Helevorn - Compassion Forlorn lyrics



Tracks



01. The Inner Crumble

Watching smothered souls through my eyes
From within my pain won't leave
Singeing way deep down, far inside
Nothing reaches, nothing helps

My eyes cannot see
No regret inside me
Is there anyone who can cause the pain to flee?

Hearing my silence become my inner crumble
Now I watch innate compassion furnish primal hate

Watching searing souls through my eyes
From within my pain won't leave
Singeing way deep down, far inside
Nothing reaches, nothing helps
I now live out my deepest hell

How far have you gone?
Find me, I am lost
Is there anyone who can cause a change in me?

02. Burden Me

Hey, why do you care, fool?
Returned to you, is nothing but dust

Imagine he is kind, the man who carries light
Believes in filthy mortals, all these things pass him by
Remembering what it means to wholly sacrifice
Is there day or only night?

Now fall to your face it's your damnation
Taking all you have, demanding more
Insatiable, you shall reap what you sow
It's all your fault

Imagine he is kind, the man who carries light
Believes in filthy mortals, all these things pass him by
Remembering what it means to wholly sacrifice
Is there day or only night?

No one makes me calm
Please, I'd throw my life away
Swallowed tears, I'm on my own

It's your fault!

Now fall to your face it's your damnation
Taking all you have, demanding more
Insatiable, you shall reap what you sow
It's all your fault

No one makes me calm
I'd throw my life away

03. Looters

You can't carry on your smile

One fist breaks the window
So scared now?

I can't find, find the truth about you
Your soul is full, full of ambition
I must escape to survive in this life
But now it's the time to implore redemption

You can't carry on your smile
How long will you stay in my land?

Hatred is becoming my last way of restitution
The looters are stealing our illusions, all our miracles
The looters are all coming to dominate our lives
And to depreciate all that we've yearned for

Inside my body, I feel sparks
Meanwhile I'll never accept decline

I couldn't find, find the truth about you
I was that man, now I'm feeling internal rage
Should I run or should I stand, stand and fight?
I cannot leave your fate to chance

04. Unified

Poisoned flowers, broken vows, glowered stares
Injected madness taking over, now dead to the world

You see me as someone else
A mere shadow of former self
And now niceties fade away
No excuses, I am to blame

I am empty deep inside
Hesitation made me unified

I now bleed as someone else,
A mere shadow of former self, no excuses

It now reaches the very depth of me
Complete loss of sanctity
The sickness for eternity

From where I am, from where I stand
I am now not the one in command
Rights are thine, with closed eyes I'm unified
Rights are thine, I am unified!

I am empty deep inside
Hesitation made me unified
All I can see are just simple minds
None are caring we are blind

05. Delusive Eyes

Way back when I could see
A burning brush inflamed a tree
But I'm running from the fire
Now the flame encircles me
This scene scathes into memory
Now it's all coming back

Run, run away from delusive eyes
But I face now flame and cries
Run, run away from delusive eyes
Hide your face from fire's lies

Run, run away from delusive eyes
But I face now flame and cries
Run away!
I'm trying to rise again

Those around me, those before me
I cannot now trust anyone
My face now falls back to the mud

As far back as I can see
My broken legs buckle under me
But I'm running from the fire
Now the flames encircle me
I try, but fall again down to my knees
Now it's all coming back...

Run! Now I relive my horrid sorrow
Run! There will be no more tomorrow

Run, run away from delusive eyes
But I face now flame and cries
Run away!
I'm trying to rise again!

06. I Am To Blame

Tear my flesh out, rip it from my bones
In rage my blood burns red
I'll die a savage death
Beat in my head with heavy stones

Regret and pain, my head in shame
I watched him die and did nothing
To live while he just passed away

Break my bones give me the blade
Slash my throat and seal my fate
Throw me in a hollow grave

Vida que és meva, que és com un raig dins de la mar

Take me!
Take me now!

07. Reason Dies Last

Far away from what I know
I am trading a life for a life
Every day I'm looking down

How long does it take to get there?
I will just rest for a while
Every day I'm dying

Rise completely
And I will help you to understand
I am trying to rescue everything
And my life falls from my hands
Your's just beginning

For though my belief in humanity fails,
Amidst a darkening field of blueing hues,
My body dies calmly; my skin turns yet pale,
I know I will live on through memories true

Quod Fuerim Ultimum

For all that I feel will live on!

Far away from what I know
I am trading a life for a life
Every day I'm looking down

Take me away from what I know
I am trading a life for a life
Every day I'm dying

Rise completely
And I will help you to understand
I am trying to rescue you everything
And my life falls from my hands

I don't trust the wind or rain
To carry my message away
My heart is written in stone
I am sorry I could not stay

Now I am fading
My spirit arise

08. Els Dies Tranquils

Calla, Azbe, i escolta
aquest silenci vast,
ferit d'aromes i colors terribles.
Ara és el temps
que els arbres s'equivoquen
i els ocells, desesmats,
mosseguen les tres cares de la nit.
Ningú no resa
dins la casa dels somnis.

Ningú no cau pels escalons del cel.
I la precisa
maquinària del temps, fulgent prodigi
de peces i engranatges, va girant
de cap enrera,
roent, xerriquejant:

Torna la llet
a les sines pansides; lentament
la carn es despodreix i les arbredes
arrelen cap al cel;

la llum

retorna cap al sol, passat la lluna,
i un déu de pedra sura sobre el mar.
Tu i jo,
dolça i tràgica Azbe,
encara no hem nascut.

[English translation:]

Now is when all nature dies
Human nature darkens skies

When all is lost
I look to you and you alone
I seek shelter from the rain

All I have done I've done for you
And you can't live with that
You want everything I am

Back in a time when things were dark
A veil of dim obscurity
From the mold of clay we came to earthen jars of weariness

From where we came to where we are
Bodies of life to veins of vinegar
We were so pure, where are we now?
Faith in man forfeits its lure

Punctured by smells and fierce colors
White hot, streaking
Shining in the sky
One last streak until I die

One last flame until I go
You mean all to me that...
