1. FATUM

O, ungrateful existence
Which chains the illusion of me
To a cell of defective flesh
The guests in my soulroom
Dwell the horizons no more
The weary light of silence
Dims into darkness
The still landscape of desolation blurs
Haunted by a dark soul
The wanderer of noise, a hermit
Creature lurking in the mist
Howling in hopelessness
Which turns into blunt anger

Evoke, my inner friend
The lonesome daughter of death
O, how I love your dead, blind eyes
Set my heart ablaze
And cast it where it belongs
Ease my woe in this meaningless stride
The paradise is already collapsing
There is no place else to be grasped
The death shall liberate all
Through the forests and mountains
Until we reach the doorsteps
Of a gate, leading into oblivion

"The insignificance is all and none"


2. OUROBOROS

I've been to this place before
I've seen this sight of shame
No matter where the turn leads
The outcome remains the same

And here I am again
The nexus of the spiral
The same cursed sign
Smiles at me

There's nothing behind the horizon
A river with no source
Come, take a walk with me
And see the gallery of fate

What you see is what you will reap
Within your sight, there already lies
The essence of your timid life

O, eternal snake
Break the hopeless loops of our fates
The day you swell
Straight along the rivers of Hell
Will be the day when we will be free


3. MISERERE

O Father Sun, have mercy upon us
Solar dust, fragile and mortal
The fire burns my flesh alive
Spare our souls, let us survive


4. DOLOR

Blessed is the man
That endures the trials
For when he's tried
He shall receive the crown

Blessed is the man
That endures temptation
For when he's tried
He shall receive the crown of life

If only we could sow
Without the need to plow
If only thoughts could flow
Like crops, plentiful, grow

Empirical machine
Which lashes all illusions
Your gears still grind my effort
Maintaining in confusion

"Be patient and tough
Some day all this pain will be useful
Be patient and strong
One day you will understand"

Your teaching feels like drowning
In lakes of liquid fire
We're frowning as you're preaching
To all those, who aspire

Remind me I am nothing
And lighten my perception
For I am blind like love
And bound to imperfection


5. PLANCTUS

In the hall of mourning
Gathered around your ghastly shrine
Kneeling in front of your vain hands
Drinking your poisoned wine

All their faces on me
Distant, cold, befittingly quell
But my fingers twist the knife
Would they mourn you as well?

Death knells, the orchestra plays
A dirge for all broken dreams
The way you dance, leering at me
Blade's flashed, your scream...

Now their contempt for me...
As I stabbed the sorrow's queen
They cannot see beside you
Mourning dies, mourned by thee

I will never love you
I will never be with you
I will never mourn you
I will continue to kill you

Your empty eyes now blacken
Your vile stare dispels
Your body on a catafalque
Shall sleep exposed in Hell

As lady death emerges
With flowers in my pockets
I slowly raise the torn veil
Her eyes are bleeding sockets

O, death, you fragile maiden
How lonely thou must art
When everything you touch dies
Come, touch my marble heart

I sense your cold, pale fingers
Still milder than rejection
You cannot kill what's withered
We match our desolation

You stop my tears from falling
I shalt become your dream
Just lay upon my bleeding
Our blood will form one stream


6. EPITAPHIOS

He, who wanders free shall grasp
The mystery of seven seas
My chains have been unlinked
And all misery relieved

Into the kingdom the blind will swarm
And see for the first time, for the first time
Exiled from the withering realm of the dead
Which fades behind the curtains of dread

One day you will see
Repeat after me
We will be free

A letter to a widowed engraver
The last one from his beloved

Wherever is your body
Our spirits walk together
Whatever dies you care for
The memories live forever

Please carve it on my tombstone
Then paint it fluorescent
An epitaph, eternal
And shining moon, in crescent

"There always is more beauty
Awaiting to be grasped
As long you dare to breathe
Embrace it, as it lasts"

He carved these words in stone two times
The first time on the grave
The second time...

At the bottom of his heart
Screams nothing but affection
Awashed by an inner rain
Which alters her reflection

On the paths of a nether world
The sun is black and grounds are wet
He strays for home and kicks the stones
It rains, the skies have bled

O, miserable soul, your angel is calling
Raise your feeble hand towards the sky
For your time is yet to come
Your time is yet to come
To come...
