The Faceless Men - Prologue We failed to rise and reach out for life We drowned and became a shapeless mass Unbound ghosts to melt in a freezing crucible where all becomes none…
2.
The Faceless Men All ambition to fail and we find comfort in a deadly routine As our faces start to fade our dreams and hopes hang on the scaffold Some nights in my bed I hear words, a whisper from my childhood self A past long since gone, have I lost the will? I blend with the faceless men Greet me for the first time again for tomorrow you won’t remember me In an aimless life I walk Amongst hundreds on a traceless trail A man with no face, I am no one And so we all march, each step as an echo to the song that was heard a thousand times I blend with the faceless men, greet me or him, there’s no difference for we are the ones you won’t remember In an aimless life we walk We are hundreds on a traceless trail In sickness and in health Until death do us all apart Grooms and brides in one shade of grey One ring to bind us all We are no one
3.
Grief Under Light If there’s a ray at the end If there’s a road made of sparkles and gleams Then where’s the joy and the solace? Then why are my feet and my eyes burning more and more? Near the arrival Failures unveil the grief under light Weak, well insensitive To all of my seeing To all of my feeling The beauty, the comfort So bright to me, so blurry for me A tons of lies I kept faith in Reveal themselves all around Marching toward their realm I struggle Missing my sweet penumbra Near the arrival Failures unveil the grief under light Outmind and outcast From the preserving shadows The light occults the real evil! Unearth the depths of despair From this fake heaven And the vicious flames To hide as the healers of my pain Near the arrival Failures unveil the grief under light Outmind and outcast From the preserving shadows

Nowhere Safe 04:11
Nowhere Safe The rays of the sun did shine on my cradle But it was always darkness I needed I was born in the brightest light And kept all shadows inside me I am my own destruction From the pain I inflict to myself there is nowhere safe And I crave for a shelter but every wall I build is a mere ruin And I built many towers and castles Stones piled on unstable ground I always knew that I would fail I just needed to show you how I am my own destruction From the pain I inflict to myself there is nowhere safe And I crave for a shelter but every wall I build is a mere ruin Insanity has found its place in my head I only build to destroy For how long shall this game be played? Don’t you get I don’t want to be saved? From the pain I inflict to myself You cannot protect me Even your warmest embrace won’t mend theses scars I am my own destruction From the pain I inflict to myself there is nowhere safe I am done, no more need for a shelter…

Heal 05:37
Heal Many moons have passed, I thought I was safe but your kindness has come to take the last pieces of me. I thought I killed you after so many nights. Nights I spent in freezing cold nightmares. I escaped your eyes to bury my pain but you stay in my mind like a scar in my soul. With each word you speak I take a step backward into the darkness I built for too long. Tell me how far should I go to forget your face? To forget your name? Help me forget! Tell me what is to be done? Shall I kill you for real to erase your ghost? Don’t stay near me, please let me heal… Once more the sun rises as I roam in new lands. I search in the distance a place to be deaf to your words. But your faintest whispers still resound in my head, an echo that never fades like the marching drums of a love to profound to die. It will never die… Tell me how far should I go to forget your face? To forget your name? Help me forget! Tell me what is to be done? Shall I kill you for real to erase your ghost? Don’t stay near me, will you let me heal? You make me suffer from a pain that won’t fade, if you still love me, let me go… And you shall see me sailing towards lands of light, to the brightest haven and you will know that the peace I’ll find there, I’ll owe it to you. Please, forgive me if we cannot travel there together. I wish we had not failed this dream… I wish we had not failed… Tell me how far should I go to forget your face? To forget your name? Help me forget! Tell me what is to be done? Shall I kill you for real to erase your ghost? Don’t stay near me, please let me heal…

Don’t Let Me Wake You create your perfect world Shining sun Caressing breeze To escape reality Just a moment to ease the pain Again and again The more you dream The more you need it Don’t let me wake from my perfect slumber! How nice it is to rest for a while and a while longer until drowning in apathy Nothing’s left to fight for The beauty dies in its own venom And there’s nothing left to dream about A need for pain to feel alive A need for rain to hide some light You’ll shine brighter when you’ll break the dark Don’t let me wake from my perfect slumber! How nice it is to rest for a while and a while longer until drowning in apathy Help me out of my new reality, the strength I have painted on ruined walls has made me weak! Now I’m lost and build my dreams on worn out dreams, each new lasting a little less and I’m weakening still Don’t let me wake from my perfect slumber! How nice it is to rest for a while and a while longer until drowning in apathy Until the dream becomes real Reality is reversed

The Temple of the Void I escaped the darkness hoping to enlight my soul. I sacrificed all that I built only to find an endless void. A phoenix not yet reborn, the ghost of a bird that longed to be free only to find a cage without bars. Not even flying but floating and roaming, aimless being not ready to cry. And I wander in the empty halls of a shapeless monument and as my past seems to blur, my future becomes more uncertain. And I fear nothing is left of me, I’m but one more spirit in this temple of the Void. Nothing left to feel, all passion turned to ash, tasteless pieces of life gathered to become a mountain of failures. Nothing worth living for, nothing worth dying for, should I regret the pain? Maybe I will! Did I heal in vain? Who will kill me to make me live again? Free me from the temple of the Void!
8.
For The Restless Souls Behold this horizon As endless as your pain Calling you and shivering To be faced, to be crossed Is there one last home to be found? Maybe one last door to be opened? And you’ll finally become one with light Will finally become one with aeons Demons of the past were buried alive In a coffin made of regrets One will, one flame, one goal To erase their escaping shadows and ghosts Trying to reach you As the afterlife is waiting for you As its beacon is piercing the fog of your thoughts And binds you with a light breakthrough You will fly!

The Final Rest Once more I wake up In the dead of the night Nightmares that I have known for too long I long for an escape Far from these lands Were words have lost all their meaning The colour of skies The smell of the grass In this place for me is far too well known Where will I find a place to rest? What more can I give to redeem my past? Failures I bear in my soul like a cross of guilt Shall I give all that I’m left? Embrace the fate of he who was born too late So come claim my life and grant me my final rest I am done with these failures (I’m done with these failures) Now help me ease the pain Erase my too many mistakes, let me start anew From birth til death, from death til birth I shall now begin my journey home For death is a home For all those who’re lost Redemption to find in nothingness From north to south From east to west No land for me is far enough I stride forward From a cold stony shore to a colder ocean I wade then swim Then let myself into the deep Undoubted path The end will make my wrongs alright So come! Come claim my life and grant me my final rest I am done with these failures (I’m done with these failures) Now help me ease the pain Rise! Freezing waters, hold me in your embrace I commit myself to the deep To your arms… And as I sink I become the darkness I choose the sea to be my grave My eyes are closing I become nothingness Let’s dive into the waters to die Far from these lands I die! Come claim! Come claim my life and grant me my final rest I am done with these failures (I’m done with these failures) Now help me ease the pain Rise! Freezing waters, hold me in your embrace I commit myself to the deep To your arms so cold At last I have found a piece of serenity From numb to feelingless From life to death Into nothingness I have found my peace Waters in my lungs Help me find my peace…

about

Path of Desolation Lausanne, Switzerland

Long is the path to desolation and enlightnement. And lo! How much distance was covered by Swiss metallers PATH OF DESOLATION since their 2014 EP. Sharp riffs, melancholic melodies
and powerful vocals are the trademark behind these
gems of melodic death metal, evoking at times Dark Tranquility, In Flames or Insomnium.
