Drawn 05:28
Within these walls their lies abide Dreams are denied Our will remains unheard We are all meant to be the same Imitators of the archetype Unaware of better life Blackened is the way out Blackened is the way out Drawn into endless night Drawn into the open pyre of light Into the open sea Drawn unwillingly A broken line of notion Overshadowing the days A one-way avail In the emptiness of sense
we are drawn into the fraud
Within the power grids We are all meant to be Imitators of the archetype Imitating time and again Within these walls their lies abide Dreams are denied Blackened is the way out Blackened is the way out Blackened is the way

The Pyre 06:20
Smoldering grass Noxious fumes Smoke smothers the city Trying to hold my breath The vapor hurts in the lungs Exhaling causes vertigo At the scenery of the end of days I stare at the haunt of oblivion Vacant spheres filled with smoke Buildings burn as far I can see I run forth behind thought Rush and run The city is burning down and absolutely nothing is left I watch this play of agony Incapable to play my role The echoing walls inhale The smoke-stained stench of our grave Within the pyre we become undone "The towers ablaze As the circle completes The days had a limit Ignite the barren souls Before they comprehend The pyre burns tonight A force overwhelming Crushes the cattle There was no warning As the drug deafens Before it fades The plot comes to its end" The daze lapsed in my head A withering while Realization of concealing At the scenery of the end of days I stared at the haunt of oblivion Now I am awake watching outside It is grey As grey as it used to be In the dream my city was burning down and absolutely nothing was left I watched this play of agony In the dream

What is in the air? Is it our submission? Visualize the world By all the things you've heard Let us go Let us go to another day Let the sun Let the sun light our day Continuous run Let me go Let me go Another day Let the moon Let the moon guide my way Away It began to feel like this city is just a bunch of lies And these people are not what I want Over the hills To the landscape of my soul Let me go Let me go today Let this dream Let this dream be my guide I've visualized

Crushed 05:24
Rusty and grey, lights decay Derelict houses are rampant Smog covers the air as a pall Stagnation in front of us all Atmosphere of fear Visibly subordinate mass No resistance at all Just people obeying their call Notably vague vision In the eyes of the folk Was I the same before the realization Praise reign Woe as our mandatory load Leads into alienation The barren souls are crushed into the ground Their dreams were never true Atmosphere of fear Visibly subordinate mass Constantly observed area I must flee from here Rusty and grey is the new day In the eyes of the folk Was I the same before A travesty of man Our dreams were never true They were never true

I made my choice I could not stay At the red sun's dawn I'm on my way Creeping the silent streets Watching out not to tread In the revealing red Through the morning haze Searching my way out of this maze The shimmer is not so gray Behind this alleyway I am out The day I thought I'd never see My veins are filled with liberty I pierce the system of greed Redeem my pain with this deed Sensations arising from novelty The steel transforming into lea The menacing shadow throbs internally Away from oppression Leap into the wild Cut loose Onward Off benighted sleep Cut loose Onward Off living benighted Mountains loom Spreading across my eyes I can see the red sun rise
7.
Unlearn 05:03
No restrictions Unmade roads leading nowhere That's what I want To break the shackles and forget them No one around to tell me where I belong This independence is making me stronger A sea of trees Surrounds me Gone for good Building up my sanity By unlearning Renewed for good Learning to live By unlearning Resurrected from absence Reborn on the run Arisen from the mist Cherished by the sun How can a single thought of bliss Redeem my time in the abyss Resurrected from absence Reborn on the run Arisen from the mist of fear-saturated sun How can a single deed Give me all I need Unlearning to give my life away

A storm There's a storm at the river I gaze at it from afar Its rumble awakened me A shadow in my mind was something I left behind The misty miles of mine I roamed I took a step in the dark Beside your ghost Into the night Watching the storm Thundering over the land Feel my insignificance Just a grain of sand

Rainfall 08:29
As I faced the opening grove anew I decided to halt for the time was due Dusk soon covered the darkening world Replacing the light with the colours of the night Reality descends as the skies rain on me I'm drenched by the heavens' pouring black sea Trying to snuggle within the warmth inside But the coldness of the world devours me Into its custody Forlorn are the lights on the way... The deep blue shades of rain In the lonely hours' domain Colour the scenery With paints of darkening tone I tried to mute the noise of the world As I felt it was too loud for a captive of the crowd But even here I can't help but feel the weakness of my state A lonely path to tread with no destination ahead Time is just a notion hiding its worth I'm counting the hours by the hum of the earth Few are the thoughts without any pain Drowning to sleep to the deep shades of rain Into its custody Forlorn are the lights on the way... Forlorn lights slumber The shades of the rain dye the view in blue The shades of the rain drown the lights to sleep
10.
Foaming Ocean Endless Horizon Astir in the light of the dawn I woke up lost On a shimmering shoreline Not where I'd laid my head at night At the end of the road Never lies another day to be astray How did I end up in here out of nowhere? No sign of the dark, no recall A distinct feel of being home Arose with the morning sun Why wouldn't I stay if I feel I belong? On a journey worth a lifetime abroad By the wavy sea Misty roads are behind me A sublime privilege to be On these shores of liberty But one more time I turned to see The world I have left behind me Without words staring aghast The smoke rising behind the vast
