From the Ashes

Diving deep, out of breath, the surface out of sight Darkest places hide some unknown sources of life All the melodies, memories and all these lullabies Cutting deep as the sensations start to revive Day after day I’m alive Out of the maze, I design The shape of a new paradise No, you won’t have my cries From ashes into the sky, I will arise Crimson dreams meant to die Reveries of the mind Guiding my way Into devious light How can we reconcile when the bridges have burned One step from the edge, how can one dream to return I was born in flames and I learnt how to walk in the fire Turned my pain into the source of a brighter light Step after step I come back Still I can hear the lullaby My ghosts lead the way I define

You want to fly above the fire On the top of the world, looking down Pick your poison between jealousy and anger Both will bring you back to the ground When the taste of greed has touched your lips You seek the power Give a stage to your demise Deceiver divine Falling from the sky As your empire catches fire, your illusions die Distorted lullaby, the rotten taste of lies In the abyss, no salvation for the wicked You told yourself the tales, the wonders You shaped the whole plot in your mind But the horizon darkens, ruining the picture Should you paint another lie? When the sun sets on your dreams And leaves a sense of failure Free fall, all fears arise Oh deceiver

Drowning or entering a fire I will cast a storm upon their lying smiles I can feel deep inside There’s a voice, a flame keeping me alive I open my heart, my eyes Sometimes it feels better to know To know We ignite Still dreaming wide awake On the hunt for “Somewhen brighter” Pull me back now I’ll dream until my dying day Create a new “Somewhere better” The promise of a life Like a thousand suns inside my broken heart I can see through your eyes And embrace the flame that guides me through the night Rising above the tides I know that I needed to fall To grow

Are you feeling alone As the pages burn, all is set in stone Hope is fading away Now the tables turn, so you turn and pray A sad illusion, the taste of a lie In your delusion, nowhere to hide But tell me why you swim against the tides Upside down You fool yourself and you hide in disguise I see you now Drop that crown You burned the bridges Get ready to dive! Are you still feeling alive Now your world’s been turned upside down How does is feel to be mad At the simple fact you’re born to die? In your reality gold is divine Your head is high and close to the sky So tell me why your crown is falling down Watch out Poisoned by greed and denial Your mind is sinking in The void of your demise
