Derelict 09:52
The coldest dreams I’ve had tonight And starless skies are all I’ve seen Bereft, the weeping waves, tonight Of any mercy There is no sun, when I’m out there A drowning sigh, when I’m out there I lay beneath the murk tonight To drown the thoughts that I can’t speak But underneath the waves I’m caught And down below I will stay I’m sinking still and you’re not there Where can I run away tonight That I’ve not been before? How can I lose myself tonight? Run away, far away Prisoner I am a prisoner We are all prisoners My friend, I’m sinking now My friend, so let me drown The air I breathe is liquid pain And I fear to close my eyes How can I claw my way back now? Or find the words to tell you why?

The rain is flowing down my back And tears are lost in the flood Vivid moments stir below And seep away from my aching grasp Iron heart, locked away Bleeding the perilous mind Tired heart, coldest grave Darkening all that was light Cancerous, consumed in silence now Floating still upon the dream Of that which might have been There should have been a place for us A place to heal Iron heart, locked away Bleeding the perilous mind Tired heart, coldest grave Darkening all that was light This world takes a piece of me to bury every day Love is just a bitter word, there’s no one left to reconcile or Blame Fire on the pain reflective sun And no one bothered to feel a thing There is no place colder than this moment This very moment Iron heart, locked away Bleeding the perilous mind Tired heart, coldest grave Darkening all that was light

Weighed down, astray Worn sky, sighing gray No light left to pray Black pain cries today No dreams find their way Black pain cries today Lost all shelter Lost all reason Frozen ether rain Silken voice of death Weighed down, astray Worn sky, sighing gray No light left to pray Black pain cries today No dreams find their way Black pain cries today I can’t forget… No days left to live

One long step behind Everything and everyone Can’t count on a restful place to hide Burning time, burning time… Looking back I see my shadows gone Here inside his world I’m safe from you and everyone If I could kill the endless pain If I could trust again I’m everywhere but there with you You don’t miss my face but you never did, and never will I’ve tried to drown, to burn your ghost to ashes There’s only silence left now And one regret One chance to stain a single strand of time Be something to someone and help them breathe One chance to put away your darkness now I’ll suffocate but there’s nowhere else that I can lose control I’ve lost you now Broken down and thrown away Becoming less of everything Don’t want to have it end this way Don’t want to suffer more today But I’ve been here before I will crush you and everything My pride has left me ravenous Still I bleed… One chance to put away the fears inside They will kill me, but better me than you my lovely friend Hopeless, in every way I have lost As night bears down, I stare into the black and feel so small I’ve lost you now Broken down and thrown away Becoming less of everything Don’t want to have it end this way Don’t want to suffer more today But I’ve been here before I will crush you and everything My pride has left me ravenous Still I bleed… I’ve lost you now Broken down and thrown away Becoming less of everything Don’t want to have it end this way Don’t want to suffer more today I have been here before I will crush you and everything My pride has left me ravenous

Star dreams and distance Forming pools of moonlight Draining down honey We came so close to the end I am still alone I am still afraid I am moving on Nothing left to say Desperate light burns and sways Whispers to the wordless dead We came so close to the end

about

There was a time when the songs of others spoke plainly to me. Then I believed the angels had an interest in the marvels humans conspired to achieve, naive as it now seems. In truth, my time here has been wasted, because I have failed to see the things that I came to see. My crime was a curiosity of the most fatal flavor. This is not substantial knowledge, but rather a keen sense of knowing, perceptions I cannot quantify in written word. The time of faith and understanding is past.

about

Black Materia

Black Materia was formed by the members of extreme metal band Beyond Fatal to explore a new musical direction.

"Not quite radio-ready, but definitely not underground either, the band straddles the middle and just lets the songs flow without much thought to who is going to think it’s too mellow and who is going to think it’s too harsh." metalunderground.com
