We've been quiet in cathedrals<br/> This rain shows no end<br/> Maybe we'll find a safe layby<br/> to sleep perchance to dream<br/> <br/> Been close to many fires<br/> But this one ultimately cremates<br/> <br/> We own to one for memories<br/> but I guess thus gods confirmed<br/> <br/> We'll suffer a perished fortune<br/> or a cinematic death<br/> if gracious at all<br/> they grant us a grave<br/> <br/> Feel secure to sleep now<br/> Everything's incomplete somewhen<br/> It's only the mirage of tomorrow<br/> with great many terms<br/> <br/> We leave all forsaken goods<br/> on the porch in twilight's blue<br/> Blitheness in our steps<br/> when the universe is through

Remains only a sculpture<br/> Of forged image of a soul<br/> Proclaimers have now shut their mouth<br/> The last wolves with distant howls<br/> <br/> And we never saw any wonders<br/> Another terms, another views<br/> A blurry point for this endless walk<br/> Yet an aisle for another queue<br/> <br/> Fundamental light<br/> Undress us all<br/> Shame us all<br/> Fundamental light<br/> We are perfidiously grown<br/> Abort the unborn<br/> <br/> Godspeed the black quartet<br/> May the wind cast your steed<br/> Our rage’s being dormant<br/> By the end of days<br/> <br/> Fundamental light<br/> Undress us all<br/> Fundamental light<br/> Shame us all<br/> Fundamental light<br/> We are perfidiously grown<br/> Fundamental light<br/> Abort the unborn<br/> <br/> Prepare a pile of the residual icons<br/> A heater for the winter’s gauze<br/> Our fathers fought with lions<br/> We leave unarmed for revolt<br/> <br/> And everything ever lived<br/> Portrayed the many ways of death<br/> A leaf falls and the earth trembles<br/> You just read last lines on the final spread<br/> <br/> And the dark still restrains the morning gleam<br/> We are bowed to say goodbye

Their hearts are quiescent volcanoes<br/> rooted into no man’s land<br/> Rushed naked into the winter<br/> With a hunger become too real<br/> <br/> Set the sun as the topmost watcher<br/> For the longest day to come<br/> The rays strike here in the muted sanctum<br/> where grief is the deepest type<br/> <br/> And where are they <br/> at nights we have no dreams<br/> Settled in the rain front<br/> as saline drops from the sky <br/> across the Earth<br/> <br/> And laconic clauses we share<br/> Our roots are dead in our own courtyard<br/> Past loves beseeched to reborn<br/> South wind might call them home<br/> <br/> From parables to reality<br/> From sons to elderly<br/> Choir of legions repeat their name<br/> To long, not to liberate<br/> <br/> And comes without exception <br/> the spring of funerals<br/> The summer is for long goodbyes<br/> The fall for nostalgy<br/> <br/> And the wailing hollow grounds <br/> of young December<br/> Rush-hour in the memory lane

No law has restrained my desires<br/> The pyre of souvenirs’ perpetual flame<br/> But to the halt I’ve been shambled<br/> and the years gained on my pace<br/> The rime on my heels had driven<br/> <br/> They sculpted proofs for life<br/> Nailed the firmament anew for me<br/> Built this spectacle of passing<br/> to where this graveled road ended<br/> Static in their eyes and smiles<br/> <br/> Lent for the soul<br/> for I felt lavished freedom<br/> Lash for the flesh<br/> for I cried for another fall<br/> <br/> And at the feet of coronated savior<br/> Rattled by his colossal hands<br/> Reverse all moments of my terrestrial times<br/> Snuggled in shroud of white<br/> <br/> I could repent, yet in my hindsight<br/> I truly would but in my past life<br/> <br/> Yes<br/> <br/> I always could, yet in my hindsight<br/> I truly would but in my past life<br/> <br/> Hear me speak for the last time<br/> And the white I wear is begrimed<br/> Say my name for the last time<br/> The white I wear is begrimed<br/> <br/> And for the brethren this ashen earth has swallowed<br/> into solitude of sleep everlong<br/> I would grant the highest of headstones<br/> in the most verdant hill<br/> the stellar rains will ever spring

It’s built in our minds<br/> Agreed with terms<br/> Greater than cosmos <br/> That our structure is time-bound<br/> <br/> And the time won’t kill<br/> It sustains torment<br/> Black clouds gather<br/> In immeasurable cluster<br/> <br/> But this is eternal<br/> My everlasting hate<br/> And this is a manifest<br/> To all I bear without<br/> Bestowed and earnest will<br/> <br/> But it’s the folly of man<br/> And transient<br/> We have burnt our beds<br/> Out of doors<br/> <br/> How do you feel<br/> When your heated up core<br/> Can carry no longer<br/> Another touch on the shoulders<br/> <br/> They go ahead<br/> The restless ones<br/> At the speed of bird<br/> With a moribund laughter

A passage <br/> A funeral for the living<br/> Born from coincidence<br/> To the death of dreams<br/> <br/> Before the final cut<br/> Speculating about the extended version of life<br/> A fault in existence<br/> Philosophy in the wildlife<br/> <br/> We let it recur<br/> With the law of lion<br/> Veins driven dry<br/> Splitting the sun for the poles apart<br/> <br/> And never come back <br/> For what has happened<br/> Sorrow is mute<br/> In solo, in choir<br/> <br/> The same heart beats<br/> In a soul and a machine<br/> All virtues belied<br/> On the Sunday of our life<br/> <br/> Platitudes to declarations<br/> In the cradle of cleanness a bird of prey<br/> Follow the living to the edge of a trench<br/> A single legionnaire to prevent the massacre<br/> <br/> Unavoidable recurrence<br/> Until the voice breaks illusion

The wind plays sweet elegies<br/> while seasons assimilate<br/> Strikes a gust of fatalism in the broad daylight<br/> And it comes across my skin<br/> It hardens my heart to let it in<br/> We slammed the doors to childhood echoing<br/> <br/> In the sleet we pass the line of black cars<br/> Forgotten that we lived today<br/> Erased chapter in history<br/> Garlands in the line of black cars<br/> <br/> Window view to the world we see<br/> Disposal site or a cemetery<br/> It’s a silly dream we are awaken to this world from<br/> Yet it’s adversary<br/> Endlessly flogging ourselves to sleep<br/> The unsung wailing in our arteries<br/> <br/> And slowly roams the line of black cars<br/> The fire in our hearts could flare <br/> but it’s a chance of rain today<br/> Stand solemn by the line of black cars<br/> <br/> And if this world would cease<br/> It’s clockwork could never revive<br/> Would we borrow time from eternity?<br/> <br/> The line of black cars roams endlessly <br/> The line of black cars roams desperately

Staring at the pyres of all the unreachable<br/> gives more bliss than one could bear<br/> Now encumbered by the blitheness of existence<br/> Days might chance but the vapor’s the same<br/> <br/> I wish we could still believe in this world <br/> Looking back saying we were never alive<br/> In this carnal material all means are achieved<br/> Let the wonder of harvest come abiding but kind<br/> <br/> I have fed the beast of a nightmare<br/> Torn the earth down to the core<br/> Roamed in the image of Adam<br/> Until the dawn of the luciferian light<br/> <br/> Who are they in the dark obsolete to colors<br/> Dancing in a doomsday prom<br/> Shrouded perfectly in blackest weeds<br/> Fear of endlessness read on each lip<br/> <br/> And triumph for those whose sailed afar <br/> To where the wind is fire to them<br/> They seek the infeasible from the south of seas<br/> Where the waves are walls around them<br/> <br/> We are equal before the sun<br/> But the night has just begun<br/> I glance daringly up to the sky<br/> It hardens my hands to try<br/> <br/> Foes and friends, both and in between<br/> Walk me to the martyr’s guillotine<br/> This earthly realm is least benighted<br/> From now on I might travel light

We hold them fast this time to no avail<br/> In the arms of stone and sacrifice<br/> And let loose before the morn breaks quick<br/> No hunger or cold chase them home<br/> <br/> The rain came droning<br/> For the fall to flourish <br/> The time aspired<br/> To become stagnant<br/> <br/> The last carriage<br/> In the wake of leavers<br/> The conveyor<br/> A pale redeemer<br/> <br/> Spare a grave for those who saw the world<br/> An epitaph they cannot comprehend<br/> From the tower at the end of a burning bridge<br/> See the twilight returns for good<br/> <br/> And gods retreated <br/> From the church of the mundane<br/> The row was quiet<br/> In the emerging thunder<br/> <br/> The water frozen<br/> In the front of the nameless<br/> And the year of sorrow<br/> Appeared endless<br/> <br/> Came the sands of Eden <br/> Carried by far winds<br/> Into a lonely isle<br/> In the lake of fire<br/> <br/> We believe in nothing<br/> <br/> Turned over a thousand times below the green <br/> The others who achieved peacefulness<br/> The time stands halt for us above the plains<br/> In the lines of these hands rivers could run
