Poet Introduction
An explorer on a distant planet, walks through the ruins, An explorer on a distant planet, and the journey begins.
The Rage Still Goes On
I have been living my life in that evening.
Lamentation in chasing dreams.
I have been carrying the weight of my dream.
I have been killing myself again and again.
A life spent in chasing dreams.
I have been carrying the weight of my dream.
Not today,
Not tomorrow,
But yesterday,
The tears are forgotten,
And the soul keeps on hurting.
Heal the scar in my heart,
I just want to sleep in peace.
I have been living for too long,
And the wild wind keeps blowin'.
Life is a warmth I wished for, ...
Lamentation in chasing dreams.
I have been carrying the weight of my dream.
I have been killing myself again and again.
A life spent in chasing dreams.
I have been carrying the weight of my dream.
Not today,
Not tomorrow,
But yesterday,
The tears are forgotten,
And the soul keeps on hurting.
Heal the scar in my heart,
I just want to sleep in peace.
I have been living for too long,
And the wild wind keeps blowin'.
Life is a warmth I wished for, ...

Exiled from Light
I keep finding misery in happiness,
And happiness in misery.
It's not the same as being alone,
Lights are drops of faiths,
Insignificant.
When the soul trembles in fear,
And breaks my heart in a million pieces.
I want to know every pain in this world,
And cherish them till my death.
I'm half drowned,
In a constellation of souls.
The voice is not heard,
And the words not understood.
There is no beauty left here,
But an exile into darkness,
Only a descent into madness.
I have found my treasure, ...

Endless Sky
When I look through the window,
I see a time, that has gone before us.
Yet not a time, that will come after us,
And a dying light holds onto hope.
And the melancholy is like a drug to me,
That unveils the curtain of a wretched sea.
And with every single moment,
Whispers a millennia to me.
When I silently stare at you,
I see an endless sky.
It exhales my every death,
And the night is a goodbye.
When I begin my journey,
I drench in endless rain.
It condemns a solitude,
And the night is a goodbye.

Awake at Last
When the thunder strikes silently,
The world turns a beautiful cold.
A distant memory lightyears away,
And a frail harp keeps on crying.
In the womb,
I was always dreaming,
Of a trip to the sun.
Through the white clouds,
And countless amnesia,
A trip to the sun.
I'm waiting,
On the edge of an asylum.
I'm hearing,
The sound of a single string.
I'm awake at last,
And the music that remains.
The world turns a beautiful cold.
A distant memory lightyears away,
And a frail harp keeps on crying.
In the womb,
I was always dreaming,
Of a trip to the sun.
Through the white clouds,
And countless amnesia,
A trip to the sun.
I'm waiting,
On the edge of an asylum.
I'm hearing,
The sound of a single string.
I'm awake at last,
And the music that remains.

Cosmic Drift
I wake up and see a light,
A darkness lurks behind.
I wake up and see a light,
And distress in my mind.
In my hands,
The smokes sail through the wind.
In my hands,
Stratosphere beneath and within.
A star becomes a sun,
Lands on cosmic wave,
And the countdown begins.
An astronaut in a sea is drifting,
And the void keeps calling.
An astronaut in a sea is drifting,
And the void keeps staring.
A darkness lurks behind.
I wake up and see a light,
And distress in my mind.
In my hands,
The smokes sail through the wind.
In my hands,
Stratosphere beneath and within.
A star becomes a sun,
Lands on cosmic wave,
And the countdown begins.
An astronaut in a sea is drifting,
And the void keeps calling.
An astronaut in a sea is drifting,
And the void keeps staring.

Thick & Thin
If I ever told you to gift me pain,
I know you wouldn't believe me.
In twisted dream you were here.
Never let us know what you were.
What I had seen, what I had meant,
Is only hope in darkness,
& the curse that faith brings.
So, take my hatred and stay out of my sight.
If I ever told you to forget the past,
I know you would happily accept.
And the pain that promises bring,
The torture in your words were true.
What I had seen, what I had meant,
Is only hope in darkness,
& the curse that faith...
I know you wouldn't believe me.
In twisted dream you were here.
Never let us know what you were.
What I had seen, what I had meant,
Is only hope in darkness,
& the curse that faith brings.
So, take my hatred and stay out of my sight.
If I ever told you to forget the past,
I know you would happily accept.
And the pain that promises bring,
The torture in your words were true.
What I had seen, what I had meant,
Is only hope in darkness,
& the curse that faith...

Sail
Inside the nightmares I wake up,
Everyday I look for new dreams.
Inside the silence I keep looking,
Every moment I look for meaning.
And the light that pierces the night,
Shines gently upon the earth.
And the fire that keeps on burning,
Envelops me on my rebirth.
When the clouds are gone,
And I sail through endless skies.
I live within infinite dreams,
And the universe is inside me.
Everyday I look for new dreams.
Inside the silence I keep looking,
Every moment I look for meaning.
And the light that pierces the night,
Shines gently upon the earth.
And the fire that keeps on burning,
Envelops me on my rebirth.
When the clouds are gone,
And I sail through endless skies.
I live within infinite dreams,
And the universe is inside me.

Refract
I remember being out of home.
New storm in town, we snuck through backdoor.
I could smell the freedom in air.
They thought ill of us, for them it was despair.
I could taste the little freedom we had.
They didn't like freedom, it ain't meant to last.
Some of us could get away, some could not.
Luck was not on my side, I got caught.
I was a rebel, I fought the whole way.
Why are we different?
My mind could say.
I was a little kid, but, I knew at last.
We are bound in chains.
We are things of past.

The Pathos
I am standing on this ground,
Firm, static and ubiquitous.
Degrading insanity envelopes,
These roots make my coffin and I mourn.
Disoriented, they feed off the soul.
Divine, in their affliction I mourn.
Rupture, in between the fallen lands.
The trumpets will blow, the splendor of wrath.
Eternal, the gospel I read before.
Deceased, the brink of extinction.
Unseeing, they chose ignorance.
Oblivion, only corpses will remain.
I can feel the emotions of eternity.
I know the string that joins entity.
I know...
Firm, static and ubiquitous.
Degrading insanity envelopes,
These roots make my coffin and I mourn.
Disoriented, they feed off the soul.
Divine, in their affliction I mourn.
Rupture, in between the fallen lands.
The trumpets will blow, the splendor of wrath.
Eternal, the gospel I read before.
Deceased, the brink of extinction.
Unseeing, they chose ignorance.
Oblivion, only corpses will remain.
I can feel the emotions of eternity.

A Nameless Flower
Should we be so happy as we lay in peace?
We unravel our love today, we are so closer.
I know I never told you every little thing I felt.
I know I can't promise you a better tomorrow.
As I walk down the road to hell.
Would you gaze at the stars again with me?
Somewhere, those days under a starry sky.
Tell me, I will sink to the depths of darkness.
If you want me to, I will burn in flames of sin.
I believe in fear & agony,
Deceased will be our soul.
Reflect the light the unto our path,
Crossing the harvester's...

Ensemble of Thoughts
Woe is the sound of her eyes,
An ensemble of thoughts, a nocturnal gaze.
Solemn is the sound of her heart,
To hide the caverns of mind, to resist sunshine.
And the gentle demeanor she carries,
Like silent wings, caresses my being.
In her cradle she is submerged still,
Bruised in spirit but her soul is clean.
And when the strings writhe in silence,
She keeps on chanting dreams in her breath.
Her mind is an ocean, her memories a pain.
And the cries won't reach her, let alone mine.
An ensemble of thoughts, a nocturnal gaze.
Solemn is the sound of her heart,
To hide the caverns of mind, to resist sunshine.
And the gentle demeanor she carries,
Like silent wings, caresses my being.
In her cradle she is submerged still,
Bruised in spirit but her soul is clean.
And when the strings writhe in silence,
She keeps on chanting dreams in her breath.
Her mind is an ocean, her memories a pain.
And the cries won't reach her, let alone mine.

Withered Leaves
I remember December.
The winter days & gray skies.
I saw your face for the last time.
Weary were your eyes.
My heart sank in darkness.
Hollow was your presence.
And, you whispered into my ears.
As I could smell the wilted air.
I tried to find peace midst juvenile rhymes.
Relic of the past you were.
I wished you would disappear.
Sickened days gone past within.
I was waiting for the sun.
Little did I know I already died.
That the spring won't come.
Once were beautiful now vile.
The moon...
The winter days & gray skies.
I saw your face for the last time.
Weary were your eyes.
My heart sank in darkness.
Hollow was your presence.
And, you whispered into my ears.
As I could smell the wilted air.
I tried to find peace midst juvenile rhymes.
Relic of the past you were.
I wished you would disappear.
Sickened days gone past within.
I was waiting for the sun.
Little did I know I already died.
That the spring won't come.
Once were beautiful now vile.
The moon...
