Tonight I watch the stars falling,
the autumn leaves that burn and die.
This wind eternal feeds the fire of anger.
We all lost the battle,
on our way to the void.
The seed creeps, and spreads like infection.
We can no longer see,
we can no longer realize
how the shadows feed on our light.
The ancient blood of the Earth,
seethes and exhales in the infinite cosmos.
How may the skies above stand by?
How may there not be an answer for us all?
For us all...
Hope silently fades,
slave to this deadly fate.
(When the pillars come down)
We did not want all this.
...then, will be there another dawn?
Stoned, numb,
on the brink of the end.
There we stand,
and before us
we silently watch them fall...
The ancient seed of the Earth,
seethes and exhales in the infinity of cosmos.
How can we stand there and watch?
How can we let it come?
Hope silently fades,
slave to this deadly fate.
(When the pillars come down)
We did not want all this.
...then, will be there another dawn?
Will be there another dawn?

Surrounded by the ghosts all around you,
when reality loses consistency,
you fall into an insane and sick place,
that leads you to madness.
Memories that rise from your dark past
don't let you exhale your breath.
You feel like you are suffocating
behind a wall of illusions and fear,
for what is to come.
An irrational mind’s
ludicrous dominion,
that deletes your world,
smashes your certainties,
and leads you to oblivion.
Corrupted melodies inside my broken mind,
a fragile shell that slides under a wheel that grinds.
Corrupted melodies inside my broken mind,
a fragile shell that slides under a wheel that grinds.
Holding on to a tight rope,
it's like you’re feeling drowned
into a dense and black sea,
a cancerous grey smoke.
There is no way out
just the one that you can't say...
To leave your lone life in pain,
is it a burden you can face?
“Darkness all around me.
This monster is inside,
it keeps feeding on my deepest fears...
I feel it digging into my mind.
These thoughts... these endless flashes in my head.
It's... it's like an avalanche, they drag me down,
they bury me… they bury in my own prison,
and this reality slips away, second by second,
until… until I no longer belong to it,
until there is no more joy nor pain...
but only emptiness,
the absolute emptiness.”
Is this the end of my journey?
I just feel wrath and hate for myself.
It cannot be like that, a curse that never ends...
I just beg this is not my last farewell.
An irrational mind’s
ludicrous dominion,
that leads you to oblivion.
Holding on to a tight rope,
it's like you’re feeling drowned
into a dense and black sea,
a cancerous grey smoke.
There is no way out
just the one that you can't say...
To leave your lone life in pain,
is it a burden you can face?
Is it a burden you can face?

The Calling

Eternal snow covers the walls of these mountains.
Thousands of steps,
they separate us from those sorrowful days,
when we had to say forever goodbye.
Shadows of the past, a not forgotten grief.
The darkness combines with the stormy cold wind.
Step after step, you can hear the call...
That hollow-eyed creature awaits and beholds.
Once and for all,
heed the call of this storm.
Freezing your thoughts,
it shepherds your soul
through these mountains,
my haven, my new home.
Eternal snow caresses the landshapes,
as snowflakes reflect the last beams of the sunlight.
Eternal snow that turns off forever
the last dying spark of what once was my life.
Once and for all,
heed the call of this storm.
Freezing your thoughts,
it shepherds your soul
through these mountains,
my haven, my new home.
Here’s where I shall be reborn.
Winter be my home.
As the cold embraces my heart dying,
(stuck in those far memories)
in the snow, the creature's calling me.
(invoking my name)
A voice enchanting, so harmonious,
(surrounds me with soft melodies)
One last song sounds through the howling storm.
(the howling storm)
Black empty eyes stare me,
invite me to trust and to see,
to follow the path through the snow,
to walk on blades and thorns.
The hollow-eyed creature awaits.
Down on my knees,
I've nothing else to crave.
Eternal snow,
be the grave for my soul.
In the end, I’ll be heeding the call.
Once and for all,
I have answered the call
the storm then calmed down,
brought rays through the clouds
the creature turned back
and then walked away
leaving me here no longer astray
in my haven, my new home.

Consciences lost through ages.
an annihilated humanity.
Men have turned to beasts,
wrapped in poison and hatred.
Watch the old blood of the Earth,
purifying us all.
It falls and flows into the womb of creation.
Will we be able to drown in it?
And will we dare to start a new dawn?
Existence no longer matters to us,
and no one shall save our souls.
New gods shaping,
old faiths fading,
spirits from our ashen world.
This primordial and ancestral gift
no longer belongs to us,
we have lost our home.
Old ancient stories and creation myths
have sailed through the endless ages and seas.
Crimson waterfalls crash before us,
they purify our cancer, our vanity and lust.
We drown again
into this ancient blood’s abyss.
We drown again,
and then return to the surface,
to breath a new existence.
Watch the old blood of the Earth,
purifying us all.
It falls and flows into the womb of creation.
Will we be able to drown in it?
And will we dare to start a new dawn?
Existence no longer matters to us,
and no one shall save our souls.
New gods shaping,
old faiths fading,
spirits from our ashen world.
Hallowed be your name
great immense mother Earth,
eternal goddess,
pillars of the universe.
Holy be your name,
through eternity.
