The Erosion of Sanity
Album - 19 gennaio 1993 - Debaser id 113961

The bright light of day
You'll no longer see
In a blind dimension
Henceforward you'll be

A burying in darkness, you will have to bear
Deep, you're drowned, in this optical nightmare
In vortex, your visions collapse instantly
Now your life is condemned to obscurity

Condemned to obscurity

Of your eyes you are deprived
Now touch what you would've seen
Like if you still had those eyes <i>[x2]

Lost in this void of light
There is nothing to see, everything to feel
With no more sense of sight
There is nothing to see, everything to fear

In the gloomy vault of nothingness
My imagination will agonize
Suffering of a psychic blindness
Nothing is all I recognize

In a blind dimension, henceforward you'll be
Buried in darkness and obscurity
Where visions in vortex collapse endlessly
For life, you are condemned to obscurity

Lost in this void of light
There is nothing to see, everything to feel
With no more sense of sight
There is nothing to see, everything to fear

In the tombs of pain and innocence
Forever were buried
Souls of those who've never asked to be
Scornfully immolated

The art of transplantation
Has saved a lot of lives
By frauding a child's adoption
I will be saving mine

[Lead: Lemay]

In the name of science
They've claimed being our saviors
Money is what keeps busy
These medical butchers
Soiled with blood all over their hands
They've just killed for a cuople of grand

Orphans of sickness were put to rest
Miserable adoption has torn their souls to shreds
Orphans of sickness now dwell in death
With nice tags on their organs, their existence will end

[Lead: Lemay]

Children were dissected
By those sick, demented

In the tombs of pain and innocence
Forever were buried
Souls of those who've never asked to be
Scornfully immolated

To achieve my transplantation
I stole a lot of lives
Through the kindness of adoption
All those lives are now mine

Orphans of sickness were put to rest
Miserable adoption has torn their souls to shreds
Orphans of sickness now dwell in death
With nice tags on their organs, their existence will end

Suddenly facial remains everywhere
Perpetual disfigurement that I'll have to bear

My hideous infirmity
Brings disgust to their faces
Destined to have a mask
Stuck on my face forever

Unconscious, here I lie
As I'm waiting my demise
The only thing that I had in my mind
Was to leave this world for a better life
But I never thought I would fail
My inflicted homicide

Grafting and countless surgeries
Just can't embellish my monstrosity

(Lead: Lemay)

Grafting and countless surgeries
Just can't embellish my monstrosity

(Lead: Marcoux)

Gruesome scars on my face
Which will never be erased
Having lived with this pain in mind
Make me see this world through a different eye
But it's up to them to change
Their biases inside

When I came near losing my own life
It made me learn the true meaning of a smile

My hideous infirmity
Brings disgust to their faces
Destined to have a mask
Stuck on my face forever

A way to travel
Discover and explore
Through man's anterior lives
To learn unspokenlores
Regression of the mind
Can't make it possible
To bring back existence
Where you had once dwelled before

Dormant souls... Resurrected

A brain transfer
From a sick man to a fresh cadaver
Prolongs the phases
To scan beyond his alzheimer
A rediscovery
Of lives which were forsaken

Avoid the frips of mortality
From the end life begins
Awakening of previous entities... Gensesis origins

Once revived
The brain functions would all deteriorate
His mental and physical
No longer would respond
When they split his skull apart
His brain and soul was gonl... Mysteriously

A way to travel
Discover and explore
Through man's anterior lives
To learn unspokenlores
Regression of the mind
Can't make it possible
To bring back existence
Where you had once dwelled before

Mortal fool.. mutilated

[Solo: Lemay. Marcoux, Lemay, Marcoux]

Since the earth was devestated
I alone, got isolated
Where daylight can't penetrate
Trapped beneath remains, I wait

Crawling survivors
Are screaming for life on their knees
Soon to be discovered
Stench-filled carcasses underneath

For such a long time
I've been trapped
So I can't tell if it's day or night
If only my cries
Could reach the surface
Inhabitated by mankind

They're searching for lives
Deception prevails, more corpses are piled
If they run out of time
Nothing more than shreds of carrion they'll find

Odors of existence

[Lead: Marcoux, Lemay]

If you smell the odours
To a rotted death it will lead
But among these odours
I'm still undiscovered beneath

Deep inside
Beyond all conceptions
Unconsciousness hides
A comatose existence

As your mind falls asleep
A second life is awakening
Far beyond imagination
The world of dream is where...
Your second soul will perish... Endlessly

Lands which no one's seen before... Dark as hell
There, alone, you are in this vault of fear

In imagination, time does not exist
'Till the end you'll bear this dormant misery
This dormant misery

[Lead: Lemay]

As you were opening your eyes
Your soul reinstates in consciousness
Reinstates in consciousness

Once the shades of reality disappear
In the shades of mortality they reappear

Far beyond
Dark imagination
Unconsciousness hides
A comatose existence

[Lead: Marcoux]

Next time when you fall asleep in your bed
Stiff and cold you'll be... dreaming with the dead
