Eternal Mourning - The Resident Sadness lyrics



Tracks



02. Inside Mask

The walls of memories release the enemy
I'm my own rival, strength and inhumanity
All is closed in the smallest place
In amorphous delusions, all are ashes of a lonely face

With sadness, I look at my wicked skin
But never fall and never kneel
I could strongly try, striped sorrow and defy
But inside... is the emptiness which I feel

I'm falling following you
I'm the tear of loss running through
I'm crawling like you do
I'm the mask that speaks for you

I fade in the paradox of delight
All the journeys embrace a bitter truth in pale sight
Perfection lies on the unborn
And joy is the shadow of the indifference

The comforts of a tasteless shadow is so thin
Never will be, as I would like to see
I could strongly try, scream anger in goodbye
But inside... is the emptiness which I feel

I'm falling following you
I'm the tear of loss running through
I'm crawling like you do
I'm the mask that speaks for you

03. My Resident Sadness

Nothing is shared now
The emptiness erased all sounds
As time sew the poison inside
I sense a silent grief undressing wide

In my resident sadness
A friendly smile stays for a while
The door is forever closed
Restraining the mourning inside

The bitter elements are concentrate
Damaging life, erasing fate
The humble eyes paint deep the pain line
Drowning blood in the sad clouds entwine

Does anyone understand loneliness?
The pale whiteness of destiny...
The strength of all that stands is going away
While the fire insight ends humanity

Does anyone understand humanity?

In my resident sadness
A friendly smile stays for a while
The door is forever closed
Restraining the mourning inside

04. Limonin Kiss

Three of four smiles
In a half hour bit
Disguising within
Disrupting a dark sheet

(They say) come never again
Worthlessness inside
Ornamenting my soul
With tears that doesn't dry

The clock sings... undressing my bitterness
I hear it in shock... I have no answers
How many smiles do I have to breed?
To exhale the soul of this limonin kiss

The last of four smiles
Of a half hour hope
Masking times dwelled
Purging the reasons felt

Striping tears inside
With a half opened eye
Hearing and fearing
The malfunctions of mind

The clock sings... undressing my bitterness
I hear it in shock... I have no answers
How many smiles do I have to breed?
To exhale the soul of this limonin kiss

05. Sun Of Superficiality

The river of synthetic life
Is fed by constant thoughts
They're poisoning the mysterious
Building masks of indifference

Man tends to be a dreamer
And illusions make so deep scars
Must we fell without feelings?
The sadness that shines through the stars

Like a soul out of a body
My silence is incomplete
The sun of superficiality cleaves the time
Saddening me...

De uma estranha forma obrigo-me a ser
Com o eterno vigoroso infortúnio de nem sempre o poder
No negro espaço da mutaçao,
Imponho-me a transformaçao
Algo que me esprema o espirito
Que me permita somente esquecer!!!

Like a soul out of a body
My silence is incomplete
The sun of superficiality cleaves the time
Saddening me...

06. Without Regret

I know that nothing has a future
But sometimes it's so difficult to drown hope
Even when thoughts paint all emotions black
There is a second where you can dream and simply...

(Without regret) forget...
And feed the flow inside...

I can sense the sterile skin of future
Reviving every wound in my existence
A fragile splendour of youth I behold within
But the hopeless mask is still so vulnerable and thin

(Without regret) forget...
And feed the flow inside...

The grief of emptiness inside sings my silence
I'm just here screaming for ignorance...

07. Walk Of Misery

Is this a sign I feel?
It's a dark blink in my will?
The thorns are under my skin
Rapping sadness, leaving anger within

I draw the sorrow of mankind
Illustrating oblivion on sad smiles
Leaving everything in synchronicity
Nothing deserves but the shine of misery

I can breed...
I can burn...
I'm the murmur in the empty shell
The echo that will eternally dwell

I can hide...
I can obscure...
Everything lives indefinitely
On this walk of misery

I'm getting near where you're now
Far down within your soul
I see life through your eyes
Composing in you the sorrow's word

I can breed...
I can burn...
I'm the murmur in the empty shell
The echo that will eternally dwell

I can hide...
I can obscure...
Everything lives indefinitely
Because I'm your misery

08. A Different Instinct

Darkness comes, fear has arrived
Hordes wondering lost in a different time
Horrified face on the edge of madness
Crawling over cold sharpened rocks

Blood is the only boundary, accidental
A survival instinct prevails
Dictates integration
Against natural rebellion

Burning to ashes
All surrounders
Nothing but fear
No morphine present
Only acts of faith
Agonizing chains, hunger and aggression
Lesser children
Mutilated bodies of nature
A wicked mother
A gained death, unnoticed, brutal
Cruel mutilation
A different spell
A different instinct of fear
Rare beauty, rare love

Ugly rage, again despair
Magic initiation, dangerous rituals
Of pain and unconsciousness
Expected sacrifice
With purpose of creation
Strange anger to be satisfied

Fire, endless pursuit for deadly weapons
Mastered creation, mastered it's possession

Rival tribes, the symbol of an early death
And the doubt of agonizing eyes
Should be expected
A point of light will be kept
The cost will be life, will be death
Strange wondered faces
Cannibals for nothing
Cannibals for nothing
In the end, life stands
Cannibals for nothing

09. (The Burning) Mirror

When you looked outside
Did you know what was locked inside?
When you stepped into light
Did you feel any different sight?

When you look at your face
Do you understand what the mirrors tell?
Maybe is just their colour...
Maybe is just your shell...

Don't be afraid, it's just your shade
Maybe you're just drowned in a sea of sand
Your restless breath erupts in silence
Defying nothingness, but singing your end

Why does your soul separate the world?
In a walking misery, in the forever storm
Everywhere i looked you magically stayed there
In a glimpse of fear, in the pain I share... everywhere

Maybe you aren't real
Maybe I'm just looking towards the soul
Strength is peacefully burning in my eyes
Perhaps you are just the shadow of my own demise

So why do I have to face you
When I look outside?
I'm just here...
And you can be far and wide

I'm still locked in the darkest light
Wondering and suffering
Waiting for a dream to shine
Do you understand what the mirrors tell?
