Obituary 09:43
Blindness betrays Shadows oozing lies Delusions dripping From their fangs Rot from their talons Dyskinesias unfold The horror, the panic Gaze turns, keeps on turning Narrow corridors Provide no shelter Thought of a new day Hand against the light A road away, an escape Abandoned dreams As a price, a sacrifice As in a shame I clothe myself Every morning I step inside To grow lesser Every morning To shrink away I crawl back Into the blue filth Of artificial light So dark lays A path away, farewell Rollback, all this Rollback, rollback

Thick dust has covered the dearest dreams Once verdant plains now a lifeless deserts Ancient winds blow a dissonant tune Ancient tears flow and form the oceans Blood red ash of burnt-out desire Descent all upon the frailest raptures Yet fires keep burning on the altars of denial Shameful deeds shine like a collapsing star Tranquil haven, forgotten shelter Now a dark lair where no life can grow Nameless beasts with blank, black eyes Are tearing the carcass of a courageous effort Watchtowers fail to stand guard Fortress misplaced to offer refuge Desolate warfare against solitude Turned to defeat and horrified retreat Vultures feast in abandoned cities Tearing the limbs of all that was beloved Unspeakable tragedies and utter failures An oppressive wind blows on the ruins of hope Did I knew what was lurking in the woods? Looking thought the years, into my eyes. Asking to turn around, to run away. From this. Desolation. Tranquil haven, one step further now. A day, a year. This is crushing me.

Lights off, eyes closed I dwell on A desolate throne A stray tear falls upon Blood-stained vomit I thought that I was moving But you just circled around me Drivel trickles down from my lips As I try to speak In the moonlit glade The shadows begin to gather Strength has failed Steps are getting shorter Eyes are dull by now And thoughts are growing thin I stay if you ask But I'm not here anymore I have given up all of hopes Replaced those with others Paths spiral further now Erode, collapse Like a shadow I circle myself Afraid to touch, to open the gates Fungus grows on my hands Moss covers my face At the bottom Of endless darkness Blood in my fingers I lick my wounds In the hour of confusion In the moments of weakness I think That lights are getting closer That life is still waiting

A slate too clean Life all drained Reality creeping in Disgrace unfolds Outlines appear Beasts begin their chase I’ve begun to think Of an explanation How to behold the mirrors Steps vanish Away into the grey At noon I yielded Delusion anchored Distant from life Reality torn Away from life

Watchfires 10:27
Waves against the cliffs Nights against the days Steps echoing through Like a machine breaking Gearwheel corrodes Breathing wanes away Life feels narrow Voyages futile The sun rises no more Golden crown trampled to dirt Eyes filled with azure wrath Wordless promise left unfulfilled Doors had been kept open Coldness crept over the threshold Today we search blindfolded We gather, try to breathe Watchfires burnt out Roads deserted, forgotten What I once knew I draw on the sand Others began to build a new fort For the new forces to reign I am afraid to move anymore To look, or to listen Just a thin veil of life Its folds tied in horror Sheathed under torment

Celebration 05:13
Utter disgrace In the limelight of loss Silent sigh From the shade of shame Horror howls In every dawn Newborn light Teares from night This rat race Is about to end Heart stops In the abysmal aisle Celebration
