I climbed the stairs of loneliness
from where I saw a darker sky of images torn under fire and debris of the human race I realized the pain on earth the bitterness of our existence I forced myself to see some more fronted the horror of our inevitable extinction Mediocre beings without strong passions left in the mercy of altruistic fantasies refusing responsibility for shaping our destinies Displaying false sentimentality I see another version of my life the misconception of reality the way to sweet insanity As history repeats itself I won't fail to find my pieces your shape will fade in my memory but I 'll remember your many faces The images of our extinction will give me back the pleasures I 've once had the images of our extinction the way to sweet insanity |

Do you see
in me all the endless years that 've marked my life and my destiny See the time is flying leaving on my soul all the signs of my world which is dying and I am falling apart in a vicious cycle Promises and bitter laughter the missing link of my past learning how far the truth is which is denying my life through the centuries Do you feel my soul fading away as the time is leaving through my hands gray clouds are hiding the stars that 's guiding my nights in an exile land trapped in a withered sky How? I will approach the sky with my emptiness drawing two eyes looking at the void of my life watching all these wasted years trapped in withered sky Is it death that covers my thoughts with hate? Is it the life? Bringing back the memories through the purple rain my dreams are coming carrying the loneliness of my soul Is it death that covers my thoughts with hate? Is this the end? |

My eyes will meet yours
in a swirl of time like a whisper in your dreams I will fly there to die I am the one who's rolling through your tears I am the passing thought inside your untold fears I am the one who dances across the past with my black heart made of dust The velvet night was breathing on my soul so lonely in my everlasting dream... |

Where is the meaning of life
in this unjustly wasted time of lost ideas and dreams in the hidden side of my life I can see my unborn fear that's consuming my only way out to the light beyond the gate of silence Where is the meaning of life at the empty angle of my eyes was hovering the aura of death is this my redemption In the slender light of the day my unsuspected existence was whirling in a farrago of an illusion that slowly is killing my soul Breaking the wall of loneliness I faced a moment of truth the quintessence of life your biggest enemy is yourself |

Walking at the desert paths
feeling uncertain for tomorrow my unexpected fears are looking for my mind Watching my life day by day lost in empty pictures trying to escape from monotony misery unable to cry out for help Reflections are leading me to a heaven I already lost empty horizons are my visions and this is where I can only be far beyond the sky I lay down my wings till the clouds will uncover the sun When the moonless night will come again feeling uncertain walking in a desert path of my pain the moonless night will come again walking in the desert path of my pain |

Life is coming on me
like a breathless wind scattering all my memories of days in the spring sun When the soft wind was breaking lose from my thirsty hands can 't stand this springled sensation of life which vanished all my dreams away The howling in my mind won't let me feel my life that 's haunting my destiny like death before my time The night is walking on my way leaving a glacial touch like the endearment of the dead extincting my untold feelings Search somewhere in the sky a sign that 's been forgotten through the years I 'm still a regrettable remain of a failed world |

I can do you no harm
even though I hide behind hatred a child that's hurt followed the road all little ghosts follow Using the excuse of a cruel world a strange pleasure in melancholy and horror An empty body washed shame away indulging in the lust for evil depending on the kindness of strangers and the loving arms that smothered me for I have sinned and no regret can fail my presence I can do you no harm even though it has grown up reminding me the purpose of my life the meaning of a sorrowful existence A child that's hurt can learn about the pain a child that's hurt can know how wonderful this is |

An isolated shadow
lying peacefully on an endless heaven a corrupted soullonging for immortality a filthy mind fed with delightful dreams Players in a game somehow I feel unable to get involved Tender blue invests the scene with a kind of lyricism I try to find peace within ancient rhymes that cry of anger Needing auxiliary channels of life shaping a visionary company of love inviting you into my depression Sadistic green completes the atmosphere of decay I won't find peace in ancient rhymes that cry of anger |

When the sun was setting down
to touch the ground shadows took their way to eternity Their eyes stared the emptiness following invisible steps. Hawling behind the malicious desertion and the acceptance of death Searching for a sign to admit the ending of their conflict. When the moon appeared on the cloudy sky in between dreams and reality a world was born from their tears where the dark seemed so sad. When they altered their cries to an unchecked falling rain As the fear petrified their hearts Forever they knew they were doomed by their own weakness At the gates of the morning sun that starts to shine shadows were passing through At the seas of eternal silence the sense of devastation deep in their uncanny corridors they 're waiting for the dream |

Fear drives me in the darkness
prayers propagate my fall can you show me the distance between my mind and soul Remember the forgotten days Now, while the dust of the stars is dying with the end of times Comprehend my bitterness understand my fears I wipe for my god alone in the land of tears Did you know? Your Fall has been foretold in days that stars began to cry at nights that blood has filled the sky and dying since a hope that's old. Twisting around circles of faith desperate skies unholy winds are haunting the clouds melting like ice |

Upon the bloody altar of my tears
where all my dreams keep pilling up I saw death torturing my soul I saw my soul teared apart Away, a nameless shadow inundating my perpetual sleep with their datestable bewailings trying to recall my unconscious birth A breath of life into the mouldly air that diffuses my existence an imposing voice that awakes and erases all the apathy Fire, a rotting race all I see is a dying place full of loneliness and pain and my dreams are all in vain Years are passing by through my dark and velvet sky isolation, ceaseless sorrow makes me feel there's no tomorrow |
