The Curse

and we will walk them, you and I
when daylight shuts her weary eye.
and we walk down the streets where beggars sleep,
where all the crazy people spend their keep,
this city alive
living as parasites
leeching more and more
women of the night will guard their spots,
there's a rejected child that time forgot.
down the streets that grow through thick and thin,
past monuments of broken sin.
For each new challenge finds old pain
that lives to give and comes again.
do we have time to heal that curse
that captures all the universe.
this city alive
living as parasites
leeching more and more
do we have time to heal that curse
that captures all the universe.
eternal sorrows sing
heretic church bells ring
we share the night with lesser fools
who stake their plight without any rules.
the world is getting smaller
and it's breaking into bits.
let's put it back together!
piece by piece the puzzle fits.
prepare a new beginning,
unite and gather all our friends,
as working all together,
piece by piece the puzzle mends.
for each new challenge finds old pain
that lives to give and comes again.
do we have time to heal
that curse
that captures all the universe.

The Fate
02:58

dark shadows sneaking onto our land
they disembark
I hear them running in the dark
sound of surrender, there is no grace.
they chase us, till we pay the price of disgrace.
our path was shattered, right from the start.
don't be afraid - just raise against the dark.
I walk the earth
no living soul - a living hell
the last resistance from yesterday
my bare feet bleeding, I am already pleading.
my last hope, pro libertate mori - pro libertate mori
dark shadows sneaking onto our land - they disembark
I hear them running in the dark
moving forward, into a conscious state.
my senses blooming, learn to accept my fate
my senses blooming, learn to accept my fate
do not hesitate, this is our last escape.
I sense this is just the beginning, I will reunite.
defense won’t bring me closer, to my fulfillment.
now I just have to break free from distraction – concentrate on what’s significant.
my heart and my mind will become this world.
I transcend into coincidence
I sense this is just the beginning, I will reunite.
defense won’t bring me closer, I will reunite.

The Agony
03:04
|

the eyes of the crow
only see truth,
deep in my soul
my moral hangs loose,
it's on the edge,
poisoned my heart
persistent decay
destined, so dark
heavy forces ripping on my existence.
there is no chance for resistance.
SET ME FREE
bleed me dry / cut through my throat
hang me high / bury me low
bleed me dry / cut through my throat
hang me high / bury me low
AGONY
nature hunts me down
takes my crown
ocean deep drowned
salty kiss to death
takes my last breath
this is my aftermath
my bleeding sore eyes
no chance to rise
chained to my demise
filthy blood in my veins
embolisms make me faint
seizures let my face go frown
strokes drag me down
parched skin crumbling
last words mumbling
corpses raise like piles
mankinds reign has been replaced
styx floods existence
nature drains me to decay
SET ME FREE

The Ember

and she raised out of her ashes into the grey sky.
random noises, voices following her blind into the night.
her ghost transcends into my mind.
leads me away.
the ember lets me remember,
feeling unrest in my chest.
the sun shines bright,
it warms her skin
like it never did before.
it flows through her entire body, bottomless.
there are no restrictions, no limits.
I am falling again into all these years - of joy.
my skin starts to harden and is itching more and more
I’m like a snake.
I can flay my skin.
I have to behave
I have to focus
I am losing my mind
'Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.'
(William Ernest Henley, Invictus)
her soft breath on my neck pleading to let her go
sun shines bright
it warms her skin
like it never did before.
it flows through her entire body
bottomless.
there are no restrictions, no limits
just endless space
I am falling again
into all these years of joy
I’ll see u again...
