With the old days born anew
A massive gathering of onlookers Sending birds to shelter the shipwrecked With feathers of dust and wind Emerging from the fiery fields We're all being stepped on like insects A million minds weeping This boundless energy This synergy it's better contained We are so free And what a superb absence is our soul Desire is a liar Blueprint of mankind's weakness Absolute absolution Criticize criticism We are weighed down every moment By the merciless sensation of time This is an epidemy Without remedy It's better contained Evolve, so free And what a superb absence is our soul Resolve this mirroring, wondering We believe in the signs Into the depths of the unknown Only there you will find something new What are you running from? Obsession? What are you running from? There are moments of existence When time and space are more profound And the awareness of existence Is immensely heightened This is the war of creation And time becomes a murderer Murderer! Bring me consolation Then we'll talk Inconsistent copy Abductor of every art form Eyes can't see what's beyond And the wind is silent So from the mould Scarlet and gold A bulb will rise A newborn Bring him consolation Then he will bless us Give him a Judas kiss and Face the consequence Eyes can't see what's beyond So long, my serenity Lost in a conversation Build these towers upside down Lost in this constellation And the wind is silent This is the war of creation And time becomes a murderer Murderer! Bring me consolation Then we'll talk Inconsistent copy Abductor of every art form Eyes can't see what's beyond And the wind is silent 02. The Sun's Architect
I've met my past
And my shadow just followed me home He screamed at the sun The piercing light would undo him True wanderer Only thrive when you're inside Behold the transformation I've struck a nerve here I'm caught adrift on a lonely breeze Unable to swim ashore Boundless thoughts will carry you Daylight glints through every seem And paints upon my skin Sunburn, burn me, sunburn Between the lifeless and senseless Between these gray mountain peaks Beneath the frozen ground I'm lost Contract to seclusion From sigh to storm I'm born again Walking backwards Towards my sins Black hole brother Catch me Whisper away These rivers of doubt I'm kept awake by sound Of mumbling mouths Speaking of the true you And landscapes, scarred and ravaged Shiver, scare away the crows Burn away the sun Burn away the center Burn away the sun The dusk is near My eyes paint black lines Upon the horizon A grim sight While needles of light Pierce the face that lies face down I try to stand up And face my shadow But he's hidden By the light I try to stand up And face myself But I'm hidden In the shadow True wanderer Only thrive when you're inside Behold the transformation 03. Awake
Man down
This hardened shell is broken My fate Is bound to what I've done Regrets I shuffle down the hallway Precious time It's all gone overboard Here is your calm down Here is your calm down pill I'll never be the same It'll never be the same With eyes wide open My body's floating down the river This life What have I confined you for? It's all inside It's all in silence When the raven gets its way A million thoughts are swept away And then you leave it all You leave it all behind And maybe next time we'll meet again And maybe I'll be less of a bitter man When I feel more I refuse to pay the ferryman I'm so attached to my temple He has to burn it down to get me Ebony demon, shriek all you want I'm not tagging along The shade, the burning blackness It is my protector Fear before the fall I can't grasp it all But at least I'm trying A light, a smoldering cinder Getting colder, ashen And letting all this go I'm not letting go I'm not really done here I won't let I won't let go Life's to short to be wrong And maybe next time we'll meet again And maybe I'll be less of a bitter man And if I could do it all over again I'd be the same man all over again When I feel more 04. Laments Of An Icarus
Now it's always been a riddle
Misanthrope, you always pursued a valid reason You know, to be wrong with a reason You are what you are But your ever present subliminal self bends the black You sleep so tight but dreamless Facing forward Dawn's edge, the supplement to destiny's ender You smother all the words you have never said With a mouth filled with empathy Words can be an enemy You can never say you're sorry 'cause you're a pretender Unpretend Fall from grace Unconcealed Just a phase Summer's bruise Turn a wrench Bottled thoughts Blind eye stare Look out of the window You stare in the face of a widow Drink up, like a lover You recreate all that's over The turn of the tide You're used up Just take it like a man, All you must do is confess The truth is a knife You are but one One straight answer What is it? Sculpture of an obsession A sound so profound it sings you back to hell The system's architecture Frames the antidote's gift Winter Summer cycle moves erratic Follow me, Aphrodite Faithless The one broken The one who can bend a spoon with his will Bow down Here's my antidote Priceless Honest Reaction (come on, come on) Take it Take it More Just another day in the rain And a sure shot inside the game Walk the dead man directly to his grave Without mourning, without nothing Be the same Divide by numbers, all uncovered Narrowed down from three to none my brother And the nearest beacon cries "I'm sober" But the truth remain unspoken Cynic without anger And a lover without passion And a fighter with a complex Worship your own cancer And a lesson without meaning It a lesson for the feeble Branded by all-in-one frights Antagonist, become my downfall I'm just a man and I can't grasp it all 05. One Eye For A Thousand
Eyes
A thousand eyes waiting below the waves Because above the rain burns My past becomes a lie Goodbye sense of awareness I drink adrenaline Like mother's milk It soothes me Remove all that I trust All I'm ashamed for State of remission I feed of the vulture I'm left breathless The battle is lost One step takes a thousand miles One black circle where I expected sun One blind spot One eye for a thousand eyes Where I begun Underwater I'm reborn I got stuck in the nether on a lonely cloud While the heat burns my feathers We're all homeward bound With a roar I dive down and I greet the seas With words from an opiate verse I am waiting for One hand to raise a thousand fists One moment caught in a thousand times One blind spot One eye for a thousand eyes One place to long for And I surrender to my pride I got stuck in the nether on a lonely cloud, While the heat burns my feathers We're all homeward bound With a roar I dive down and I greet the seas Goodbye These eyes have seen the abyss This mouth has told a thousand lies My hands are washed in guilt and I face my own reflection's flight What are you waiting for? You are left with Nothing 06. State Of Disobedience
Meet your shadow-self
Your dynamic demon side Pleased to meet you Are you the rebel or the fool? Inspiration or regression? These dark waters are treacherous! 'Cause you never run, never will Never dream fast enough To beat the runner Jester's chronic laughter Static discharge failure Violence Failsafe system running erratic Cleanse me,I'm filthy Heartbeats sing a song of change and With sleep come the spoils The nearing dawn yawns With glistering teeth My body shakes like the rattlesnakes tail Hear the bones They rattle and shatter the silence with words of comfort Hear the spurs The breathing of the nameless horse Spewing breath like fire A momentary stirring of this poisoned air Like machines We march in line And fight our shadow In the dark We are scattered and bewildered Lights flicker in the eyes of the beast We're all teeth, all primal, all hungry We've never been so awake The moon is turning red you see We're impatient I'd kill for you Uncontrolled visions Of seconds ticking away It's not today Like a lover you wait I'm so tired, so damn tired Dark is the moon Clouding judgement Hear the bones They rattle and shatter the silence with words of comfort Hear the spurs The breathing of the nameless horse Spewing breath like fire A momentary stirring of this poisoned air Take the best of what's to come And cast it away To never look back Cloven hoofs echo in the dark I'm bound to this dream I'm so afraid To break down and dissipate I'm awake. 07. Storm Warning
In pain there's a lesson
In blood there's a slithering form traveling Through the veins Through the body Amending Burnt skin and broken bones Don't deny it We're all snakes at first And then we change again We are the strangers of today Reach out, forever in the dark In pain there's a moment In blood there's a final story written So the better you make me I'm less man and more machine Engaged in guessing I'm lost for words I'm never gone I'll reach out for the serpent We are the strangers of today Reach out for the serpent Washing the dirt of ages away Reach out for the serpent Ask yourself Is this worth a reversed evolution? We're acting like a tidal wave Crushing all that oppose us Higher, higher, higher Face the final legendary Terminal new world disorder Pain has an hypnotizing voice And it calls your name Higher, higher, higher So you want steady You're gonna get steady So you want unsteady You're gonna get unsteady Look away Eyes turn black It's raining now It's angry now Clawing its way out And then I shove the sun into the light The silence comes My freedom comes from inside Tension relieved I shove the light into the sun The silence comes Reach out for the serpent I shove the sun into the light The silence comes My freedom comes from inside And I save myself from you Rescue me now And you'll find your way back home To find what you look for Nothing I said nothing I guess I've always been stuck on the wrong side Snakehead You can't see me Wherever I go You go along Break it I said break it Destruction will bring something new to the spectrum Poison Suck the poison Wherever you go I go along 08. Messengers
Here I wander aimlessly
Divided like a restless sea I remember Messengers Sifting through the boiling sand Looking for a shaken hand Wading through the mire But never find what they desire Hear my voice calling A butterfly caught Invisible wall Keep away from light I'm speechless I'm fearless I keep myself from running low on air I'm a passenger I'm just passing by Walk with me I'm a passenger I'm not supposed to be here Roads in one direction All lead to where I'll be Here I wonder endlessly A story told uneasily I remember Messengers Smell the scent of every season How dark they might be This old monster has its reasons I am finally free Stay with me now See what you have done, creator There's no great escape Still hunger I'm forsaken I turn to the messengers 09. To Erase A Lifetime
Here's my only dream
While I breathe dopamine My creature's cunning It walks the road between sense and amphetamine Clearly and ominous presence Seraphs belong only to the ones who wait I can feel it combine me Merging all of my instincs with the withering beast We dance around in a ring and suppose But the secret sits in the middle and knows Skies are ashen, dim summer stench Uncontrollable aesthetics relapse this twilight as dawn Faster, suppressor A silent storm approaching Behold a black-chalked figurine It speaks to me in tongues I resist my dislocation Automatic integration of forgotten flaws and imperfections Amplification of this endlessness These words form a knife of cold And pierce the heart of the unloving echoes of departure My will bends as a twig in the wind Decipher unwritten laws of coded existence I'm naked in the cold Strangely amused by conformity Caught with a strange desire I'm both promise and lie Build to receive Conductor of hours A clockwork A grim device built to undo Erase a lifetime Creator of ends Now death sets a thing significant, The eye had hurried by Years become a second when thoughts collide with memories The stitches stopped themselves And then it was put among the dust The center of self Equation of life The less you resist The less you're erased I fear the ghosts of all that would be There is no closure I heed the call of millions of others who fight the giant One second alone has brought me thunder The center of self Equation of life The less you resist The less you're erased |
