We’ve neglected the aims of our ways in our hearts
We are such a mess
We only own the past and we made such a mess
If there ever was reason it got lost on the way or got misunderstood
We’re all twirling around, singing along
In this self-destructive dance
This self-destructive dance
Our self-destructive dance
Our suicidal dance
Ride over them
Connect to the asphalt
Our concrete beds
Are always covered with ashes
We strain, we fall
And simply bullet the blue
How did we come to this, on our ways, in our hearts?
We are such a mess
Leaders are chosen small minded or wisely
But they rule no more
Our war, it’s on!
So we get our faces smashed against our foundaments
Ride over them
Connect to the asphalt
Our concrete bed’s
Always covered with ashes
Have we done well?
When all currents are distorted..
Have we done well?
When five people are dying on their road…
We strain, we fall
And simply bullet the blue
We strain, we fall
And simply were wrong

All my fear and all of my fury
For threnodies, all so human
(Though it's just the horror of her light)
They all fear their own light in the dark
We all fear our light in the dark
Know that it is not dangerous to mistake children for angels
And one of the hardest things to see
Is how much can be forgiven?
And if a turning hour awaited
Couldn't her light shine soothing for thee?
Dead eyes see no more light in a meaningful existence
With the lack of a cause to not go astray.
Whatever this is
Whoever is needed
And whoever this may be...come on
Breathe in deep
Face me
Breathe out
And revive
Revive
All my fear and all of my fury
For threnodies, all so human
Lives could be spent worrying
Submission could lay down our silent songs in dirt
Oppression for comfort shall never base on us
It’s tragic that bad art’s more beautiful than great art
For it displays human failure
But we can hardly see this
From our bad seats in the human theatre
So most attempts to ease our grief
Are buried under the soil of our lament

Weary Hours Of The Fall
04:09

The thought of this coming revelation
Pierced to heart as a blast
The end's certainty
Brightness of living things fades in the back
Behind a song of mourning sang by the dead
Our journey was futile
All effort is futile
All hope is futile
So less time for us to rise
Distant horizon,
Shores of fate
Reveal this frailty of earth itself
Nothing but this deceiving bright flicker
Is the numbing background to just enduring
To the end of existence
So lay down your lifes
Everything we give is taken aside
Everything we take is taken
All of our lies shall be buried
In two years, not one day more
The world will be swept away
In the ruins of our conscience we constantly die
In his infernal rosefield
The tower of reality cries with his bestial voice
And time is only a face on the water
Time is only a face on the water
Sincerely yours
I'm praying for the end of time

Natural Chaos

This could have been the best thing that I ever did
A sundance along the wishing wells
This remains the only thing that matters
A therapy for natural chaos
Maybe this is gonna be over soon..

May this be a slumbering day at the sea
Glimpses of consciousness offer solace
With the weary looks of a bleak morning
This world is gasping and so am I
Like this degradation of ghosts that we have become
We have come to march over glass before we fade away
There will be neither control nor safety
There's no protection anymore
For no one and nothing
Suffer in truth
We may not meet again
If we don't flee along the line
Our pain will loose in meaning
And if we don't achieve fullfilment and let our hearts wither away
The lights we seek will cease to be
If we don't flee along the line our pain will loose in meaning
Our presence may be altered, even crushed to the ground
If just one of the myriads of its facettes
Is breaking up, is shattering
On this journey without a chance to return
Full of wrath we consume ourselves
So our light dies in times of obscurity
I remain here with a thousand questions
Though i won't ask no more
And you wouldn't say a word in any way
And if we don't achieve fulfilment
And let our hearts wither away
The lights we seek will cease to be
If we don't flee along the line our pain will loose in meaning

For This Once
04:35

For this once
Will be shown
No welcome thoughts
Of failing these miseries
For your lack of answers...
This just can't be your answer
Pretence, this path is called
Thence, I have often come
Rationalized, at least one should have
Evidence, just for this once
For this once, understanding
For this once, comprehension
Then fall beneath silence which brings comfort
Spare me solace for this once
Every time I take a look at the fractured remains
Ever left behind on this way
Mostly untouched, mostly self-imposed
Another proud state of mind dies with unknown consequences
It's the apparent inconsistency of regret and improvement
Too busy with denied self-pity
Too numb to step up just for this fucking once
Too weak for a change...
Pretence, this path is called
Thence, I have often come
Rationalized, at least one should have
Evidence, just for this once
Bold, this pattern is
But faint, my will seems
And failure, I always see
So cold, I've come to be
So sing, repentance
Sing, for suffering
For this once, understanding
For this once, comprehension
Then fall beneath silence which brings comfort
Spare me solace for this once

Lest We Forget
06:04
|

Prejudice is pouring like rain
Elusory ways darken empathy
I want to be much more than everything
All I can afford to give and let go
Coursing of complaisance
Soiling of everyone giving
Tomorrow is a disappointment
Compassion has turned into a carnage
Our minds waste away
I have to keep this up everyday
We need to see over the edge of the mirror that during a clear day
Holds the world and all consequences,
We cause and we design, never in vain
The warmth of souls does so much for me
Though I fail to find a way to repay
In lifeless actions life stops to matter
We need to keep this up everyday
It repeats over and over again
Lest we forget to take care of our hearts
And the Ones we share them with
We shall never forget to take care of our hearts
And the ones we share them with
And I shall never forget to take care of my heart and the one
I shall share this with you
I shall share this with you

What is the weight of not just a something in our lives?
How much fits into its requiem?
How much was lost?
How much faded away with it?
But how much is gained?
How - much - is gained?
This Requiem
To praise what's real
Indelibility was built before we collided
For numbing our pain
For knowing truth
I was only sleeping inside what you couldn't see
With the need to remember all my marks and scars will stay
I can't remeber to forget
I must remember to forgive
It could have been the death of someone
It could have been the loss of being whole
It could have faded into oblivion
It could have faded and then just have gone away
We're mostly the sum of words and chapters
In our life's book which we remember
Starless nights of peaceful rest at dawn of winter's soothing grace
Carried my head through meadows, whispered words of deliverance
Maybe I've asked for too much
Maybe I have never heard a word
It could have been the death of someone
It could have been the loss of being whole
It could have faded into oblivion
It could have faded and then just have gone away
We're mostly the sum of words and chapters
In our life's book which we remember
