1. Five People Died On The Road
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
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 fundaments
Ride over them
Connect to the asphalt
Our concrete beds
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
Were wrong
2. Lilith Soiled Our Threnodies
All my fear
And all of my fury
(Though it's just the horror of her light)
For threnodies
(Though it's just the horror of her light)
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 theater
So most attempts to ease our grief
Are buried under the soil of our lament
We’re in this gallery for all to see
And for no one to understand
A background of fear and fury
But every decision we make without fear
Is a right one
We need to see the right ones
Though we are all so human
So human
And such a fiasco
So human
Such a fiasco
What a fiasco
What a fiasco
3. Weary Hours Of The Fall
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
Our hope, so futile
So less
Time for
Us to rise
Distant horizon
Shores of fate
Reveals this frailty
Of earth itself
Nothing but this deceiving
Bright flicker
Is the numbing background
To just enduring to the end
End of existence
So lay down your lives
Everything we give
Is taken aside
Everything we take
Is taken
All of our lies
Shall be buried
In the ruins of our conscience
We constantly die
In two years, not one day more
The world will be swept away
In his infernal rosefield
The tower of reality
Cries with his bestial voice
And time's just a face on the water
Time is only a face on the water
Sincerely yours
I'm praying for the end of time
4. Natural Chaos
5. Full Of Wrath, We Consume (Ourselves)
6. For This Once
For this once
Will be showed
No welcome thoughts
Of failing these miseries
For your lack of answers
This just can't be your answer
Pretense, 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
That 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
Pretense, 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 repentance
Sing repentance
Sing for suffering
For this once
Understanding
For this once
Comprehension
Then fall beneath silence
That brings comfort
Spare me solace
For this once
7. Lest We Forget
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
People are losing their meaning
There are no ideals anymore
And without ideals there’s nothing
That makes us bigger than we are
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
To share them with
I shall never forget to take care
Of my heart
And the ones
I share it with
And I shall never forget to take care
Of my heart and the one
I shall share this with you
8. Requiem For A Countenance
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 this need to remember
All the marks and scars will stay
I can't remember 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
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've never heard a word
It could have been
It could have faded
We're mostly
9. The End
