The Lost
07:30
|
|||
|
Black raindrops color the ground,
Like red blood dried in the sun.
Life withers out of control,
Like flowers out in the cold.
We've been running over the edge.
I missed the warnings, I miss the hate.
When it all came to an end
our weakness drove us insane.
Lost reflection,
mirroring what we left.
Sweet old sadness,
growing on with despair.
Are we really drowning?
Are we really dying?
Are we really fading?
Are we really burning?
Are we really drowning?
Are we really dying?
We’re like music out of tune.
Are we really burning in the cold?
Time keeps flowing
Dark keeps growing
Rain keeps falling down
Endless spiral
Broken triangle
Never ending hole
Time is running out
Dark keeps growing on
Rain is falling down
Broken triangle
Storms rises bringing the pain.
Crows flying over your grave.
Dark memories come up again,
Like shadows after the flame.
Lost reflection,
mirroring what we left.
Sweet old sadness,
growing on with despair.

Exilium
06:02
|
|||
|
Underestimate my feelings.
Force me to erase my willings.
Take me to the edge, i’m falling
Deep into the path of nowhere.
(Take me out of here)
Just a breath to give it away
Just a soul in a maze…
(Bury me in the deep)
Take my heart and rip it away
take a step to the end.
(Rip my heart away)
Infiltrate along my decay
Tear my essence away.
(Take me to despair)
Build a wall of silence and pain
I am fading away
(Swirling in the air)
Walking through the ashes and hail
Through the sorrow and fear.
(Ashes over flames)
Pictures of a lifetime in flames
Drawing swirls in the air.
(struggling with my mind)
Biting,scratching, fighting for breath
‘Till I run out of strength.
(force me to embrace the exilium)
Blacking out and falling away.
Exilium.
Nobody's here
Nobody's safe
Nobody's breaking the walls of this maze
Nobody's here
Nobody's saving me.
(Vanish in the air)
Step by step im drifting away
As a leaf in the air.
(Fading in space)
Lift my soul and let me transcend
Like the sound in space.
(Bury me in pain)
Concentrate in running away,
‘Till I bury the pain.
(Dying out for rest in exilium)
Dying, praying, screaming for rest
In Exilium.

Polaris
05:51
|
|||
|
North lights glowing with Polaris.
Windy breath comes from the sky.
Swamp trees mutter in my pillow.
Beams became clouds as they died.
And I ride on this feeling
and I fly on this maze
and I ride on this feeling
Lost in my slumber
I came to wonder
Is the dream true?
Was upon my strange recalling
of the city bathed in light.
Within it my soul was dreaming
I was not as I had been.
And I ride on this feeling
and I fly on this maze
and I ride on this feeling
Lost in my slumber
I came to wonder
Is the dream true?
“Slumber, watcher, till the spheres,
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolv’d and I return
To the spot where now I burn.
Other stars anon shall rise
To the axis of the skies;
Stars that soothe and stars that bless
With a sweet forgetfulness.”
Through the sky, the North Star grins
from over the swaying trees.
And I wonder, are those dreams?
and evil, the star, leers at me.
With my eyes closed, my mind reels
I wander through all of these.
And I beg to keep those dreams
to save them, Am I free?

Intertwine
03:33
|
|||
|
Intertwined feelings are burning inside.
Just a mirror reflecting the wreckage behind.
Looking for the spark that guided my life
through the chaos and flames where we ran.
Take it off, take it off, take it from inside.
Leave it out, leave me now, leave the fear beside.
Lift me up, lift me up, take me to the sky.
Where this madness can quietly die.
Fearless I dive
Deep in the dark.
I touch the mud
From which I’ll rise.
Intertwined feelings are burning inside
like the fire erasing the paths we once walked.
Looking for the spark that guided my life
through the chaos and flames where we ran.
Take it off, take it off, take it from inside.
Leave it out, leave me now, leave the fear beside.
Lift me up, lift me up, take me to the sky.
Where this madness can quietly die.
Twisted, faded, living in a hole.
Underrated, blinded by the sun.
Never-ending nightmare in my soul.
as a leaf I am drifting alone.
Fearless I dive
Deep in the dark.
I touch the mud
From which I’ll rise.

A Heart Inside a Box
04:41
|
|||
|
There’s a heart inside a box.
There are needles all around.
There's a heavy burden, growing stronger
Tearing my core.
There’s a soul inside a heart.
There are ashes in the box.
There’s a fiery presence rusting my essence.
Wasted away.
And it hurts, it burns, it brakes.
like fire in my veins.
It hurts, it burns, ir brakes.
In my veins, in my veins.
There’s a breath without a breath.
There’s a hole beneath the skin.
There's a constant drilling, cutting and harming.
I can't fight this pain.
There is silence, nothing more
There is silence, nothing more
There is silence, nothing more.

The Darkest Times
08:04
|
|||
|
Lost and gone. Dead, reborn.
Break my bones, tear my soul.
Numb and doped, fear goes on.
Silent God, take me home.
Time goes by. Nights falls fast.
Sleepless eyes tell no lies.
Rust and dust trash my heart.
Tears and scars wrap my spine.
Piece by piece I'm building up this wall.
With the storm comes the sorrow,
The wind lifts my soul.
Drop by drop fills the hollow.
I've sleep for so long.
(I guess I’ll never find myself inside
I guess I’ll ever find myself insane)
(I try to find replace)
Lost and gone. Dead, reborn.
Silent God, take me home.
With the storm comes the sorrow,
The wind lifts my soul.
Drop by drop fills the hollow.
I've sleep for so long.

Rays of Light
02:46
|
|||
|
Dreaming, through the unconsciousness I am feeling,
the devotion in life and its meaning.
Through the waves of my mind I am free.
Blis, in the absence of peace is like dreaming.
An illusion of calm keeps me breathing.
All this rays of light bathing me in.
And of fire and ashes we'll be.

Of Fire and Ashes
05:35
|
|||
|
Coral castles torn to pieces.
Rusted coffins keeping secrets.
Memories buried in the darkest box.
Wasted tears drowned in water,
melting like the ice with fire.
Throw it all into the deepest hole.
And I've slept so long
And I've dreamt so long.
Like fire we’ll burn
Like ashes we’ll ascent.
Emerging from chaos, divided by hate.
A new spark is born
to give birth a flame
That'll blow all the wreckage that hardens our way.
Time has frozen, locked with fear.
Panic drives you far from here.
Break the loop and jump into the unknown.
And I've slept so long
And I've dreamt so long.
Like fire we’ll burn
Like ashes we’ll ascent.
Emerging from chaos, divided by hate.
A new spark is born
to give birth a flame
That'll blow all the wreckage that hardens our way.

A Cold Awakening

A Cold Awakening.
I. Hour 1. Awakening.
Lonely I awake
tied up in this bed.
Nightmares in my mind,
scenes in black and white.
I was almost dead,
Sickness hit my brain.
Torn I ran away
trying hard to stay in home.
Flashes in my head
show me what I left.
Pain runs through my heart,
numb, I try to shout…
No more I can feel.
No more I can see,
I'm about to faint,
I try to get away... to home
(Regeneration process)
Healing neural network.
Reconnecting human brain.
Feelings restoration.
Activating DNA.
Plugging in sensations.
Recreating skin and flesh.
Heart reanimation.
Initiating system.
II. Week 1
I can barely sleep
I can barely dream
I can barely walk
I can barely feel.
What have I become?
Am I a machine?
I was just a man
Now i'm just steel.
I’ve been left alone
Everything I cared
Of this nasty world
Has been gone away.
Through that awful wars
I was left asleep.
I’m trying to understand
This new reality.
“Do you want me to get tortured?
Do you want me to feel pain?
Do you want me to feel anger?
Do you want me to feel hate?
Do you want me to feel lonely?
Do you want me to feel sick?
Do you want to suffocate me
‘Till I get completely insane?
Do you want me to be like you?
Like your empty-brained men?
Do you think that your creations
Can replace the human race?
Are your steel-forged wicked dreamings
Worth the oppressive life you’ve made?
Your devotion in this madness
Has become in twisted faith.”
III. Year one. Farewell
As my head’s starting to glitch,
And my thoughts slightly fade.
I'm unable to speak,
But my words at least will stay.
I've been fighting a whole year,
To repel this new disease.
Now I'm crawling to my end
Where I'm ceasing to exist.
As the feelings went away
Hope began to disappear.
Will mankind finally stand
when their final plan is here?
Lots of souls are lost and gone.
Lots of ashes in the rain.
As we lost the light in sky,
they were seeding hell in earth.
I’m not sorry for believe
That this is the only way.
As a human i was born,
As a human I will fade.
Healing neural network...
