I Used To Pray

The orphaned land, the forsaken land
The culmination
A withering wasteland
The abortus lives on
While the purebred slaughter one another
Everything is as it should be
The lie is kept a lie.
Lingering in the corners of your eyes
Where ghosts and nightmares dwell
Like a degenerate who hung himself
From the tallest tree in an unknown forest
Revealing the inward bleeding
Revealing the outward fortress
Looking for the easy slit throat
Afraid of the world
I used to pray to god as you do,
He does not care, he is evil
Pray to Death for deliverance
I promise, He will come for you
Unlike this god you pray to,
You are forsaken
"Behold the crucifix, what does it symbolise?
Pallid incompetence hanging from a tree"
Pray to Death for deliverance
I promise, He will come for you
Unlike this god you pray to,
You are forsaken,
Forlorn

Extinction...
Through the shadows I see
A place of love turned to bitter hate
This soil I stand on
The place of nourishment of the oblivious
The shadows rush past in a blur
Of happiness, of bitter shame
Bereavement of a certain one
Death of a mutual love
Bitterness of death, sweetened by release
Both of us replaced, reserved, thrown away
Remembered? Only she can say
But her lips are sealed tight
You rot in your shallow grave
I rot in the polluted air, you think me blessed
Take my place you died happy
This is merely the course of extinction
The shadows rush past in a blur
Of happiness, of bitter shame
Bereavement of a certain one
Death of a mutual love

Severed Tongue
05:28

The beckoning claw
The demoness demands an offering
You taught me how to kill myself
You taught me after you killed me
I surrender my soul
Dark clouds gather
The chorus of thunder shatters the glass sky
Extinction of all that mattered
Watching the beasts feed on my entrails
The clenched claw
The demoness accepts the offering
You taught me how to kill myself
You taught me after you killed me
I surrender my soul
The chorus of thunder still echoes in my head
The beasts are still feeding on my entrails
The demoness runs her talon along my skin
Splitting the flesh and letting the liquid flow
The outstretched talon
Carves her name in my chest
You taught me how to kill myself
You taught me after you killed me
I surrender my soul
I blink and run my fingers through the lacerations
This is the price for giving a helping hand
Dragged halfway to hell and left to decide, me or her...
Dragged halfway to hell and left to decide, me or her...
Dragged halfway to hell and I have decided
Fuck you I will live!
The forked tongue
Spoke of many calamities
Planted seeds of doubt in my mind. No more!
The tongue is severed
Burn in your self pity
Burn in your self pity
You will burn alone...

Helveien

This road is familiar
It worries me...
For all the faces I've seen in my deepest dreams lead me down the path
Still I follow on.
Nothing can stop it...
There is no respite from the endless trail
Down and to the North we go
Up ahead of me the gates loom
Down the underground trail
That only unfortunate and evil men have seen
The old and sick all around
Helheim is near
When I am gone
Remember me...
Of my smiles and laughter
Not my evil deeds
Shed no tears for me...
I am free of this world
Walking down the path
Helveien
Walking along a path blind
This valley is so deep
I cannot see anything...
The giantess Modgud
Guarding Gjallarbru
A frightening sight...
Have I wasted my life?
Have I wasted my love?
Can you give me another chance?
I have wasted life...
I have wasted love...
I don't deserve another chance...
The gates of Helheim loom
At the end of the underground trail
That only unfortunate and evil men have seen
When I am gone
Remember me...
Of my smiles and laughter
Not my evil deeds
When I am gone
Remember me...
Of my smiles and laughter
Not my evil deeds
Shed no tears for me...
I am free of this world
Walking down the path
Helveien
