Lyrics for Tortuous Threnody

Thy gruesome cries so thin On thus you will succeed The amorphous illusions Thwart your willingness to believe The beauty Disturbed The amulet, opener of forgotten doors Leads back to that doomed tiara-night See thyself wild in hysteria Death's irony The beauty Disturbed Listen to this tortuous threnody Filled with the pain Thou can see where betrayal shall bring thee Death's obligatory Where all elements melt to one And odious memories perish together with you Should have seen the omen, the mirror Death's reality Cry, your threnody will be heard For thy suffocated minds The tortuous sound as angel's voices The phobia, in search for ancestral blood An arable force from the past Leads back to the atrocious roots The deep inner soul, never to be exposed Cry, your threnody will be heard For thy suffocated minds The tortuous sound as angel's voices The phobia, in search for ancestral blood The axiom you can't deny or better Drags you down into a lost abyss The hymn stops, fear will reign Death's cruelty Where all elements melt to one And odious memories perish together with you Should have seen the omen, the mirror Death's reality
