Astral

On Aube noir

It was a clear summer night

Sheets, hearse in the pale light of stars

From the open window I remember the smell

Of the fields, summer flowers, heady

Uncalm is the realm of the giants

I need room to reminisce or invent

And that’s, that’s all I could see

Yet the dazzling void of my existence has cleared up

This night, sitting in the corner of her room

Watching her dream, numb contemplation

Then I ascended and felt a glittering bliss

And thеn I burnt and burnt without any suffering

I was becoming the comеt at the behest of some superior will

Fragmented glimpses of what I was or could have been

Thin is the air, so are the spaces, souvenir

Of a spring eyed face, the memory of a tranquil breath

Reluctant protagonist of the cosmic tide I am

Stepping into the breach of a time I can’t control

Setting the cosmos balance in precarious conditions for a single glance

A single selfish moment of grace

Have you ever witnessed the anger of a star ?

Trapped in a curse that outweigh earthlings conceptions

Since I remember I wish I was born a man again

Made from mud and rotting flesh, yet I am not

The story I tell is one of vengeance, for my life was stolen

And soon will be yours

I dug the void between the planets to see her dreaming again

And found nothing

So will I do until my path reach you all again

O pilgrim, I’m returning, gather your brothers
