BENIGHTED - Avgrundshjärta

Like Draperies Of Night Itself

Like draperies of night itself 
clad in a veil of unwanted sorrow 
Thorns ripped through the blankets 
furled the winds in a magic creation 
brought back by war against itself 
Day passings shaded beneath 
Forgotten weapons re-furnished 
The night is unwanting 

Your thorns in my bleeding 
crown me falsely once again 
Thoughts and shattered dreams 
layed down the law within 

How can you veil the night 
with your sickness 
and let it speak your sorrow 
through waves beyond your thoughts 
Voice of darkness from within 
blessed me from anything real 
so much silence 
in the shadows within 

Voice of inhuman isolation 
hover through the air 
furling in a wave 
like draperies of night itself 

At least I never veiled the night 
with my human sickness 
nor gave it voice for my darkness within 
Im poisoned to believe 
in the antidote of my tongue 
Tasting something else 
Like draperies of night itself

Avgrundshjärta

I nattens svarta helvete 
Där dödens lie oss skördar 
Sänk mig ner i intets svalg 
liv eller död, saknar mening 

Alla tankar dör, allt hopp försvinner 
Världar krossas i tanke och öga 
När smärtan är som svårast, i spegeln du ser 
Här är döden ingen hemlighet mer 

Ta mig till ditt rike, ditt svarta hav 
Tankar förgiftar viljan att känna 
Låt mörkret flöda, ingen tanke kvar 
Tomt och evigt dött, här föds inga nya - liv! 

Kom död!

Vibration Of My Thoughts

The vibration of my thoughts 
dance within the blade 
held against my skin 
to procreate myself 

cut and release the blood 
which has boiled for so long 
only from that sound beneath 
I vibrate, feel and believe 

The strengthful throw of a sun 
within my eyes across the sky 
lost and washed away 
in the sea on the other side 

wherein I drowned as mortal fools 
and left the sense of spirits 
to forgive the miracle of answer 
and die within this hour 

I strangled the access of breath 
and forgot the kingdom of will and power 
I slit my wrists and lost control of my hands 
as they fell with the blood I released 

I was given spirits that shine 
but I blackened them 
and summoned up the fortification 
of my beloved solitude 

I hate these trees 
standing as the watchers 
of the universal wall 
at the gate of my mischief 

Everything dies 
everything fades away 
nothing remains 
my world decays
