”Благоухание”
Are you there? I hope you can hear me.
I’ll wait. I’ve put two stones on my eyelids as you said.
I fell asleep and I can’t see anything. Are you there?
I don’t feel scared but I do feel alone.
Please, please let me know you’re there.
Please. I’m begging you I am so lost.
Please.
Angel
In the light
Please come
And save me.
Give me
Just one sign
I’m lost
And empty.
Blinding
Light as air
You can not
Save me.

The Battle of the Weak
02:52

”Видение красных огоньков”
Set these arrows on fire!
Bright as day,
Cold as night,
Sharp as teeth
Blades of steel will cut the flesh with ease
Cause some were never meant to live.
Misery of existence is all that they have…
Setting out on the quest
To chase those running away.
Don’t run, cause the torture will be worse
Come here…
Save yourselves!
(such a bad advice)
You are doomed,
You are cursed,
You are destined to fail,
You are nothing more than a moving material
Whose days are numbered, and you are running away?
Fools… Well, I’m glad you have hope…
I’ve abandoned mine and I’ve joined the legions
Now we ride night and day harvesting those like you.
There’s another one, were you trying to hide?
When you’re out of breath,
When your limbs get numb,
Lay onto the ground
And wait for me to come.
It will take no time; just prepare a dime
To secure your passage through the Styx
Have a good one, martyr, farewell…

Supplication / Sacrament

”Слышание голосов”
The visions of stagnation
The loss of dedication
The staging of submersion
The grade of reimbursion
Never-ending, self-inflicted
Harm, that we all enjoy
Burning incense ain’t gonna help the misery,
Sacrifices won’t affect the loss of innocence
Congregation
Re-ascension
Fornication
Procreation
We are waiting for a sign
Salt, dirt, bread, blood
Congregation
Re-ascension
Fornication
Procreation
Like father like son
As soon as the dust sets
There is one single ray that
Separates the earth and the sky.
The shadows are long and motionless,
The air is clean and full of this
Unsettling waiting for a sign.
The light, the dust, the soil that breaks wide open
The sweat, the tears, of those who tried to build and failed…
Creation
Tarnation
Resurrection
Isolation
Segregation
Exploitation
Condemnation
Immolation
Congregation
Re-ascension
Fornication
Procreation…

”Дмение”
In haze,
The steps retreat…
Confused in sorrow,
Blindsided and misled
I cannot follow
Someone as malevolent.
Running away when it gets dark…
Secretive
Negative
I swore to never open up to anyone again.
The time-consuming sacrifices,
The promises we couldn’t keep,
The trust…
I can’t believe it’s faded,
I can’t get a grip on mist
Concealed aggression
Reinforced frustrations
Ricocheting pain and fear
Off the walls of self-disgust
Was it naive of me
To think it could exist,
The happiness and peace

Torture Incantation
06:51

”Мокротная сладость”
Distant parent,
Long abandoned
Child that’s searching
In the dark.
Reinforced with
Silver crosses,
Helpless, hopeless
Fell apart.
Was it worth it,
Kiss and hurt it,
Smash and heal it,
Make it stop.
Free and trap it,
Beg to let it,
Have its ways and
Start the chase again.
You don’t know the fuck you want.
You will get what you deserve, and more:
I hope you choke on your own choices.
I’ll be praying,
I’ll be begging,
I’ll be hoping
I’ll be patient,
I’ll be silent,
I’ll be counting rosaries
On the ground
Around me
Pages turn
To fallen leaves
Thorns are made
For drawing blood
Question is, who’ll fall apart…
Let’s hope,
Let’s beg,
Let’s pray
Do as i say,
Do as i say,
Do as i say
Don’t ask,
Don’t dare,
Don’t touch
Repetition is key!
Hope they won’t draw
That warmth from your blood
Wallow in dirt
Praying they’ll stop
Smell of the roses,
Tears on the leaves and
Drops on the mosaic floor…
You’ve begged,
You’ve prayed,
You’ve hoped
Smashed your head against the floor
Didn’t ask,
Didn’t dare,
Didn’t touch
Trusted too much, what for,
Stared at the silent wet floor
Remember,
Repetition is key!
Where have they been all of this time,
Witnessing you getting lost.
Spreading your arms in the dark,
Thinking you’re hearing a ghost.
You / Are / The / Ghost

Self-Inflicted Martyrdom
02:49
|

”Левитация”
I confess!
Forever enslaved
By my own hate
Trapped in a room
(with) The one i can’t stand
One day it has to stop.
Trying my hardest and failing
Planning upfront and bailing
Seeing the darkness unveiling
Tying a rope to a railing
Clawing my eyes out every time I see this face appear
It’s oozing shit, without a reason I want to disappear
(I can’t) I cannot find a single thing I tolerate enough
I try to think of the good deeds, it feels just like a bluff
I cannot trust myself enough to talk to others too
Self-deprivation has been winning, telling me what’s ‘true’:
Worthless piece of shit
Angry fucking twat
Obsessive freak
Dysphoric maniac
Whose will to live still lingers…
(I am) Choosing for life,
Checking my time,
Wasted on strife
Heartache and grime;
Reasons to live,
Be more humane
To myself first:
No more pain.
