Haunted 05:24
In a frozen corner of the world An ice cold winter engulfs the land Home to an eerie, looming, vast mountain of the dead Those who venture there are never to be seen again Coming upon the ever waiting dark bed of death A place never to be seen by any who would come out alive Only myth could be the one to explain this habitat of the afterlife Mystery will forever enshroud Any understanding of the now profound Greater region that bares the mark of pure disillusion Though some seek the glory of the climb Determined yet having no idea of what they might find What awaits Will be the hand of fate It waits Is what will remain here In the dark Of the nights cold embrace (It's cold embrace) Entities will find them They await Never to be withholding the possible carnage that makes this place well known To those who would dare knock upon the doorstep of this frigid hell Patiently waiting for those who would dwell Enter if you must but know this a place no one can trust Choosing to allow yourselves to be near the end’s icy touch It reaches forth to all who wander within this realm of never ending death Always haunting, grasping, keeping their helpless souls It reaches forth to all who wander within this realm of never ending death Blurred images discovered on the camera of one of the travellers showed strange glowing orbs Which nearby residents accounted for Each had seen these bright orange spheres in the sky, but what were they and why? Murder ruled out, no extra tracks were found Only the victims could see that which once was here Signs of radiation discovered on every single body prone Nothing from our world could have inflicted the chaos that arose What on Earth made its presence known? Portals from a strange dimension may have appeared Though that which came remains a mystery Or was it a spirit of the trees? These pour souls and the evil that unfolded are bound in secrecy Never to be released from the pages of history These pour souls and the evil that unfolded are bound in secrecy Never to be released Don’t go into the darkness unprepared Don’t go into the darkness unprepared, oh Don’t go into the darkness unprepared Don’t go into the darkness unprepared

The world needs a change, the ultimate sacrifice For a chance to be saved from all the bullshit and the lies You have all been warned, this is far from the last time It seems that death is the only way to sever ourselves from regulation This needed end is for your life How can we find salvation, when evil is leading us in the wrong fucking direction? How can we find redemption if our lives negate it? Feed and populate the slave machine; dominated Such a fate pushed onto an unknowing society Knowledge torched for an imaginary friend yet they claim sobriety You have all been brainwashed, made to believe that which isn't real To go beyond that which hasn't been seen, just to find what lies at the edge Drudging along with no pride, the tormentor becomes the crucified Harbouring an evil so pure, so disgustingly divine (so disgustingly divine) Our world is fucked up and torn You will only see your end at the hands of what you mourn Truth is in the eye of the beholder, even if not conventionally correct Through desecration we have been moulded To raise and leave our young in a hell not of their own creation A race held back to be tried, tested and destroyed As we poison the hearts of men We try to shatter the minds of Gods (We try to shatter the minds of Gods) Shatter their minds And so we show no mercy to all these pigs in the pens To every shepherd and his lap dog created by men You are forever confined, kept here to die In a place that if you could leave, you would never return In this place where we're all doomed; you would leave them here to burn So let's get to the point Your life should make your stomach turn, and you should not exist upon this earth Spread across the land like flames, with no end in sight Leaving a vast hope for judgement day All who realise will witness the lust for death We created this wasteland to be our tomb Now the world around us begins to decay, wishing to choke the life out of it's last prey Feel the air leave your lungs as life escapes though you pray for an end to the suffering As your last breath leaves you, there is no place left for vice or virtue As your last breath leaves you, there is no place left for vice or virtue

There's an undeniable degree of narcissism in the human designation of dominant species A disgusting entitlement calling for all the wealth and admiration that can be given Completely obsessed with the superficiality shoved down our throats; it becomes our vision The way you perceive the world around, malformed by quantity, destroys your quality What use is logic and reason if an entire race is afraid of every other individual person? With this veil draped over the world no longer seems a threat With this fabrication reaching every corner that world seems offset We’re all living inside our own hell A hell for a self loathing race A hell for a self loathing race A hell for a self loathing race A hell for a self loathing race Locked within our own torment that we force upon ourselves Not a single generation learns after what has befallen their ancestors who came before them A consistent fuel for the everlasting hatred bred for a world so apparently elegant yet so dark and cold Deceiving faces telling lies to each other for some malignant hope of a better life Sensory deprivation, not a single thing will ever be seen, heard, tasted or felt Not even the putrid stench that pours forth from this hostility will be able to be smelt (And it's all for wealth) In a world shrouded by such censoring, all are methodically groomed from birth (To kill the Earth) Taught to follow, grown up hollow, never step out of line Stay within the construct so that you may keep your worth alive Their minds encased in a state of slumber, vessels moving on external command Not aimless but futilely hopeful to the point of nearing insanity firsthand Mouths open wide, prepared to accept anything they're convinced they need to survive this life Shackled together at the feet and neck, yet can not feel the vice-like grip tighten Not unlike the imperceptible chains that bind them to needing salvation The ones who provide them a sanctuary to reside in their minds Whilst endlessly butchering them in the name of profit and a false design To take their final breath Is it worth it? (Is it worth it?) (Is it worth it?) Unrivalled malice flowing from the hearts of men Feeling the need to exercise their wrathful intent Destructive like nothing that has come before them And after they perish no heaven lies at the end A universe without humanity is a universe cleansed Cleanse the universe of humanity Rid it all of the chains of suffering Cleanse the universe of humanity Rid it all of the chains of suffering

Malignant entity; hand in hand with death Created a God to ease the guilt of all our ills Created a Devil to take the blame for all our sins An imaginative safety blanket for when we cease to exist It seems living as who we are has no more meaning There's nothing that shows stronger when we give up so easily Burned away into the void's endless days With only a cynical hope to remain A maddening infection to the brain Existing solely in the imagination And with this virus we are broken And with this illness we are gone We are broken, we are gone Minds lost to the madness within Never to return to what they held at the beginning So deluded in our quests to be known by name You do not see the truth of our submissive plague Birthing our defenceless offspring into life as slaves Trading their lives away One step closer to satisfaction One step further for gratification One step closer to satisfaction One step further for gratification All were basking in the overconfidence and selfishness that sees these acts as divine But now we've had enough, it's time for the machine to die Because you've finally realised you now mean nothing more than a lie Here we lay; aware of the coming pain Pleading for God to take us away Yet there is no answer to our shame (to our shame) Even for those who do not believe An urge to find out why goes on Searching what feels like forever and a day For that last caress of death's embrace Fanatical devotees consistently falling to their knees Shouting to the heavens Crazed and full of a life of the wrong kind Rioting with an endless frenzy in the streets With this faith we aren't chosen In this place, oh, we are broken It is not until the world goes to war yet again This time with destruction at the touch of their fingertips That a means to an end finally becomes reality Melted, imploded by the searing heat Region after region of the Earth bombarded over and over again There will be no safe places left after this Cracked and deformed are the spirits that dwell within Just the same as what lies beneath Cracked and deformed are the spirits that dwell within Just the same as what lies beneath Will the time come after so long in waiting? Billions of voices, hands and eyes to the skies, wanting Standing upon the barren ground they destroyed, yearning Crying, screaming, longing for the ultimate end Cracked and deformed are the spirits that dwell within Just the same as what lies beneath God; please The pathetic cries seem to go on forever into the sky When will these creatures realise and recede? That forever does not exist here nor in the heavens They are amiss (they are amiss) Missing from existence Even for those who do not believe They’ll still go on fucking crying out Searching what feels like forever and a day For that last caress of death's embrace Fanatical devotees consistently falling to their knees Shouting to the heavens oh lord take me Finding their feet only to keep begging Finding their feet only to keep begging Absolute insanity striving to always believe Even though they know their afterlife is a lie And yet hands remain together in disbelief Inevitably losing what remains of their sanity Leaving these last vestiges of clarity Praying, hoping, crying, begging endlessly Placing all their faith in nothing An uncontrollable sensation begins to take over These conscious minds able to hold themselves no longer Feeling our heels leave the ground beneath All look down to see they stay fixed, still standing on their feet Yet there remains this feeling... Disembodiment of guilty and innocent on a massive scale The final remnants of humanity torn from our bodies All souls will fade into nothing
