Convulsion
This door won’t let me out
This bed won’t keep me warm
Untie my bonds and you’ll see
I’m in control…
Every breath is dying
Can you hear me now?
What I need is unknown to me
And no more this…
Pain, dear friend from the past
So glad you’re here again
Some people are used to you
Some others might fall
Take a look around you
Before the final call
Alibi is for the weak
Gather up your strength
Puerile ignorance is mirrored
In your childhood fears
Puerile ignorance is mirrored
In the deepest of your sins
No one defines me
The thorn in your side
It has all begun
Convulsions eat your sanity
No one defines you
The thorn in my side
It has all begun
Convulsions break my mind
All the bridges I built
Now they fall to the ground
Each one is my scattered soul
The days I spent to find you
When my eyes blink
World is changing beneath my feet
With a sound, so quiet
…As a single stone
Look at me and realize
How this life counts
When all the rest are gone
There’s no worst Death
Than the Death of Hope
Do you see God? Is it only yourself?
For the Night Has Fallen
There are 1000 ways to get lost
… In your own mind
There are even more
… To find your way back
But not this night
Need is stronger than will
Lost in the city lights
A cold November night
Crave on your knees
Tomorrow you’ll be dust
Fear is poison
So contagious…
Through my eyes
Your body… dismembered
Dim like a winter’s dawn
Pale like the day you were born
The blood should be
… In her body
But why…
Is it all over me?
Crave on my knees
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
Fear is poison
So contagious…
Inside my head
Enormous void floats
“Ghosts looking for you
In the dark
You can’t see us
But… We can (see you)
To be chased
By your mistakes
Is a fate…
Worse than death
The hunter of your past
Is here for you again
Don’t bother…
There’s no escape
Your innocence is lost
Forever in this moment”
There 1000 ways for you
To die in my mind
Even if you’re dead
I will still kill you
But not this night
Sanity is stronger than need
Fear is poison
So contagious…
Be brave before
This Gloom stands still
Don’t mourn for me Brother
For I have sinned to Death…
My Cure Is Your Disease
I’m a parasite
I live from your pain
When I come back
You become less
Every time I return
You become… shade of yourself
People who live their lives
Without meaning
Like a puzzle
With a missing piece
I’m the leech
On your body
To stab a friend in the back
A road unknown in your map
Many nights when sleep was absent
I found a strange truth:
“There’s no friend to be stabbed
And the road is… clear now!”
I’m the leech
On your body
A perfect haven
For this hideous existence
I’m a parasite
I live for your pain
Everyone has its path to walk
Sometimes they entwine
But when I come back
You become less…
Obsessive Dilemma
How do they wake up?
With a whisper, a scream or an inner pain?
Buried for so long in the holes of my mind
Access denied…
Myself and I
Destined to make each other miserable
It’s Me or Me… An endless circle…
Where I end… I begin…
Try to recall my oldest memory
Where am I?
Time is a river
Try to recall my oldest memory
Time is a river
So bear my soul
Where am I?
Myself and I
Destined to make each other miserable
It’s Me or Me… An endless circle…
Where I end… I begin…
Aletheia
Truth, such a burden
Nevertheless we have to carry it
The die is cast
A storm is on its way
Abandoned in time
Swallowed by this vortex
… Of lies and deceit
Frailty in every move
Heavier are the deeds
Engraved in our hearts
Exhale the dirty smoke
Stuck in your jaded lungs
The book of life
Filled with empty words
But we can still read it!
Defy the vows
Bond you to the other side
Everyone has its path to walk
Sometimes they entwine
And we flow together like water…
The secret revealed
Redemption lost
Truth splinters everything
If I go first
I’ll wait for you there
On the other side…
… Of the dark waters
You’ve always been…
The sun in my days
The torch through the nights
The nerves in my brain
Nebula of my skies
The fire in my life
And this is forever!
Here's to Death
“Fucking Human Race
Your time is up
What did you think?
This is the revenge of the Unseen”
Pray to your God
Βedtime story ghost
But until the end
You realize…
There’s only one God
And is called Death
Let’s raise our cups
Who’s next?
He’s coming for everyone
So why should I cry for it?
Our existence ends
Pray to your God
A bedtime story ghost
But until the end
You realize…
There’s only one God
And is called Death
Let’s raise our cups
Who’s next?
He’s the Great Observer
We are the authors of
Our destiny but…
He writes the Epilogue
Ephemeral joy
All the others will give you
Everlasting downfall
His lethal lust
“Fucking Human Beings
Die in anguish
Racist scams vanish
Like never existed”
