All that I see
Is a nameless world
Endless drifting land
and roots
Returning without me
Returning to the dawn

All That I See
06:03
|
|||
|
All that I see
is the will of the little boy
to walk and move alone
Waterfall not yet fallen
hunger not yet to be devoured
What am I escaping for,
if only I look down?
What am I escaping for,
if a curtain covers my eyes?
All that I see
is a dressed in silk mental laziness
chasing shadows
of unconditioned and inherited neediness
All that I feel
is the piece of beginning anger
that’s being proclaimed
What am I escaping for,
if I only look down?
What am I escaping for,
if a curtain covers my eyes?
What am I escaping for,
if I only look down?
What am I escaping for?
The hidden cries behind lost reasons
What do you want?
What should I do?
If you were me,
if I were you
What would you do?
I’m not you
What do you want?
Angels that never flew
The Fool, the Wise, the Blissful
Focus her feared vision of world
Money won’t guide you to happiness
but it may buy you prozak
I’m choking and dying to break the world
I’m starting to escape from this world
It’s mine

Escape
05:17
|

|
Like a young fig tree
you were on the cliffs
But we must leave this place,
there's nothing but disgrace
Today, we’ll cross the sea
The child, the sun, the rose
eternally beleaguered by the night,
counting the passing bites
They boarded and carried on…
I run away from what is hunting me
Tears are pushing me away
It's easy to stay away
Not to break free and remain
Tomorrow I'll be no more
someone will dissapear
The impenetrable distance
Of your drowning heart
Like a young fig tree
you were, on the cliffs
But we must leave this place,
there's nothing but disgrace
Today, we’ll cross the sea
I run away from what is hunting me,
on the cliffs
But we must leave this place,
there's nothing but disgrace
Today, we’ll cross the sea
Tears are dropping on the storm
Gunpowder shakes my teeth
Until they want to escape
as the boat creeps,
in the infamous ocean
they're lying motionless
with no heartbeat,
no heartbeat
I blinked once,
I could not think
Could not react, there's no return,
there's no way back
I blinked twice,
and saw my brother
fall into
the eternal escape

The Island
06:25
|
|||
|
In this strange place where I am,
now captured and shackled I am
I’ve been forced to declare my past,
my whys and injustices
And now I have to swear,
to the gods of the Aoidos
Flesh covered the bone
I run away from the meanest,
to be able to sweat the blood
And when it’s dried on my plain view,
there was no more blindness
the smell of a charred kindness
While we will always become fool
on the subterranean moon
Nothing but uneasiness,
our soul, our skin
Flesh covered bone
And sometimes a man inside
But sometimes,
just sometimes, a soul inside
Sometimes I wept for the ignorance of man
I hear even the giggle of
the lady, her dark blue side
Nobody looks at each other
but still they look in the other one’s bed
Will you cease to boast about being right?
Will your dumb mouth ever stop holding
all your cries?
While we will always become fool
on the subterranean moon
I have been forced to renounce
to my soul, my skin
Flesh covered bone
And sometimes a man inside
But sometimes,
just sometimes, a soul inside
Flesh covered bone
And sometimes a brain inside
But sometimes,
just sometimes, a man inside

Seth

Seth’s walking again
In the silence of his thoughts
easily fall and start to cry
looking up and shouting to the sky
For the velvet he always gets
one of the never ending roulettes
He says...
"You walk, you complain
never grew up, never thrived, never thought,
never gave your hand to the fallen
Just shut up and smiled
let the future pass,
if you like you can wait"
He never smiles - Let it go
Never revives - Turn around
Apologizes - Face it
There’s a morning,
there’s a night
New day complying
for the light
He says…
Free of rust they escaped from the truth
"You walk, you complain
never grew up, never thrived, never thought,
never gave your hand to the fallen
Just shut up and smiled
I Ignored if anyone was listening
But then I felt calm with yourself"
Dig into my soul
Blackness in my code
Seth’s waiting again
Murmur words of death’s stench
Strangles, apologizes
for accepting the lie
Never felt relieved beyond
this shade of mine
There’s a morning,
there’s a night
New day complying
for the light
Dig into my soul, and accept our lie
Blackness in my code, once we’ve poured inside
Into my soul, accepting a lie
You will know,
I’m ready to die
Man who has poured inside
Ignorance of the past
Stench of the death
In his words,
sounds like a poetic sunset
While those who fall under
a new real speech
they’ve made in silence
We prefer to crush and strangle
our bones to spit out the doubt
Those names that fall into
the hole of the non-forgiveness
to tell you that
I’m ready to die

Sunstrings

|

Until I become a poem,
I drew a bowl of contained women sighs
There you were looking for crumbs,
amongst the contempt and the hate of Masters.
There, you devour to get fed
and you resolved to flatter me
From that sincere look he was born
Your glaring desire showed to me
In the memory cycle, the music of our throats
And without clothing our feelings
warped the sunset breath
Helplessly as diamonds in mine
Now, convicts of a fatuous fate
Yesterday, dreams that made hesitate
To the lord of the centuries
Centuries…
Fires run through my body,
the pain of loving you
Pain runs through my body
with the fires of my love for you
For you

New Dawn
06:21
|
|||
|
Now I wake up
The story takes us all as characters
I squirm beetwen the dirty blankets
While I fix my gaze upon that naked wall
The day becomes nothing and I’m…
Her Old Friend
I gave her another fifteen minutes
Those who’ve gone pray to the gods
for my sadness
Now I wake up purified
And nothing has been resolved
Something is wrong beside me
Something beside the dawn
Agony, always agony as the poet said
I was thinking in that when I…
I killed the silence
Cut up the layers of my heart
To face the sun
Is this permanent peace of life
Is this permanent peace of death
If everyone shudders
when you show your right hand
If everyone shudders
when I see your approach
I sign this song for you
For you
Now I wake up
Now I’m purified
Something is wrong beside me
Something beside the dawn
I walk, I smile, I talk
That seems to be real
Do not forget the whore
The worm in the apple
The game now is done
The sidewalk rose
The betrayal
Our prison
The suicide of our love

Danaides
05:10
|
|||
|
I can’t hardly breath
I can’t barely cry
I don’t want to feel your touch
When you love so scared
You loose your sight
In this drama scene you watch
As a Danaide, I am the river
Tired of the paleness
That brings the tears to my eyes
From time to time,
will the discouraged return
From time to time,
will the good father return
From time to time,
waiting for the fervent hands,
From time to time,
I see the red stained sunset
Over me
On the folds of my body,
I’m falling exhausted,
no more, I will never abide
Not as eternal as the rowing,
Is the choking of a future
In which he’ll always rivet the knife
From time to time,
will the discouraged return
From time to time,
will the good father return
From time to time,
waiting for the fervent hands,
From time to time,
waiting for the red stained sunset
I sign this letter, sister
and keep it in my clothes
I sign this letter, sister
I give you what I love the most
From one word to another
I will deny him the fatigue
and I shall wander
without tenderness,
no man's land

Dagger
06:29
|
|||
|
In the white night of the deceitful season
the fifty have made a pact…
Too soon death lifted in flight
Too soon the dawn will break
The vast funds of time,
of the distance
Their drama: to separate
out of me, on you I can rely
Who will endlessly cry,
cry for your bloody hands?
Too soon the dagger was nailed
Too soon you’re surrounded with earth
The moon is watching him
never shall he cease to embrace
Too soon death lifted in flight
Too soon the dawn will break
the vast funds of time,
of distance (get smoothed and forget)
Their drama: to separate
You are next to the human
pleasure of lying
Looking at the stiffness of your
present body, the life you left behind
Blacken your soul
My eyes want to see

The Swan
07:33
|
|||
|
Mother, where’s your lap?
When did these thoughts became my words?
When I go down,
when I’m baring my soul
I fall asleep
You stop to breath
I Laughed at the shame
Today I saw that the sun is high
Even the swan dies in spring
Turning aside in the stream
Death on Sunday,
Sunday morning and there he was floating
Death on Sunday
Sunday morning, and there he was
Floating
He saw the light today
He drowned on the lake
and he became remains
Not another soul who dared his thoughts
Even the swan dies in spring
Turning aside in the stream

Scales
04:05
|
|||
|
Fell the swans, fell the princesses
And now the king, must be judged
He shown bleeding knees and feathers
Extended his arms, and deeply he sighed
The cold knife quickly whistled and echoed
Little by little, they hammered the bone
To the dark river
He will be condemned
He extracted and placed the sacred one
in the scales, blood was splattered
Will he displace the true feather?
with shivers began the statement
"I have committed the iniquity
I am aware of the betrayal”
I have committed to many sins with humanity
I lied instead of telling the truth
I killed some of my relatives
and therefore I’m aware
of the betrayal

The Wanderer
08:04
|
|||
|
I sorely explain to you my story
I walked for a hundred years in the wilderness
And today there is only sand in my veins,
I'll try to explain to you my tale
Eternally I will rest in this dune in the stillness
Our soul claims the name
That everything that happened –this tough chain–
could never happen otherwise
So you will never run away from your brain
So you will never run away from the flesh
So you will never run away from the dawn
Now, let me fall, just release, let me rest
Blood and more blood scattered over the deserts
I lost my breath, I heard whispers in my soul
I've paid my crimes and circumstances
I thought I could escape the human defect
And its laws and its lies,
its fears and atrocities
My ashamed laments,
its ashamed laments
the glory is our first and our last rival
and are braced by us
You will never run away from the dawn
If I could lose my hunger,
maybe I could lose my desire
I killed for the heat,
right now I'm dying ‘cause I’m freezing
I'm starting to escape from
this world

I like the fact that this guy is not in “omg I love djent so much I’ll only let *that* express in my songs” mode. With his friends he crafts thoughtful and diverse songs which can be either playful or touching.
