Controlled, constricted and pressed
in a vanishing faith’s dark and morbid deception.
God has denied men, has wanted to repair his mistake.
For mercy, we are still here, alone.
When we shall be condemned,
I will drink the blood of sins I made
and thus I shall believe
in a new purity’s redemption.
Rescued from the punishment
and led through the light, could be?
Awaiting time when stars will fall
creating choirs of damned, blazing us all.
As I’ll fall, I won’t raise.
I shall drop with no return.
Hell doesn’t scare me, here’s misery.
Don’t be afraid, it will be worse then here:
ice, wind and solitude, perpetual echo sounds,
in a white misty valley
we’re going to be dying roots.
Suffocated by the conscience’s load,
none will be there to hold our hand.
No one shall scourge, no one shall heal.
A pure overall indifference.
Souls ceasing to exist,
no escape from an endless wasteland.
Rise! Wake up from illusions!
And I’ll give you the welcome to this real inferno.
We can only play this lawless match
in this cosmic and mechanic stage,
waiting for returning ash and dust,
in a moment losing all my trust.
Murdered sensations in a sea with no origin,
without any river to give a direction.
Did you believe, my friend, this was better
than gleams of your imagination?
Don’t be surprised if we’re only flesh
walking and lying without any difference.
We’ll be close to the end,
I will drink the blood of sins I made
and thus I shall believe
in a new purity’s confession.
Rescued from the punishment?
I’m led through the burning flames.
Awaiting one more total deluge
deleting all the sinners, erasing us all,
one by one.
As I’ll fall, I won’t raise.
I shall fall with no returning.
As I’ll fall, the twines will be broken.
I shall fall into a blacker ill darkness.
“…Et cum septem dies transissent,
diluvii aquae inundaverunt terram…”
Finis omnium.
Feremus crucem nostram,
in hiatum.
Here I fall.
Here I fall.
Friend of mine, what we have to do?
To fade away, to stop our shameful blood.
Someone save us all,
this void of silence can’t be held
Inside worms feeding on souls,
haze our minds, stole our control.
I’ll be wandering through deserts,
carrying hurts of all my burdens.
Just a gateway to worse places,
end was not what I had hoped.
(As I fall)
Disoriented and unsettled,
into feelingless dimensions,
I am paying for my errors.
There will be no saving chance.
As I fall.
As I fall.
