Awakening from my slumber,
Limbs laced by the price of my salvation,
Darkness fills the air,
On this cold autumnal morning,
Will I forgive,
Will I linger on,
My future is uncertain,
My past obstructs me,
Will I find them,
Iron shadows of the dark,
To end it here,
Where it all began.
I feel them everywhere around me,
Red iris staining my path.
Their hands are choking my throat,
Trying to kill the remnants of my humanity.
Will I forgive,
Will I linger on,
My future is uncertain,
My past obstructs me,
Will I find them,
Iron shadows of the dark,
To end it here,
Where it all began,
I hear the sound of the waves collapsing against the cliffs,
Reminder that the light beacon draws near.
Crows are drawing circles in the cold skies,
Omen of what has to come,
I hear the sound of the ocean,
Coming from what is now a memory left behind
I left everything behind...
Omen of what has to come.
And then far, really far away,
I saw her hair, dark strands flowing at the window.
Even by the distance I could smell her poison,
I could remember what she had done,to me,
to them...
I hear the sound of their madness,
Echoes from beyond the ocean,
I can feel their grief,
Their deception, their pain.
I cannot make it this time,
I have to leave and come back,
Sometime when the moon grows dark anew
I will come back and find you.
I wish I could have stayed there,
By the fires, by the graves,
I wish I could forgive,
But somewhere in the fog of my migrains,
I know I will never do.
I couldn't make it this time,
I had to leave and come back,
This time as the moon Is dark anew
I will come back and find you,

Partit,
Libéré doucement
d’un avenir chancelant.
Flétrit,
Érodé par le temps,
Emporté subitement.
En cet automne fatal
L’horloge s’est arête,
Le fil fut coupé.
La Mort s’est invitée,
Du tranchant de sa lame
Récolte cette vieille âme.
D’innombrables vies
Éradiquées, toutes, d’un seul geste,
Réincarnation de la peste.
Fléau sans merci,
L’inévitable pour tous ceux
qui portent ce chancre, si nombreux.
Pourtant si fier, si sage, si vivant,
Le parasite s’incruste sournoisement.
Pourtant si fort, si droit, si endurant,
À l’intérieur, la corruption s’étend.
Déchire les liens,
Détruit sans lendemain.
Affligés, sombrants dans le deuil.
Déchire les liens,
Détruit sans lendemain.

Sleeper

Vivid memories, carving into your soul,
Etched upon the being, perennial.
Twisted destinies, apart we shall grow,
Forgotten, deceit, misery, cast down, forlorn.
Obscured memories, faint marks onto your soul,
Searching for the means, return, rejoin.
In sleep lies the key, when the door is shown,
Cross the gate, relive, ephemeral.
Chronos turns the sands,
Held on to the past.
Chronos churns the sands,
Onward and on, no use in turning back.
Never turning back.
No more looking back.
To dwell in the past is to live in vain.
Fondness for the years, sad, those who remain.
Move forward and let go of the pain.
For to live in the mind yields no true gain.
Hazy memories, cast out of your soul,
Etched upon the being, perpetual.

Veil
04:14

|

Somewhere beyond a snowy mountain range
Stood a tree rooted In regrets,
Reaching the sky.
Piercing our hearts,
Burning our flesh,
It led us to our demise,
None could escape
its veil,
deathly white.
Feeding on the souls of the dead,
It was our greatest fear,
A mark left by insanity,
A symptom of our misery,
Piercing our hearts,
Burning our flesh,
It led us to our demise,
None could escape
its veil,
deathly white.

Remnants

A vale of green with buds of white
A place of succor from the strife
Where flows a river, stream of life
To feed the flora
It covers the ground with drops of silver
A misty morning cloak
The grasses grow tall and taller
The birches and oaks
A vale of green on mountainside
Mountains of frost towering high
Where glows the sun, the silver shines
A swarm of rays
A young soldier lies here
No helmet covers his head
His mouth is slightly opened
Upon the fresh cress he bathes
He slumbers, pale, under the sky
Laid on the grass where rains the light
He slumbers, pale, under the sky
Smiling as would smile a sickly child
He slumbers far too deep
For countless hours, asleep
His flesh is cold as the evening
Please, Nature, warmly cradle him
The scent of Nectar in the air
Does not his nostrils stir
He’s sleeping underneath the sun
His fingers sprawled across his chest
He’s sleeping underneath the sun
His hand upon his breast
Tranquil
It’s pouring out
It gushes out
Two red holes
Perforate his side
Crimson holes
Letting run his life
It’s pouring out
Splashing ‘pon the leaves of grass
It gushes out
Return to the soil
Blood red soil
Blood red

Ce goût vicié d'un indomptable,
D'un impalpable enflammement,
Cette tentation, elle te frappera comme les autres
Ne fuit pas ce ciel obscur, affronte
Peu importe la sombreur des âmes
Dresse toi tel l'aube
De tes bottes, tu as usé bien des routes,
Ta volonté inénarrable en a surpri plus d'un
La leur gisant déjà bien oubliée
Dans ce vide qui les tourmente
Mais, comme eux, tu ne pourras résister
l'atteinte de l’inassouvissable clepsydre
elle prend, elle gruge, elle coupe, elle détruit,
elle ne t'oublie jamais
et ce même si elle te pousse dans ces dédales noircies
De l'oblitération mentale et mémorielle
elle prend, elle gruge, elle coupe, elle détruit,
elle ne t'oublie jamais
Tel la chaîne reliant l'ancre
Sache rester fort, fier, debout!
Affronte les Tempêtes,
Affronte les flots
Qui reviendront incessamment
N'erre pas trop loin de ta condition
N'erre plus, la presse saura te faucher
Sache rester droit.
Sache redevenir toi
Sache te tenir droit

Void

Beyond the sight of human eye
Beyond the sight of seers
Beyond the bounds of space and time
Towards nothingness we steer
Through the light of myriad suns
Wreathed all in flames
Spewing tongues of scorching amber
A final expiring flare
Astray, yet conscious of our destination
To err through nothing
To wander the emptiness
To seek the end
The vortex that lies in wait
Ignition of doomsday
Explosion at the core
Conflagration consuming matter
Drawing in stars and their cosmic lore
Sucked in throughout the cosmos
Succumb to the pressure
Rent and torn in the vortex, swirling
Scream as your soul is swallowed
Singularity in the dark
A whirlpool of planets stars and all
Singularity in the dark
A whirlpool of planets stars and all
Ignition of doomsday
Explosion at the core
Conflagration consuming matter
Drawing in stars and their cosmic lore
Sucked in throughout the cosmos
Succumb to the pressure
Rent and torn in the vortex, swirling
Scream as your soul is swallowed into the void
Down the hole in the stars
All that was learned
All that was known
Existence turned to oblivion
Funneled in
Vertigo
Drawing in
The eye, it grows
The eye of the storm
The pitch black hole
Many light years wide
Feasting on the celestial
Reaping, reaching mass, critical
No mere stars, but galaxies eaten whole
Wrecking, breathing failure, life support
Cracking, hull is shattered, live no more
The core of the maelstrom
The fathomless hole
Many lives it wipes
Devouring the celestial
Reaping, reaching mass, critical
No mere stars, but galaxies eaten whole
Wrecking, breathing failure, life support
Cracking, I shall live nevermore
Astray
Yet destination reached
Err to nothingness
Sought the end
