The last glow
05:53

Time, the sparkle of the last living star fades away in the black sky
Sun, a dying blur in the minds and souls condemned to wander in the dark
That withers away millenary trees, memorials of the tragedy.
Cold, embracing the corpses to absorb the warmth
Before their hearts turn to ice
Flames, the only hope to light the dark age
The force that keeps death away
Ripped, entire woods reduced to wastelands
To feed the ravenous hunger
When nothing is left to be burnt
You fan the embers blowing on all rage stored in the entrails
The deepest bitterness
The flame illuminates the sky, the darkest corners of your heart
Receive the light that wards off old sadness rooted inside.
Warmed up by the red swaying, nightmares are seeped through your pores,
Fuel for the cleansing bonfire, that scorches all your ghosts
The spark’s dance becomes frenzied, volcanoes waking up
Clear understanding emerges, illusions vaporize.
Now, one only thing can keep the flame alive
All fear is gone, you walk determined
To be the glow, to erase the boundaries
Between the body and the endless void
A step away to shine, to defeat the darkness
Becoming smoke, spreading through the cosmos and the stars
You feel the heat, but pain is no more
And with the silence of the last breath, you perceive the call
Come

From the depths of decay
05:45

Vultures flying over concrete realms
Madness, rust, temples being blowed dawn
From the ruins the putrid stench of death emerges
Jailed inside, wrapped in razor wire
A constant wind is whispering
The deafening breath of insane screams
All the leafs of consciousness are blown
Hypnotic dance of withered trees
Every street witnesses the pain
Corrupt vermin raping mute men
Bloated corpses dragged by streams of dirt
Fibber saviors snatching the blind
Underground the faint light of the open eyes
A hopeless aim to see stars
The cloud of gray absurdity, impenetrable
When the haze brings the end, winds of change blow
The dimmest ray of light, shows there’s a way
A single drop of rain, dissolves the pain.
A moment of stillness, they hear the call.
Feel, the boiling torrent of red blood
An unstoppable force up the spine.
The time has come to stand and march
To break the rusty chains.
Caress the fear with the hands
And look the devil in the eyes.
Light up the fire where all burns
The flame that purifies.
Burn, reduce to ashes every form
Bring down the icons of their faith
Unmask the truth, unveil the grace
Hang every lyar.

Black hounds of justice
04:55
|
|||
|
On the run, pursued by hellish black hounds
Predators seeking your blood
Cold dead men stare at your eyes
No one responds to your cries
The more you try the less you run
There is no shelter where to guard
Feeling the scythe caress the spine
Exhale the pain before it’s time
Endless nights startled by horrid nightmares
Sweating hands with terror you stare the moon shine
Wondering why you deserve this torment
Praying for the phantoms to hide forever
No, you cannot bury the truth
It will come out to seek your soul
Long time now, your vilest self dictates your acts
Blindfolded, dehumanized
Pulled by the horses of envy
Weeping away all in your path
Without remorse you have betrayed,
Those who once offered you their hearts
How many wells you poisoned?
How much pain in your name?
Now, assume the divine justice, there is no place to hide
No way to deceive the court, you will soon the pay the price
Withstand on your own shoulders the whole weight of the truth
It’s time to beg forgiveness, to look them in the eyes
Crawl, kneel, drag the chains until you get back your soul

The never ending search
05:41
|
|||
|
There from the beginning of time
There till the end
Whole lives searching for you in vain
Whole lives denying you
Worshipped
Desired by every soul
Feared
Unavoidable
With your light mirrors reflect the devil
With your touch crumble the highest hopes
Tormenting keepers of darkest secrets
Sentencing liars to live in shame
Unique
Hidden in every form
Timeless
Unavoidable
With your light clear becomes the journey
With your touch ominous birds fall down
Lifting up hopeless and humiliated
Bringing back glory to the defamed
I abandoned the path of deceit
I put all my strength and will to honor you
With the six senses I reach for the truth
In the ever-changing labyrinth of conjurers
Slipping out of my hands every time I think you are mine
Eendlessly changing your shape
I can not recognise you
Winkling like the brightest of the stars to disappear
Your echoes resound in me but seem too far
Truth, when will you be revealed to me?
End my confusion, heal my suffering
Tell me who I am, on whose side I have to fight
How can we free this world from terminal ignorance
