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
