Astral Judgment's Silent Maw

歌词

[Intro – slow atmospheric guitars] [Whispered] Another night. Another promise. Another lie I tell myself. [Verse I] I wake beneath a dying sun And curse the day that has begun No warmth remains behind my eyes Just empty rooms and practiced lies I wear a face the world can see While something underneath kills me Each breath becomes another chain Each morning tastes exactly the same [Instrumental] [Melancholic tremolo guitars] [Verse II] I found salvation in the poison A little silence for my head One fleeting hour without the voices One borrowed night among the dead I said: Only once Only tonight Only enough to make things right But every promise turned to dust And every refuge became a must [Build – drums intensify] [Chorus – tortured distant screams] I PRAY FOR SILENCE! I PRAY FOR SLEEP! For something strong enough to bury what I keep! I DRINK FROM DARKNESS! I FEED THE FLAME! Until I cannot recognize the creature with my name! [Long instrumental] [Cold tremolo melody] [Gradual blast beats] [Verse III] Depression sits beside my bed And counts the words I never said She knows exactly where I've been She knows the shape beneath my skin Addiction waits behind the door And whispers: "You won't hurt anymore." Such gentle words. Such perfect fraud. I made my poison into God. [Instrumental break] [Verse IV – slower] Years disappear without a sound Empty bottles on the ground People leave and seasons change Yet I remain inside this cage I watched my own reflection fade Behind the choices I had made Until the eyes staring at me belonged to someone I could not see [Climax – fast black metal] NO HEAVEN ANSWERED! NO ANGEL CAME! Only the hunger calling my name! Again! Again! Again! I fed the void and the void grew teeth! I begged for peace and purchased grief! I wanted numbness I wanted release But every dose devoured another piece of me! [Sudden slow section] [Verse V – exhausted scream] And somewhere underneath the ruin A heartbeat still refuses silence Weak. Broken. Almost forgotten. But alive. I do not call this hope I have forgotten what hope means I only know that tonight I heard the darkness call my name And for the first time I did not answer. [Long instrumental outro] [Slow melancholic guitar] [Drums gradually disappear] [Wind ambience] [Final distant scream] If morning comes... let it find me still here.
