Sáwol (demo, December 7, 2007, Independent) (CD)

1. Desolate 6:17
Betrayed again, the lost one is alone
Now in a desert, seeking for peace
The void inside is now complete
No more pain, desolation taken place

Coldness fills the inside, tears don't fall anymore
Sinking into the darkness, slowly going numb

Love will not last anymore, words mean nothing now
When the soul is hollow, when the inner hell is released
The vision is getting blurry on the edge of humanity
Condition worse than pain can ever be

No more love, no more compassion
In this place of emptiness
Soul sacrificed in the altar of pride
Shadow of reality is all that remains

2. Lethal State 5:28
It's so cold in here, the winter has come
Frost in my heart, ice in my veins

Storms of emotions ripping me apart
Paralyzing pain rising from within

Suffocating darkness has come to stay
Like a cancer, destroying from inside
Tearing in every direction, driving into madness
No escape from this deadly force, this lethal state

3. Restoration 5:45
I take my daily doze, this time for real
The world has crumbled
Everything has broken into pieces

I'm shivering with fear
Disbelief and confusion

Will you answer me?

Now the aim is precise
It hits with force, divine
Just what I needed, just what I asked
You are so real
Almighty




Through Soil And Skin (album, April 17, 2010, Bullroser Records) (CD)

1. Furor 4:01
Carved in
Roots and branches
Grown through
Soil and skin
You enter a world
In ordered chaos
Bruised while breathing
For the both of us

Furor rises
For this is land
Claimed by force
Fear of he stranger
Moves my hand
Turned to claws

Drawing a line
For the sun
To die on
They pray
For one more chance

2. Drought 5:04
The draining
It must be stopped
This sheil
Is almost empty now
It needs the hill
It needs the fire
To be worthy
To even exist

No substitute is accepted
No deed, no faith
No nothing
To sustain the value
The passion
To be able to feel
The essence of life

Longing for the power
Longing for the love

The black crows
Creatures of destruction
Are now flying over me
Gathered for the feast
Shredding the body
They feel no mercy
No remorse

Tempting to the darkness
Calling for to die
Dragging to the desert
Final destination

3. Prisoner 7:00
Prisoner
Of the image self created
The perfect me
All I wanted to be

Trapped behind
The mask of perfection
Hollow strength

Distorted vision
Altered perception
Existence
Defined by others

No compromise
No defeat
The roll of a lifetime

4. Thorns 6:18
Talk of the storm
Won't leave the scars
It used to
Words fatuous
At first glance
Are left to greet
Each other

The shout in the desert
Distant distorted
At the top of the chain
Your threat
Seems contrived

Water rising
He makes a fool of himself
In our eyes and theirs
I don't mind
Having a laugh at this
Never to notice
The soaking cloth
On his shoulder
I wake up as the wind
Makes him louder

Losing sight
Of these thorns
Leaves me
Wandering in circles
Losing sight
Of this blood
Pulls me under water

5. Break And Create 8:50
I come to you
With the charge I have
I can't dismiss
What you've done
What brings destruction
Unto me
What is the reason
For this vortex?

The scourge of devastation
Forces man
Down to his knees
Leave mercy on me

The plague consumes
Terror takes over the lands
Filled with turmoil
Is this the last breath?

You break and create
Embrace the creation
You've made
Let me see your face

6. Seasons 5:13
As a petal of a rose
In autumn
I'm freezing
And fading away
Shine your light
To me
Warm me
As I'm feeling so cold

Dropping
To the cold ground
I'm going
With the wind
Fill this void in me
Let there be
A spring instead
I can't take
Another winter

7. Closer To The Sun 4:29
The lifeless parts
That were silenced
Suddenly wake up
And live again
Restored
Pulled out from the depth
I feel your touch
And scream for more

I spread my wings
And fly again
Closer to the sun
Shall I burn
Shall I burn again
Closer to the sun

I step out of the circle
My refuge
Chaos runs through me
I force myself
To the other side
To redefine
My existence

8. Murk Of November 5:54
For every tear
Shed a frame on my wall
Reminders of despair
Keep count
Of the hits as I fall
Singing a song
With the darkest echo

Are you the sound
In the trees behind?

Now grabbed by my arm
I'm being dragged out
Through the murk of November
Led to a man desperate and lonely
A figure too familiar appears

Are you the sound
Of the leaves behind?

Are you the sound
In the trees behind me?
Please have your place
Walking before me

9. Buried 5:04
Did I hear you
Out there walking?
Please reach in
Though I told
I'm already gone

The new skin
Grown eats me alive
With you would you
Find a way inside

Lie the ugliest taste
In my mouth
The treaty
With death no existent
Names written
In cold stone

Now much like
The first two hiding
Now much like
The first two waiting

Through fears
And words forgotten
I meet you in silence
And I do bow down
