BENIGHTED IN SODOM LYRICS

1. The Shepherd And The Atheist

Time has a way
Of reflecting itself
In the mirrored haze of the past
Perished in the coldness of my dead eyes distant
and dreaming in fields

"I beg of you, come closer to me
why must thou hide, if thou art supreme?"

Perhaps to hide the emptiness
Also distilled in me

I was never made in any fucking image

That which I was,
Cursed with a human heart
Though I never asked to know you, you lay here with me

"I beg of you, come closer to me
Close enough to feel the spear in your side..."

2. Fountain Of Lies

3. The Wizard Behind The Curtain

4. Discarded Halos

I planted my seed in this land of discarded halos
Like you, I sacrificed everything for clarity
The vision was too much for my human eyes
And I was transformed into the beast I sought
Life is bleeding in my hands
All that remains is the mask
And the mask wears me

5. Uncomfortable Serenity (The Opiate)

Can you feel me?
I am shadows behind you
That were never there
Footsteps crackling pale bleached bones
On a vast, white beach

Uncomfortable serenity...
I am thy enemy...

That razor is for you
To justify your sins
Come and find me
In these strange, sick fields where I lay
That were never there

Silence

Uncomfortable serenity...
Unfathomable misery...

6. Atrophy

Let us look
Into each other
And see as God sees
The waters of life ran polluted
with the excrement of mankind

I remember this place
I have passed through here once before
The footprints in the sand...
They are my own...
The ones that parallel next to me
They are but mine as well...

I approached a grave
filled with photographs
and complex symbols
so familiar to me...
And at last I am awake
And I am in Hell
My soul is in Hell
To these things
I (They) will burn

The horizon extends to eternity
But strangely I am at peace
The burdens on my soul
Intensify and Crush
Crush
Crush me...

I remember this place
I have passed through here once before
The footprints in the sand
They are my own
The ones that parallel beside me
They are mine as well

So familiar

Let us take a look into each other
And see as 'God' sees
The waters of life run polluted
With excrement of mankind
Crush me...
(Oh I remember this place....)
Crush me....
(Once before... and I will be here again....)
Crushing me...
(The footprints in the sand...)
They are my own

They are unforgiven
They are mine

7. Euthanasia
