1. Ignorance
Tears of you in my hands diamonds on fire
I feel your pain in my ignorance of love
Time passes by as this night emptiness I feel
I know, oh I know, I forget you.
Sharing my pain with the night
But the pain is growing
Your black hair, black winds
from crystal mountains
Afraid the future afraid to live
Till the sleep takes my thoughts,
Come to me
Waves sound words to me,
Words I heard as I stead alone
Words of you
2. Deceitful Melody
Forgotten notes
Of a deceitful melody
Released in the wind
By an old quivering voice
Swinging in space
And taking the shape
Of a colorful symphony
Remnants of morbid habits
How meaningless now
Lyrics once representing the hate
Make a toneless sound
A blinding shine of truth
Reminded the exploited
Dreams of their youth
Time is up
For the departing silhouette
But a smile
Appeared above his head
3. One With The Darkness
The sun turned black
Through the shades of gray
I see your face, smile above my grave
Like jackals howling to the moon
Deliverance the doom of thee...
Save us from tragedy
The future is not to be
Like thousands years of pain
There is nothing to remain
Save us from tragedy
The future is not to be
And death will come so sweet
There is nothing to be seen
Our hearts turned black
Through the pass of time
Religion faded our God defy
For me a gift of torturing
Our misery is here to stay
Forever the candle burns hot
The wind is too strong for the
Flame to hold on
A tear dropped from the
Mourning skies
...And only death left to find
...And only death left for us
4. The Floating City Of Sin
A city without a country
Traveling at the cold ocean
Carrying the spiritless
Creatures of its era
Expectations and hopes
Sheltered in a few bodies
What a heavy load
For the floating city of sun
The pure souls of
The brave volunteers
It's only fuel
The loss of their dignity
Their precious reward
The floating city of sun
A heaven for its passengers
The living hell of
Its few followers
When the journey came to its end
No one was there to say the farewell
Just the brave volunteers
Who accompanied it in the abyss
5. Abstract Thoughts
Traces of the past
The memories which make
The whirlwind of illusions
To destroy the castle of sanity
Just yesterday I was diving
In the stormy sea
Just today I was
Rambling in the mountains
So monotonous the travel in time
Only one destination
Sounds can be listened to while
Admiring the colors of life
Inspiration is their name
Behind the closed eyes, paintings appear
Abstract thoughts in shadows' shapes
The irony is clear
6. The Conquerer Worm
Lo! 'tis agala night
Within the lonesome latter years!
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In veils, and drowned in tears,
Sit in a theatre, to see
A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully
The music of the spheres.
Mimes, in the form of God on high,
Mutter and mumble low,
And hither and thither fly
Mere puppets they, who come and go
At bidding of vast formless things
That shift the scenery to and fro,
Flapping from out their Condor wings
Invisible Woe!
That motley drama-oh, be sure
It shall not be forgot!
With its Phantom chased for evermore,
By a crowd that seize it not,
Through a circle that ever returneth in
To the self-same spot,
And much of Madness, and more of Sin,
And Horror the soul of the plot.
But see, amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude!
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It writhes! it writhes! with mortal pangs
The mimes become its food,
And the angels sob at vermin fangs
In human gore imbued.
Out-out are the lights-out all!
And, over each quivering form,
The curtain, a funeral pall,
Comes down with the rush of a storm,
And the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy "Man",
And its hero the Conqueror worm.
7. Stigma
His disease, their horror
The eternal prejudice
Towards the unknown
Transformed his life
Into a nightmare
So capable of drinking
The wine of monotony
And demanding an
Honorable death next to
His generation
All they offered him
Was the drink of slander
His personal stigma
The cry was fake
But so frightening
His spirit wasn't there
When the steel entered his body
They will continue to
Desecrate his grave until
Dust is the only remain
But he isn't there, he is nowhere
The martyr had stopped before
It (really started)
8. In Despair
A prayer above
The seraph's mourn
His fate was known
So long ago
His host awaits
Caress his face
A silent scene
The end begins
The time for him so quickly passes by
So many things he wishes he could try
The word is why, why he must die
When life so precious a gift divine
No sorrow that can fill her soul
Her only son is dying, he'll be gone
A way out from this world
Invincible disease takes it all
Don't look like this little Daniel
The world is yours
You can be anything Daniel
You just believe
You are my everything Daniel
Hold tight my hand
I'll stand beside you my Daniel
For ever and more
