I'm lost I'm lost The dark waves of perdition Wash away this blood All the torment, carried by the condemnation Was weighted down on me I'm lost I'm lost In the sea with only one destination Bury my soul Bury my mistakes Bury my soul Bury my cold heart next to them

Playground is set for the ones to fade away Without hope they crawl into their holes This ruptured soil is all too fragile To cover so they will suffer Knock, knock, knock! The reaper is at the door Disguised in mortal form, or just an ordinary psycho One moment smiling faces everywhere Next moment is about to be in history The horror begins Nightmare in dreams Where the fuck is your God now? Let them die Inside my mind there is no place to comprehend this bitterness of yours It's not sane just blood in vain Is this your way to save them from this morbid world? Being the reaper, collect the bones Who are you to decide? Their story, their lives Taken away by you My only question is why? The candles were smothered by vitriol I'm too blind to see From behind this anger rising You are nothing but dust to me And to dust you shall return I can see only maggots crawling on the ground Rotten maggots made of human flesh This knife will set you free The overwhelming urge inside of me Have I lost my control? The blood of the innocent stained your shadow The caskets were buried deep in the cemetery of your crimes Flood of tears bruised by sorrow Drowns every mourning soul There is no way out for them The cold embrace strengthens the pain

Laughter fills the air While I’m wondering in the depths of my mind Thinking of yesterday, dreaming of tomorrow Journey rose-colored Path filled with venomous thorns I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness As I place it on your finger I commit my heart and soul to you False promises, artificial smiles, vow of deceit It can’t continue like this no more Can this impurity be washed away? Contaminated by the self-conceit Decayed and frozen from the inside This is my lament to you Sky is weeping for your sins Acid rain burns the soil beneath my feet To an unstable surface Our union has fallen Severed from its roots Confronting the paradox Ease the pain or be bitter till the end of time No more lying or uncovered statements This is the beginning of new era This bitterness of mine Will silence the agonizing voices in my head Thinking of remedy Compounding the mixture Solution see-trough A medley of your lies Perfect chance to get things even Or am I wrong? For years our travel was so serene Now we are million miles away Under the beams of moonlight My hatred is yet to come undone These things you have done to me Things you promised to cherish Are so worthless now So I don’t really care Wrath of the betrayed is evil and menace It will crush the wings of the deceiver Lost in oblivion Fear not to seek Searching signs which cannot be reached Confusion and nausea Venom of deadly nightshade Under the poisoned sky I lay down here to rest To a sacred ground I bury my past behind This pain is all too real Was it really me? Burden is no longer here to be carried Murder a choice of a desperate man

According to a basic principle of social influence Bystanders monitor the reactions of other people In an emergency situation to see If others think that it is necessary to intervene Lying on the ground not moving Bystanders watching Group of silent ones standing still Watching her life taken away Multiple stabwounds No one to care At the edge of the abyss At the beginning of the end She’s barely conscious Her wounds bleed furiously Eyes shut, ears plugged they stare No one to blow the whistle Like a cold rat she’s left on the sidewalk Blinded by the mass Frozen by the responsibility Bystanders watching She’s done with her duty Altruism does not exist, it’s a lie Fear of isolation Out of sight, easily forgotten Bunch of fuckers let her die No one didn’t rock the boat, oh why? Thirty-eight witnesses didn’t see anything? Not on my neighbourhood Not on my backyard, fuck no! I am innocent No one raindrop thinks it caused the flood This debt is everlasting We have to promote her legacy

In the way of poison the leeches spread under his skin Its now too late for vaccine, the defense has failed In the way of pouring rain the seeds give their growth The black clouds make their roots grow even stronger On the top of that mountain you sense the vultures wreathing your guilt The forgotten are here to ensure your collapse The fear is what wraps around your shallow mind irreversibly The struggle already lost defines you now And the wounds chain you inside the wrath In the mirror you see, there’s only you At the centre of your thoughts, there’s only you You're breaking the hand that feeds you for the very last time Envenom the ties you used to cherish Omission speaks volumes of these consequences yet to breathe air So inhale the pain if you no longer feel Reflect yourself, the time has a grasp on your frailty You're swelling from the inside Your body can't withstand the pressure Walk down the path that leads you astray On the brink of isolation you descend Those hollow promises pull you deeper below Deliverance is no option Is this what you sought for? Is this what you solicited? Replaced your heart with a black stone Your journey destined to desolation

One thousand lies carved to these walls A riddle called life is soon to be solved This humankind will never retrace the reason This room, the space that haunts me Whispers the cries that make me bleed The eerie voices of rainy season Destruction yearns for this place Its gentle touch sweeps the surface Afraid of life you pray for extinction Walk this empty planet and see it through my eyes Without words I speak Can you sense the atmosphere? Drown in empty glance and feel the story Don't give me the answers I already know the truth Forever insane inside six walls Signs of my collapsing mind A man's figure in the dark corner Singing its psychedelic lullaby The room begins to shatter The stroking man believes his matter Incapable of reconstruction Terrorize the remains Circled by the laughing faces Your chance to crush the final wall Breathe their toxins Breed your madness Crown yourself and bring it to a close Seal your isolation The solitude maintains my sanity Awareness of the outworld breaks it down The colours of my days are so dark On the wall I paint this nation burning down And cast my shadow over those flames This view takes my breath away The plaque of this earth has cremated And the world is beautiful again
