lyrics

i have forseen a black entity swirling around.
unsettling sensations emanating from the ground.
a chalice for the damned, a sacred relic from the beast.
the stench of damnation flows within my reach.

what is this voice for i cannot see ?
who might you be and what do you want from me ?
i feel it's grasp getting tighter and tighter until i collapse.
i feel no longer.

"I AM THE ONE YOU SEEK"

the voice emerges as the shadow of a man who's lifeless eyes
are far too black to see.
he asked me
"how do you think you are supposed to understand
when all you see is not what you should perceive ? "

how do you live your life through hell?
how do you bring yourself to believe that all you did
was not a pointless apparition in a world led to extinction
that was never meant to be at all ?

i'm scared of dying can't you tell ?
i've seen the life of those i loved and lost become an unexisting void that cannot be replaced.
what can i do for things to change ?

"realize that death is part of life.
all you have been given will be taken away.
recognize your fleeting place within a dying race.
forget your fears, and forgive your fate. "

"Spare your life to die alive."

Conversing with this unworldly projection
sensation quite peculiar, a feeling so familliar.
pulsations peeking higher and higher.
my face appears before me; all my thoughts come to naught.

"WE ARE ONE. WE ARE THE FEARS YOU'VE KEPT FOR SO LONG.
to walk this earth is to know that you'll be gone.
accepting the trials despite of it all.
to walk this earth is to know that you'll be gone realizing that there's nothing gained after all."

a moment of clarity flashes back into me.
was it all a dream or did it really speak to me?
am i supposed to understand what these visions we're meant to be?
am i the one in control of my own apathy ?

i seek the one to be
my thought converges as i try to understand how the path i chose came about to be.
how do you think i am supposed to be a man when all i am is not who i want to be.

my mind is a prison and all i have is time.
i never wanted this , to leave it all behind.

i can't stay like this, i can't continue being a lifeless mist.
i tried to leave myself behind and start anew.
i tried to crave for a life i thought would make me bloom.

i spared my life, to die alive a thousand times.
weighting the burden that followed down the line,
to know yourself is all you need to be true; conversations changing your point of view.

i understand now how the way i think affects my life,
i asked myself in the midst of the night.
in front of the glass, i'll try not to lie, do i accept to die ?
