1. Better Days Never Come (Lament - Vessels of Hope)
I - Lament
Better days never come, they were not meant to be
If laments could be heard
Then mine would sound like this
Better days never come, they were not meant to be
They're manmade godlike gifts in a vein that can't bleed
I know these days won't come...I accept my fate
II - Vessels of Hope
There's an ache to return
That keeps fighting in the mess
Now I'm all ashes to burn on my own
Hopefully getting out of bless
Better days never come
They're manmade godlike gifts
Forget all emotions, so ephemeral certainties
Forget all emotions, magisteries carved in tears
All degrees of suffering are smaller than desire
Poor soul of thee, living for what will never be
In this harvest we can only sow defeat
We're vessels of hope when the fiddle sighs urging for more
Our joys are tasteless
They've gone colour-blind to renewed promises
So quit your decrepit mirth
Leer upon my flair to make haste
A feeling that chokes since birth
Virtual hazard encages the waste
Better days never come
They are manmade godlike gifts
You need me around (those needs I repel)
To prove fate wrong (repenting the miracle)
But what's in store? (we could never control)
In vain you hide the truth (get me wrong)
The unpredictable (grows me strong)
Flickering losses (speed up my heart)
Better days never come...
2. The Wine
Deny me not the throne I deserve
We'll never know that was in store for us
We're just dissidents both wounded in victory
We'll never know whether they were true
Tell me not these stories I despise
I remain unseen, recognize my disguise
And taste the wine
Come taste the wine, crave for it
Until my blood is running in your veins
Take what's thine, live with it
Soon it will be running in your veins
Care for me as I give you all
I don't expect anything but my own fall
Stare at me as I give you all
I don't want anything in return but all
And taste the wine
Don't you drop the wine I bleed for you
I no longer wait for you believing
Don't you wonder why you can't fulfill
What once was the reason for your living
So taste the wine
3. Redemption Through Pain
I - Morning has died
I relied upon you
As the sun trusts night to the moon
Morning has died, it will have me dead too soon
Death comes always too soon
But it might bring some peace along
Never to the living ones
II - Cringing in this heaven
And somehow this redemption
Sounds like a doubtful prayer
And yet this pain that sprouts
Frees me from this war to declare
Redemption through pain
Stop trying to make me crawl
Blood being spilled
Where pictures of you sprawl
Some scars can never be removed
Senseless dreamer I've been
As any other fool would have
Vain destruction, I name your masterpiece after you
In my ruins, unable to feel a single hope
Fed up with blurring truths
I know, know that I was nothing
Consumed by your will
But I will, I'll turn you into nothing
Cause cringing in this heaven
Makes us feel so heathen and yet released
4. A Letter to a Narrow Allegiance
Something about your manners
Surprises me every day, but no
Things are not the same in our lives
Here lies a doleful soul
Could it be a refusal?
Or just a way you just found to be mean
Such a narrow allegiance to such a weak happiness
Carry me in this chamber
Lie...you might find me so lost
But it's just me: a light that can't be seen
You might find me pathetic
Omniscient in my grave
Something about your scars
Makes me laugh and wonder why
Would you be open-minded enough
To fail in your trail
Doomed in the stanzas (that the poet has made)
Painted in the canvas (a forlorn self-portrait)
It made me like this...you failed before me
5. Soothe the Wrath of God
What's in these pills, that won't let me sleep?
This catharsis I asked clarified my doubts
Delirious apathy...without this remedy, I'm dead
Such embrace would soothe the wrath of God
No disgrace could ever bring a happiness so odd
What's in this feeling that won't let me curdle?
This alibi I can't use wouldn't help me shout
A call to oblivion: to live without this remedy
Such embrace would soothe the wrath of God
No disgrace...
Live...a dead body can live
A dead mind may think
You don't seem to hear the wrath of God
Such embrace would soothe the wrath of God
No disgrace could ever bring a happiness so odd
Without this remedy, I'm dead, you soothe the wrath of God
6. Waiting on Your Fall
Almost catching the spirit again
Recovering my deeds done in vain
All the tears that I have shed
When my ways were all misled
Have shown me the other face of fate
Have taught me the real meaning of hate
Colliding truth and dreams - reality is worse than it seems
Searching, never finding the touch of God on my face
The moment I died is written on the wall:
a picture of me waiting on your fall
Almost reaching the silence again
It keeps surrounding me until I surrender
Thoughts bringing kindess and anger
Both life and death embrace me together
Shall I decide the side I'm in forever?
Always at war with my conscience
Breathing the losses of existence
Building reasons to believe the lie
Words smell like past - shall I speak my last
Forging limits to my private sky
Could not be that fast - afterlife's one more test
7. No Meaning
Life's a deed I deny, a mission I regret
A mourning I defy...and there's no meaning.
Life's a promise I repent, I'm no deceiver
A letter never sent - now I'm searching for a meaning
I'm not the weaker, but just the leftouts of my rage
So flatly committed to life
Perseverance wants to fail me
An engine that slays my soul
For suffering is my creed
I call it a fear of failing
Nearly facing this task, what you call will
For all the lies we tell were never meant to be...
There's no meaning
When a word is worthless, it seems so wasted
And the hardship of living is a fine sweet funny play
We stood pretending nothing would be in our way
Answers we can't hear
Unreachable, emphasize this mistery
And the enemy that we don't fear
Endeavors my victory
8. The Lunar Soil Pt I - A View to Yesterday
___Instrumental___
9. The Lunar Soil Pt II - Perfect and Cold
You're so perfect and cold as the lunar soil
You're the distance unfold from the lunar soil
You showed me to the lunar soil
When the night was still
And the past silenced our reason
You kept every word I ever wrote
Because they could be yours
As it now seems impossible to get rid of misery
In pieces on the lunar soil
I just found another moon
In pices on the lunar soil
I've been to a wrong sky
You showed me to the lunar soil
When the night was over
You just made shadows live again
Keeping every word I ever said
Because they should be yours
As it now seems reliable this way out of agony
Let me fear, comprehend my fear
We know what's like to be in pieces on the lunar soil
