SHOKRAN LYRICS

1. Interlude

[Instrumental]

2. Pray The Martyr

3. Ghost Ruins

4. Memories

5. Charon

Crimson blood flows in the dark
And thirst inside me dies away again
Crimson blood is the food of the gods
I taste it, forgetting of the time

My heart is black like night
There is no love, just evil anger
There is no light, only darkness
I don't care who is a friend and who is foe

Black wings bring me into the night
At sight of me people run away
I am the demon of the night, flying in the darkness mist
I am the eternal ranger, serving the dark

In my life I'm cursed and betrayed
By the people who were slaves to the lust
I was burnt at the ritual fire
And now I serve Satan, not at my will

I am his incarnation on the sinful land
I keep his hatred and dark inside me
I keep his strength, his thoughts and his power
It makes people terrified and startled

I make his thoughts come to life
Creating mortal misfortunes and evil on Earth
I am the demon of death, I am the dark prophet
infernal fate I bring to this world

You can't remain on your feet, there is no point in fight
Your only choice is to submit
Submit your fate, your bloody fate
that was to cross roads with me

You are all sinners, slaves to the vice
You will always moan in the lamps of the dark
Your world will fall to oblivion and mist
And evil and fear will rule here

6. Collapses

Drowning in ignorance of my thoughts
Approaching closer to the bottom
To the bottom of this gray world
To the bottom of this fallen world
I can see the light in the distance
The light that I needed
But I couldn't reach up to it
I wallowed in the mud
In the false and cruelty of mankind

All irreversible collapses
No hopes for a clean kind world
All decays
Decays from the inside
Look what we have done to our world

I'm drowning in oblivion of my thoughts
I'm already at the bottom
And the light shines dimly in the distance
The sea was filled with tears of children
River is full of people's blood
I'm already at the bottom
Sky is covered with dark clouds

All irreversible collapses
No hopes for a clean kind world
All decays
Decays from the inside
Look what we have done to our world

Drowning in ignorance of my thoughts
Approaching closer to the bottom
To the bottom of this gray world
To the bottom of this fallen world
I can see the light in the distance
The light that I needed
But I couldn't reach up to it
I wallowed in the mud
In the false and cruelty of mankind
All irreversible collapses

7. Original Sin

8. Crotalus

No life in earth, or air, or sky
The sunbeams, broken silently,
On the bared rocks around me lie,

Cold rocks with half-warmed lichens scarred,
And scales of moss; and scarce a yard
Away, one long strip, yellow-barred.

Lost in a cleft! ’Tis but a stride
To reach it, thrust its roots aside,
And lift it on thy stick astride!

For round thee, thrilling air and space,
A chattering terror fills the place!

A sound as of dry bones that stir
In the dead Valley! By yon fir
The locust stops its noonday whir!

The wild bird hears; smote with the sound,
As if by bullet brought to ground,
On broken wing, dips, wheeling round!

The hare, transfixed, with trembling lip

9. The Right To Sorrow

Take your fill of intimate remorse, perfumed sorrow,
Over the dead child of a millionaire,
And the pity of Death refusing any check on the bank
Which the millionaire might order his secretary to
scratch off
And get cashed.

Very well,
You for your grief and I for mine.
Let me have a sorrow my own if I want to.

I shall cry over the dead child of a stockyards hunky.
His job is sweeping blood off the floor.

Now his three year old daughter
Is in a white coffin that cost him a week's wages.
Every Saturday night he will pay the undertaker fifty
cents till the debt is wiped out.

The hunky and his wife and the kids
Cry over the pinched face almost at peace in the white box.

They remember it was scrawny and ran up high doctor bills.

10. In Theatre Of Illusions

In theatre of Illusions
no faces are seen
and you are dreaming
as if you have never been born
(Never been born)

In theatre of Illusions
heat lightning stories
streaming
with fleshless shadows
sparking in darkness
horsing around

like sleeping people
iurd are flying
(Bird are flying)
upon the top of the World
the melody of oncoming Fates
Is bleeding

my inner vampire
awakened
by the bloody dawning

leeching
with soul
in Hope
maybe
all of this
is not vainly

In theatre of Illusions
heat lightning stories
streaming
with fleshless shadows
sparking in darkness
horsing around
like sleeping people
Bird are flying
upon the top of the World
the melody of oncoming Fates
Is bleeding
leeching with soul in Hope
Maybe

11. Supreme Truth

12. Sands Of Time

13. Punishment

All your life being on a surface
You propelled the others.
You were too weak to refuse.
You left your daughter and sucked up to the top-brass.
You were breaking your spine ignoring the wish to breath.
You dreamed to be the greatest actor
But the only role you have
Is to be the shit rotting from the inside.
Get on your knees, Get your head up
Squeeze desires into the fist
Let them be the burden
With which you can destroy walls and barriers
Go straight ahead, follow your dream
follow your Soul
Break the jaws of those who dares to argue back with you
Crush the bones and break the joints of those who tried to stop you.
It’s not scary to be mistaken
It’s not fatal to lose
There is something more aggravative than the lie and even theft,
Something more wretched than killing and the death.
Indifference

14. Dark Desert

15. The New Battalions
