To Wander The Void (1995, 2009)

A million miles from everything the emptiness is everywhere
The lone and level sands stretch as far as I can see
Nothing but the hollowed eyes of skulls and ancient bones despair
Remains of those who wandered this wasteland vast before me

Fatigue and famine render every step a tribulation
Beneath the blistering sun sabulous winds just a mockery
Lost within an infinity of dust and desolation
The vultures circling overhead await my lonely expiry

Maintaining this course to nowhere I have traveled so far
Far beyond the valley's carnage and death's silent repose
Compelled to journey onward by the calling of the morning star
Haunted by visions and voices, memories or madness providence only knows

I can't remember when or how I'd first lost my way
Thirsting even a tear of solace knowing naught will ever come
Siren celestial have mercy on me allow my flesh into dust decay
And carry my soul far beyond this damned and forsaken kingdom

I fell to my knees as the last trace of strength slowly faded away
With stone in throat I knew I'd never reach the hallowed and promised land
I conceded my carcass a vulture's feast, my soul eternal umbrae
Once a king, now nameless, forgotten, swallowed by the seas of sand

Vast Oceans Lachrymose (1994, 2001)

Instrumental

The Drowning Years (2001)

These empty years, in sadness repose
What once were joys now have become sorrows

I drank them all away

Once, I held hopes, loves, and dreamsâ¦now theyâve sunken into the sea
And Iâve no one left to save me from drowning eternally

I drank them all away
I drank myself away

Sorrow Of The Angels (1994)

Heaven weeps with my sorrow
Through the cloudsâ veil of black lace
An infinity of angels
Share the tearstreams I pour away
Within the storms of sadness
Iâll eternally remain
Love is lost forever
You are mourned by this rain

Forever weeping

Into The Wells Of Sorrow (1991)

Ghostwinds draw forth the clouds
That will shroud me in black forever
Once again I stare into the night
Darkness binds my life and death together

The dark clouds a portrait of her
The black-cloaked face of death
Her empty eyes a hallway to heaven
But my sanctum is beyond unfathomed depths

I will never be at rest
Until the sun forever sets

A solemn walk through this maze of paled stones
Monuments to the ending of pain
Souls cry forth from eternal sanctum
Knowing only death remains

Now I stand before the altar
They call me from ethereal gates
I raise my head in dignity
Knowing only death is the absence of pain

Unplenitude (1996)

Aging branches
Reach for the warmth of life
Fleeting from the cerement of ice

So brittle theyâd break
âNeath the ashes of autumn
Weak with the weight of eternal tears

The Mourning (1989)

He who lives twixt pain, pain and despair
Dwelleth âneath the doom dark clouds forbear
Awaiting the fatesâ warning
I live this life in eternal mourning

My soul was born buried alive
And waits âtil my body âneath the headstone lie
Live a death in midnight for ten thousand years
Each day sinking further into a sea of tears

Open the eternal gates of sanctum with my death
Sail into sleep, never awaken again

He who in darkness dwell
Shall find eternal rest, heaven through hell

Shores Of Desolation (1988, 1990)

A call to the sea to cleanse my soul of ill
Of hate and depression be freed, my fate, thus fulfilled
Summon me forth, the susurration of the blackest tides
No longer the shores of emptiness shall I tread infinitely inside

Frigid mournful winds traverse the chasms of my soul
Awaiting sweet death, I will again be whole
Tumultuous waters extract me from this mortality to which Iâm bound
Evolved from the body, useless time expired, futile life drowned
