Ädäm A very independent album, which puts Into the Arcane perfectly in the ranks of such current bands as Sorcerer, Isole or Crypt Sermon. A must-have for all doom friends!

Dr. Philips & The Arcane Disorder In 1867 renowned researcher Dr. John P. Philips, started investigating a string of weird and unexplainable accounts of madness and despair. In his search for answers, he discovered a global connection linking each account to the other. In what he described as: "The Arcane Disorder", Dr. Philips interviewed dozens of "patients" and uncovered hundreds of manuscripts leading back to as early as 1534. He bundled his early findings into a collective he called: "Into the Arcane". These are his stories.

Sleepless we lie, thoughtless we cry As I lie, tossing and turning I slip into a void Wide awake, unable to move A cold breath makes my skin feel cold Sleepless we lie A pressure upon my chest Hard for me to breathe A demon shaped figure, upon me, as I lie underneath Wide awake as I dream Terror grips, I try to scream What is this creature that I see Tonight I die or so it seems Thoughtless we cry
3.
My Other Self This is my other self What is this what I see before me Can someone tell me this is real My mind keeps playing tricks on me I can not control what I feel I feel my limbs Acting on their own I have no control As if they are alone Reaching for objects Not my will Doubting movement Could it kill?

Een Leven Niet Geleefd Every day I look out my window and watch the seasons go by Why can't I see, what will happen? I have to know, how will I die? Een leven niet geleefd Want ik heb niets meer om te geven Ik zit gevangen in mezelf Op zoek naar rust in mijn leven People smiling, children play Can't go out, imagine what they would say? Closed my windows, bolted my doors No one can enter, I fear no more Een leven niet geleefd Want ik heb niets meer om te geven Ik zit gevangen in mezelf Op zoek naar rust in mijn leven Help me Weeks too late, they found my body, still seated in my chair All I wanted, was for you , for you see me for you to care I had to choose, one choice was left My final choice, took my last breath
5.
Reptilian Masquerade Prosopometamorphosia A term for her condition The faces before her, are like shells Morphing into something else Reptilian Masquerade She never told anyone, the tricks of her mind Believing it was normal to see this "other kind" Reptilian Masquerade It destroyed her sense of a social being Relationships fail, because of what she is seeing She described their faces as black and long A protruding snout and dragon like features, so strong Bright yellow eyes and reptiloid skin Seeking help, didn't know where to begin
6.
Thoughts on Breathing I will be the breath in your lungs I will be the shoes on your feet My love is true, can't you see But I end it all with your deceit My thoughts on breathing are not my own Must keep loving you and you alone My thoughts on breathing, end it all This curse you put on me, for I will fall I am here Must stay awake Conscious breathing This is my fate My thoughts on breathing are not my own Must keep loving you and you alone My thoughts on breathing, end it all This curse you put on me, for I will fall All the things my body once did, It does now only by conscious thought A single moment of inattention and I die Meeting you, the misery that you've brought My thoughts on breathing are not my own Must keep loving you and you alone My thoughts on breathing, end it all This curse you put on me, for I will fall

Lijdensdruk 06:55
Lijdensdruk Ik ren, ik roep en schreeuw zo hard Maar niemand kan mij horen Eenzaam in die volle straat Loop ik alleen en zo verloren Het verlangen van mijn geest Is om vrijheid te ervaren De lijdensdruk neemt af Mijn demonen, die bedaren Ik blijf voor altijd liggen De tijd voor staan, die is voorbij Ik blijf voor altijd liggen Met mijn depressie, zij aan zij Het verlangen van mijn geest Is om vrijheid te ervaren De lijdensdruk neemt af Mijn demonen, die bedaren Twijfelend aan mijn leven Blijf ik mijn angsten herbeleven

21, when I died It started, I was young, I left it all behind Delusion of negation, embedded in my mind Denial of existence, (is) the centre of it all Distorted my visions but I can't make that call Playing the cards, that I've been dealt It started, I was young, I left it all behind. Delusion of negation, embedded in my mind Denial of existence, (is) the centre of it all Distorted my visions but I can't make that call Deterioration of my body, is what I felt To see, to bleed, to witness to what I've seen To feel alive, not the self I've always been To feel, alive, while my body is dead Seeking help, my mind let go of what it had I was 21, when I died
9.
My Sane Asylum It was just, a simple test Say you hear the voices, inside your head A simple role, for you to play False insanity, would go away Insanity or fact? Reality, your mind's intact Walk these halls with me I'll show you where you can stay If you want to leave You'll have to change what you say Convincing, even the best We rigged, the entry test Walk these halls with me I'll show you where you can stay If you want to leave You'll have to change what you say Why must I stay here? Why can't I leave? My Sane Asylum
