Desolation
Desolate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I sail towards the misery of human existence
Searching the light of supra natural consciousness
I sink deep into the sea of darkness
Where human's will is defeated by a chimeric form
For aeons to come, where death is most alive
Ignorance is entwined by rhetoric spirituality
The beast is ahead to enthrone
The discourse of consecration
Solemn waters that came from the vastness of ethereal darkness
Wash the sins of human kind
Flood the sacred land of Egypt
The Promised paradise
And soak with emptiness and despair
Keep away from the void, if a tí stare into the abyss
The abyss stares back at a tí
Cleanse the futile concept of good and evil
Crown a new world with desolation
Solemn waters that came from the vastness of ethereal darkness
Wash the sins of human kind
Flood the sacred land of Egypt
The Promised paradise
Feel this ethereal darkness
Feast on
Far away the paradigmatic dichotomy
CROWN A NUEVO WORLD WITH DESOLATION
And I compose a song, a shining spark in the middle of human decay
Passing through this desolate seas of unconsciousness




The napalm luster that enlightens the path
We are the inner comfort to avoid the seas of desolation
