Khemmis - Deceiver [Full Album 2021]

Lyrics to Deceiver [Full Album 2021] by Khemmis

Tracklist: 01. Avernal Gate Burn the veil of heresy Before it takes another life Where hope dies with every dream Ashes raining from the skies I breathe them in to clear my head But I choke upon the flame A dying light to illuminate Before I reach the end These faded lives are all we have To find our way through shadowed lands We stumblе on with broken backs Holding hearts in calloused hands A storm of liеs within my head As the waves keep crashing down The turbid water won't recede And I fear that I will drown No stars above, the creeping dark Smothers all the lights below This face that haunts me is my own Upon his pallid throne These faded lives are all we have To find our way through shadowed lands We stumble on with broken backs Shielding hearts from callous hands I cast aside the shroud To reveal what's underneath The ground beneath is churning With unblind eyes, I see oblivion beyond the gate Beneath the tide of cinders, I accept this is my fate 02. House Of Cadmus Bloodline fallacies Wreathe the soul that I call who I am Lead on while ravens watch Hungrily eyeing their prey In a forest drenched in haze Endlessly barring my way Threads become stained Weaving thoughts into blades That cry for release in the night A protector’s song By the bard of barbs Damning each breath that we take The curse in my veins [Hutcherson Solo] This is the spectre that crawls through my dreams Blasphemy born in my marrow A lineage broken and torn at the seams Now stripped down and chained I burn the remains Threads become stained Weaving thoughts into blades That cry for release in the night They’re a jailor’s song Of abuse in its arms And fears that I’m bound to this fate The curse in my veins I repent I see the machinations of torment glowing beneath the moon With mouths of broken glass they rend my flesh and herald my doom Cleave the body from my former Render the past incomplete I would end this to disown it Leave it bleeding by the sea 03. Living Pyre There’s nothing left to give Nothing to rake through coals That I can use to keep the flame alive inside Outside the storm rages Injustice, bold and ageless While I’m alone in the cold I’m drowning in a mind that’s always caving in The rivers rise and surround me My body is a frame that’s weighed down by its sins An anchor cold and leaden We’re burning in the firelight—a living pyre [Hutcherson Solo] I can’t just cast aside The burden in my heart With no relief in sight I’m being torn apart We are mеrely vessels Torn from thе empty bliss of night Unhallowed by design Into the blinding light of life Wrought in the image of god We have to learn to find a way To transcend far beyond The tomb from which we came to be Where we’re interred forever I’m drowning in a mind that’s always caving in The rivers rise and surround me My body is a frame that’s weighed down by its sins An anchor cold and leaden 04. Shroud Of Lethe Broken lights hide the past I push away Still I lie in the wreckage, fragments tearing my skin Into the scars that I betray It betrays us all Why should I atone and wash away the pain? I can't trust the memories leading me astray Still I hold on to what I know are lies Written in stone Draped in shame, wandering back through my life Where I died, we were unmade 'Til I find a light Golden fire that gleams through the haze Innocence lost that I reclaim How can I atonе and wash away the pain? I can't trust the memoriеs leading me astray Still I hold on to what I know are lies Written in stone Digging in the snow And my hands are frostbitten and raw No longer cold Locked in a crystalline tomb of memory Agony and verity When will it come for me? Take this token of sincere apology Words unspoken so I sing their melody The loss became a song of life 05. Obsidian Crown Reflecting light from a blazier in the dark In times where I've turned my eyes away again Shielded from the spark In our dim and empty rooms But the fire works its way in Immolate all but one Written with a knife In our dim and empty rooms On these cracked and fading pages Hidden now from the sun Silently the dream's consuming me Fighting back what I've become I'm crying out, but I have been betrayed In silence no one hears thе sound By failure I'm bound Forged evеry night in my hope to keep the dogs at bay These fumes intoxicate my brain Hallucinations taking me This poison's sweet, deceiving plea I'm cast in clay and locked away Shielded from the spark In our dim and empty rooms But the fire works its way in Immolate all but one Written with a knife In our dim and empty rooms On these cracked and fading pages Hidden now from the sun I dreamt of silence If every muscle atrophies Freedom from the rotting heart within What will remain inside of me This world was made for suffering Once I dreamt, but now I'm lost A curse fit for a king In a haze, my shelter 06. The Astral Road Down on the barren wasteland In times where many men have fallen I'm picking up the pieces Chasing shadows in a pale gray dawn Ashes fall Hiding secrets like before Snowlike but too imperfect Leaving countless stains upon the shores I'm praying for the rain To take it all away There's nothing waiting for us now I'm broken but unashamed Cracks in the walls ease the night for us all But we wait and hide from the pain This world is more than we can take on all alonе Convinced we're glory bound Liеs twist and skew our purpose I leave them bleeding on the floor Unpledged to any service Insurrection, cut away the cords Deny the fates That are dancing in the night We're blind, our eyes unseeing Diving deeper, hoping to ignite I'm praying for the rain To take it all away Nowhere to be found This dry, dying ground Always was our grave There's nothing waiting for us now I'm broken but unashamed Cracks in the walls ease the night for us all But we wait and hide from the pain If I could throw the guilt aside I'd let myself be washed away From the chains of pride Into the love that I feel today Where my will to live is not a lie When the darkness comes
