1. The Other Path
For so long I've been walking on the path of my life
This way it hurts my feet but bravely I'm going on
Straight ahead, with no staff to support me
Around me, the landscape remains the same
It used to please me, it now turned grey
Around me, I see barriers to infinity
I cannot escape my destiny
A long time ago, this way I've chosen
Cause I couldn't cope with suffering
A sign said "Felicity at the end"
I started walking and now I'm going on
For too long I've been walking on the path of my life
On its sides, bushes have turned into barb wire
For too long, I've been walking on the road of my faith
It has now turned into the darkest corridor
All I want is to fly away, to leave this gloomy road
I'm now waking up n'Don't want to follow it anymore
But wings I don't own, my salvation is lost
As I'm used to, I keep walking on and on
As I reach the bottom of my doom
A light appears and shines through the night
This is not the end of my road, it's another path
It snakes away to another life
For too long I've been walking on the path of my life
Time has come to make the choice
For too long, I've been walking on the road of my faith
Pray for me to do the best
2. My Last Breath
I see blood flowing like an endless river
Red is my blood, pale becomes my skin
I creep like a snake so as to reach my last bottle
Like a painter with is picture, I spread my own blood on the floor
Cruel god, why don't you end all those sufferings
Why are you so cruel to me, you're a sadistic
Let me join my paradise where freedom reigns
Stay in your wisdom of hypocrisy
Let humans decide their own destiny
They don't need your rules, they are stupid
And then, I plunge into darkness
3. Behind the Mask
The world flows around me
I'm not swimming in its currents
As a rock in this muddy river
Alone I stand in its floods
I'm hiding behind a mask
Doom rules my world
Tyrannic king of my mind
While I show up this smiley
The reason of my despair
Is your possible lost my love
I can't help, you're on my mind
I can't help, to love you
Without you, life is tasteless
The flavours all fade to grey
Without you, light is darkness
The colours all seems the same
Wheat decays on its stalks
Burnt inside like my soul
Birds shot down while flying
Down in flames like my heart
Endless night on my mind
Will obscure all my thoughts
Forever, my wounded flesh
Will pour tears, for you're gone
I'm hiding behind a mask
I'll destroy it for you
Sweetest queen of my mind
When you are mine forever
The world flows around me
I'll swim again in its currents
When water becomes clear again
When we are one for evermore
The reason of my despair
Is your possible lost my love
I can't help, you're on my mind
I can't help, to love you
4. Eternal Sufferings
My wounds are widely opened now
Time has come to plunge into despair
Darkness is the only wish of this world of sorrow
There is no place for joy in my bleeding heart
I cannot reach my innner peace
That i deserve in my griefful moments
Someday i will drown myself into my neverending tears
Someday i will see myself dying of eternal sufferings
My blood is frozen into my veins
All i can feel is this loneliness
Which has been invading me for countless years
Which is leading me to these eternal sufferings
Someday i will sleep eternally in the arms of mother nature
Someday i will be decaying in my own lifeless corpse six feet under
5. The Isle of the Dead
- Death -
I'm dying
Laying on the bed that will be my last one
The faces of my beloved surround me
They'll all pass me away
I have no fear,
My time is done and it's time to leave
Nothing remains of me
But my dying body that lies in this circle of tears
My eyes will soon close
And my soul will reach its new home
The empty shell of my body
Will turn into dust and ashes
And suddenly it is done
I watch my corpse, flying upon him
I've got nothing to do here for evermore
It's time to leave now.
- The Journey -
I'm dead now
Sat in Charon's boat, I'm reaching my new home
Into the isle of the dead, he'll lead me
Where I'll rest for the end of times
I have no fear,
The floods are filled with lost souls who'll try to get me
But they won't take my spirit
Cause I'm already done with life
My eyes will soon see
The giant trees and the island's hole-filled cliffs
My ethereal and living soul
Will reach its eternal sleep
And slowly we cross the lake
I watch the shore, craving to touch it
I'm so tired, please let me die
It's is time to rest now
6. Unholy Prayer
If you're hurt by someone
Hold out the other cheek
This is the most important message
That someone left to humanity
Then you came with your holy book
Then you spread this holy gift
Bible in one hand, a sword in the other
To slay all people thinking different
Holy man, I reny your church
Too many slaughters've been done
Holy man, I won't pray for your god
For he let you kill in his name
Remember this innocent people
Devoured by flames for being different
In these dark times of heresy
When devil was every woman
Remember this dirty unbelievers
They died by their brothers' swords
Covered with crusades blood
Murdered for the holy cause
Holy man, I reny your church
Too many slaughters've been done
Holy man, I won't pray for your god
For he let you kill in his name
Hypocrit priest of hate
You forgot what you exist for
In your mouth, love means death for anyone
But the sheep that follows your insane path
Let us think by ourselves
We don't need your misleading talk
Let us remember what love means
Centuries of lies made us forget
Holy man, I reny your church
Too many slaughters've been done
Holy man, I won't pray for your god
For he let you kill in his name
7. Alone in My Coffin
So many tears have been flowering in my grave
So many flowers have been withering on it
Alone in this jail, I hear the wind caressing my gravestone
Loneliness is timeless and my sufferings endless
Silence. I can't stand it. I hate It.
I feel the vermin swarming through my body
My limbs are decaying like old fruits.
I'm doomed to stay here, my soul is trapped
Who condamns me ? why ?
What have I done ?
Where is my god ?
Anyone is perfect, we all are sinners
Humanity is what it is
Temptation is human lust too
Who has the right to judge us ?
Neither a god, nor the humans.
