Darkness Sustains the Silence

The hot coals are about to burn As the priest calls his name For the following actions he'll be punished The world swirls as the bonfire is set Eternal perdition awaits the sinned Obedience, for the lack of belief No need for a final blessing The heretic must be purged, disposed in just flames Among this sacrificial site The blood begins to boil Flesh wraps around and curls in the heat A human torch blazes, the sins are redeemed And the punishment is done "Soul of Christ, sanctify me Body of Christ, save me Blood of Christ, inebriate me Water from the side, wash me From the malicious enemy defend me In the hour of my death call me And bid me come unto Thee That I may praise Thee with Thy saints Forever and ever” “A world without end."

As I make my way through these deserted streets It crosses my mind what has been lately gone wrong in this society And I'm wondering what had been going on Why it ran out, all fell down With a split second window The passing rates soared sky-high Swirling down to the spiral of decay Being stuffed with all those lies they tried to feed to me This is another form of anarchy and suffering People living without any hope, struggling to survive And I'm wondering what had been going on Why it ran out, all fell down With a split second window The passing rates soared sky-high Swirling down to the spiral of decay Being stuffed with all those lies they tried to feed to me Going ahead, face to face with my own mortality Seeking for a cure for this disease, although it's not possible The stocks ran dry, no one in place to ease or help it This is a drama of no return, that's without a question Praying for an answer from the higher level above us Got nothing in return, the time I have is now running out My mind starts fading away, body turns slowly off Deep within this spiral of decay I finally descend

Back in the game Pouring the right liquid though my veins My blood is fixed It runs smoother than ever before Give me back the reins Let me guide myself to that place Where the sun won't shine forever Looking at the starting spot It ain't the way I live What do you say? I'm a one-eyed man I'm a one-eyed battering ram I'm a full-fledged steamroller I take the stance I do what I feel is right Thinking back to yesterday It's not my proposal, no way With this great feeling Breathing the fresh air Being my current self No need for explanations This is as honest as I can get What do you say? I'm a one-eyed man I'm a one-eyed battering ram I'm a full-fledged steamroller Bring tonight Burning bright, burning low I don't care at all What's up to you? I don't take any feeble considerations Just pour me a drink No need for a reservation What do you say? I'm a one-eyed man I'm a one-eyed battering ram I'm a full-fledged steamroller What do you say? What do you see in me? I'm a one-eyed man I'm a one-eyed battering ram A full-fledged steamroller And I'm coming your way

Deep in the star constellation of Orion One massive blaze of the Alfa Orionis Worth of ten thousand Suns combined together Light years away, far in the unexplored outer space Soon to explode into torrid bits Reaching the stage of supernova The scorching core pulsates within it Consisting of hydrogen, unstable nuclear fusions The devils eye, engulfed in devastating flames Devouring the vast spheres in near proximities The starved vultures arrive from hell's fire The smoldering clouds finally appeared above Orion As we expected

It is said that it's sometimes calm before the storm Worries, those are small, living it like the day before Nothing strange in the sky, nothing that would shatter the illusion In neither hemispheres, nor traces the bare eye could see Forced to live the day, while unwillingly we're led astray What technology can offer, it is not the way to salvation When the present day will end and the evolution chooses a different path Believing into something so strong, it can prove to be fragile When unleashed, the heat will melt every stone This event of great magnitude, uncontrolled Overshadowing our already distant past, our epilogue On these grounds it is certain that we were the last We were unaware of the approaching storm Nearing the signs of light, silently we march

I'm waking up yet again While feeling the weight of the world sitting on my shoulders Hearing it well, the clock will tick A feeling that builds up and never lets alone Lacerated thoughts Lungs proceed on overdrive The system overloads My thoughts begin to wander around Nobody must feel it like the state I'm in In desperation I search for a repair Like for a machine There must be an answer A cure that would set one free The chains were imposed and cannot be seen The limited ability To control movement Heart beats are slowing down Agonized thoughts that swirl Nobody must feel it like the state I'm in Down to the wire Things get postponed every time A spell with an effect to be whole again Or a conjuring to deepen the agony The destination is again toward unknown I'm spinning out of control It might get better the day after day No progress in sight Although, at least I tried I'm waking up yet again Hearing it well, the clock will tick My thoughts begin to wander around Nobody must feel it like the state I'm in

PART I: This is the cruel way of reality A twisted pathway one has to endure The cycle of nature, unchangeable by a human being Entranced in a swift change The sunlight will never shine Holding on to a distant belief Now crushed, Armageddon bound It flickers away Grasping unto something that once was pure But there is nothing, no more While descending into an anarchy Societies perish to dismal remains PART II: Distorted faces vanishing in a spectral haze Sirens of doom break the silence Uncertain figures wander through the mist Collapsing structures And heavy rains of packed snow emerge Explosions fill the night sky A feeble try to make it whole once more The weapons of mortals won't offer much help Only chemistry irrelevant to the final outcome Dropping down to fatal degrees The call of gods or is there anyone? Hostilities break out between rival communities Just expedites the final extinction Oil reserves depleting Energy not stabilized Strong networks vanish Technology is obsolete Final sections of the life cycle Evolution backfires Without the needed potencies Distributed through the outer space Darkness sustains the silence Unstable forces gravitate Glaciers spread throughout the regions Humidity begins to crystalize Final sections of the life cycle Evolution did backfire Without the needed potencies The sun gives no shelter Ice tears the havens apart The warmth is long gone, it's gone PART III: If only I'd been able to foresee Oh, just hold on to these distant believes Now nothing, we're Armageddon bound While darkness sustains the silence Condemned to be a part of this Glaciers spread throughout the regions While darkness sustains the silence The sands of time finally soothe us to rest
