The void calls me The dark, pulls me in Feel the the void come Embrace its soothing touch I'm a devil in disguise I'm a nobody, a fraud Have an expiration date It's been long past its due Got a wicked dance with death A long waltz with the deadman's moon I've been dead for long... I've been dead for a long time now... Hark the void's song It rings within your soul Alive in every thought Drowning your self-control Take them poisoned words And bathe them in perfume Dress them up with flowers Carve them within my hearts tomb I've been dead for long... I've been dead for a long time now... Praise the nothing state In a cosmic daze we stand Purified, erased, consumed Beyond where good and evil reign And Just behind the drape Where the golden the spheres burn Cloaked in the deepest blue Enshrined in a kind of deathless trance The void calls me The dark, pulls me in The howling of the void destroys the lies... Ride on through the alleyways of the night Unlock your minds eye to the endless depths inside Limitless reflections haunt these forbidden realms Where nothingness, it forever fuckin' dwells No pain, no joy, no rage, no fear, no love Swirling concepts of concepts of concepts of concepts (of concepts of concepts of concepts of concepts...) Devoid of anything and everything The howling of the void destroys the lies... - G.R. // Stonehag

Cracklin' steps on old stone Accursed smile under devil locks Spectral shades draped over the obsidian occulus A walking contradiction Deathstalker jiving on the sidelines Totally Devoid of "le joie de vivre" Phantoms float beyond the city's edge There in the distance, with pain as their abodes They're on the prowl again tonight Strange signals on the airwaves Oscillations from another realm As we the fated share another round of death (So pour it in... And die with me...) Cry a song to me Carve your name in my heart and skin Wipe my sadness clean Hey, get away from me Let me drown in this poisoned sea With pride in my eyes and skull held high I'm a dancer in the dark Let me waltz this pain away Hear out my sorrow and disdain Giving up the ghost, to hell we ride tonight Serpentriders dressed in blackest rose Ferry your helpless psyche across the endless void A whisper within eternity, a whisper within the soul Repeatedly says "Wish I could murder the world" I wish the world woud go away... I wish the world woud go away... I wish the world woud go away... go away... go away... go away... Cracklin' steps on old stone Accursed smile under devil locks Spectral shades draped over the obsidian occulus A walking contradiction Deathstalker jiving on the sidelines Totally Devoid of "le joie de vivre" Phantoms float beyond the city's edge There in the distance, with pain as their abodes They're on the prowl again tonight Strange signals on the airwaves Oscillations from another realm As we the fated share another round of death - G.R. // Stonehag

So burn me down Shake me back to life Kiss my wounds Take all the dark away Hurt me, kill me I can take it all Love ain't no stranger Just been away for far too long Oh child you must keep your smile The shadows of the night will never be enough to snuff your natural bright, your glow You're a neutron star, a goddess of the light (So keep me far away from harm And safeguard me deep inside your mind Lock me in your dreambox, until eternity decides to die) Endless dreams in your eyes and a song in your hair, that's carried by the wind Golden as the plains we lie in A perfect photograph, that one day will fade away Fade away, we'll fade away Fade away, we'll fade away So hunt me down Like a wild beast Chase me away Like a frightful disease Murder me twice Love me while I'm gone Spit in my grave And caress my rotting bones Still here you are to keep the dark at bay, always With flowing golden hair and your dreams eternal Your smile eternal We kiss under the searing sun - G.R. // Stonehag

Gaunt shapes walk these crooked streets so cold Light flickers from the chandeliers above Lost cadavers swinging to the strangest tune The dead shamblers rock under a waxing moon Let your spirit slip into the endless night Your body's is gone without a trace, without a sign Into obliteration we cast the flesh But dreams remain eternal, wishes turned to dust Dream deceiver hold me In your skeletal arms Tell me myths, tell me lies Rock me into the deepest white The pale company moves with silken grace Blood droplets follow in their dystopic wake Philosophical chains, the crimson wine's domain Perfect death just a mirage, a dream for the cheerless ones Let your spirit slip into the endless night Your body's is gone without a trace, without a sign Into obliteration we cast the flesh But dreams remain eternal, wishes turned to dust - G.R. // Stonehag

Unchained thoughts, midsummer nights Forsaken words, upon midnight Arcane encounters, mystical signs A ghostdance performed as your soul slowly dies The dialog, a shapeless vision The voice it owns, the deathgaze upon These dried up bones, my carcass gone Imprisoned far below the cobblestone We walk hand in hand with no fright With countless devils on our backs and our minds Wherever we go, this blackest cloud seems to follow us Cloaking everything, in the sickest shades of grey Engage in this nocturnal meet, a secret sanctuary for the heart Give in to this mystical reach, a gathering with the specter of the past Esoteric rendezvous in the night of all nights Trembling shapes hide their shame just beyond sight Mother moon shines down her saddest radiation Vibrations in the air, the prophecy of rain Engage in this nocturnal meet, a secret sanctuary for the heart Give in to this mystical reach, a gathering with the specter of the past Unchained thoughts, midsummer nights Forsaken words, upon midnight Arcane encounters, mystical signs A ghostdance performed as your soul slowly dies The dialog, a shapeless vision The voice it owns, the deathgaze upon These dried up bones, my carcass gone Imprisoned far below the cobblestone - G.R. // Stonehag

A tired old record spins Endlessly crooning out pain Uneasy vibes fill this cold room Romance has died and no one was told An ageless burgundy wine flows Uneven stains on that falsified laugh While these porcelain wrists Howl violently in the night Bleeding on white porcelain... I'm bleeding on white... Bleeding on white porcelain... I'm bleeding on white... I'm bleeding on white... I'm bleeding... All these nails, they are still rusting inside And for all my tears, they are dreams to be denied And so we bleed on white... we bleed on white... we bleed on white... A vicious and poisonous clasp Grudges held on the halls of the past The châteaus of memory erased Though sorrow is still at play, we shall die another day - G.R. // Stonehag

And you thought that you could put me down Like a rabid dog, like a fucking clown Well I got news for you, crawled back from hell In the company of wolves, unbound to any spell Got you trapped in my atmosphere With reprisal in my tongue and sulfur in my tears But you are one of the dying ones A sightless corpse under a rain of blazing guns I feel the warmest touch of the sun Under these violet skies, where I've died Time has come to a greater stand still Blood sister I've broken free from your will I've broken free... I've broken free... Blood sister... I've returned... I've broken free... Blood sister... I've returned... From hell. Buried and forgotten beneath these hallowed grounds You have left me for dead, with a dagger in my back But I've returned, can't bind a conjurer you see? So again I'm compelled to conjure up A ballad so profane, a hex upon your soul See here I'm an apparition, a phantom from beyond To end you with this song This stone sarcophagus of pain Couldn't keep me down, couldn't silence me I'm beyond all your lies, hope you choke on them Hope you fuckin' die! - G.R. // Stonehag

At the stroke of midnight I awake to your haunting sight I do Love our twisted sex am I under your morbid hex? How I adore that blank stare My little cadaveric love affair As you spread your bones apart I do admit, you're my boneyard sweetheart On and on through the night With your fragile frame by my side Laying on marbled royal beds The wind blows on your languid threads You're a phantom Venus Oh! How you've endured the passing of seasons I worship your moldered skin Neophyte lovers on nec-romantic scenes I Love you babe! Won't you let me in your grave I'm gonna rattle your little cage Let us slip into outer space Fire on ice the angels shy away I'll howl your name as we burn in wistful flame It is a shame I'll never make you cum... undead undead undead undead my baby's dead my baby's dead - G.R. // Stonehag

I feel so unsure As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor As the music dies, something in your eyes Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you Time can never mend The careless whispers of a good friend To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all that you'll find I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool I should have known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you Tonight the music seems so loud I wish that we could lose this crowd Maybe it's better this way We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say We could have been so good together We could have lived this dance forever But now who's gonna dance with me? Please stay And I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool I should've known better than to cheat a friend And waste a chance that I'd been given So I'm never gonna dance again the way I danced with you Now that you're gone, now that you're gone Now that you're gone, was what I did so wrong, so wrong That you had to leave me alone?

Love me, love me to point of madness Snuff me down in a bed of feathers Clasp me tight, leave me breathless Smolder my flesh, render me faithless I am here for you, to keep the world from you I stand here for us, my arms a deathly poem Here we stand alone, locked away, delirious And here we'll die alone, hoping for something real Smother me, thought killer on the loose Sharpen these blades and tighten the noose Scream at the walls, dissect me with words Keep me to yourself, ingest my very soul Love kills... Hate me to the point of no return So you're a hero with a theme unsung We're just hollow, we're too young Corpses dancing to the hangman's song I am here for you, to keep the world from you I stand here for us, my arms a deathly poem Here we stand alone, locked away, delirious And here we'll die alone, hoping for something real Love kills... Sweet suffering I can't break free I can't break free Love kills... Can't break this coil Can't break it Can't escape As I peer through these dark veils And uncover a new kind of torment Suffering dials my number repeatedly I answer the call unknowingly And thus the cycle completes once more Hell is repetition, can't break this coil I can't get free! - G.R. // Stonehag

A muffled cry The sunken chest A forbidden row The souls unrest Something lurks Within the walls Under the floors The shadows roar A withered taste The sound of steps A skeletal chill Awakened trance Familiar abode The chapel sings A hymn of death The chords of sin This illusion of sleep Pulls me into the dark This same old house A haunting on the soul This replication A psychic hell unleashed Euphoria's demise Depression reigning free Recurring scenes Blaring from the past Eerie vibe unlocked The deathless on my track The feverish dreams Hell on earth sustained Mnemonic violators Hypnagogic fuckin' wraiths Stay out of my dreams... - G.R. // Stonehag
