When the rain comes down, wait for me.
I will teach you how to soothe your pain.
Crawling, starving, remember what died.
Howling, begging, look up to me.
Could you find the way
beneath your mortal shadow?
Your devotion rises
in the warmth of the coldest.
Could you find the way
beneath your mortal shadow?
Your devotion rises
in the warmth of the coldest.
Light freezes your steps in the
calm of my embrace, and like a phoenix,
reborn in the crystal mountain.
Return home by burning in a new sky.
Could you find the way
beneath your mortal shadow?
Your devotion rises
in the warmth of the coldest.
Could you find the way
beneath your mortal shadow?
Your devotion rises
in the warmth of the coldest.
Night strikes again and the
silence hits my ears, unwillingly follow
her through the forest of meaning. Dream it,
chase it, feast on it, reach me...
Crawling, starving, howling, begging.
Crawling, starving, howling...
Could you find the way
beneath your mortal shadow?
Your devotion rises
in the warmth of the coldest.
Could you find the way
beneath your mortal shadow?
Your devotion rises
in the warmth of the coldest.
Could you find the way
beneath your mortal shadow?
Your devotion rises
in the warmth of the coldest.
Could you find the way
beneath your mortal shadow?
Your devotion rises
in the warmth of the coldest.

The Great Sabbath
03:50

Stars shine above, fire burns below,
and now the witch, with her fine hands
turns the man's fate into her how.
Never trust her magic!
The demiurge shaping the soil,
filling her mind with a black choir,
and let her blossom into the ashes.
The great Sabbath begins!
Come near,
come through...
He was too curious, smelling the air.
"Don't go right there, the path leads down.
If you fall right now into her grave
who will save you tonight?"
But the witch's eyes have a fair sight,
seeing the shadow under the leaves.
The earth reveals his footprints.
His fate's marked by now!
Come near,
come through...
Now the trees reveal themselves
as servants of the great black god.
Children rise their voices and answer
to his call.
"Burn the with into the raisin",
said the man, "before it's too late!"
He had just no clue of whom
the witch was.
Searching deep into her traits,
melt his hands into her waist,
drowning in the dark blue lake
of her eyes.
Now the truth is far too clear,
but the flames're already near,
leaving just a word into the air:
mother...

Oceanic Silence
02:56
|
|||
|
I hear the hypnotic sound of their laments
coming from the depths of the earth.
The roots keep ancient secrets that my soul aims to know,
and all I wish is returning a child again.
The caress of the ocean drawns me
in frozen memories of intimate delicacy.
Gazing at the blackened sky, I see it.
The truth hidden between the moon and the earth.
Laments turn into peaceful song, engrossing my heart.
Oceans of sadness come our from the dark circles of my eyes.
Between who I was and who I am now
there's an ocean of infinite melancholy.
And two more steps will lead me back home,
diving underneath the ocean, digging in the soil.
I found my final rest in the deadly silence of the abysses,
in the dissolving of my existence.

My Entity
03:04

I travel to find the hidden wolf.
He'll lead me back to the unknown,
where my entity belongs,
where my entity belongs.
There's no one here, and I carefully sail the seas,
and drop my anchor to lie under my mother's eyes.
I sail the seas of meadow,
and this is my home, this is my home.
Don't even trust, don't even make a move
or she will run away,
where my entity belongs,
where my entity belongs.
There's no one here, and I carefully sail the seas,
and drop my anchor to lie under my mother's eyes.
I sail the seas of meadow,
and this is my home, this is my home.
Should I return where the burden hits my lungs, swallowing
the smell of flowing minds, stabbing myself by hearing them crying.
Where my entity belongs,
where my entity belongs.
There's no one here, and I carefully sail the seas,
and drop my anchor to lie under my mother's eyes.
I sail the seas of meadow,
and this is my home, this is my home.

Home

When it was clear that everything was lost,
the traveler sat and aimed for death.
So this is what I became.
For what I've done is impossible
to forget, erase, cancel.
It's all falling apart, it's all falling apart.
Please, stop by, don't leave me alone
with the shadow of myself.
So this is what I became.
For what I've done is impossible
to forget, erase, cancel.
It's all falling apart, it's all falling apart.
Pureness, beauty. It all surrounded me.
But the presence, the presence of absence
devoured it all, leaving nothing to believe in.
Rest your head now, you're home.
