This is where all flesh is words

From the Mist

So close this gloom that scares
Our lives away


Pale faces mourn upon me
Their pain I’m dying to steal
While silver frost wraps me tight
Nothing to feel, my mouth is sealed
A bleeding grave drowns in a sea

[Grunts:]
Deeper and deeper
Where the ocean burns
And the waters are red


In emerald mountains their hymns
Praise a beauty long forsaken
Building bridges to an unknown sky

A boat is coming from the mist
I can’t hear them now
The tide has come inshore
To wash their voices away
It heralds only to perish life

Cold rain starts to fall
But no clouds in this grey sky
Raindrops feel like tears

As I leave everything that’s warm
Trust those whispers in the wind
And as I walk on this bridge of yours
Try not to keep me prisoner in stone tomb

So close this gloom that scares
Our lives away

23:47

(former title: That Which Will Never Be Frozen)

Swansong emerged trembling from a deep well
As it’s left behind to watch seasons pass by

[Female Screams:]
All I remember
Is lying eyes
Devoid


And spirits of Furies
Scream their fallacious temptation
In their comforting arms
They smother and take me closer
To the gates of obscurity

Most bloodred words have become a sea
These mirror waters call to be one with myself
Inside to dissolve, forever frozen to be

[Mezzo-soprano:]
An elegian morning will break
The shadows of my aesthesia


This madness is no longer restrained
And spirits of screaming Furies
Threaten with their smokey claws
Erelong they will evanesce
Not as their scars left on skin

[Screams:]
Scream and walk
Only a few steps
Away from cradle
Where hearts rest

Why has the sand in my hourglass stopped falling?
My sun dial has declined, it seems so
That which would never be frozen

[Operatic vocals and grunts:]
Gather in me storm!
Return to me sun!
Come back sanity!
Leave me without caress

These Wasted Seasons

To disobey, to surpass those boundaries
One more time to fool my notions

Clarify me, free of self-deceit

Illuminate this darkest side of me
Failed to become what I could be
In the essence of all life
I’m caught in between
[Soprano and screams:]
Sophisticated and futile

To wade in mediocrity and self absorption
So many lights devoured in the ocean of my sorrow
Where you, my lonely night, are

[Soprano A capella:]
These mirror eyes
Reflecting day’s vanity
In bitter tears


Alius Artus
Can it break the circle?
I wish I knew all the truth
Out of my distressing contemplations

[Clear vocals and grunts:]
Help me overtake this empty body
To retrieve a pure piece I lost
Lost in the attempt to escape from this vain world

Divine Guardian

My God, creator of our fragile home
Have our actions caused your rage?
Is this why mothers cry?
Is this why million people die?

Soprano:
For you we spill our blood?


Grunts:
To serve you they hide and burn the truth
To please you, demons will drink wine and bread

Crown of clouds won’t make me fear
With a breath you can make me disappear
I won’t believe your salving theories, henceforth

Clear vocals and Grunts:
I cannot willingly blind my comprehension

Why do the young ones suffer?
Why don’t sinners pay?
Is this a throne among angels?
Is this why we have no choice?

Grunts:
For your kingdom people will condemn the saints
For what you offer companions kill a holding hand
We wait for the dawn that shall never come

Choir:
Delusions of faith
Empire in a rotten day


Soprano:
My heart cannot bare this misery, no more


Choir:
Are we damned to hope?
Are we forgotten by the lord?
Is this how its supposed to be?
What’s gone wrong and where is their grief?


Among your holy slaves, I know I’m a liar
For isn’t Devil a servant of thee?
We are left alone with shallow faith

Incedo Angelorum (Prelude)

Baritone:
March of Angels

Choir:
Reveal the hour
Of the Black Sun
Evoken spirits embrace the call
Where waters reflect despair
Bridges of Time are forcing life
To form another painful circle

Soprano lyrico:
O life, how close you are to death

Soprano dramatico:
Bell, toll!
For the falling leaves
Of humanity
