Love Exchange Failure
1. Love Exchange Failure
Empty streets wallow in night lights
Crowded for a day, they rest
But lonely strangers always gaze
At every turn, they do their best
While someone's running from themselves
They often want to save some time
Instead, they make an old mistake
Passionately commit a crime
Feeble flesh is torn apart
Blood and dust are turned to mud
Once was bright — will never shine
I gift you with what was mine
Take my pains and leave a prayer
I am your most sinful player
The redemption for my past
Turned your smile into rust
A child is drowned within
Entombed in a pool of tears
A grownup is buried alive
And lives a life that's full of nightmares
A victim's always innocent
A murderer is sleepless
All my tears are pushing me
To the loss of empathy
I delegate my weaknesses to you
And carve a hymn to tyranny
With nails that go deep inside your chest
I wish you all the best
2. Poisonous Flowers of Violence
Poisonous flowers of violence
Grow and prosper everywhere
No prophets left to see the crime
No one feels the pain done
Like a mountain stream
Мiolence devours the stone
Inglorious powers burn the crown
They meanly crash the roots
I will never forget your boots
On my face
I grow a tree out of the blackest seeds
I water it with violent deeds
And when I harvest all the thoughts
I turn them into bloody spots
My tree springs up of all the dark
I cherish it with silent notes
And then, I harvest all its fruits
My needs are never satisfied
3. Dead Heart Confession
I always see the face of death
Its shadows cover every inch of this vomitous place
I always fill the emptiness
That's left when someone dies in agony
I feel no pain — my heart is cold
The everlasting flame is dead
But I believe that you can save me
Save me and then forsake me
Bury your god, bury your blood
Bury your soul, bury yourself
I always face the worst of plagues
My life is like a TV screen
The prime time is fulfilled with filth
So is the rest broadcast
And even when I sleep
I see these hideous crimes
They never make me calm
I feel like mesmerized
No longer I believe that all my past was bright
So is the vision of the present
I have an urgent need to tell the truth, so I confess
The stress is forcing me to feel the guilty pleasure
To feel the pleasure caused by death
There is no need to make a crime, I only have to gaze
I have to gaze and recognize new ways atrocity is made
Forsake me
4. Shelter
(
Instrumental
)
Cursed shall be the fruit of your body
And the fruit of your mind
The wealth of your spirit
And the strength of your will
Blessed shall be the fruit of your despair
And the fruit of your dismay
The wealth of your insanity
And the strength of your demise
“Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.”
The words of the fourth song are a reworked quotation from the Book of Deuteronomy, which is the fifth book of the Christian Old Testament. The Western European culture is based on Christianity and inherits its dualism with all the corresponding issues. Dividing this world into good and bad prevents us from understanding the complexity of things.
5. No Cure for Pain
When I heal a new soul
The emptiness smiles to me
The darkness shines blindly
My eyes bleed
And then I ask myself
What is relief?
How can it save us
in this cruel epoch?
Relax — breathe deep
Stay strong and weep
Be calm and seek
You are not weak
I gift relief to every soul I cure
The pain is reduced but wounds are never healed
They bleed and bleed to leave me dry
The walls are cracked, so demons are unleashed.
The plague of city lights, and nights, and cars is crushing us
We are all doomed by the last friction of our fathers
The nightmare is revealed, it’s burning us to dust
We are condemned by the last scream of our mothers
Distant peaks and deforested planes will never forget the treason
We're digging our own graves for multiple reasons
Dirty streams and littered lanes will never forsake misdoings
There is no reason to forgive us for everything we are doing now
Ancient beliefs bring us some rest
Digging a grave saves us from stress
This noisy space begets me
But I don’t want to be here
What cure do I need?
What did I get indeed?

6. Surfaces and Depths
The sins of fathers burden us
we come from water, then go to dust
And when we die, the legacy
Burdens those ones willing to see
Starve! Do we deserve
this attitude that burns us whole?
Cry! Do we observe
Our sanity's tremendous fall
We are all doomed, so is your prayer
The wicked thoughts — the darkest share
See what is done behind your pleasure
You'll never get the final treasure
Starve! Do we deserve
this attitude that burns us whole?
Cry! Do we observe
Our sanity's tremendous fall
Low, we sink
High, we fly
Every time
We fail
7. Uncanny Delusions
Silent reflections start to shout
shadows live their own lives
they move across and go beyond
onward the slow oblivion
Northern winds won't bring relief
western deserts don't let breathe
eastern stars no longer lead
Southern swamps in mourning bleed
Permanent pleasures are denied
Useless treasures — not a reason to fight
Unbearable burdens tore you apart
Unpleasantly down and never upward
Triple suns produce less light
their warmth cannot ignite
melted minds coexist
in one body they resist
Never apart
Never united
Always ignored
Forever oppressed
Never apart
Never united
Always ignored
Forsaken and stressed
Dissected into three, they breathe
And like a tree
There is one root, and independent branches
They live their lives despite all tensions
Like three dimensions, they exist
Under the thinnest domes
The multiverse is their execution
The global cataclysm destroyed the worlds
And it will never be forgotten
Despite the treatment
Our hero is condemned
Turn apart, he never knows
What world is real
But is there a real world?
How can we understand?
The cell is split into three
The triple self in agony
Is lost and never rests
The same are muscles, bones, and kin
It never knows that it has been
Forgotten and always crashed
In the dimension with no borders
It doesn’t see the normal order
Of things around and deep within
Input conditions were not light
With social laws as burdens
Which are blindly
Disfiguring the newborn mind
