Thundering are the skies as dark clouds cry. Unfolding before my eyes, majestic mountains rise, grimier greens start as darkness cries. Through my steps, seen all that could be, to reach the mountain peak, so infinite. To wander among this rotten lands to achieve deity. Oh, such a divine treasure calling to me. Oh, can't you hear it? Oh, how they speak. To wander among these rotten lands. Delirium opus, caused by the void that engulfs this world. Shadows crying... Getting closer... Run! Legs are failing through decaying woods that slumber waiting for demise. Skies open their own mouths to welcome me to their light. So blinding, spitting image of my destiny. It's so blinding but the temple reveals finally. I must take the scroll, tears from a life. Entering through the gates of the temple. There's no turning back, no past matters now, not mine. Take another step as the rain ecos in the distance. Take another breath as the moon sobs. Fears and regrets, all withering away as my heart stops. The seventh scroll, of sorrow and decay, of life and death: the mistake of the being with no name. Grant me my eternal desire. Pierce me, oh cold void. Lost all meaning now. Hopelessness, the ink in which chaos was born. Pierce me, oh great earth. Grant me eternal life. Hopelessness, a burden no more. I will prevail. Blessed to watch you all burn. Trapped in essence, so cold. This cosmos revolves around my own being, so empty. Blessed to watch you all burn under the darkness of time and regret, of sorrow and decay. So empty. So glorious. Now looking down on rotten earth. Something's not right. I fear this silent night for shadows chase me.

Inside open eyes, an unfulfilled life. Something's not right. Past the gates of the mind, an infant cries. And so it beckons. Oh, how they speak to me so sweetly words of promise: a reign, forever. A forgotten sun hides under its veil, a visceral sky that reigned over their souls. Lifeless, neglect, converge into one. Lifeless no more. Emptiness, silent ash covering all with dead flames. At the death of the light I wander through these pages of night. From where I come only shadows remain. Only shadows remain. Syha'h lw'nafh ilyaa ya. **Eternal life awaits me.** Yar ah mglw'nafh. **Time is dead.** "That which gave birth yet killed its own children, that which rose life just to watch it burn, grant me the meaning I seek." Reborn. Curse is broken. Reborn. Bringer of fire among this desert of ash. From where I come only shadows remain Only shadows remain. Darkness (Only shadows remain) Broken but now reborn. Emptiness, silent ash covering all with dead flames. At the death of the light I wander through these pages of night.

And darkness embraced the world. Ancient spirits rise from the shades, called upon a most grim feast. Avert thine eyes, oh holy mother of the night, who shines through the forest giving birth to the ink in which chaos was born. Its blackness reaches all life. All torn apart. Dreams as broken as hope. Should I even run? I fear this silent night for shadows chase me. The wandering soul cried for his forgotten sun, chased by his own shadow. Hopeless, he crept beneath a hole under a dead tree. There, he prayed for his gravedigger to come. (narrado) "Oh mother" "Grant me strength" "They're coming" "I can hear their screams!" All torn apart. Dreams as broken as hope. Cannot hide anymore. A trap for the forlorn. Through rotten trees and frozen breeze creeps this curse I brought upon me. I tried to run, I tried to hide but silence's laughing at my cries. I saw them crawling by my side, there's no escape. Time's running fast. Rushing in darkness as my trace gets lost in the winds of the past. Ancient spirits hawl from the shades, called upon a most grim feast. Avert thine eyes, oh mother, for thy child hath awakeneth. Darkness embraced the world. Terror. Pain. Hell. Frozen the air, my soul. The moon watches, oh mother of the night.

Awoken. I am the doom and fate of all, ruler of all. Inside open eyes, the infant dies within me. The peak of existence, another mere step in my way. Avert thine eyes for thy child hath awakeneth in the tides of dark and light. Won't be defeated. No longer a man. Nightmares, fears and silence are silenced. As they watch me rise through their skies.
6.
Awoken II 04:33
Chained to the rotten ground, my wings are failing me. Have I been betrayed by the watchful moon? Avert thine eyes, don't stare at me, falsely hidden from the laughs of God. "It's all in my mind, it's all in my mind" cried the hapless. "It's all in my mind" The man fell to his knees... ...as his shadow faded, its nature now known, the nightmares, fears and silence the child couldn't run away from.

There's no man or god who can reach the top of madness. My subordination caused our annihilation, the floor full of bodies. They cry as they pronounce my name. A nation through devastation. Fear in perfect reflection. Blood drains the earth and dust awakens. Reality is broken, no change can appear. Light is fading, the abyss makes all dissapear. Blind, blind, can't see the past but delightfull remembrance of smell of rotten bodies. They're all calling His name, attempts are in vain, but remaining souls want to survive again. Dimensions mixed into a blood bath of cries, fear and darkness. All the hope erased, our land is rotten behind our feets. We plea for your comeback again, but nothing seems to change that. An unknown universe is colliding and changing all. The only key to keep existence; they are decaying, can't difference who is friend or foe. Carnage upon their dying minds, a lot of sacrifices that aren't worth at all, and nothing seems to change that. We need back our lord! "Look inside me. An error was birthed." "No one can change the mess I made, hypocrisy of mankind knowing its end. Turn on your knees and pray for me. All you can see is turning grey!" "No god can reach upon me! Terror still... constantly." Fatal error collides in this no mans land. "We are all lost! We are condemned! We can't return. We're left for dead..." "We are all lost! We are condemned! We can't return. We're left for dead..." Death awaits. They try to hide. They try to live. No chances of survival. They run in circles. This doesn't break the cycle. Mankind turning psycho. "I think we are lost." A nation through devastation. Fear in perfect reflection. Blood drains the earth and dust awakens. Reality is broken, no change can appear. Light is fading, the abyss makes all dissapear. Blind, blind, can't see the past but delightfull remembrance of smell of rotten bodies. They're all calling His name, attempts are in vain, but remaining souls want to survive again.

Cities collapsed. Humanity failed. Mountains crumbled. Oceans went dry. The sun engulfed the Earth. Darkness engulfed the sun. Black holes shreded the stars, later turned to cosmic dust. Last light faded. Space felt meaningless so it ran away. Time died and eternity embraced the cold void.
9.
The soothing light went through the curtains to bathe me in its juvenile wrath, to welcome me into the everlasting. So long ago. I am one, I'm everything and none at the same. Only existence left are my thoughts. Only I can end this. Only I can end this. Only I can end this. I watched it all die in my arms as I craved for mercy. In the end, I don't regret it. My emptiness is shattered, finally at peace with myself. I long for the scent of green trees and the melodies of spring, Oh, the melodies of spring and the scent of lonely rain as it falls upon me. These tired eyes have witnessed those eternal colors fade away. Now, not even shadows remain. But after everything I've lived, everything I lost, I'm still human, me, after all. And still... I still don't regret it. Restless for so long, I close my eyes for I must take my rest, drifting through the cold void. I'll sleep and dream of all, waiting for someone to wake me up in the soothing light as its juvenile wrath warms me once again. It all lives within me. All that I cared for is safe within me. I'll sleep and dream of life, guardian of all that I loved. I'll sleep for now, until someone wakes me.

about

Nycrama's first album TO WITHER tells a prophecy, a vision of what's to come, or what may already have happened. An empty man leaves his empty world to embark on a quest for power. Guided by forgotten words, he attains Nycrama's Seventh Scroll -that of sorrow and decay- which grants him inmortality. The album serves as a psychological study as he confronts his demons, his now forgotten human nature and, in the end, time itself. The world of the divine shall not be disrupted by mere mortals. Thus, consequences come.
