[M: Petrozza/Gosdzik/Fioretti/Reil ú L: Petrozza ú c Dark Wings]



[I gave this song a new title since it is the first version of "Winter Martyium", only available on the "Renewal" demo. Listening to the song today I wonder why it did not make it onto the album. Especially the lyrics are cool since they deal with the typical autumn/winter depression I have to go through every year of my life. The drumming is amaz-ing, respect to Ventor at this point.]



Passing of perception unforseen reaction

Staring out the window into the ice cold air

Memories of summer causing my depression

Through concentrated death and rainfall of despair

Visionary eden turns to hell



Winter martyrium

Freezing me from inside

Pastlife delirium

As my tears turn to ice



Snow the white empress, frost the ice cold forest

At mountains of dead bodies I drank the sweetest wine

Spring awaits lust for the autumn dominatress

Life remains a dream within a dream visionary symbols

ancient shine



Summer's gotta come bringing back the sun

Zero to none, winter awaits us all

Mystic awareness



With God conversing wide awake in your sleep

Shining discovery mankind martyrium

Planets of terror, hatred and deceit

To live it means to suffer to die to live forever

I'm left here with the others we could not die together

And as I saw them dying I knew it had begun

Emotional massacre

A visionary kingdom come
