Piercing Truth

lies will fall apart
revealing hidden surface
light will wash away
the shroud of illusions protecting the rotten core
rays pierce the darkness
burning remnants of old life
rays pierce the darkness
burning remnants of old life
rays pierce the shadows
scorching memories of old self
flames will burn the sickness, maimed, decaying flesh
flames will burn the darkness away
veil of dead illusion will fall, torn and burned
shroud of empty visions will fall
truth will shine in silence, gleaming, sharp and cold
truth will burn through eyelids
lies will fall apart
revealing hidden surface
light will wash away
the shroud of illusions
lies will fall apart
revealing hidden surface
death will tear away
the shroud of deception and broken hopes

Martyr

cast out of Elysium
held back by my inner self
my wounds bleed eternally
each day filled with misery
cast out of infinity
held back by my hidden fears
denied immortality
devoid of divinity
LIAR
COWARD
MARTYR
SAVIOUR
in my eyes they have seen holy light
MARTYR
SAVIOUR
COWARD
FAILURE
but my path only leads to demise
false prophet, false redemption
my shame and my despair
false promise, false messiah
you won't be saved
false prophet, false messiah
you won't be saved
they hope to find salvation
escape their fate
they worship fallen idol
pale mournful face
there is only pain and torture
there is only death
there is only guilt and suffering
there is no relief
waves are crashing against
walls i've built upon lies
slowly washing away
monument to my weakness
rise up in rage and anger
stand proudly against the skies
cast stones at your worthless prophet
reject my lies
rise up with strength and passion
look proudly into my eyes
overthrow my throne of marble
snuff out my light
rise up in strength and wisdom
see clearly through my disguise
reject the hollow promise
put me out of my misery

Surrender
07:23

|

run, get away, try to find shelter
pray, don't listen, silence the whispering
voice, so quiet, drowning out my own
thoughts, spreading lies, flooding my mind with regret
there will be no remorse
no escape from the slaughter
i cannot outrun
what is coming to get me
there'll be no resistance anymore
the silent hunter is in my head
i've lost this fight a thousand times
i will lose again
i've lost this fight a thousand times
i've suffered from the unseen wounds
my will is broken, my mind is weak
i have lost again
hopeless, i stop in my tracks and turn to face my fate
silent, i stand and await the claws to dig in my flesh
i'm lost and i don't want to try to find my way once again
i want for this nightmare to stop, this torture to end
i face the light
and close my eyes
fill me with dread
and end my pain
fear runs through my veins
truth poisons my heart
i fall in the deepest abyss
i have become my own prey
i face the light
and close my eyes
fill me with dread
and end my pain

Escape
07:50

i look around for the last time
before i light the torch
this was my life for too many years
a collection of old regrets
i step onto the threshold
flames burn behind my back
smoke follows in my footsteps
don't dare to turn around
i don't know what i will find
in those strange lands ahead
what awaits me in the cold winter night
i step into the unknown
the fires burn my skin
unleashed by pain of failure
i tried to cleanse the wounds
with blazing-hot inferno
i'll venture to the edge of the world
forget what's been devoured by fire
to find peace, or fall on my sword
but never return to what's left behind
i know i will never find
what i set out to get
i get lost in the dead of the night
but never turn back
the night pulls me deep
and i accept my failures
i proudly wear my scars
dissolving into darkness
the cold will cleanse my mind
as i walk through the blizzard
the echoes of the past
die down without a trace
my past i leave behind
my name i leave behind
my pain i leave behind
my breath i leave...

Disillusionment
06:22

|

another night darkens the sky
while i watch in horror as it smothers the light
how many more still i have left?
how much longer shall i hide from myself?
i swallowed my pride and faced the truth
i stared at my reflection
i cannot shed my skin or change my shape anymore
i'm out of second chances
there's no point in running away once again
there's no more new beginnings
the rot is inside me, it's here to stay
inevitable and unforgiving
for every step that i take on this way
i hear a thousand doors closing
no matter what choice i make
it all will turn to dust
close my eyes and fade away
no matter what i did, all i've got was nothing
when everything's for naught
one's no more than zero
all i build will fall apart
all i love will disappear
all my hate is not enough
there will be nothing but decay
all my hate is not enough
all my hate is not enough

Misguiding Star
06:58

i am alone,
amidst the endless waves,
thundering storm
will crush my fragile boat
i will drown in this ocean
descend to the rocks below
drifting away
i raise my bloodshot eyes
one final gaze
at raging, tortured sky
only one star above me
cuts through the night
and as i fall
into the void
i curse the star
that brought my doom
lost direction, lost my way and my mind
fooled and blinded
cursed forever, since i took the first step
oath was broken
followed blindly, never opened my eyes
walked in darkness
poisoned promise, guiding light led me to
pain and damnation
and as i fall
into the void
i curse the star
that brought my doom
leading me down
towards oblivion
this wretched star
laughs at my torture
dragged into cold
Stygian depth
world fades away
only one bright star remains

A lot of bands play a dark, gripping, and deeply emotional sound, but no one does it quite like Gaerea. Ive loved all their stuff up to this point, but they have truly topped themselves with Mirage. I believe this album is a masterpiece.
