Returning to Nihil Songtext
von Demon Shinegami

Looking through the memory book of my life
After some pages I get a frostbite
I was locked inside a crystal cage
And have lost the war I didn′t wage
Drowned in an eternal anguish
With too much despair to vanquish
Neither dead nor alive
On the way through this life

Slowly walking on the path of icy spikes
Judged by the unjust, without anyone to trust
Too exhausted by those endless inner fights
A frozen martyr, thus, shatters his heart into dust

Suddenly this page is getting rimed with frost
Then it fully crumbles and gets blown away
Now my life's first chapter is forever lost
Only my tormented shadow will remain


Now begins the book′s second chapter
A flame is blazing up around the dead shadow
And in a moment the icy crown of thorns was melted
I have spread the demonic wings after my rebirth

Instead of inner sufferings
A deadly wrath is ignited
I shall revenge myself thoroughly
And everyone will know fear
My own anger
Compensates for my weakness
I'd rejoice in
Setting the Earth ablaze

Fly across the world
My song of destruction
Turn the light into darkness
And spread pain and suffering

I have finally become the root of all evil in this rotten vanity
But my soul's flame is still too bright and unstoppable
It burns my shadow′s wings and face
And turns the second chapter′s pages into ashes


A sudden gleam highlights
The beginning of a new chapter
Like a brisk phoenix
My shadow has risen from the ashes

In a burned down world
The earth's energy
Has given life to
New sprouts

In the center of the galaxy
Surrounded by dark matter
The shadow of the crystal matrix
Hides an enormous garden
But all the flowers have withered here
The soul is put in stasis again
The chapter′s end is reached
The page has completely rotten

With a blow of wind
Begins the fourth chapter
Where my shadow suddenly
Gets resurrected once again
An unknown energy
Flows through my soul
And then I hear a melody
Which calls me somewhere far away

I overcome all obstacles
Like an unstoppable storm
I have banished the darkness
Which was suppressing my spirit

I've become exhausted after so much battles
And didn′t manage to achieve my goals
Finally the last page is being ripped apart by wind
Such is the disappointing ending of an inspiring chapter

This book's new chapter
Has begun
And today my soul
Awakens again

I have shut my eyes
And now I gaze into darkness
I have covered my ears
And now I listen to silence

Without a way
There are no delusions
From now on
I don′t want to wish for anything

I feel the purity
Of the void's embrace
After my own purification
I've thrown my mask away

At last my shadow
Has returned to Nihil
And the book of my life
Has already disappeared
