1. +

Lifted up by hollow hands
Carried by all of your sins
Nothing ever stands
Downfall begins

Sad to shape my destiny
To an artificial crown
Where I sink breathlessly
Where I will drown

Blow me out
Break my bones
Feed me to the drought
Can you hear the crows?

O’ fill my body with dirt
Let it tear me apart
Becoming a desert
All the way to my heart

Set me free
Set me on fire
Redemption I see

Set me free
Set me on fire
My last desire

See me crucified
Expelled
From this existence


2. PROLOGUE

The ocean rejects my presence
The water withdraws and hides
Proclaiming my acceptance
Never again caught by the tides

Why are you screaming?
Everyone will be equal now
Only a few were intervening
You couldn’t change it anyhow

Hide behind your altar
Trembling, the heart is pumping
As if individuals really matter
All are equal. All nothing!

See how it falls
See how it crumbles
Hide behind your walls
Fear your struggles

See how it falls
See how it crumbles
Hide behind your walls
Fear your struggles

Calmly I gaze towards the path
Appearing before me
Build with a vicious wrath
That makes my courage flee
The water withdraws and hides
Never again caught by the tides


3. III

There is a fire within me
Full of devouring despair
A catastrophe the world will see
Erupting everywhere

Burn me, strike me with your flame
Embrace me, in the pouring rain
Cleanse me, we are all to blame
Forgive us, as we die in vain

Surrounded by the ashes
Still I breathe deep
Absurdly my life flashes
Do you still believe?

Look upon the mighty sky
Dominated by a rain of fire
Ever so high
For my last desire

There is a fire within me
Full of devouring despair
A catastrophe the world will see
Silenced with a flood that can’t compare


4. IV

Smoke’s distanced dwelling
Aligned with puzzles of my mind
It will bury all your yelling
And leave no one behind

By the tide I’m chased
Standing on the edge
Nowhere to escape
Safe place alleged

Fill my lungs
With the North Sea’s purest
Show me my wrongs
The life of a purist

As I’m dragged further down
I no longer feel the weight of air
Breathlessly, where I will drown
Every eye will judge and stare

Get rid of my worries
I feel the wind in my hair
Away the black sea hurries
Approach the dryness of air


5. V

Surrounded by the ocean floor
Determined the water is gone
Every movement seems sore
Uprising for the dawn

Fully awake approaching the edge
Climbing razor sharp stones
Fulfilling my human pledge
Hands in the mud, cutting to my bones

Strong winds
Blend blood and mud
Along with tears it spins
Clashing the wall with a thud

Drains my will
How far will I reach?
My mind getting ill
Any other lessons to teach?

Strong winds
Mud and mud
Pain begins
Blood for blood

Strong winds
Mud and mud
Pain begins
Blood for blood

Skin is cracking
Sacrificed to the drought
Earth is quaking
Reached the edge, just about


6. VI

Earth is shaking
Earth is crumbling
All covered by sand

Earth is dissolving
Earth is your coffin
Take a stand

Winds are twirling
Spinning my mind
Vision impairing
Leading the blind

Keep myself balanced
Going to stay on my feet
Nature still unchallenged
Fighting inner defeat

Bury me deep
O’ fill my body with dirt
Bury me deep
Alive and hurt

Mountains breaking apart
Ground disappearing
Superior art
Of entitled domineering

Fill my void
All the way to my heart
Erase the humanoid
Our time to depart


7. EPILOGUE

I brought this upon myself
Floating in indifference
Too late and farewell
To my deliverance

Concluding our last day
Born, lived and died
As sinners we will all pay
To this earth we were tied

The sun is ever so red
The forest turns black
Now the sun is dead
And the day went back
