Marianas Rest - Fata Morgana lyrics



Tracks



01. Sacrificial

“We are things
That labor under the illusion
Of having a self
A secretion of sensory
Experience and feeling
Programmed
With total assurance
That we are each somebody
When in fact
Everybody is nobody”

Aw

Dawn into the white
Let the weight drag you in
Sweet void calling my name
For you
Only for you

And only
For you

Now lay still
We came a long damned way
To bury it all
Veiled in frost
How I long to hear the sound of wind
As I take my final step

Lay still
We came a long damned way
To bury it all
Veiled in frost
How I long to feel the slowing beat
As I draw my final breath

Into white
Into white
Into white
I give myself
To you

Lay still
We came a long damned way
To bury it all
Veiled in frost
How I long to hear the sound of wind
As I take my final step

Lay still
We came a long damned way
To bury it all
Veiled in frost
How I long to feel the slowing beat
As I draw my final breath

Veiled in frost
Veiled in frost
Veiled in frost

02. Glow From The Edge

“Shadows of men drifting on fumes
Driven by the glow that gave them birth
Containers for thoughts
Something that once got lost
Torn away of its soul
Nothing personal ever gave tribute
To what they are and here I am
Damned to witness it all
Damned to watch us all fall”

Deceived by the glow of the edge
To gaze into the ceaseless end to a futile quest
To fill the hollow inside with nothing
It never ends

Stereotypes thrown over the edge
Under unforgiving cold
I could swear I heard someone laugh
As we drove ourselves through the black

“I wish nothing more than the power
To take it all back
I never desired anything as much
As to have the strength to change the direction
I wish I could explain just how it feels
To know what I know now
To see what I have to see now
And to do it all again and again
Powerless
Part of an all-consuming cycle
In the end we all fall”

Deceived by the glow of the edge
To gaze into the ceaseless end to a futile quest
To fill the hollow inside with nothing
It never ends

Stereotypes thrown over the edge
Under unforgiving cold
I could swear I heard someone laugh
As we drove ourselves through the black

03. Pointless Tale

From the filth of withered ground
There once grew a thorn
Aiming past colorless blanket
For a sky drained of life

Swarth of soil escaped
Farther and farther
Towards oceans of grey
No matter how high it pushed
Warmth could not be found

Pray this night will never end
Black is a heaven sent
For we are lost without the dark
Carved of misery
Corrupt trom the start
Hope the light to never shine
For minds so unkind
We are only worth the dark
No more than the dark

A swing of a sickle
Cut down in a single stroke
You belong to the shadows
For a moment all seemed to clear

This life is sound and fury
Tale that fails to hold a meaning
And hope for better days
Is a weak match for the void
That fills us all

Pray this night will never end
Black is a heaven sent
For we are lost without the dark
Carved of misery
Corrupt trom the start
Hope the light to never shine
For minds so unkind
We are only worth the dark
No more than the dark

Yeah
A swing of the sickle
Cut down in a single stroke
A swing of the sickle

04. The Weight

Come and hear the thunder
Sounds from the final shore
Join the march to the edge
A path laced with regret

Beaten under the weight
But for once our minds will not bend
Never started this journey
But by gods
We will be the ones to make it end

Can you feel the thunder?
Can you feel the end?

See King Nothing on a crusade
Ruler of an empire of ruins
Pilgrim on a pale horse
Imposter left, imposter left
An empty throne

Erase the future
To dwell in the past
Wanderers lost in wasteland
With dreams cut down to size

This weight on our shoulders
Designed to crush to make us fall

This weight on our shoulders
Designed to crush
Designed to make us fall

Will you help me get through this?
As I see no other way
Please, guide me through this maze
It all has been too hard

Our steps through the snow
Feel like dancing on broken glass
Will you help me get through this?
For it all has been too long and hard

Can you hear the thunder?
Can you feel the end?
Can you hear the thunder?
Can you feel the end?

Come and hear the thunder
Come and feel the end

Come and hear the thunder
Come and feel the end

Come and hear the thunder
Come and feel the end

Come and hear the thunder
Come and feel the end

Come and hear the thunder
Come and feel the end

Come and hear the thunder
Come and feel the end

Come and hear the thunder
Come and feel the end

Come and hear the thunder
Come and feel the end

05. Horrokseen

“They were seen walking
Insensible and ignorant
Where they went
Scarcely could you succeed
In making them understand
A few words
When no longer able
To continue walking
Having neither power nor will
They fell on their knees”

06. Fata Morgana

You were really never here
And I was not there for you
This cold between us
Is something we could never
Remove

Pinned to the ground
Stuck in soil
Frozen where we stand
The distance obscured
Like through twisted glass

Not all you see is real
Not all you think you know is true
The ghosts between us
Distort the signal
Fata Morgana

Ooh

And nothing would ever please me
As to be there for you
Nothing would ever heal me
But to watch the world burn down
With you

Nothing would ever please me
As to be there for you
Nothing would ever heal me
But to watch the world burn down
With you

But this is something we can’t remove
Nothing we got to choose
It is how it is
Fata Morgana

Oh

You were really never here
I was not there for you
These ghosts linking us together
Illusion of vision
Fata Morgana

07. Advent Of Nihilism

Some things would be better not born
And there are words wiser left unsaid
“Not all shivering is due to cold”
He said calmly, dead in the eyes

You cannot strip a mindless of his will
“Death created time to grow the things it would kill”
We all know it’s true
But please, whisper to me
Say it ain’t so

We are a river that wants to reach the end
Soothing lullaby to silence the wisdom
Tells you to act, pitiful race pf a day
Children of accidents and sorrow
We get to drown tn the stream
And watch as nothing taints all

Rambling goes on
As the shadows grow tall
And values are just
Found on the market
The surface stripped
Nothing to reflect
Suddenly everything
Lacks meaning

Bury your morals
And descent deeper
The current will show you the end
To bring light into nothing
Ain’t easy
So, don’t hold your breath

We are a river that wants to reach the end
Soothing lullaby to silence the wisdom
Tells you to act, pitiful race pf a day
Children of accidents and sorrow
We get to drown tn the stream
And watch as nothing taints all

Ooh-yeah
We are the night sky without stars
We are the night sky without stars
(We are the night sky without stars)
We are the night sky without stars

08. South Of Vostok

”Siellä missä aikaa ei ole
Ja paikka on menettänyt
Merkityksensä tuuli sulki korvani
Kylmä kantoi kauas ajatukseni
Äärettömään mereen katoava jääkenttä
Pakkasen kasvoille tiivistämä sumu
Täällä aika katosi ja sijaintini
Poistettiin kartalta kun kaikki loppui
Minä olin täällä”

Oh
We roam to reach
The most desolate shore
Where frost covers our eyes
And wind will hide our scream

Here
Nothing ever was
Everything comes to die
Where no one can ever see
We set ourselves on

Fire
Here we stand and burn higher
Feed the flames to the frost
Fire
We are fuel for the dark
Maybe someone else will see
Our tracks in the snow

Fire
Here we stand and burn higher
Feed the flames to the frost
Fire
We are fuel for the dark
Maybe someone else will see
Our tracks in the snow

These distorted visions
Witnessed by chosen few
Known by indifferent all
Cared by none

Distorted visions
Witnessed by chosen few
Known by indifferent all
Cared by absolutely none
