lyrics

Untimely burns always your flagrant flame

Demise - tormentor of my nights,

You tossed my shade against the falls

And much I have marveled sinking into your depths.



There are sufficient nails for each heart to stab

And enough rope for every throat to crush.

When truth's blaze inflicts the fever of countless suns

The nobler of all sentiments remains the loathing of oneself.



Falsehood is nothing but a mild pill to swallow.

Amidst every surge of a thousand dreams befalls a sanctuary of bones.

Declaring war on Neptune is no more far-fetched than the prospect

of appointing a scapegoat to endure the sins of others,

In hopes of attaining forgiveness and salvation.



There is no victory, but a desperate sense of heroism,

Collapsing into mercurial reflections of a decaying sanity.

Defiance becomes nought but a metonym for fear.



Sleep is the manifestation of our longing for death,

When life boils the cancer which imprisons the moment.

A senseless chase towards a beacon of ill-defined worth,

where delusion is hurled like crumbs to feed the endlessly famished laughter -

Endowed with admiration are the apostles of Santhara.



I wished the Sun away,

I wished for its demise.

I prayed for mist to lay, cleanse everything that lies.

On ground or high above, no sign of the wondrous dove.

There is, however, passionless draught and rain.

I feel as if each drop is smoldering my pain.

about

Gravatus image

Gravatus Romania

Gravatus was brought forth in the late days of 2007 as a contrasting musical manifestation set initially to delve into the most caliginous fringes of the human experience in relation to the nature of being. The reasoning behind the name, which stems from Latin -
translated as "sick" or "burdened", is to illustrate the symptomatological aspects of existence.
