Oceanum

Leaves are falling, smoke follow there Paint with rain, and lonely view So the leaves fall, so does his soul Without these shores, the ocean waits Carved scars screams, this is where he drowns In his thoughts, and his nightmares Passed the haunting names, fears without words All words he spoke, spoke them fast Reflections are here, by endless forms All his thoughts, within are quiet And still are chanting, their dark songs Floating away, yet still stay here Keeping eyes, open while all others sleep A tired man, search as the struggle goes on Scars in ghosts, that dwell within too deep Flashing light, like the beacon of death Ghosts observing, lure him to pain unseen Names of our fears, written in heart And scarred for life Inside these lives, no guilt too small Underneath the ground, no hole too deep to fall

Ravishing lights They fall through a windowpane Are they in their bleak illusion Trapped inside the labyrinth Of life, of death Beyond and between Like moths driven for the flame In search for tranquility ...At least... ...Be it known… The harvest of lifeforms Million years now gone Unveiling the truth No more they shall be reborn Gently pressed down To the infinite cloak Unveiling the truth That the vermin was the sun And while universe expands And cycles repeat Like moths driven for the flame In chase for tranquility Ravishing lights won't reach this waste Still trapped in this maze There's no light of day These lives we lead So dreadful to see Before the blazing sun is broken And the vermin's are erased

Outside the snow is falling Like a dance of ghost Pale city lights hit the concrete Like prayers in their ruins Empty temples of hollow speech Years serving the pain Only walls observe the floating dust Left to roam alone Forsaken by the eyes Of a cloud hidden moon Behind the walls built so tall Live to die for another sunrise Of dreams, of realities As one, and departed Trapped in, collective masks Of mankind's deathbed Forsaken by the eyes Of a cloud hidden moon Behind the walls built so tall Live to die for another sunrise

The old clock ticks on A second, a minute and the hour And yet again One year into the unknown Then and now Are they all wasted away? Stare these strangers eyes Observing the deep dark Slowly falling clouds A beating pulse, so calm, dew and rays On this morning rise, gravity press me down The gleam of days, years passed behind The shade so strange, reality of my time Turn to oblivion So dim is the shine of all hope as my guide In these crossroads Aware of our fall below in our sleep In our hearts And all the lines are done with our blood To the walls within Not knowing where this road leads Not knowing where it ends... When it seems, like this is the fall Like these are only new coming storms I stare these strangers eyes Face to face with the unknown And borders of then and now I have no doubt when it's dark inside It is all the years passed by Behind the reality of time Cannot change one's history Knowing what was supposed to be Pushing me, pulling me Want to speak yet there's no sound Try to see through walls around Borders of then and now

Before these lives are done The time we took the earthly shapes In the oil lamps flickering flames Should we return to see our birth The walk across the spirals of the earth To illuminate many faces And these phantom thoughts While we learnt to speak and not to… ...hear Here is only few reasons Endless stories and endless bridges burnt Leads to... ...fall Lonely rooms and more lonelier minds In a distant mist of it all ...fall ...fall ...fall Again we meet our fate, dressed in disguise Standing grey at the gate, and lure us with lies Behind this dark art, paint with colour of black Borders of the lost, and the ones who can't come back Dark canvas, faded paintings Words without answers Absence and remembrance Hollow and futile The hope in severance And then the questions To bind them all in Unhuman interventions Death welcome in With pure radiant light of death I take these demons to the grave To the darkness where we all belong Need no guide as we go along ...we all reek of fear… ...we all reek of death… We are no more One of us You are no more One of us Separated From you Separated From us Among the shadows Of this dead world Rushing in with fear To cast a cry out far Only sleeping statues Receive the questions Nothing we can choose And all we shall lose We are no more One of us You are no more One of us

I feel pride overtaking me And the fool I am My ignorance is feeding me And deny helping hand The beauty won't be the same After this reaches out This demon whispers a name That I can live without It was me All the lies I have told I believed them all With closed eyes I will grow old And complete my wall Within these walls my mind is clear Don't need a helping hand And to no one I will reveal Still a fool I am Just a name I want to forget Just a name I can live without

Here at the end of the black river Mutual with despair are the movements Now fallen o' lion of stars Now silence dwell with waters When it once bathed with the light And still we don't see how the curtains are grim Still we cannot see how the veil is thin Here at the river and within Face to face with fear of life Face to face with death and time Those years behind the shade Pure and simple in absence of pain Now without all the promises Beneath this moon to wash away Face to face with fear of life Face to face with death and time The dark turns darker, as one touch the river The current is stronger, as life starts to wither Afraid to fall free from the earthly pain As the river whispers a name And the waters, were clean at moonlight When there was no, times will change Leaving us to reach, the distant memories Instead of this, this dark, this rust

You may not see through this old skin Scars don't tell of the pain within I know if won't act, it will just be worse So tell me what if it hurts I know where to hide my guilt and shame And ignore the eyes that tell of pain I stand back and wait when it burst Yet look away 'cause what if it hurts Show you my scars to see where you touched For the cut runs too deep If all my pain and guilt reverts Still afraid what if it hurts
