Blind Traquility
Blind TraquilityBlind Tranquility Subservient shadows Hide the eyes of conscious Broken memories Of a dream once known as life Break these veins and know The master wields the knife In Blind Tranquility Self fulfilling prophecy The blind leading the blind In dark tranquility Reach beyond Your self serving perspective Unleash this blackened grip Give life back to a dying world In blind tranquility

Orodruin
OrodruinThe fires rise high Above the clouded night Reminding all of He whom has no fate Those who look upon The face of darkness Return a shade Of who they were Immortal Relentless Formless inhuman The idol of evil Shadows that stir Shadows that freeze You in dreams of terror Stirring in the fires of Orodriun Orodruin, rising from the blackened night Bringing hell to earth Bringing death and darkness Above all All will be reforged In the fires of Orodruin

Shadows On The Wall-
Shadows On The Wall-Shadows on the Wall Shadows deep within your conscious emerge In a dream like state from beyond the wall of sleep With eyes of fire they dance before their horned crown king Your self righteousness consumed in an inferno As emotions stir within an otherwise stone dead shell As dreams turn to nightmare storms gather within Dark paths unfold In a dream you can't turn away As in life Fading shades of grey Forgotten truths Shadows on the wall Your self righteousness consumed in an inferno As emotions stir within an otherwise stone dead skin As dreams turn to nightmare storms gather within Locked in a web of deceit Into the grave.. darker still deep Within the shadows lie Turn your back, ascend to the throne Dark paths unfold In a dream you can't turn away As in life Fading shades of grey Forgotten truths Shadows on the wall Malignant timbers reach Arms twisting in the moonlight The mist settles over forgotten graves As turn your back, and ascend to the throne Turn your back on all you've ever known The kingdom of the night veils this forgotten World forever To the night you pledge your life As you take your final breath

Burning Embers
Burning EmbersBurnt Embers Burnt embers smoulder Visions in the night Fires keep the cold at bay Fuel the endless void within To live as one Or die alone Crushed beneath the burden of survival Lost balance consciousness consumed in voracity A cancer unseen growing from within obscene Lust for power a Meaningless projection of an non existent soul Narcesistic pride, short sighted unaware Ignorant desperation feeds the delusion Dragging the weak minded into it's web of confusion Lust for power a Meaningless projection of an non existent soul Life will go on Leaving us behind As burnt embers Ashes in the wind Our lives are burning embers Flames rising from the dark Our dreams and visions Burning a way a path so we can remember

Acquiescent Discord
Acquiescent DiscordAcquiescent Discord The fallen They speak to you The voices of the dead They cry out To warn you But you won't turn away Your fate Embraced There is no turning back Order and Chaos Have become one in the same Servitude in Dissolution A killing field for the insane A fascicle illusion To be mocked by the damned In Obedient Disarray There is no turning back As the memories fade Become one with the Earth Bring a new day

You Will Live With This CurseYou Will Live With This Curse.. Burn in your golden hell Living and dying on this battleground With the weight of the world on your back You can't escape your fate Face your destiny You will live with this curse Endlessly tirelessly The blood flows into the setting sun Every new day Another day the battle rages on Living and dying on this battleground Black smoke rises from their towers Blades cut through the dark in the twilight Life and death are the same looking back You will live with this curse Black smoke rises from their towers Blades cut through the dark in the twilight Life and death are the same looking back You will live with this curse Face your destiny You will live with this curse The battle rages on from here to the horizon Living and dying in this wasteland You will live with this curse The battle rages on from here to the horizon Living and dying in this wasteland You will live with this curse

Wanton Reflection
Wanton ReflectionWanton Reflection Their shadows crawling across the windows Reaching in Reaching out To the moonlit sky above Monsters living in the Shadows of our mind Hiding from our conscience Unsparing reflection Monsters living in the Shadows of our mind Wanton reflection Bleeding ocean Drink the sacrament Survival instinct A rite of passage Balance was learned In some distant dream Almost forgotten But new roots take hold In some distant dream The roots take hold Wanton Reflection Unsparing Unyielding Wandering through The corridors of the mind

Vas Mortis
Vas MortisVas Mortis Imprisoned in a long forgotten cell I look down on the world I left behind Written, another page in the book of life Take heed the writings on the wall you find Another mind free from their spell Another soul hiding from their watchful eyes Emerging from forgotten shades of grey But still hidden in the shadows.. of their lies I speak to you from distant past In dreams we have walked the same paths I bid you take heed the master's call To avenge our beloved fallen To look upon her face again Shattered by the final scream I see her murder in their eyes And crush all those who share the sin Her shadow spreads across the land With blackened wings flying free Her words written in darkest blood For all of those to see

Archenon's Deceit
Archenon's DeceitArchenon's Deceit Deceit.. Trust in none Blood red hands Contempt The sings of every man Their gods will fall Their banners will rot As their bodies Return the earth Once a creator Civilization entwined with A way of life All things come to an end In the shadows familiar Hands break these veins Poisoned dreams bring memories Shattered, long lost lives Now in darkness a pact is forged My enemies will never see the light of day In blindness they took from me In blindness the darkness consumes In blindness they took from me In darkness their final hours consumed

The Result Of Revolution
The Result Of RevolutionThe Result of Revolution We've found ourselves again On the frozen battlefield Bodies piled and burned Ice melts a scene surreal Final moments of sunlight Reflecting on the ice Reminiscing of a world long passed Charging toward the night Nothing in life is promised To find our way back Life will start anew Nothing in life is given Life taken for granted Fades into obscurity So many lives wasted To return to Where we were So many lives lost In the name of Their revolution

1 Memories Of Bloodshed
1 Memories Of BloodshedA choice is made The oath is sealed In blood, sweat and tears Your back is breaking From the burden As you struggle through the years The difference between you and them Are the battles looking back You’ve worked so hard Just to be ashamed Of a truth that now appears The lies are done, now it’s time to show them what they fear Your vision’s blurred from the lies they feed you You will know our pain Your mind is numb from the words that bind you But you will feel our wrath Burning inside is the force that will drive you To break free To bury them They will know our wrath

Betrayal and Massacre in the Shadows
Betrayal and Massacre in the ShadowsFuture project with songs featuring Bryan Draffen on guitar and vocals and other kindred spirits. Will range from mellow to explosive. This is explosive. Betrayal and Massacre in the Shadow of the fire The lord our master is forsaken Bleeding his valorous blood unto the night Leaving his reign untaken Behold insanity Loosen the reigns of reality Blackened hands that once gripped The holiest sacrament Sacred bleeding heart of your lord Blackened the hands that once gripped.
