Calm sleep is a deceptive hell
For the souls that are covered with grey ash.
Hard hail pounds on the windows
And life draws destiny lines with a piece of chalk.
And so they go, for such is this deception:
To follow the tales into the mist.
One of them asked: “What for are going?
There is nothing but death in the mist!
The legends are made up by a cunning executioner,
And we shouldn’t trust a word!”
But everyone laughed at him:
“How can you be such a fool?
You’ve defamed that what is sacred to us!
Now go away and think a bit about what you’ve done”.
Screaming and wheezing,
Blood and poison,
Tree crowns are dancing around!
The beast is sly,
A this mist –
That is his horrible trap.
Do not run, do not beg –
Just make sure to die quick.
If only they knew that the exiled one was right…
He was walking alone in pitch-black
And he knew that the rest won’t come back
And back there, in the woods, in the murky mist
The trees are drowning in blood.
Sing, my sweet little nightingale,
Show the road for my loved one.
Heart is aching,
So let him be forever…

One formation after another marches
Under the bright light of a supernova
They march into a fight along with a howl
Of a siren. Under a new
Blackened helmet
Is a burning deformed
Endless paradise.
March of hundreds
Metal feet.
Industrial progress’s offspring
Is trampling the soil.
Above the mountains
New steel peaks
Now silently stand.
So where are you, justice?
Adding more grief and misery while pardoning the sins.
Where there’s heart tangled in wires
There’s no place for love, there is only fire!
Judgment day,
Lead no astray.
Clock’s ticking
Without skipping.
Do you remember
The very beginning?
For them the whole life
Was much too little.
Battle and gunfire in a broken castle
For their souls on an empty hard drive.
Stars will rush into the void,
Sun will become useless,
The world in a clutch of scientific progress
Bears no weight of its own.
It’s so simple – there’s no other side to this story:
Our Eden is in a cold castle
Burnt onto an empty hard drive.

In an old town there’s a small remote little house,
With its only window hammered shut.
Like a homeless man with their eyes closed,
It freezes in the night under a cold rain.
It keeps a dark secret from other people,
Bound by ghostly pale sorrow:
For many long years there’s a living person
Confined in its dark cellar.
Where are the bright rays of the stars
And their light that burns the skin?
What has been forgotten in this mess of a place,
Can’t you hear muffled screams are you’re passing by?
His mouth is distorted in a strange grimace,
His blind eyes are ever-wide open,
And a bitter drop of tears runs on his hollow cheek
Before dropping on a dust-covered floor.
Heart still beats in his withered body,
Lungs still fill his chest with damp air.
Silently he prays so that he falls asleep,
And that sleep is the one he won’t wake up from.
Where are the bright rays of the stars
And their light that burns the skin?
What has been forgotten in this mess of a place,
Can’t you hear muffled screams are you’re passing by?

You don’t remember, you don’t know,
You don’t see, you don’t cry,
A pale ghost, a bodiless spirit.
Night only brings delusion…
Our house has burnt down yesterday,
Only a wall still stands.
Nothing but a restless owl
Howls mad words into the night.
Moth. Devours. Your. World.
Burning fires fly away
In a land of white pillowy walls.
Guards are leaving their posts,
And with them I go away too.
I’ve done so much here,
Spilled my blood on dry sand.
A genius had undone himself for thinking too much,
So what is the point of him now?
Deep-black water’s flowing
Into a cup that’s knocked over.
Scavenger is always coming
For a corpse wasting away.
There are traps on your chest,
Awaiting for the final snowstorm,
All the while you’re disappearing,
Dissolving in the emptiness.
Moonlight is so capricious,
It dares me to break my oath!
But dusk crushes this
Midnight uprising.
A moment is lost again,
All attempts are now in vain.
A miracle didn’t save this vessel,
These icebergs are all around,
And this boat is just for me.
Deep-black water’s flowing
Into a cup that’s knocked over.
Scavenger is always coming
For a corpse wasting away.
There are traps on your chest,
Awaiting for the final snowstorm,
You disappear in this nothingness…

Cold rain pours down,
There’s a bottomless pit right outside my window.
It flies into the sky as we are leaving each other without saying goodbye.
Flap your wings, Angel, if you can hear me.
But this darkness around us is as devious as the serpent’s smile,
We’re in the land of living, breathing ash, not daring to fly.
Asmodeus’s servants are lurking in the old chambers.
Your pain and tears have brought about a monster
That is tearing itself into pieces from a painful departure
And tries to grab onto your resting place.
It’s a man with a dog’s head!
The day remembers,
And the night cries for him.
Your friend's death
Baptised you by fire
He awaits you under the window.
Nightmares wander in the darkness,
Can you hear that grieving howl?
There’s a man with dog’s head
Walking just outside your house.
This darkness is relentless,
And somewhere close, behind a wall,
A man with a dog’s head
Says your name again and again.
Where are your promises,
Your tears and blood on a cold gravestone?
You couldn’t live with that parting,
And now your friend is back, just let him in!
An angel sleeps in heaven,
And God will forgive us all.
A new day is upon us,
The ghost has disappeared like a shadow.
Leave it all behind,
You have your whole life ahead of you.
