Tracklist

  • 1. Dripping Through (instrumental) (01:36)
     copy
    instrumental
  • 2. Mirror Confrontation (07:36)
     copy
    Two shadows in the night, forever apart,
    Hiding from each other, with burdens on their hearts.
    One walks in silence, with tears in his eyes,
    The other in darkness, where desolation lies.

    They pass by each other, in corridors cold,
    With secrets unspoken, and with souls sold
    One seeks the daylight, the warmth of the sun,
    The other finds relief where shadows run.

    They long to break free, from this perpetual dance,
    But fear holds them back, from taking that chance.

    Two souls in torment, in a sorrowful trance,
    Bound by despair, their painful romance.
    In the depths of night, they whisper their fears,
    Afraid of truth, and drowning in tears.

    One dreams of freedom, from the chains of despair,
    The other of peace, in the silent night air

    Two men stand face to face, their reflections align,
    Realizing the torment, was theirs to define

    They pass by each other, in corridors cold,
    With secrets unspoken, and with souls sold
    One seeks the daylight, the warmth of the sun,
    The other finds relief where shadows run.

    In the mirror of pain, I finally see,
    Those two shadows that fought, were always just me.

    They pass by each other, in corridors cold,
    With secrets unspoken, and with souls sold
    One seeks the daylight, the warmth of the sun,
    The other finds relief where shadows run.

    Two men no longer, only one with soul torn apart,
    Reunited in sorrow, will healing ever start?
  • 3. Abysmal (06:36)
     copy
    In the glass, I see a worn and true soul
    A heart too kind, a hue too blue to console
    They took, they tore, left scars unseen
    In shadows, I wept, a broken dream's din
    By the sea, where echoes sway
    I sought a solace to light my way

    In waves, I glimpsed an eerie plea
    A chance for change, a call to be free

    Into the abyss, I dared to wade,
    Where hope and despair in darkness laid
    A creature arises, a mirror's reflection
    My own demise, a cruel deception

    Beneath the moon, I forged a pact with the tide
    Ventured forth, no more secrets to hide

    The sea, it whispered, tales untold
    Of a man too good, of a heart never cold, never cold

    By the shore, where secrets are kept
    I faced the depths, I faced my debt
    The waves, they roared, a mournful song
    I kept this for myself too long

    Beast arose from depths unknown,
    Strange specter, a face, my own.
    Metaphors entwined, a dance of fate,
    In drowning depths, I met my date
    The sea's embrace, a final home,
    Where shadows and light forever comb
    The heart that bled, the soul that yearned,
    In salty tears, our roles reversed

    By the waves, my spirit swayed,
    A final bow, a price well paid, paid

    The tides, they wept, a mournful cry,
    As man as metaphor said goodbye
    Beneath the waves, in silent sleep,
    I found the rest I longed to keep.

    A truth laid bare and there is nothing to lose
    A good man already lost, ready for enternal snooze
  • 4. Taste of Death (12:04)
     copy
    I built my days on broken stone,
    Each task for them, a throne of thorns.
    I fed the wolves to guard their gate,
    A feast of me, served up to fate.

    Their smiles grew wide, their bellies full,
    While I withered, empty, null.
    But the mirrors lie, and the echoes fade,
    Their praise like ghosts, my trust betrayed.

    I see their hands, I hear their call,
    Yet feel the weight of giving it all.
    Each time I bend, each time I break,
    Myself is the only thing I take.
    I gave my hunger, gave my thirst,
    Fed their joys, but drank the worst.
    Each tender act, a twisted lash,
    Binding me to the broken past.

    I gave my heart, i gave my soul,
    Now i’m a shadow, not a whole.

    I HATE THIS SHELL, THIS HOLLOW FRAME,
    I’VE BURNED MY LOVE, I’VE LOST MY NAME.
    NO PEACE TO FIND, NO REST, NO BREATH,
    JUST THIS POISONOUS TASTE OF DEATH.


    Their laughter burns, it stokes the flame,
    And I am left to bear this shame.
    The love I gave, it left me blind,
    To the hate for them that grew inside.
    But this hatred blooms, and turns its gaze,
    Back to myself, through endless haze.
    A cursed cycle, a cruel refrain,
    Of selfless loss and endless pain.

    I HATE THIS SHELL, THIS HOLLOW FRAME,
    I’VE BURNED MY LOVE, I’VE LOST MY NAME.
    NO PEACE TO FIND, NO REST, NO BREATH,
    JUST THIS POISONOUS TASTE OF DEATH

    Taste of death
    Taste of death
    I gave too much, now nothing’s left,
    A barren land, a hollow chest
    I can't forgive, I can't endure,
    This rotting life, this wretched core

    The ones I served, the ones I fed,
    Are ghosts too, in my own head
    No love for them, no love for me,
    Just bitter winds of endless apathy

    And now I stand, a hollow king,
    With nothing left, not anything
    If death’s a door, then let it be,thats only gift
    I give to me
  • 5. Burning Tears (07:38)
     copy
    Anger, Pain, Sadness, Despair

    I try to scream, but no sound escapes
    A voiceless agony in all it's shapes.
    I am the silence that echoes within,
    The void where life cannot begin

    A ghost of a man, lost to the void,
    In this despair, left destroyed.

    I feel like a river, choked by the sand
    Once a lifeline, now a parched land
    I seek to ease the thirst of those in need,
    But my own source is empty, my strength isn't freed.

    I feel like a river, choked by the sand
    Once a lifeline, now a parched land
    I seek to ease the thirst of those in need,
    But my own source is empty, my strength isn't freed.

    Tears falls like acid, burning the soul
    Hope escapes through the wounds they control
    Each drop like a knife, cutting deep inside
    Leaving me empty, with no place to hide

    Anger, Pain, Sadness, Despair
    Anger, Pain, Sadness, Despair

    Forgive me, I’ve let our future turn to cold, lifeless stone
    Turning once-clear paths into a place where I stand alone
    Alone
  • 6. Intruder (06:06)
     copy
    From lust to possessions
    And I never had enough
    As much as I have
    I want more, but I have nothing

    Intruder, to myself
    Intruder, in my own skin
    Forever

    When I think, everything is clear
    I wake up in the bowels of nothingness
    Stunted, helpless and powerless
    I leave myself, I leave everything

    Why I ask myself questions
    When I don't have answers

    Intruder, to myself
    Intruder, in my own skin
    Forever

    In solitude I scratch my skin
    Blood shed, fills the void
    Now, when everything is in its place
    The blood of the desperate remains
    And I disappear

    Intruder, to myself
    Intruder, in my own skin
    Forever
  • 7. The Fallen One (07:12)
     copy
    Giants around me share tales of their might,
    The taller I stand, the more they block my sight.
    A distant pedestal, a place I crave,
    But each step I take, it begins to cave

    Clear eyes clouded by the view up high,
    Unready, I climb toward a darker sky

    As the path pulls me higher, pressure grows,
    It shrivels my form, my spirit exposed

    I fall before wings even learn to fly,
    The ground has never felt harder, nor so dry

    Broken, incomplete, I feel hollow inside,
    Empty as a coffin awaiting its guide.

    Am I the next to fall, to break, to descend?
    Pulled under by weight I can no longer defend.

    I've dug myself down into this hole so deep,
    Unsure if I’m hiding or finding peace in sleep.


    I fall before wings even learn to fly,
    The ground has never felt harder, nor so dry
    Yet the hole in this earth feels warmer than air,
    Inviting me to lie down forever there.
  • 8. Showcase (08:04)
     copy
    Beneath the cold, unyielding glass, we stand,
    A gallery of souls shaped by unseen hands
    Each breath a trial, each heartbeat a test,
    A stage where sorrow outlasts the rest

    Joy, fleeting as a moth’s brief flight,
    Flickers and fades in the crushing night
    He weight of despair cuts deeper than bliss,
    For in our torment, we know what we miss

    We are one in this prison, bound by design,
    Showcase of mortals, resigned to decline
    The wounds of anger, the scars of regret,
    Mark the moments we’ll never forget
    We chase the light, but it slips away,
    Lost in the trials of another day of gray
    We are one in this prison, bound by design
    Showcase of mortals, resigned to decline
    We are like puppets, bound in shame,
    Living each day with meaningful blame

    In this display, we all remain,
    Bound to the cycle of joy and pain
    No lasting warmth, no peace to claim,
    Only the shadows that speak our name

    To fade in grief, to crumble with years,
    Drenched in the flood of unending tears

    And when we accept it, as broken we will fall,
    The end will greet us, the same for us all

    We are one in this prison, bound by design,
    Showcase of mortals, resigned to decline
    No glory in age, no victory won,
    Just shadows remain when all is done
    We are all the same
    Waiting our end in that only frame
  • 9. Alone (06:52)
     copy
    Silent Days
    Days of emptiness
    Bloody tears in my eyes

    I'm victim of this life
    There is no helping hand
    I move like a cancer
    Two steps forward one step back

    I am alone
    With a bitter taste in my soul
    I am alone
    With a bitter taste of my soul

    Can you hear me?
    Can you hold me?
    Can you feel me?
    Why are you hiding?

    I can't look at myself
    Every minute seems like failure
    My feet feels heavier
    As I fall through the ground

    I am alone
    With a bitter taste of my soul
    I am alone
    With a bitter taste of my soul

    Alone !
  • 10. Torn Shadows (09:36)
     copy
    Hands once held so tight
    Now lost to endless night
    Shattered dreams
    Broken light
    Friendship fades from sight

    Eternal rain of sorrow
    No more time to borrow
    Lonely path
    No tomorrow
    Grief-filled heart
    Hollow

    Torn shadows
    Ripped apart
    Bleeding wounds
    Bleeding heart
    Life divided by fate's cruel art
    Tragedy from the start

    Memories now just pain
    Dark shadows leave a stain
    Echoes cry in vain
    Life’s bond snapped
    Slain

    Whispers of a lost embrace
    Tears on a trembling face
    Forever longing
    Empty space
    In memory's cruel race

    Torn shadows
    Ripped apart
    Bleeding wounds
    Bleeding heart

    Nameless graves in the dark
    Two souls left a mark
    Silent screams
    Cold and stark
    In sorrow's endless bark
