Roll on One
03:10
|
|||
no, this was not my voice I swear
those were not my words that shattered
someone else's life
right, I will have to be the one
I will see the eyes of suffering
that will curse, that will damn my soul
when the storm shakes your essence
when the soul creeps outside
you will stab me with your question
tell me why tell me why
roll on one, roll on two
this is me and that is you
an abyss between the men
living in their own hells
fear, this is fear what I've become
when I wake up and it feels
like I'm about to ignite
pain, this is pain that I seed
what I hear and what I see
all the time, all my life
with so many ghosts that haunt me
with the screams inside my head
life has turned into demise now
and demise is what I am
with the dead walking behind me
with the dead walking ahead
I will drown into madness
with my soul forever dead

Narayama
04:26
|
|||
i know we all
have horrid visions
where time is the gallows
age is the axe
tormented by fear
to take this decision
you're cursed to know
that you will be next
mothers to your own killers,
you sanctified their crime
we all walk the same way
gathering faith and counting days
to Narayama
cycle of madness,again and again
human inside me slain
human inside me eventually slain
you! you're the lord of my demise
you're the way to distant skies
you're the mercy in disguise
but don't you blame yourself, i pray
i only pray
to god to send snow
coldness is better
than hunger and beasts
long is the way
and deep is the sorrow
but don't turn your eyes
to the corpses beneath
that's not your will nor is it mine,
don't blame yourself for god's design
i, i am more than you can have
i am less than nothingness
i am all that has been left,
a living ghost, a mother's name
you're afraid to do your rite
more than I'm scared to die

Frozen to Life
03:49
|
|||
i'm earning, I'm longing
i'm hungry for this
i call it non-existence
whatever however resides inside my mind
from everything so distant
blessed be, be the madness
world belongs to the heartless
i'm soaring, i'm flying
above the fog of doubt
the sunshine of indifference
and nothing and no one
affects my peace of mind
my bliss of non-existence
shut me down and bind me tight
separate me
need no guide and need no light
devastate me
freeze me down and stop my heart
then de-soul me
I don't want it torn apart
best be frozen
best be frozen to life
blessed be, be the madmen
world belongs to the heartless
world is mine

Fractured
04:05
|
|||
a cursed lot of faces
worn under ill stars
no king to this kingdom
but each craves the throne
of a mind long forlorn
will you pick one
who will decide what i decide
who will be me of all mes
is this a life is this a crime
reason and cause I can't see
none of my selves will be free
a smile soaked in tears
a skirmish of voices
a sinister stare
of a phantom of soul
behind a great wall
i want what i hate
i seek what i've found
i pray to a god i denied

A Nobody's Shadow
03:30
|
|||
i, i close my eyes
isolation from your lies
a nobody's shadow
grinning down at me
i stay off your ways
on this mass illusion day
a nobody's shadow
spitting in my face
fed on oblivion
powered by a wordless noise
that's how we're living
nothingness fills the void
a nobody's shadow's watching
from behind the broken glass
what you've done, where you've gone
all erased
stay away, stay away
silence is the only way
you are nameless, you are faceless
you’re a pawn in this game
stay away, stay away
world of madness down the way
see the angels of depression
with their cruel eyes ablaze
faces, rayless suns of the souls
grins, wingless birds of dead emotions
me, hollow mannequin of flesh
you, but a shadow of no one
a nobody's shadow's watching
from behind the broken glass
what you've done, where you've gone
all erased
tongueless servant, armless soldier
scorch my body, I never will
walk with you, escape with you
to the shadow land

...and Silence Prevailed
03:51
|
|||
greet the speechless
for they descend the final path
bearing the stabs of stares
dream designer
i see you grin in fading lights
this is final
buried, buried deep inside
the word remained forever
born to no avail
bludgeoned, torn, and severed
and silence prevailed
blessed to share the vision
destined to share the fall
at war with every day
was it time, was it faith
was it ones and zeroes
the future lost its shine
smothered now in the grave
buried in the urn of time

Embrace the Emptiness
04:18
|
|||
… insignificant
crawling under my feet in the dark
is the city so mean and so weak
leaving nothing but decay and reek
i can’t be part of…
i can be part of this no more
in the cold of the day
in the void of the night
in the dirt of the past
in the fog of the dreams
there is no place for me
there is no place for me
in the slush of beliefs
in the mess of hope
in the weakness of words
in the mist of ideas
there is no place for me
there is no place for me
…unremarkable
standing here alone at the edge
getting ready to make this last move
proving nothing and seeking no truth
i can’t be part of...
the emptiness is waiting
starlight is slitting my eyesight
but do i want to see?
no!
thunder, it deafens me blank
but do I want to hear?
no!
wasting, i’m wasting my religion
i am wasted for the visions
and who will give a damn?
slaying, i’m slaying my beginnings
i’m slain for believing
as I embrace the emptiness
the emptiness is waiting
...insignificant

Cosmic Loneliness
03:35
|
|||
mud merely and only
playground in the endlessness of space
now, now you look upon me
in your everlasting cosmic loneliness
i ask you i dare you
but i know what you'll say
there is no time
it's just another rule of your winless game
there is no life
i was, i am, i will be
it's all the same
i wonder if we are
stains on the face of earth
is it just for death the king
to throw a feast
shadows of the doom
echoes of the fate
tremble, startle, shake
rays of phony hope
light of bitter truth
taunting ever more

Venomous Sunrise
04:24
|
|||
need your warmth to believe there’s no end
need your words it was not all in vain
to believe this was true
to believe this was true
when the memories die in the flames of time
there’s my hope I find in your voice
oh my god, let us hide from the dawn
how can I disbelieve, how can I be afraid
it is us who carry the light
is it us who will dwell in the night?
you
gave me shelter from my wounded past
built a temple to worship my love
now it’s you who lives inside me
(i)
trod a distance within your caress
found a heaven inside your embrace
let me die on your hands
before…
venomous sunrise, venomous sun, rise
venomous sunrise, venomous sunrise
rays scar my eyes
venomous sunrise, venomous sunrise
sun slays my dream
need your lies to believe there’s no end
need your touch to believe I’m alive
to believe this was you
to believe this was me
when the sunrise arrives there’s no time to forgive
there’s no time to promise again
when the venom of light speeds through ashes of night
i will know this is the last time

The Viewer
03:31
|
|||
i've seen this face, i've heard this voice
but these are stranger's eyes
a storming heart cries out for help
but it gets no reply
unable to prove,
unskilled to explain
i am nothing
but a viewer of pain
unable to prove
unskilled to explain
i am nothing
veiled with despair, a blinded soul
is trapped by growing fears
i try to speak, but helpless words
fall into the abyss
unable to prove
unskilled to explain
i am nothing but a viewer of
madness in disguise
whispers crisping in the mist
a calm than never comes
someone else instead of me
better be renounced
sordid demons of confusion
make your friends arch enemies
and the deepest silence ever
breeds the voices of distress
can't bring you back the solitude
can't haunt away the screams
you're not alone when no one's here
you see what only seems

Slay My Sanity Chelyabinsk, Russia
Slay My Sanity were formed back in 2009 in Chelyabinsk by Alex, Dmitry and Danil. It took them another couple of years to complete the formation of the line-up. The ensemble was forced to go through lengthy breaks due to two members serving in the army. With everybody back in business and scores of gigs played, Slay My Sanity got down to recording a debut album which they finally released in 2015 ... more
