“Here
No self exists
All
Bound to its will
White stone
Tears the mind appart
And the walls
Keep the souls intact”
Yet the elders spoke to me
What it was can never really be
And the gates closed forever beneath me
In this citadel, we will never be free
I see myself staring back at me
No mirros on
Shadows dancing on walls
My voice echoes through these walls and halls
No answer back
My mind is turning blank
“Kneel where you are
Let yourself travel afar
Stay here for awhile
Every moment bennial”
The isles extended endlessely
No dust, no breeze
Everything still
Stoned black faces staring me
Eyes burning cold
For time unknown
All doors were locked on the path I walked
The candles trembled
As I moved on
The end I’d reach on these barren halls
To go beyond
In hopes to find one
“Kneel where you are
Let yourself travel far
Stay here for awhile
Every moment bennial”
~
But only death and despair will find you, haunt you in these walls
The only hope you have left let it go, let it fall, in these halls
~
####
Mazes that last
Locks that won’t rust
Doors that won’t budge
A hotel for empty hearts
A single lock shines afar
The door cracks open before me
Silver chains drag me down
Further down

Lust
05:25
|
|||
...And the gates close behind me...
...Revealing the dead land beyond...
Lust
Earth
coated in gray
marbles and stones
like the promises of
Those
succumbed to their heart
succumbed to their flesh
a constant agony for
More
reduced into shade
statues of ash
a tribute to to their unrightfull
Lust
diamonds of dust
golden rings of rust
the floor of unwanting pain that will
Last
~
Blood tainted rocks
I watch
As the blood turns to air
Black hands of coal
reach out
In hopes to an end
Black clouds above
obscure
all light is now gone
At the center of it all
In a storm
A tower stands tall
~
Approaching
I see it clearly now
A vortex
a blend of black ash and thunder
The air
gets thinner and foul
And each step I take
chips my body and turns it to gray
The rain
falls heavy and burns the ground
No fire
yet black smoke rises from below
My vision
blurried
all sense paralyzed
A sight to see
what lies inside
~
~
Onwards
The gates I shall knock
Onwards
Myself will not fall
~

Gluttony
05:03
|
|||
Hunger
Ever growing
The land
for those
who crave more
Bear hands
that took
it all
All
your eyes
can feast
upon
Will never
let you
be whole
~
You brought your weight and more
of things made of coal
Ruptured
From
Within
The core
Now, you stand here in awe
As your body grows cold
The burried
Will hunt you
Once more
~
A wasteland
Where men
with no soul dwell
Open hands
unable to grab
What here grows
illusions and false hope
Look above
indulgance made to worn
Nothing’s real here
only fool’s gold
Heavy burdens
carried with cost
Hearses empty
riden by ghosts
As all treasures
are nothing but lost
and I traverse with my eyes closed
and dive once more further down
~
~
No looking behind
As matters disolves
A punishment
For those who took it all
The chains
I leave behind
As I strall
In a cave made of gold
|

Greed
05:45
|
|||
Praised
Machine Gods
Made of gold
Built
to conquer
the top of the world
Land that’s rough
Gold and silver
raining from the
Skies
metal hearts
in rusty pikes
as this maze forms beyond
The eager eyes
that desire
everything
where ever has been
~
Each coin
melt down to forge chains
A rememberance through the ages
Reserved
The cages were made
Fill up with your greed
The screams
A choir of pain
An apology for the weak
A skin
Too thick to feel
Yet soft enough to bleed
~
Even though
The chests were left full
The caskets, their grave,
were empty made of wood
No words
were spoken
when their time came by
And their comfort
post mortum
the full chests left behind
~
~
Silver hearts
melt down hinting the path
The choir stops
as I strand further down
Broken vows
Testimony of the rotten and cursed
As their bones
Are ripped out of their flesh
As much as you’ll get
content you’ll never get
|

Anger
04:56
|
|||
An endless black sea
spreads across the horrizon
Underneath there sink
those who were conquered by anger
~
As they lost themselves
Their body moved on its own
Each hit theystruck
Each blade they swang
Ill will
above all reason
~
The weight of the world
crushing me down
loud screams
all around
Glares that pierce deep within
No mercy
For the victims they found
~
~
Ocean floor
coated in red
Arrows, swords
skulls and lead
Unbreakble string
bounding them
To the bottom
sinking with no end
Phlegyas
his boat made of steel
The way further
through his kingdom of Styx
A hell
meant to chocke them down
Drowning in venom
again and again and again and again
My blood
starts boiling
inside my vains
as the boat man
enlarges my rage
all the token
made with lead and black stains
and he smiles
as he raises his sails
Let your self lose
close your eyes
a peace of your soul
the toll to your demise

Heresy
08:15
|
|||
A hall of flaming tombs
a scortching abyss
the city of Dis
Burried, inverted, crusified
no way,
to atone for their sin
A roof
ash scortched
no sky
no stars to gaze upon
No voice
as their mouths were stitched tight
no breathing
their existence denied
Silver pillars
rise high
to the “sky”
Angelic engravements
the commandments
they denied
Their flaming caskets
open wide
breathed in flames
till the end of time
Golden crosses
occupied
by those who dared
and lied
~
A silent mourning
only heard by the heart
It echoes louder
Than the flames that scortch apart
My will deceives me
And I wonder afar
Each step I weaken
Is it time to depart?
~
And there he stood
like a shade
longing for the
Light
he whispered
“don’t stay here
go beyond
See the pillars
ass tall as they are
it’s only the tip
of what you can become”
~
~
Silver lining’s
the way
as the fire
bows to me
the mourning
gets louder each step
they all watch me
as I decend
Crawling to my knees
the floor shifts
and I’m slipping in the abyss
Ἀθανάτους μὲν πρῶτα θεούς, νόμωι ὡς διάκεινται, τίμα καὶ σέβου ὅρκον. ἔπειθ' ἥρωας
ἀγαυούς τούς τε καταχθονίους σέβε δαίμονας ἔννομα ῥέζων σούς τε γονεῖς τίμα τούς τ'
ἄγχιστ' ἐγγεγαῶτας. τῶν δ' ἄλλων ἀρετῆι ποιεῦ φίλον ὅστις ἄριστος.
Πραέσι δ' εἶκε λόγοισ' ἔργοισί τ' ἐπωφελίμοισι. μηδ' ἔχθαιρε φίλον σὸν ἁμαρτάδος εἵνεκα
μικρῆς, ὄφρα δύνῆι· δύναμις γὰρ ἀνάγκης ἐγγύθι ναίει.
Ταῦτα μὲν οὕτως ἴσθι, κρατεῖν δ' εἰθίζεο τῶνδε· γαστρὸς μὲν πρώτιστα καὶ ὕπνου
λαγνείης τε καὶ θυμοῦ. πρήξηις δ' αἰσχρόν ποτε μήτε μετ' ἄλλου μήτ' ἰδίηι· πάντων δὲ
μάλιστ' αἰσχύνεο σαυτόν.
Blurry lights
faded halos
ripped apart
from those tortured souls
Golden feathers
pierced in tendrils
engraved by blood
a reminder
that words can spoil a soul
and lead the heart astray
In a moment your existence is gone
and your innocence forever spoiled
hands are tainted and foul
as speech is reduced into growl

Violence
09:42
|
|||
Endless woods
spreading afar
Phlegethon
The river of blood
Shows the way
deep in the dark
Leafless branches
rising up high
Those who couldn’t hold back
Are boiled in the river of blood
Their screams keep the trees awake
Inprisoning those who wouldn’t dare to stay
~
Suddenly fire ignites my heart
As I stare in the river the tortured stare back
The woods spread their branches
yet I cut them in half
And the ground beneath me
starts swallowing the stones on my back
Moving forward
one step at a time
violent thoughts
injected into my mind
All voices aligned
spell the words
“Abominable sands”
~
Finally
The forest reached its end
And I witnessed
golden red sands
burning the horrizon
A statue holds the sands intact
on its back
A tribute to Geryon
merciless by hand
Ash rains from the sky
Sandstorms wash away
remains
of broken cities and souls
Damned to wonder without end
in this realm
Sodomites, Blasphemers and Usurers
will burn
~
Suddenly fire ignites my heart
As I stare in the sands the tortured stare back
A sandstorm approaches
Ash rains from above
All fire goes through me
like I’m not there at all
Moving forward
one step at a time
violent thoughts
injected into my mind
cursed voices aligned
whisper lost words
only known to those who rot
~
And thus
I finally reached the gate
it’s sealed
by the chains of Judecca
My sword
seems faint as if made from ether
Two statues
stand tall inviting me to enter
They hold
Two axes rising high
And they cumble
in the blink of an eye
The chain broke
And the gate stood open lose
As I entered
I heard a laugh but no clue as to whose
Ουροβόρος
αέναος

Fraud
04:40
|
|||
Crouked smiles
a foul
background in the dark
Laughin at me
evil resentment
pollutes the air around
Ten floors below
exists
the door I’m looking for
The Malebolge
a home
to every demon ever born
So as above
so as below
demons and souls
bleeding as a whole
~
Descending ever down these halls
lure eveil unheard
by rotten bones
Pledged and seeking for release
all they have done
spreading a disease
~
All the whips and slashes
echo all across ten floors
I feel them on my skin
even thought I ‘m not at all
The one to blame
laughs and screams
just drag me to my knees
My spine is shaken
and my blood is growing thin
Deep in these halls
Sanity’s a delicacy
Your mortal shell will rot
And you will shed it like a snake
~

Treachery
06:47
|

Where are you
lost to hell
Unfound
Unbound
His chains are recked
Cold winds
ravege this realm
Crystalised tears
bound to the earth
Damn are those traitors
who dared to resent
Hell’s treasured attraction
frozen bones carved and bent
Blood crystalised
feed the trees growing high
The only sound
frozen winds roaring wild
~
With shattered voice
I ‘m calling you
With ice cold tears
I’m eying the throne that you stood
These empty chains
a mockery
An empty seat
That’s left for the shadows to keep
My body’s gone
No flesh to spare
My feeling’s gone
condemed to be where
I left my hopes
in finding a way
in search for ambition and dreams
a release for the pain
~
I walk to the throne
I no longer feel
the wind scrapping my bones
Sworn
to see this journey end
To challenge
the architects of despair
~
~
Beyond creation’s wall
lies a place unknown to man
outside of space and time
originator of life
the Construct slowly decays
no turning back no delay
as the veil is shattering
He grins and takes me away

X

his skin all but torn out
down to the bone
His self no logner bound
his chains now broke
A purpose unfullfilled
A journey to
Home
The one who he seeked out
in the rings of hell
Stood beside him wearing cloakes
obscuring his face
His eyes shined in bright red
his skin ablazed
Kαι να ηρθες εσυ εδω οπου κανεις αλλος 8νητος δεν τολμησε να πατησει.
Μεσα απο τους 9 κυκλους που εγω εχτισα, και απο την φυλακη μου.
Δωματια και κοσμοι που χτιστηκαν για την υποβολη τιμωριας για αυτους που αδικησαν, τα διαβηκες χωρις δευτερη σκεψη χανωντας τον εαυτο σου για να συνομιλησουμε
Παραυτα χωρις στομα ερχεσε να μιλησεις με ματια γεματα απορια, μισος και απελπισια.
"Ποιο το νοημα του χτισματος, που βρισκονται τα θεμελια, ποιος το εχτισε και που φαινεται η φθορα τους?
Που ειναι η θεια δικη στην αμετακλιτη τιμωρια και το αιωνιο μαρτυριο? Που ειναι ο αρχοντας σου?"
~
I deemed worthy
my self to reach
the space beyond
time and space
the nine rings
of hells I crossed
to stand before you
to speak these words
all the choices I have made
all the horros I have faced
Brought me down
to my knees
your rules are failed
your image tainted
~
Hollow eyes pierce through
skin and bone
Resenment fear despair
are all but gone
The suffering he brought
to be resolved
He finally has reached
Beyond the end
the origin of life
the architect
And as the hood falls down
he sees himself
stare
back at him
Λεξεις, ερωτησεις που εκφωνουνται απο καποιον που ειναι στο μετεχμιο της ανψπαρξιας του.
Αντικρισε με τωρα, κοιτα τα ματια που καποτε εσυ ειχες, και ισως διακαιωσειω το ταξιδι που εκανες.
Παραπερα δεν υπαρχει τιποτα και ο δρομος ειναι κλειστος.
Πως νιωθεις που αντικριζεις τον υπευθυνο για την καταδικη σου, τωρα που το πεπλο επεσε? Αν ειχεω μιλια τι θα ελεγες?
Λογια του αερα χανονται σε χρονο ανυποψιαστο.
Κανεις δεν μενει εδω για να θυματε. Στην προσπαθεια σου να γινεις ενα με το κατασκευασμα για να το αλλαξεις,
κατελληξες μερος τουτου, ακομη ενας πληνθος, προκειμενου το κτισμα να συνεχισει να υπαρχει.
Εν τελη, η μοναδικη αληθεια, παραμενει θεμελειωδης: Οι αλλαγες επι τουτου επονται απο μεσα και οχι απο εξω. Εκ τουτου οι κυκλοι χτιστηκαν και η ζωη εγεννητο.
