Doomed
6 Anti-Odes To Life
1. The Doors
A sea full of moribund stars
Shores filled with lost lights
The salvation waits where the rivers end
Hundreds of monuments in it - silhouettes of the wrath
Climb up, overcome all the strain and you'll find them
This divine - as they dreamed before
But they'll still hide what they felt before
So bright shine all this weeping doors
Sweet lies - but they'll still adore
Nothing but treacherous hands
And the greed blinds the eyes again
The dried-up visions of change
Killed all my ingenuous hope
The roots of the grace are shattered
Now your souls just have to be burned
In another life - alone in solitude
Not divine - as they dreamed before
They'll still find what they felt before
Some will cry if they see these doors from the opposite side
Will hope die if they'll still adore
The own reflections, old reflections
I won't fear to stay here
It's my will to stand firm
I'll not leave
I will live
Hear this, life
I will fight
2. Aura
The grey veil has passed
The light of my memories shimmers through the remaining clouds
And death surrounds what's left of me
Dead feelings lie like withering leaves below my feet
My timeline - much clearer now
But the brighter the light, the sharpener the outlines and shadows
An aura of all my farewell scenes
Surrounds me and I have
To bear it and I'll never understand
All these losses sense
Collapse of light already started as
The first ray of sunshine reached my eyes
Why, life, are you ripping all these bonds
I carry in my heart
Say why
I wish that they had never disappeared
I wish you could return to me
And take my fear away
Aura
3. Touched
I was touched by his hands
I felt his presence
It was deception
It pulled me into the depths
And thousands of eyes stared me while I was falling down
Nothing that calmed me and I understood
That is the true way
There's nothing but fire
Warm lights and silence - lies of those who sent back
Being fearless - a mirage
So I opened my heart
And slowly everything became much clearer now
THese voices and faces - all people I knew
As if they had never been away
But something is wrong
I can see it in their eyes
The love in this place
Something is deceptive on these faces
Now the masks appear like grimaces - lost
Distorted illusions reveal my worst nightmares
That's what he's waiting for - forevermore
But time of my life I'll try to escape him - I'll try to face him
The end of it all
I refuse to accept that
There must be a hiding place
A moment when I can escape this haze
Touched - say what is your truth
Death - say me who are you really
4. Our Gifts
A curse spreads where we are seen
Inside the godlike there thrives a giant lie
Nothing we feel is real
Nothing we seal is real
We give our greatness to Mother Earth
She carries our burden all alone
But we continue - nothing is wrong
We will continue until everything is gone
We gave our greatness to Mother Earth
Since long ago we accept that she will die with us
Poisoned are our gifts but we forgot
Only nature is perfect
She will recover from our reign
Earth will arise
Being ruined is alone our price
5. Reason
You've seen my guilt - oh saviour
My profane feelings fly away
Your light let realize me
Why I have all these reasons to die
Sinful beliefs devour you
Be a children of the truth and flee
The sun let fail all secrecies
Say why you stay on the path of the blind
You've seen I failed - my saviour
To feel you makes me cry
I give myself in your hands - and I know
Why I have all these reasons to die
The belief in the fraud devours you
Unleash your reason and flee
The truth will absorb all disbelief
Don't stay longer on the path of the blind
Your mind can fight back to what's real
Don't stay on the path of ruin
Don't
6. Insignificant
Slowly and steady everything is floating in infinity
The asking for being - a stereotypical, narrow-minded thought
Hostile cold and light that our eyes can't see
How painful it is to question the universe
You stop being existent and all that remains
Is the incomparable beauty of a black hole
The could devours us and embers the spits
Out there great Mother Nature is silent
We are so insignificant
'Cause we're unable to keep our part of the world in gratitude
Our own pursuit for more will be our destiny
Hopeless are the prospects for improvement
Mindless are the contents of our views
Useless are all the intentions and vows
Treacherous are all the facades behind which we don't do anything
Nothing that could change that
But these thoughts wear me down
Hate reigns - resentment burns our veins
Snarling we insist on our trivial rights
Blood drenched narcissists - self-glorifying
The incest of our shortsightedness
We build us ruins
We always did
7. Layers (Ode to Life)
Thoughts:
The river of my time doesn't flow incessantly, because I alone am its source - but still he carries me and his water touches the shores of my life's stations
How much I long to be immortal, to stay - how much I detest the death and fear him at the same time - to see, feel and hear again for the first time - just a dream
The explosions of my senses where those of dying stars - I love the miracle of life - abhor so many of the living - it's the unanswered questions that make me live
But as hard as it is, every farewell leaves more - parting, loss of love and attachment, pain and uncertainty - and yet I implore you, life, stay with me - let me stay
So many times have you been good to me - I embrace you in joy and sadness
