B-side: Healed?

Response to Heal (Tactile Gemma)

Burn down the vines that restrict joy
The willow roots have gone too deep
Poison nourished its thorns
Crimson from the blood

I want to be healed for the sickness to come

Merciless and fearless the sand dessert
Engulfs every step towards life
That’s what’s left of me
Half as the ecliptic moon

The flesh reflects the torture of thirsty knifes
While the pain flows in my tears to the exit
Bloodred ground drain them
Screaming while corpses lay on it

The Last Initiation

[Male vocals:]
Never will the mountain sand
Taste the salty kiss of the sea
Never will the transparent clouds
Feel the embrace of the ground

[Grunts:]
Never will the storm hear the silence
Never did nature create such violence
Never should we disturb the balance
Never should we betray our alliance (?)

[Female vocals:]
Never again will I feel complete
Never again will I be missed
Nobody will ever make me believe
Nobody shall ever heal my wounds

[Screams:]
Never will I join their initiation rite
Never will I kneel to beliefs I deny
Never shall I compromise
No more!

[Soprano:]
No one must suffer in vain
No child must feel our pain
[Whispers:]
When did our sympathy drain?
