it's always fun doing this even though most of my interpretation doesn't make any sense :) let's try to figure these out


Ghost of martyr
Lingering dead
Ghost on harvest bed
Voice rips on the pillar
Come dormant hound
Crimson face upon the head
Ghost of perdition
Stalking in chains(chairs?)
A warning no one read
Tragic friendship
Caught inside the fog
Pouring venom to the sea bed

Devil crack the earthly shelf
I(for-?) told you was the one
They open to the rumors(room?)
As if(said?) you have to live before you die young

Devil crack the earthly shelf
I told you was the one
They open to the rumors
As if you have to live before you die young

Holding it down
Gathering darkness
A mock for the cold
Fading resistance
Draining the weakness
Penetrating in a light

Rode into the dark unaware
Winding ever higher
Higher....higher.....

Darkness by her side
Spoke and passed goodbye
Dedicated hunger(hunter?)
Waits to pull us under
Rose up to its call
In his songs(sons?) she found
Mother life we see
The faithful servant's free

You’re driving insane on the sanity
Another voice outside the name
Like golden pages in a diary
They contemplate there is no same
We go in and talk all morning any day
Why you want the melody(enemy?) to live
This(the?) song(sun?) is clear and once within a haze
What you should to take and what to give

Ghost of perdition
Save(same?) reminitions are clear (?)
Keeper of all the lore (?)
Keeper of all lies
Ugh!

To see her beloved son
In despair of what's to come

If we got the source of the flow and everything we take
We commit to fall in the shadow of the righteous
The fragments among your mind have been telling(calling?) you to go (?)
Define the forgotten moors(moments?) where the victim hits the frame
Ahh!

Higher….higher…..
 
Yeah, there are some great, evocative lines in there. I'm sure the actual lyrics are going to be pretty kickass.
 
2:20

Fading resistance, draining the weiners. :erk:

Edit: Ah you had the same, didn't bother to read it. :tickled:
 
was there any reason you put the growls in caps cause it looks like some teenager reciting lyrics to someone over aim now
 
I thought that 8:47 part sounded like "....and everything would change"

Ugh!

The fragrance bog your mind like ????? Gooo
Define the forgotten moors where the victim hits the frame.
Ahhh

Higher….higher…..
made a few minor changes... some of them may not be right.

Draining the weakest?
hm yeah that could be it, suprised that didn't come to mind before.

Also some more corrections (or i think so ):
contemplate there is no ? -> contemplate there is no same
The fragrence -> The fragments
forgotten moors -> forgotten moments

That bit really sounds like moors to me...
Hm yeah, though "moments" seems to fit better into the context of the line...


In his sons she fall -> In his songs she found
We can go and talk -> We go in and talk
The fragrance bog your mind like ????? Gooo -> The framents among your mind have been telling you to go (?)
 
Yeah, it could really be either. I think on a closer listen it might be moments... he just really slurs it.
 
I always thought the first line was "Ghost of Murder"
/?

After listening a couple times I guess it is Martyr, although Murder sounds alot more metal.....power metal.......
