Description: This is a great album of this underground metal band .. enjoy

lyrics:
I'll hold onto feeling until my final breath escapes
Gazing upon this world until it fades

Fall with me into the other night
We can go beyond the horizon again
Fall with me until we're out of time
Let the current swallow

These whispers keep clawing
Your mind is dissolving light
Sink while you bathe in hallucination

Accept this descent into the night
Releasing your grasp to induce separation
Plunged into the shadows
Lost in sensation we're free falling down
into the everblack
Can you feel it?
These pins and needles

Trapped in sensation
See what you have found here
You fell into the dark

Release your grip and face the tide
Accepting this damnation
Relinquish flesh temptation
of the body and soul
The ebb and the flow
Nothing confessed
Put me to rest

Azrael
Guiding me beyond the veil
Obitual
Free me of this mortal shell
Enter into the darkest night
I will sink where I lie
Through the sands of time
Through the angel's eye
My final breath
Swallowed by the womb of death
Swallowed by the womb of death

Whispers are clawing
Your mind is dissolving light
Enter the void and fall with me

Enter the void
Fall

Release your grip and face the tide accepting this damnation
Relinquish flesh temptation
Of the body and soul
The ebb and the flow
Nothing confessed
Put me to rest

Azrael
Guiding me beyond the veil
Obitual
Free me of this mortal shell
Enter into the darkest night
I will sink where I lie
Through the sands of time
Through the angel's eye
My final breath
Swallowed by the womb of death
Swallowed by the womb of death

Sink while you bathe in hallucination
My final breath
Swallowed by the womb of death
As you pass through the fucking gate
Descending towards the end faster

Left To Suffer - Lost In The Dark Ft. Zelli Of PALEFACE SWISS

This was another song I wrote during those same emotionally turbulent high school years in the mid-1980s. If "Breakin' My Heart" was about the immediate shock of betrayal, "Shattered Illusions" dug deeper into the aftermath - that hollow feeling when you realize everything you believed about someone was built on lies.

The opening line "Midnight shadows, a phone that won't ring" perfectly captured those sleepless nights, waiting for someone who was never going to call. I remember writing that verse thinking about how naive I'd been, how I'd "built castles on empty words." The metaphor felt so real to me then - all those promises and dreams just crumbling down.

What I'm proud of in this song is the pre-chorus structure. Adding that extra emotional build before hitting the chorus made the impact stronger. "Shattering my world" felt like the perfect phrase to describe how completely someone could destroy your sense of reality when you're seventeen and think you know everything about love.

The bridge represents growth - moving from victim to survivor. "I'm done with your lies, done with the pain" shows that progression from hurt to empowerment that I was learning to navigate as a teenager. The outro ties it all together with "Your love was fiction, but I'll rise from this fall" - probably the most mature line I wrote at that age.

Like my other lyrics from that time, this sat dormant for decades until AI technology gave me the opportunity to finally hear these words with music. There's something magical about bringing teenage angst full circle with today's creative tools. The song now has that dramatic, emotional sound that matches the intensity I felt when I first wrote these words.

Shattered Illusions

[Verse 1]
Reflections
Contortions
The human condition's clear
The beginning of the end
Unending
Has no purpose
Here
Dismantling
Unraveling
The chemicals inside
Beneath the skin
The soul within
We are the mirror's edge

[Pre-Chorus]
We're better off
Just close the coffin

[Chorus]
All we are
Is chemical
Molecular
The same as dirt
We're better off dead
There's no purpose
It's the beginning of the end

[Verse 2]
Just flesh and bone
Stripped to the bone
Unplug the machine
And burn it all down
When all hope is gone
You are free
And you are the one who owns your fate

[Pre-Chorus]
We're better off
Just close the coffin

[Chorus]
All we are
Is chemical
Molecular
The same as dirt
We're better off dead
There's no purpose
It's the beginning of the end
