The Weakest Link
04:30
|
|||
Climbing up, sliding down,
Vultures gathering around,
Bouncing echo mocking from the deepest pit.
Breathing out, breathing in,
Feel the sunrise on your skin,
Spinning planet with your bleeding bare feet,
Collecting final bits of force from inner well
To take another step towards a better self.
No matter how,
No matter what —
The goal is set,
The way is clear,
The day is long.
It's here and now —
Do it or not —
But in the end
The weakest link
Is growing strong.
Bracing up, holding on,
Venture into the unknown,
Crawling forth until the silent sky turns black.
Breathing in, breathing out,
Getting rid of every doubt
Crowd never greets the one who strikes the flag.
Collect the final bits of force from inner well
To take another step towards a better self.
No matter how,
No matter what —
The goal is set,
The way is clear,
The day is long.
It's here and now —
Do it or not —
But in the end
The weakest link
Is growing strong.

Closer, closer, stick to the road,
Claws are tightening around your throat...
Reaching out to misleading wind,
Trapped inside a dead-end labyrinth,
Rush, besotted with self-deceit,
Step by step to impendency.
Don't think you can avoid the fate,
Don't celebrate — it might be late!
In last man standing hide-and-seek
You have been caught — don't blink!
...Beyond the warming light
Immortal shadows hunt for prey,
Build up within your mind,
Invite to be a part of play,
Come crawling by your side,
Devour the power of the coming day,
And never fade,
Never fade away!
Forward, forward, don't make us wait,
Read-out verdict can't be delayed.
Show yourself to the final door,
Join the Nothing forevermore.
Don't think you have sufficient time
To improvise your pantomime,
Don't hope not to be the one —
You have been chosen. Run!
...Beyond the warming light
Immortal shadows hunt for prey,
Build up within your mind,
Invite to be a part of play,
Come crawling by your side,
Devour the power of the coming day,
And never fade,
Never fade away!
...Beyond the warming light
Immortal shadows hunt for prey,
Build up within your mind,

Devour the power of the coming day,
And never fade,
Never fade away!

Doppelgänger

No one will notice when I'm done,
When I give up and raise a wall
To put a stop amidst the endless run,
And leave a last unanswered call —
I've seen it all and felt this
Tension,
Indignation,
I've sought perfection
Through affliction —
In every thing
Now I fashion
Reflection of another me.
No one will notice when I'm gone,
When I stand up and try to break the Wheel.
Not much will change under the dying sun —
The light's too slow to show what's real.
I'll leave a last unanswered
Question:
Does salvation
Stem from intention
To wipe entirely
Reflection of another me?
With every second I waste,
With every action misplaced,
With every torture unfaced,
With every notion unclear,
With every word insincere,
With every groundless fear
I disappear.
With every moment I waste,
With every effort misplaced,
With every impact unfaced,
With every failure I taste,
With every chance I won't take,
With every choice I won't make,
With every promise I'll break
I nurture my own fake,
Forsaken in apathy,
Embracing my entropy,
In every nothing I see
A torn reflection of another me!

Dust to dust to dust — to synthesize a diamond,
Bezels blazing with a billion eyes,
Thrust it, master, into my postmortem crown,
Bury me before I agonize.
Ashes revitalize, becoming ember,
Striving to recognize and to remember,
Pulled out of peaceful dream into disaster —
First irritated scream will be the last one.
Highly unstable shell about to shatter,
Resuscitated shape regaining matter,
Spreading the seared wings, set up to live on,
Breathing a second wind into oblivion.
Rock to rock to rock — to build a mausoleum,
Seeking shelter from this boiling rage,
Set the clock to tell when we withdraw our genome
From the code of the coming age.

Spreading the seared wings, set up to live on,
Breathing a second wind into oblivion.
Rise
Above the fear —
So new and clear,
Light up the midnight skies!
Free,
Sublime and proud,
Remain unbowed,
One with eternity —
The only deity.

...Let us tough it out
And get through these trials unscathed,
As we always did!
How could we disregard for so long
What is happening?
Now we kneel down to reap what was sown
Recklessly.
Errors are bound to repeat.
Heart counts the requiem beat,
Eyes designed to be blind
Foresaw the demise of mankind.
We are willfully falling asleep
For eternity…
Snow won't stop coming down,
Giving shelter to those who rest in the ground,
What's lost can never be found
In the nothingness spilt around.
When the world is turned upside down,
It's too late for the mortals to bow to the ground.
No light, no movement, no sound
In the silence that reigns around.
...And let the time erase
The last remaining trace,
A sadly smiling face,
Impressed on the wall, —
The cycle goes on,
Another life is born,
Beginning from the dawn
Its way to the fall.
Ash won't stop coming down,
Giving shelter to those who rest in the ground.
We are lost and will never be found
In the nothingness spilt around.
When the world is turned upside down,
It's too late for the mortals to bow to the ground.
No light, no hope, no sound
In the silence that reigns around…

Once a Never

Before it happens, let me explain:
I dropped my weapons, now do the same.
Don't call me traitor when I trade
Your fairytale for a plate
Of perfect nonsense!
We tend to overestimate our own importance.
Your independence is a sham,
You can't be freer than I am!
Enthrone the thrown bringer of ignorance,
Criss-cross your fingers and hope for a chance,
And maybe once a never the odds are in your favour.
How do we settle this stalemate?
Who misperceived the paradigm
And pulled the trigger for this crime?
Can we begin another time
From ground zero?
Or should I stand on narcissistic par with Nero?
Call me a liar if I say
That everything will be OK!
Enthrone the chaos bringer in ignorance,
Criss-cross your fingers and hope for a chance,
And maybe once a never the odds are in your favour.
Enthrone the chaos bringer in ignorance,
Criss-cross your fingers and hope for a chance…
Enthrone the chaos bringer in ignorance,
Criss-cross your fingers and hope for a chance,
And maybe once a never the odds are in your favour.

I read the stars as an open book
Trying to find any tiny sign,
Figuring out what I feel…
And I'm asking myself: what if?
What if I took a closer look?
What if I read between the skylines?
How long would it take to reveal
The purpose of the life we live?
Conflagration
Blurs my vision,
Seems like incarnation
Of a superstition!
Constellations
Waltz in an ecstatic agony,
Appalling me...
Hold me tight when we ignite!
Zeit
Ist längst bereits
Vorbei,
Und nichts mehr zählt
Wenn alle Welt
In Schutt und Asche liegt.
Licht...
Ich fühl' wie es fehlt
So schnell...
Bevor es stirbt,
Ich schenke dir
Den letzten Sonnenblick!
Fürchte nicht.
Supernova, a lethal virus —
Every moment life can go wrong,
Will it make us stronger or will it wipe us?
We can guess, but we never know.
Turning over discolored pages,
Seeking crumbs of knowledge
Gathered through the ages,
I lose courage as I doubt:
What if the Sun went out
Eight eternities ago?..
Fever
Twisting my veins,
Squeezing my heart,
Tearing apart...
Griever,
You felt no pain
Bathing in warm
Ocean of light.
Take my hand before the end!
Zeit
Ist längst bereits
Vorbei,
Und nichts mehr zählt
Wenn alle Welt
In Schutt und Asche liegt.
Licht...
Ich fühl' wie es fehlt

Heard the voices of the masses chorusing my name
Aloud,
Saw excited faces looking forward to the game,
Thumbs down!
I put on my smiling
I put on my smiling
Face —
And let the world do what they want!
Indifferent to things I cannot change,
I step aside and lock my own cage.
Leave me alone!
Leave me alone!
I wander through the empty halls,
The show's off, the curtain falls,
Concealing what was done,
And only echo resonates,
Unknowing that a bullet waits
Inside the hanging gun.
One-on-one with my anticipated lunacy,
I'm chanceless.
Counting aeons slipping through my fingers 'til I see
The answers (within me).
...Suddenly, I cease to feel the slumber of the age —
The time's ripe.
Final bell invites me back again to take the stage
In full hype.
I take off my smiling
I take off my smiling
I take off my smiling
I take off my smiling
(My once smiling)
Face —
And let the world burn to the ground!
Indifferent to lives I cannot shape,
I locked the door, so no one will escape.
No way out!
No way out!

Designing Apocalypse
04:44

Face down on the floor,
Accepting the excess —
Cannibal carnival in full swing.
Ain't dreaming anymore,
Can't hope any less —
See evil, speak evil,
Think of the consequence.
Take and hold hard your breath,
Designing apocalypse...
Death!
I will not welcome your untimely arrival!
I am not letting you let me down and out.
Please consider it my official denial —
I'm refusing to drown in nihil.
Approaching the abyss,
Don't look it in the eye —
Never too ready to see your face.
Unable to resist
The unforgiving tide,
Cleansing intensively
Trace of the hell we built,
Mumble your shibboleth,
Defining mortality…
Death!
I will not welcome your untimely arrival!
I am not letting you let me down and out.
Please consider it my official denial —
I'm refusing to drown in nihil.
Death!
I will not welcome your untimely arrival!
I am not letting you let me down and out.
Please consider it my official denial —
