Nonprofundi [abridged]

Walking this path I find myself searching
For thoughts that are so profound
So complacent, these hollow screams
Seem so real but no one's listening
I care not how you feel
This shining moment
Duller by the day
Why does it take and never give me
That feeling of total bliss
This draining burden so neverending
But I must soldier on
Swilling to kill
The waste of my breath
Pain's one bitter pill

Train yourself to embrace the deception
Numb yourself to your tears
Every day adds to the frustration
The volume of reality
Fall apart on your own
Things are getting out of hand
Line up for the taste of depression
No surprise you feel so bad
Your decadence is the cause of desperation
Again you cover up what you despise
Demise meets with your fascination
What you hold as truth is lies

Heavens Vast [abridged]
04:16
|
|
||
|
Drop the flesh and soar above
Wings of air, ultimate love
Fear behind and fading fast
Endless time, heaven's vast
Pinpoint light growing strong
Clear of glare, wine and song
Floating soul allow eyes to see
The future pass by me
Picture fixed, regret sets in
Same old shit starts again
And you soar on oblivious
Or so it seems to the rest of us

Moment [abridged]

If I had someone to talk to
Maybe I wouldn't feel so low
If I had someone to talk to
Maybe there'd be a place to go
I feel so out of place
When I reach out it's just blank space
I am trying not to feel so down
It's so hard when you're not wanted around
I was feeling good and wanted to share
I picked up the phone and no one was there
I make do the best I can
All this rejection I try to understand
If I had someone to talk to
Maybe I wouldn't feel so low
If I had someone to talk to
Maybe there'd be a place to go
Is it me or is it them?
The feeling of depression sets again
Maybe I should take this all in stride
And not let it eat me up inside
I was feeling good and wanted to share
I picked up the phone and no one was there
Sometimes it's a hard thing to do
When all you've got is only you

Melt Into [abridged]
06:14
|
|

|
I stand motionless save for my eyes
Watching blow over, the sands of time
This ridiculous life, a meaningless lesson
When nowhere to be found, rhyme or reason
Please forgive my momentary lapse
I've had to pause to loosen my straps
Fade into the present, reliving my futures
Melt into the moment, surrounded by lures
I climb back now, to rejoin my being
Back to that uneasy restless feeling
Unto my head for lack of thought
As I ponder what time has wrought

Only a difference of faith
Has let this come to waste
No chance can we thrive
When we long for own demise
Self-denying prophecy
Years of conformity
Try as hard as you may
Wishful thinking won't make it go away
I hear your songs of praise
About how this world's seen better days
I can't help but agree
A sadness that's forever lasting
Forever lasting, sadness
|

The day the world will shift
Time will end for man adrift
On every corner there's a sign
Held by men
Who've seen the end of time
In the palms of their hands
Why shouldn't we believe
In what will come to be
Closer pull, parabolic path
Opposition, the earth it trembles
And it feel like there's something wrong
With the way we're living here
And it feels like I don't have long
When there's nothing left but fear
I find myself consumed
By this fantastic idea
That we will all be entombed
In contact with creation

The End of Truth
05:42
|
|
||
|
A drink for the lies
Aesthetic to the anger inside
Can you taste the blame
It goes down just the same
It's all you've ever known
Your true nature has been shown
Embrace the illusion
To fall in love with confusion
Talk is your disease
Action is the only cure
I can't take all your lies
The daggers in your eyes
Wanting me to bow down at your feet
In this game of your self-deceit
Lord I've tried but I can not play
In the end the soul you betray

You think you are forgiven
But that’s not reality
Can’t see past yourself
And see what’s meant to be
Your life is so empty
Emotions are barren and rare
Compromise is deadly
When you’re gasping for air
I can’t go there anymore
It’s not a place I want to be
So many wishes
That have cost me dearly
Why can’t I drink
From this well of despair
Can it be that same well
Is my lair
If that’s true it’s time to move
And I don’t have one thing to lose

Looking outside to find my way
To be alive, live for today
‘Cause deep in my heart, searching within’
I’m following my path to not let down again
Can’t explain if you’ve never been
You’re on your own my friend
Time moves on and so did I
Yeah, I follow the spark that shines
Each time I try to live for the light
I find I’m always far out of sight
For each time I’m awakened another way to see
Eyes wide open waiting for reality
Can’t explain if you’ve never been
You’re on your own my friend
Time moves on and so did I
Yeah, I followed the spark that shines

The feeling never did leave
When did you doubt your own beliefs?
Going back on your word
Your reality must be absurd
Your pride cometh before the fall
Standing behind your invisible wall
Your life, nothing, indifference to me
Open for all eyes to see
You could not wait so you got left behind
Misjudged emotion, these decisions have left you blind
I take you down off my shelf
And put you away for someone else
To see this all brings me disgust
You turn your back on those who mean so much
I find you so alone and empty
In someone else’s gallery
Time you found another to use

One of the greatest rock albums ever made. a desert island disc, for sure. have it on vinyl (of course i'm bragging), but a digital copy is always good for travelling, or come party time (don't want wine spilling all over a gem like this). probably doom metal's finest hour this side of black sabbath...
