far beyond appolyons lair
across the sea of pestilence
a sound of grim andantes blair
pale orbs glide through remnants
a planned utopia now in shards
frostwork lines once scorching flames
bullet hole piercings stop beating hearts
though sounds of beating forever remain
wraiths will pass
and the days are bleak
a blessing of strength
is promised to the weak
a cephalic slaying
upon whom they shall seek
chance of penitence
before the pendulum swings
the deads residence
buried in collapsed machines
far beyond catastrophic
a festivity of demise
rise of the prophets
spirits sounding battlecries
a blood drawn map will
guide their way
to the chosen ones
staggering and decayed
no air fills their lungs
flee for safety but its too late
their judgement has ensured ill fate
beg for forgiveness it wont pass
take one more breath for its the last
clouded eyes will walk their way
into the knife of a vengeance embraced
a relentless assault upon the wicked hearts
a relentless assault upon the wicked hearts
sinners unto broken paths
acts of fury relieves this wrath
widows and children weep of their loss
these acts of duty formed of just cause
apparitions retreat to the violet sky
hearing nothing more of their endless cries
a baleful aura in the graveyard of broken gears
sounds of steps breaking silence into fear
they tried to hide and only ended up slain
a massacre repeated by those unchained

    General Comment:This song kinda sucks at the beginning, then gets good when he sings. It's almost worth it to hear him sing.

    This is about an unwanted, catastrophic death.

    General Comment:I'm pretty sure i have the meaning of this song.
    I think it talks about war and how a paradise city (utopia) was destroyed because of this war. Innocent people were killed. "before the pendulum swings
    the deads residence
    buried in collapsed machines" This means that the dead will rise again to avenge the city. And the rest of the song i think basically talks about survivors making there way to safety but then die. lol.

    General Comment:they could be writing about anything haha.
    Saw them live though, I must admit the whole melodic part in the beginning is nice, but when they play it live I get sleepy :\
    But other than that this is a good band!
    but it sounds like they're talking about our fate, or the future when everyones suffering? I don't know.

    General Comment:it almost seems random. but it could be describing an event in which robots slaughter humans.another thing i think it could be about is a city that crumbled,the way he talks about gears and there being an aura,the 'graveyard' being indicative of the idea that it all fell apart.the song gives some notions of fear or respect for metal,or in a gore-like sense the epicly irate dementia of absolute fear.but im sure this song is fucking epic.the lyrics are intense.a 'wraith' or an 'apparition' are alike words that describe ghosts or strange appearences.its just describing a massacre.and being all gorey and stuff.
