Marianas Rest

me a long damned way
To bury it all
Veiled in frost
How I long to feel
The slowing beat as I draw
My final breath

Into white
I give myself to you
2. Glow from the Edge 06:18
Shadows of men drifting on fumes
Driven by the glow that gave them birth
Containers for thoughts
Something that once got lost torn away of its soul
Nothing personal ever
Gave tribute to what they are and here I am
Damned to witness it all
Damned to watch us all
Fall

Deceived by the glow of the edge
To gaze into the ceaseless
End to a futile quest
To fill the hollow inside with nothing
It never ends

Stereotypes thrown over the edge
Under unforgiving cold
I could swear I heard someone laugh
As we drove ourselves through the black

I wish nothing more
Than the power to take it all back
I never desired anything as much
As to have the strength to change the direction
I wish I could explain just how it feels
To know what I know now, to see what I have to see now
And to do it all again and again
Powerless, part of an all consuming cycle
In the end we all
Fall

Deceived by the glow of the edge
To gaze into the ceaseless
End to a futile quest
To fill the hollow inside with nothing
It never ends

Stereotypes thrown over the edge
Under unforgiving cold
I could swear I heard someone laugh
As we drove ourselves through the black

3. Pointless Tale 05:51

From the filth of withered ground
There once grew a thorn
Aiming past colorless blanket
For a sky drained of life

Swarth of soil escaped
Farther and farther, towards oceans of grey
No matter how high it pushed
Warmth could not be found

Pray this night will never end
Black is a heaven sent
For we are lost without the dark
Carved of misery, corrupt from the start

Hope the light to never shine
For minds so unkind
We are only worth the dark
No more than the dark

A swing of a sickle
Cut down in a single stroke
You belong to the shadows
For a moment all seemed to clear

This life is sound and fury
Tale that fails to hold a meaning
And hope for better days
Is a weak match for the void that fills us all

4. The Weight 09:32
Come and hear the thunder
Sounds from the final shore
Join the march to the edge
A path laced with regret
Beaten under the weight
But for once our minds will not bend
Never started this journey
By gods we will be the ones to make it end
Can you feel the thunder
Can you feel the end

See King Nothing on a crusade
Ruler of an empire of ruins
Pilgrim on a pale horse
Imposter left, imposter left an empty throne
Erase the future
To dwell in the past
Wanderers lost in wasteland
With dreams cut down to size

This weight on our shoulders
Designed to crush, to make us fall

This weight on our shoulders
Designed to crush, designed to make us fall

Will you help me get through this
As I see no other way
Please guide me through this maze
It all has been too hard
Our steps through the snow
Feel like dancing on broken glass
Will you help me get through this
For it all has been too long and hard

Can you hear the thunder
Can you feel the end

Come and hear the thunder
Come and feel the end

5. Horrokseen 03:11

"They were seen walking insensible and ignorant where they went. Scarcely could you succeed in making them understand a few words. When no longer able to continue walking, having neither power nor will, they fell on their knees."

6. Fata Morgana 07:12

You were really never here
And I was not there for you
This cold between us
Is something we could never remove

Pinned to the ground
Stuck in soil, frozen where we stand
The distance obscured
Like through twisted glass

Not all you see is real
Not all you think you know is true
The ghosts between us distort the signal
Fata Morgana

And nothing would ever please me
As to be there for you
Nothing would ever heal me
But to watch the world burn down with you

Nothing would ever please me
As to be there for you
Nothing would ever heal me
But to watch the world burn down with you

But this is something
We can't remove
Nothing we got to choose
It is how it is
Fata Morgana

You were really never here
I was not there for you
These ghost linking us together
Illusion of vision
Fata Morgana

7. Advent of Nihilism 07:03

Some things would be better not born
And there are words wiser left unsaid
"Not all shivering is due to cold"
He said calmly, dead in the eyes
You cannot strip a mindless of his will
"Death created time to grow the things it would kill"
We all know it's true but please
Whisper to me, say it ain't so

We are a river
That wants to reach the end
Soothing lullaby to silence
The voice that tells you to act

Pitiful race of a day
Children of accidents and sorrow
We get to drown in the stream
And watch as nothing taints all

Rambling goes on as the shadows grow tall
And values are just found on the market
The surface stripped, nothing to reflect
Suddenly everything lacks meaning
Bury your morals and descent
Deeper, the current will show you the end
To bring light into nothing ain't easy
So don't hold your breath

We are a river
That wants to reach the end
Soothing lullaby to silence
The voice that tells you to act
Pitiful race of a day
Children of accidents and sorrow
We get to drown in the stream
And watch as nothing taints all

We are the night sky without stars

8. South of Vostok 07:06

Siellä missä aikaa ei ole
Ja paikka on menettänyt merkityksensä
Tuuli sulki korvani
Kylmä kantoi kauas ajatukseni
Äärettömään mereen katoava jääkenttä
Pakkasen kasvoille tiivistämä sumu
Täällä aika katosi
Ja sijaintini poistettiin kartalta
Kun kaikki loppui
Minä olin täällä

We roam to reach
The most desolate shore
Where frost covers our eyes
And wind will hide our scream
Here nothing ever was
Everything comes to die
Where no one can ever see
We set ourselves on
Fire - here we stand and burn
Higher - feed the flames to the frost
Fire - we are fuel for the dark
Maybe someone else will see
Our tracks in the snow

Fire - here we stand and burn
Higher - feed the flames to the frost
Fire - we are fuel for the dark
Maybe someone else will find
Tracks lost in the snow
These distorted visions
Witnessed by chosen few
Known by indifferent all
Cared by none
Distorted visions
Witnessed by chosen few
Known by indifferent all
Cared by absolutely none
