Ixion To the Void 1. Beyond the Skies Earth seems to me a sterile promontory My arms are burst for I have embraced the clouds In the depths of sky blaze My consumed eyes just see memories of the sun In vain I tried to find purpose of this land I feel like my wings are broken Through the dark I escape Hear my pray see my pain Burnt by love of beauty, I honor the sublime Take my hand, night walking Give my name to this abyss, Who might be my grave Be wise and stand quiet, demanded evening For others concern, for you a peace Beyond the skies I will rise. 2. The Plague See these ruins We have buried our existence underground In this wasteland, we sealed our grave The devil itself breathes out A sterile vapor firmament Contagion to innocent world Heaven’s face does glow against the doom It should never have been created Desperate times, desperate measures They say this is fantasy, it’s very ecstasy Won’t belief take them all, Touching this dreaded sight? We’ll leave you behind, we need to escape A new hope for mankind We think there is no cure Break my soul I must hold my tongue and my heart In this hypocrites Such bitter business I would like to die With trustful visage I’m thought-sick at the act Don’t come with me, I let you go Your head over my shoulder I’m sorry. 3. Leaving As ship is soaring and Earth is fading The cosmos reveals its deep infinity Distances dissolve, no limits around We have left to the void Beyond the sky, myriad of stars Celestial dew, everlast tears Possess me merely and takes my breath away Behind the curtains, veil of light Sweet fragrance, perfume of divine A beauty, purity I need to forget you Though yet of our dear son’s death The memory be black, And that is befitted to bear our mind in grief And our whole entity to be contracted In one brow of woe Yet I have dreams Which are the very substance of the ambition Or merely shadow of a dream Where I believe in us all And our redemption saving mankind. 4. New Heaven Bounded in a glass sphere Counting myself a king of space Flesh merging on stellar waves and clouds Shapes of colours and majestic rays Mesmerized by floods of bright Have we found Heaven? That the solid would melt, thaw And resolve itself into the nil The very stellar flash The innocent will chase away the dark And burn empire shadows to limits never reached See this chaos we pretend to tame Celebrate our power We’re now one with the cosmos At last you’re here To the celestial, to my soul’s idol To the most beautified burn me To the celestial to the moonlight, To the cheeriest maid O most best, burn me, consume. 5. Fear of the Hidden One auspicious, one dropping eye With mirth in funeral and with dirge in birth In equal scale weighing delight and dole Could it came with you? Hidden in your head, intoxicating Nor have you herein barred our better wisdom, Which have freely gone with this affair How could we be so blind? Could I keep my faith? A fault to the dead, a fault against nature Ministers of the plague making night hideous They should swallow us all Could it come with us? I doubt some foul play No it cannot be Peevish opposition Why should we take it to heart? Do we fall in madness? Dead middle of the night We need you to stay sane It is all in your mind. 6. Rebellion All was so planned But now fear is spreading Feel violence it’s coming Follows that you know My old friend holding A weak supposal of our worth, Or thinking by our late dear fellow’s death Our judgement to be disjoint and out of frame, Colleagued with the dream of his advantage, He has not failed to pester me with his doubts No surrender, feel anger, keep secret We’re failing for glory I think it is time to cast traitors Follow me of else you will be banned. 7. Falling to Apathy They felt into an infinite sadness, Then into a fast thence to a watch, Thence into weakness, thence to a lightness By this declension, To madness therein they rave Remember, When we used to talk about our futures An innocent mote to trouble the mind No more dreams, we are damned Passing through nature to eternity They felt like they were really close To control the entire world You know that we all must die I wonder where are you going? A place of no return most likely. 8. Funereal Dance They’re dancing around stars Silver shrine has opened His black ponderous jaws To glimpses of nebula They are martial fools of nature Hearsed in void out of their sepulchre Thoughts beyond reaches of our souls, Corpses have burst their cerements Cannot believe Ghost ships in darkness Cold tombs for our friends What may this mean? Obsequious sorrow in obstinate condolement Suffocating, you died with eyes wide opened Impious stubbornness, grief And mourning duties This must be so, who still has cried? Unprevailing woe. 9. Soothing in Agony Tomorrow will never come Reason has fought with passion With wisest sorrow we’ve to think on death Realize The hope that shines on new horizons Overconfidence will bring weakness We have no choice now Spirit of health against damned ill-omen Thee airs from heaven face blasts from hell Thy wicked intents or charitable My very soul my rhapsody Sweet notes to soothe you in agony Do not burst in ignorance, answer me It’s time to accept judgement What to do? Our violent property fordoes itself And leads the will to end his being. 10. Fade to Blue Laying alone, I close my eyes, I see the flood, she calls me back The summit of a cliff draw me into madness The fathoms to the sea hear it roar beneath me Memories coming back, fragments of a life Visions of beauty, all the wonders I missed The dreadful regrets the horrible mistake Disappointed promises and melancholy Let me walk in the sun Brave overhanging firmament Caress of the void on my cold skin Heart of rebirth Nothing but a piece of gloom – I miss you Before a profound dream – remember What a piece of work – like an angel What a paragon – like a god – dust I have lost my mirth I see her the very place In this wide emptiness she tempts me A freezing embrace – fade away Most dear, my soul to her – my soul to her.
