Broken
words I say
Destroy you again
And all there'll be
Is hurt
I'll leave you to
die...
To see
To want
To feel
The need
To feed
The hate
And medicate
Everything in
Me...
Broken
I will
Take Everything away
And all there'll be
Is pain
You'll leave me to
die...
To
see
To want
To feel
The need
To feed
The hate
And medicate
Everything in
You...
Alternative/working title(s): 'Grogg' (drink) and 'Vodka'. Previously one of the band's faster songs, but as the song grew it slowed down. The early versions had an extended intro. Also marks the entry of a bassplayer as the beginning of the outro is played solely by bass. Has not recieved any significant changes since it was finished in mid 2003.
Your
touch
On my pale skin
Your gaze
At me sends me
To where I want to be
Displaced from sin and pure pain
Until
our fate is sealed
In the hours of dawn,
Despite the ironies of love
You'll find me here, waiting for more
My
eyes's are
Failing
To see
The pleassure in you
When you leave me
Displaced from all that you are
Until
our fate is sealed
In the hours of dawn,
Despite the ironies of love
You'll find me here, waiting for you
Alternative/working title(s): 'B' and 'New B'. Somewhat related to the song called 'old B' as the chorus of that song was intended to be used in Displaced, however, those ideas were scrapped and the song turned into a song entirely of its own. Written in 2003, among the first songs the band finished totally.
The
ruin of some
In my hands trembling
My mind's limitless
Concepts of death
They're tailored by you
For me to leave this hateful place
Faded
into only memories of pain
What you once entombed now will remain
Freed alone
The
cruel inside
In the depth of sadness
There's a reason for everything
In me and in you
Your's was making me leave
This hateful being I was born into
Faded
into only memories of pain
What you once entombed now will remain
Faded
into only memories of pain
Faded into only remnants of me
But what you once entombed now will remain
Freed alone
Alternative/working title(s): 'Vin' (wine), 'Belletine' and 'Days of Pain'. The first song the band finished for its current demo. Written in late 2002. Originally ended with the intro riff, but the band settled for the current ending where the acoustic guitar plays the chorus chords. Lyrically the song has changed several times, prior to the demo recording in 2004 the song received a complete lyrical overhaul because of general dissatisfaction. The meaning of the song, however, has not changed significantly.
Tell
me, trusted someone
Something I'll value in grief
One dusty evening in my
Dead garden of love
The
shame of failing again
To escape to where I belong
On my knees...
Show
me eternal love
When you've left me bleeding
Impaled on my idea
Of eternities with you
Dying
so slowly inside myself
Calling for you to appear
In...
My
dominion of filth (I begged for)
My existence of loss (I mourned for)
The scar that I cannot hide
Inside without you
My
dominion of filth (I begged for)
My existence of loss (I mourned for)
My dominion of grief (that gave me)
The scar that I cannot hide
Inside without you
Alternative/working title(s): 'Öl' (beer). The last song for the first era to be finished. One of the heaviest songs the band has made to date. Also one of the more complicated as it features several weird time signatures and changes as well as a complicated structure with breaks and shifts. Written in mid 2003 to early 2004. Once it was finished it recieved only few changes prior to the demo recording.
These
eternal wounds
Of the secret garden
My vial of tears
In the hand of grief
Solemn
tranquillity
Within her gaze of mystery
Quiet whispers
Fade to winter
Violence
This
buried heart
Cast in a case obscured
Within my every thought
From a lover's vacant tomb
Morose
tranquillity
Inside the maze of mystery
Disintergrate
My soul, my whole
Into darkness
Awakened
from rest
With the mark on the wrist
The bruise of the chain
From the garden of shame
For always and ever
To midnight nightmares
Through the sight
For
always and ever
To midnight nightmares
Through the sight
Through the heart
Alternative/working title(s): 'A', 'Makaron' and 'Makaron in A'. Originally a faster song but as the verse was built the song slowed down. Written in the fall of 2002 to the summer of 2003. Last riff in was the outro. Minor finishing touches were made during the demo recording in 2004, when the rhythmic part prior to the outro riff was changed into a more harmonic but less rhythmic style. Considered the flagship of all songs, always played last at gigs.
I don't want to die unchanged
I don't want to live... caged
I don't want to crave hate
I don't want to pray for love
That which stood up from the ground
Soon withered and died
Left empty in the cold
Like me, just like me
I don't want to see your joy
I don't want to live in pain
I don't want to crave relief
I don't want to pray for embrace
That which stood up from the ground
Soon withered and died
Left empty in the cold
Like me, just like me
In the periphery
I lie asleep
In the simplicity
Of obeying the fear that I feel
That which stood up from the ground
Soon withered and died
Left empty in the cold
Like me, just like me
Just like me.
The heart that beats in cold
Inside a chest so tight
Pain that drives us through the night
Falls around us
Past and present hurts
Echo between us both
Words you've said I've never fought with
Guarding the notion that I
Never brought the pain that drives me
Through the night onto myself
Past and present hurts
Echo between us both
And the mystery never dies
Where you went I'll never know
Inside this cast aside that never lies and never loves
Who'll know where I'll go
Alone and incomplete
Alone and incomplete
Past and present hurts
They resound in us
And where mystery never lies
Who you'll meet will not be me
And where you went I'll never know it and never know why
When you hid inside the dark
Alone and incomplete
