9. There's nothing inside
1. The World collapses before my Eyes
As I...watch the world collapses before me eyes
Fellows ask their neighborood
What's taking place I told them about
A lot of lies
Stories from now to thousands years ago
Stories of forbidden names
Stories about those you feared
All your life
Shall I be punished to have feared the very ones who proclaimed
Themself kings over humanity
When everywhere I read about lies,
Treasons, and genocides they made in the name of god?
And what about a god,
Created at the image of man,
Only to accept our weaknesses
The reflection of the self cannot be stronger than what it reflects...
AS I WATCH THE WORLD COLLAPSES
PEOPLE FORGET
PEOPLE ACCEPT
AND THEY APPLY THEIR REVERENCE
Then tomorrow didn't come...
AND I stand....still...cold...
How should I force myself to accept
What's been foretold as our future
And the time finally comes...
We ripped apart our own humanity
In the name of lust
We forgot our very own nature
In the name of christianity
To accept, to obbey, to punish, to DOMINATE
And then tomorrow didn't come...
Shall I be punished to have feared the very ones who proclaimed
Themself kings over humanity
When everywhere I read about lies,
Treasons, and genocides they made in the name of god?
And what about a god,
Created at the image of man,
Only to accept our weaknesses
The reflection of the self cannot be stronger than what it reflects...
2. Immortality through Freezing
My life, endlessly cursed...
I dandle myself towards my damnation.
The punishment of the will to freedom
Sacrificed the chance I had in this world
Something divine leads me to wish immortality.
Something divine leads me to my death.
I must die to reborn as a semi god
Powered but the souls Of those I hated.
With an unsatiated revenge
I'ld fight and annihilated
All I always blamed of being guilty of my misery
So cold are now my feelings inside.
My heart beats sing an unholy cadence.
Hypnotizing my true will,
Paralysing the purity of my mind.
Through Freezing
I'll reach immortality
There I lay...under a snow filled sky
Awaiting that the death comes
To nobly end my life
The essence of my soul
Is beaten down by the freezes
Something divine leads me to wish immortality.
Something divine leads me to my death.
I must die to reborn as a semi god
Powered but the souls Of those I hated.
Cold
Pure
The purity of the cold
will bless my new life
The death silence of an eternal winter
Will lull me for eternity
Cold
Pure
Semi god is now what I became.
With might and pitiless,
I satisfy the wrath
Which is burning in my heart
With an unsatiated revenge
I'll fight and annihilated
All I always blamed of being guilty of my misery
3. A Silence among the Noise
Silence
I need
Tranquillity
To clear my mind
Could you please, for a moment, shut the fuck up !
I have enough of all I hear from you
All I'm dealing with doesn't making sense
Your opinion doesn't help me, it confuses me even more
I need
Tranquillity
To clear my mind
I can't focus on what I'm trying to think
I can't even choose what I want to think about
Actually I'm so scrambled that all I fucking want
Is to definitively stop that noise in my head
DAMNED WE ARE
Do all of you are living in this way ?
Do all of you are trying to control your lives ?
Is there someone that can clame this possible ?
Control needs knowledge but knowledge needs goodwill
Why were we punished
Of a capacity of judgement.
The only thing that it does
Is to fuck our existence ?
I believe
That the meaning of life
Is to live peacefully
With our own being.
I should face life
I should endorse my acts
To be prouder that I ever been.
But I cannot
Conceive it in another way
The perpetual need of sadness I feel.
Why were we punished
Of a capacity of judgement.
The only thing that it does
Is to fuck our existence ?
I believe
That the meaning of life
Is to live peacefully
With our own being.
4. Feasting Victory
Throughout the ages, the men have fought
For religion and political convictions.
Arms to the heart, heads towards the sky
With only their courage as support.
The only issue is victory,
Death to the defeated.
Surprising is the will of the mankind
When it believes in something.
War beasts, war soldiers,
They are pawns of their faith and beliefs.
War beasts, war soldiers,
They had feast of victory.
With their courage gained with blood
They fought for some kind of supremacy.
Without really knowing the goal of their conquest
The soldiers have obeyed to their lords.
Under their control and their influence
They flew, massacred and destroyed
The lives of their enemies.
I raise my sword
And pledge alliance.
I give my life
To you my king
Throughout the ages, the men have fought
For religion and political convictions.
Arms to the heart, heads towards the sky
With only their courage as support.
The only issue is victory,
Death to the defeated.
Surprising is the will of the mankind
When it believes in something.
Feasting
Victory
5. Internal Snarling
"Among the stars, a shine of lust.
Unveiled through the temptation.
Yet away of my consciousness,
an illusion is filling my hope."
Darkness continues to scramble my path
Again and again...
Thrall to my lord, I still agree to
The role I have to play
"A sign crossed my vision
A perception of freedom left to born
An Ode to my life
A gift to my spirit."
Evil, I'll always be evil
Again and again...
It's encrusted in my blood,
Beyond my flesh, through my bones.
The chrysalis which contains my soul
Is on the point to open.
I'll be pitiless
You will suffer
You will be my hatred, like trust is towards my love
You will be my hatred, like hope is towards my life
"My vision is so illuminated,
Impossible to resist it.
If only it could be true
I would let me spellbound by thee."
Dead, all I should be is dead
Coercive to the gift that been my life.
Then my path would be different.
It's the only hope which remains me.
Without a sign, I can only imagine
What it could be to be guided.
As the star direct his voyager
Something or someone will have to sustain me.
But I'm not affraid of what it could be.
6. The Shadow's Empire
Shadow's Empire
When politic sounds like comedy
You know something has gone mad
The empire's mouthpiece lurch from nowhere
Fueling our sleeplike brains of fairytales....
Knowledge is the silent weapon of the new resistance
An art forgotten in this realm of ignorance
But there are still a few to fight the arrogance
Of the shadow's empire malevolance
"Fear is reason - Ignorance is strength
Slavery is Freedom - War is prosperity"
The Shadow's Empire acts
Like a puppet master
Creating invisible enemies
To fight a nonexistent government
And the game still runs, stunning us
Illusions of a caring ruler, is blinding us
Who's to blame, those who controls
Or those who refuse the facts?
And then sometimes the master will suggest
He is the true ruler of this shadow world
All will listen to this despotic leader
With fear of retaliation against their worthless lives
When will you just wake up
And face this fucking reality
Stopping to act like a zombie
And to rise your fists in protest
To a lifelong enslavement??
"And even alone I'll stand in front of the shadow's empire
And even alone I'll bring it down stone by stone"
How worthless they are...worshipping the one who's enslaved
To his own commitment, to his own annihilation
And how to prosecute when you bear such a name
Council on the fabricated relations ??
Without being completely out of this machine,
We benefit from it.
Admittedly there are good dimensions in this life,
But meaningless, it is not for us.
Shadow's Empire
When politic sounds like comedy
You know something has gone mad
The empire's mouthpiece lurch from nowhere
Fueling our sleeplike brains of fairytales....
Knowledge is the silent weapon of the new resistance
An art forgotten in this realm of ignorance
But there are still a few to fight the arrogance
Of the shadow's empire malevolance
7. Myriad Nights
An uncommon night, a beautiful place
With a nice smell in the air that I can't describe.
I try to release my spirit
Of all which worry me.
And I walk under the moonlight.
The liberty I try feel.
Myriad
Nights
These quiet moments which I like to live
To review my life, to surfeit myself of sorrows
Blessed of knowledge, damned of understanding
Suffering from melancholy, enjoying my sadness
Myriad nights of endless reflections
Scorning my being, leading it to it's loss
Myriad nights I wished it differently
Knowing that I could never like my life otherwise.
All I tried result the same.
There's nothing to cure me.
Myriad nights of endless reflections
Scorning my being, leading it to it's loss
Myriad nights I wished it differently
Knowing that I could never like my life otherwise.
Myriad
Nights
Beyond me, the serenity.
Beyond me, the infinity.
Beyond me...
Travelling through my mind (to it's bounds).
Reminding me my past (feeling forlorn)
Looking for a future (ashamed of it)
Graceful to the (deliverance)
How unluminous is my path.
How untrue are my senses.
How unseen is my true will.
But over all, how I still dare live.
These quiet dreams which I like to live
To review my life, to surfeit myself of sorrows
Blessed of knowledge, damned of understanding
Suffering from melancholy, enjoying my sadness
Myriad nights of endless reflections
Scorning my being, leading it to it's loss
Myriad nights I wished it differently
Knowing that I could never like my life otherwise.
Myriad
Nights
8. A Glimpse of Apotheosis
It was dark times, irreligious,
The grey skies revealing the youth of the creation,
Inevitably the cradle of mankind
Through ages, many claimed to be deities.
"Delicious irony",
Because I am the only one!
Prophets and quack tried
By the weaknesses of the man
To create a god who filled their lacks.
But I am the only one!
Stupid puppets that we are,
When we need to be under the guidance of a god,
Like if for the good of our souls,
We need someone to blame.
Pathetic we are
When we kneel in front of Masters
Whom have been crowned by our wills.
"Master, I'm devoted to your orders.
But please promise me that I will not be wounded.
All that I want is to buy my eternal peace
And to be happy in my afterlife".
FUCK THAT!
The true powers are inside each one of us,
We are responsible for our own destinies.
It doesn't matter what the fuck will happen after our deaths,
It is now that we must be free...to live.
I am my own god,
No one other decide for me.
Like a noise of thunder,
I howl my control.
One day I will be judged.
If I failed, I will have to be blamed.
Whom will be allowed to be judges,
If that can be only you, gods.
With courage, I will face my sentence,
If ever this situation occurs.
With strength, I will even face the death
And if I lose, it would be
Because it couldn't be otherwise...
It couldn't be otherwise...
A glimpse of apotheosis
