Rip my intestines out
Boil and spread my brain
Crush my bones and will
And I will show no pain
Carve your curses onto my skin
I’m a sculpture of yours
I’m a statue, a fucking shell
Paint a smile on my face
Then throw me to hell
In silence I beg for death
In scream – for a purpose
But the eyes forever grey will tell you
Nothing
No more laugh
From sewn-up mouth
No more song
In shade of white
Soul torn apart from flesh
All the painted masks are false
Tears born to become icicles
Someone nailed me to my bed to dream my lucid dream
Helpless monsters in my head
Beyond this veil of reality there’s her portrait I painted
With a blindfold on my eyes
My loss within me, hidden deep
I cannot find the way to leave
Snow once melted became an ocean
Snow once melted became an ocean
Winter forests sink into loneliness
Dead man lying over the parchment
Waiting for the breath of life to take
…to take him away

My Apocalypse
06:13
|

Once upon a time
he sat down in the rain
and let his soul drown
He took a pen
and drawn on his stave
The rain falling slowly
Day becoming night under his feet
Gentle wind caressing her dress carefully
Memory of her he discovers
from the withered tones
Snow covering ashes
(Remains after awakening from a dream)
Passion dying down
in the old man's frozen heart
(Beating last time)
Fallen poet writes a song
Once upon a time
he sat down in the sunlight
and let his soul dry
Tears, they faded in largo
As he cried
Fallen poet writes a song
all the world begins once again

The Crucible: Prologue
16:25

Scene I: Temptation
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live."
(Exodus 22:18)
Lisa
Venom pours out of my lips
Drink it, weary boy, and quench your thirst
Touch my fatal wounds
Praise me
In this mortal form
I present to your eyes in me
The Goddess of Love
(Touch me
praise me
feel me)
Devil
I'll be always near
To release the Evil in Thee
To turn wine into water
Love into lust
Lover
Comfort me in the burning temple of your shoulders
Let me touch your nature even older than God
Lisa
You'll be my servant and I'll give you eternal life
...to taste
Devil
I'll be always near
To release the Evil in Thee
To turn wine into water
Love into lust
Scene II: Confession
Priest
He prayed to the Lord his entire life
but one night she sowed darkness into his heart
Lust in his root pulled him down to drown
For from this cup you cannot stop drinking
until sweet venom melt your mind
until it flows out through your empty eye-sockets
Lover
Oh Lord! I can’t take it anymore
Addiction
Fills my mind
Swallows my soul
The flame in her dark eyes
Is my only salvation
I confess to you –
I love her more than
I love You
Devil
(laughter)
Scene III: Sabbath
Lover Witch
From now…
Without red lips guarding from the day
I die…
Without her face lit by the moon
Without breath of life taking you away
Without the hands closing your eyes
Left with my wings torn apart
(laughter)
Scene IV: Sin That Dwelleth In Me
"For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I."
(Romans 7:14-15)
"For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do."
(Romans 7:18-19)

Rainy Ballad
07:36
|
|||
Walking alone on the sinking ground
She catches heavenly tears without a sound
Black dress - pure background for a rose in her hand
She'll throw it to the sea for there's no land
Pity her hands which in a lifetime
haven't known other hands; only the rose's thorns
Pity her sky with only dark heavy clouds
Heart able to forgive, unable to live
Take my hand, I’ll guide you through the sea
I’ll be your lighthouse, I’ll face your fear
Oh, how I wish to reach this eternal light
Dimmed by the world, so long ago
Still, I miss you, my eternal dream
I, little scorned rock under your bare feet
Trying to build a road to paradise
Heart able to forgive, unable to live
You were waiting, prince has not arrived
Beggars mourned under your feet, but you let them die
Haven't you heard that a princess has to kiss
the frog that will become the prince?
Maybe they'll meet each other in the rain
Pleasure is so shallow, only deadly pain
can tear a soul away from lethargy
Only heavy tears can teach how to feel
Take my hand, I’ll guide you through the sea
I’ll be your lighthouse, I’ll face your fear
Oh, how I wish to reach this eternal light
Dimmed by the world, hidden in your eyes
Still, I miss you, my eternal dream
I, little scorned rock under your bare feet
Trying to build a road to paradise
Heart able to forgive, even lethal lies
Through this grey horizon your eyes cannot see
More you hate, more you fear
You try to fly away but your wings are torn apart
And remind you there was a time when you could reach the stars
Now all that remains are scars

Lethargy
03:17
|

Withered words fallen
Leaves of despair
Sweet autumn requiem
Composed of your lies
No one wants to see your face
Bathed in tears
So put your mask on, clown
Don’t open your eyes

Autumn Requiem
21:16
|
|||
I. Voices in my head
Living in a maze without exit
Where nightmare begins after you wake up
Falling into myself has become an addiction
To run away from those who persecute me
II. Requiem
Fearless child walking once on the surface of the sea
Was your wisdom untrue or has the lie lived through me?
Once burning – why do I feel your hands becoming stiff?
Without your laughter and honest heart it’s hard to live
Hopeless heart crucified once at the strange wooden cross
Sacrifice unseen, in which you never believed in
Did it hurt? You were just lying down with your arms spread wide
You didn’t scream only begged for vinegar to drink
He dies everyday from thirst
And waits to be reborn from love
But there is no rebel
To be with him in heaven
Why don’t I want to
Wake up from this
Fucking nightmare!
Live your nightmare
Dream your life
There’ll be neither one nor the other
When your cross the borderline
III. Borderline
- Why aren’t you sleeping?
- I need to find the answer
- There’s no straight answer really
- I wonder is it fate or God making a fool of myself
- Neither of them. Do you see the borderline? You've reached it by yourself
- My body's standing still but my spirit's so weak
- See the land of crawling darkness behind the line. Open your eyes and turn your spirit back from this suicidal voyage. You are strong.
- I can see there’s no answer really
IV. Suicide Note
(Fear of death
Fear of life
Of my mind
Of fear itself)
An empty room
Abandoned shell
All the books are closed
All the parchment’s pure
The stories unwritten
The greatest curse
Poet bleeds
But cannot sing
He lies dead
With her corpse
The ink blood
Flows on the pages
Suicide
And a left note
A quill killed
Sharper than sword
V. Catharsis
The rain falling slowly
Became my waters of baptism
VI. Walking through the past
Angels played a rainy ballad on the glass
Their cold shine welcomed me back to life
But I’m still bleeding
Thunder’s fading away
But your memory still remains
A splinter in my heart
Angels coloured trees with a rain
Their majestic painting comforts me
Heavenly tears have saved my soul
God saved me
Walk through my past and see the ashes
See a new dawn growing
A rose among the thorns
But I’m still bleeding
Thunder’s fading away
Walk through my past
With your red eyes
Burning the horizon
Red eyes…
But I’m still bleeding
Thunder faded away
Will they bring my corpse to you?
With a couple of withered letters
Your hair will become grey one day
And heart so cold as mine
