Moss covers the doors

As the titan breaks his slumber

Fog pervades the shores

Confounded men shall fight their instinct

To find themselves

To find that

Everything you learn is a new step towards the abyss

Open wide the gate

And my work will be completed

Exhibit my fate

Close to virtue, yet so far away

Holding my breath

Up until time stops moving

Finally sliding into

My underwater heaven

Bathing my hope in shades of grey

In the bowels of hell

Mild reflection in the waters

But it's not myself

Although I see nothing but my angst

My martyrdrom

My torment

Open my lungs

Cancel my world, ischemia

Make me feel safe with your caress

Breathing again

Cold thoughts are finally ceasing

Falling into unconsciousness

I see my demise and into its clutches

I let myself fall again

And there's violence in its beauty

And mercy in its terror

A welcoming dread, a solemn lament

An atonement for haughtiness

This exile sanctifies my sentence

Longing for a respite

I lie awake

On that freezing day my walk

Was stopped by an helmsman

His arrival at the shore

Took me by surprise

For the rate was surely fair

But wasn't expected

I had nothing in my hands

Therefore I declined

Through the frosty wind a voice

Reverbed from his vessel

"That is just what you deserve

You didn't fear God!"

I replied with disdain:

"If your god was real

He would want more than our tears

Upon the gravestone"

I was given freedom and calm

Mercy, protection

Brilliance and opulence

But still, discontented with your silence

I decided it wasn't enough

So I, locked up behind the grid

Craved what you forbid

And gave up my life to seek knowledge

Until, devoid of my zeal

Without and within

I fell under the consequences

Salvation for none

Who blamed the architect

For the flaws of its creation

Salvation for none

None of you

None of you

I see my demise and into its clutches

I let myself fall again

And there's violence in its beauty

And mercy in its terror

A welcoming dread, a solemn lament

Torn, exhausted, my search continues

And I wonder how long has been

And when the last man exhales his last breath

Mankind will be over, but not my distress

(There's no cleansing behind the curtain

Don't seek happiness, come away)

There's no cleansing behind the curtain

Don't seek happiness, come away

There's no cleansing behind the curtain

Make a bow fading in decay

Decay
