
Every breath she takes on her road
Through incomplete matters
Deep forest
No signs of light
Pounding waves
Turn of current
Unbearable mountains
If she falls, she’ll bite the dust
To ensure that she’s still alive
Muddy spots
Risk of caving in
She battles to find hold
Solid soil
Twinge within her bones
She struggles for an end
The shifting
The differing
Ever-changing
The protean
3. Apnoea
4. Deadening
Pop the bitter pill
Lose your mind and drift away
Virginity is now a misty memory
Lost in the past
A trip that makes you fly up
As long as it lasts
The ground six feet under your shoes
Nullified and not in
Do it again
Keep the moment alive
Float above the bother
Do it again
Keep the moment alive
Float above the bother
And dig in the dirt
Is it real life negation?
The importance of inabriation
Take a look in the mirror
Face the disgust
Smile turns into grimace
All that's left is a grotesque face
Pop another pill, lie again
Or throw them away - stand your ground
This is real life negation
Take a look in the mirror
Now face the disgust
5. Memento
Daylight doesn't touch her anymore
As the moon began to shine brighter
Highs seem too low
Thoughts drag her down
Into botomless holes
Fall without a cord
Unable to lift a brow
She allows herself to drift off
A state of trance
Memories recur
Foreign places appear
Every detail - so clear
Like long-forgotten times
Like snapshots in her mind
Is this a lost recall?
A ghost light to confuse
Or is it someone else's life
On the inner screen?
A peculiar impulse
Forces her to proceed
Caught between trance and life
Will she ever leave?
Trancscendence of boundaries
Future, present and past collide
An image of her spirit - her life
Transcendence of boundaries
Future, present and past collide
The hour of memento
Her stiff body asleep
Her soul seeks for new grounds
A discarnate entity
Led by intuition
Different places appear
With every detail quite so clear
These long forgotten times
Snapshots in her mind
Crystalline - like carved in stone
The afterglow - her light disowned
Instantly she understands
Every shot - a single step
A map of all that's her
A soulmap as a guide to where she belongs
She has to keep this state
This guide - this chance
The shelter of this trance
More potent than the earth
Now, she knows about her loss
A map of all that's her
Revealing the chance
To balance both hers
A journey through herself
If feels surreal
But so real
Like never before (never, never, never before)
This is no lost recall
It recurs as a light
The view from the other side
On the inner screen
A migrated part of her past
Remigrates to her
Research between trance and life
She's about to leave
Transcendence of boundaries
Future, present and past collide
An image of her spirit - her life
Transcendence of boundaries
Future, present and past collide
The hour of memento
Unavoidable
Without premonition
Memento
Independent of time and space
Redemption at long last
6. Uncage My Sanity
Locked-in
Caged sanity
Free space erased by anxiety
Solid wall
Built by myself
All fears have grown through uncertainty
I slam the door to my past
I have to flee
It's my last resort
Parts of the pages reappear
They matter no more
Just like fallen leaves
No streets - no lanes
Can hold me back
I need to carry on
Even if there's only black
Breaking these chains
Is what I'm aiming for
Never-fading echoes
Inside my head
Noise to be tuned out
I pick up the fallen leaves
Piling up a fire
Burn the anguish down
No crossroads - no barricades
Can hold me back
My will to carry on
Still stronger than the black
Don't need no guide
Neither day nor night
The numbed passion within my veins
Flatlined and erased
My exhausting walk against the stream
Stock-still faces
With all their eyes
Staring at me
Hands grab for me
Gloomy trees with their limbs
Degrading narrow paths
Steep and full of stones
Out of the void
One destination
One high-rise
The fire escapes
Step by step
Higher and higher
Breathing the air
Spreading my crippled wings
Flying deeper
Deep down
Reaching for the stones
Crawling
Crawling
Crawling
As I hit the earth
My soul's getting free
Deliverance
As I reach the stones
Crawling
Crawling
Crawling
My wings will fly no more
I locked the door to my past
Tuned out the noise
It was my last resort
Watched all the ashes from above
They matter no more
They're gone with the wind
No hand - no body
Could hold me back
My will was just too strong
I overcame the black
Keeping the balance
Between day and night
Wooden crosses
Names carved in stone
Black dresses
Celebrate the unknown
Open casket
Truth revealed
Open casket
Truth revealed
A second chance
To start from scratch
Reborn to rebuild
Uncage my sanity
From uncertainty
From uncertainty
7. Devoid
Living with scars
Undying wounds from the past
Painful marks - that never really cure
Fine lines
Vague hatchings
Without colors without life
The image finds its way
Like a frame without matter
Just a canvas - bland
No dye, no scheme, no direction
Like a frame without matter
Eyes can't understand
A trace, a scratch
Misfit a meaningful patch
Style and shape
Like shrouded in an opaque cape
The colors ready to bleed
Like a frame without matter
Just canvas - bland
No dye, no scheme, no direction
Like a frame without matter
That is waiting for
The tears, the hurts, events - that will push it further
Like a frame without matter
Eyes can't understand
This process from inside
All the injuries
Which had to be recieved
Every needle
Rammed into one's heart
All the tears
Raining from the eyes
Unfinished imagery
When will one ever see?
Death will finish what birth started
Death will finish what birth started
Death will finish what birth started
All the injuries
Which had to be recieved
Every needle
Rammed into one's heart
All the tears
Raining from the eyes
Unfinished imagery
Until the curtain falls
8. Desolate Ruin
Predator of daily grind
Inside the looking glass
Mirroring a body
Ugly and disgusting
Bruises, blisters - all over it
Reflection of a body
A sickening sight
A view
That turns
Eyes into weapons
Graceless, merciless - biting from inside
A fear
That turns
Soul into burden
Severe, unbearable - weighing you down
Parasite - environment
Daily dose impurity
Battering a body
Completely out of place
Pointing fingers - like arrowheads
Throwing at a body
A sickening sight
A view
That turns
Eyes into weapons
Graceless, merciless - biting from inside
A fear
That turns
Soul into burden
Severe, unbearable - weighing you down'
Step down to the alley
The alley of dissociation
Walk on the alley
The alley of dissociation
Leave a life that's not meant to be lived
Outside the looking glass
