Deus Ex Machina

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I fear no light I fear no pain I fear no salvation As I stand on the top of the highest pile of skulls I inhale fear and exhale anger... I summon thee, spirits in the depths and in the stars Confront me as I am, for the blasphemy against you all... As the fallen remember the heaven and joy - I cherish all past reminiscence The greatest curse of all in we can never forget what we've lost... "Once I was the one to crave your light, and I was the one to ease your toil" The greatest loss is what dies insdie, dies inside of us while we live This is how it all began, I was left with nothing First you let me touch and feel this sober adherence Then you make me watch you die, as I go through the motion of my life The tranquility and calmness was what I was looking for Now as I came to the place of no return I'll make you all loose your belief and burn And when it all ends, when your hopes are gone, I will understan all the things I've done Seein all the graves and weeping men upon, nowhere to go from here I face the barrel of a gun, all knowledge come from experience Loss and possession, death and life are one, there falls no shadow, where there shines no sun.

See your father, son Come sit and listen I've been walking on a rather strange path But here I am now unmasked Take a deep breath The monsters under your pillow I've been passing over with silence And I've been lying for as long as I could So you could have your playgrounds But now this time has come for you to know Soon you'll start to like your sleep more and more Because when you're awake, you'll see your life falling apart Because when you're awake, you'll see your life falling apart Because when you're awake, you'll see your life falling apart And the stars and the skies you'll never reach them You've been given a wish without being given the power to make it true.. Well well well my father, you may want to reconsider Yet I've been told by adversary I'm always free to change my mind Choose a different future Is it so?.. no! [Solo] "Look deep in my eyes past all the lies, Past my act past this disguise, Past the scars and past the tears, You will see only fear.".. And this time up on the earth Living by the "things will get better" Holding the thoughts back will never save you from yourself You are your own end

Oh the silence, the awakening in the middle of a scornful sky Examination of conscience A true believer crescendo of clarity and soul misery Disintegrating common sense, the human hybris reckoning For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory of the possession The conquering, the knowing, the fire in the heart And vows to yourself to the world to the lovers to the enemies to deceivers and friends Oh how far can you go in trusting to be your own god?.. How good does that sound? How sweet is it to your ears? They understand, they seize They teach you to withstand the defeat, the confusion The will to survive with nothing in the end To maintain a delusion state of mind of control and of the power Blissful sedative You're free to believe what you're made of makes some sense Somewhat powerless, roughly hedonist You follow the pattern Libertine free of morals Stronger than all you're in control Damn you oh what a tragedy The striking irong Relentless soul in a cage of mortal ghoul.. Let others see what you don't see There is no light in the tunnel.. There is no light whatsoever.. There is one thing about the mankind A bitter lesson to learn, a resaon to live The man is just what others comprehend They have their ways to see So if you seem to have faith in yourself And you're strong enough to reconcile Acknowledge the fact, that every other conviction you may have Is one miserable pile of secrets.. And no one will ever know How deep is your sorrow, how joyful is your happiness May then your fear of tomorrow reassure you of your forthcomings.. You'll be dying alone..

You're the contamination of earth Solemn strive for vicious power Perverse repulse of darkest hour And the world will strike back upon your urge Will hunt you down and you're fertilized this exhausted soil Why would you even think. why would you even try For this one and every moment Your visions are free to die Solemn strive for real filth Perverse repulse of sense of guilt All of this has happened before And all of this will happen again Amor fati, scarab, the recurrence eternal Hysterical patchwork makes no sense You catch a piece a glance And you tumble down to rise again The empires falling Twilights of the gods Seven deadly joys cacophony Restless hearts sleep alone tonight

As you keep pushing forward You hold on to righteous self for self power sake Prove you're not a coward Go on with decisions to make In consequence of your creation Gods are crying in dismay Visions of the future, they will devour you Reconciling with the past what a shame Watch the answers change For all questions you ever had Comprehend, cogitate Realize it's going nowhere, obliterate The point of absolute prostration A man stripped down to the very fear And none of you shall reach out to him Drowned in disease, crowned with your fears Paralyzing self-righteousness, all your loves gone in tears So close yet so far, so distant yet so near The aesthetics gives you joy, sweetest of all decay You're barely human, more like a creature You may defend what's left, you many pretend to live Horrifying death you'll be facing I've done everything you wanted, like the ancient tragedy You're not what you were meant to be means and ends are seen "Learning means finding out what you may already know..." But before the curtains close, to awaken all the hopes again Deus ex machina is descending from the top The audience holds the breath Faintly rising from their seats Eyes wide open Here come their happy end But wait... there's a halter on his neck Ghastly pale going down with the ropes Averting human's fall is the hangman's dream

Radiant figure hanging above your heads Deviant image, apotheosis of a man Crawling affiliation Praying dying fearful acclamation bound Commemorate the omnipotence And inappropriate delusion of grandeur Embrace dejection of courage Dismay, cast down your pride Remember You're the one, one of many You're the one, one of many "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, they will follow me." Remember You're the one, the one of many Can't you see the contrivance The world of god, useful misguidance Killing lying in the name of divine reason You'll never see his face And I give them the eternal life And they will never perish And no one will ever snatch them out of my hand My father who has given them to me is grater than all And no one is able to snatch them out of the father's hand (When one person suffers from a delusion, it's called insanity, when many people suffer from a delusion, it is called religion.. religion?... just pull yourself together.)

(The reason I created you, well, it was never an issue to me while it was happening..) Once I stated going the path I chose Nothing seemed real, and nothing seemed impossible I gathered the tools they gave me I summoned all grudge and hatred and grief Going down, way down, to see: The sorrows, the demons, deep regrets and sins I felt this, I was the son of magic of power of will to create So I built all the dukedoms black, thus spoke the nightspirit This fire that burned in the heart This freezing moon allegiance Mother North I commenced Crying wolves Speak the gospel of disease [Solo] Against the sun, across the mirrors, throughout the space I made it all clear and selfish statement I am what I do, will you follow me? [Verse:] Now you see this my reflection of yours You're observing it defenceless The adherence is far beyond intention I didn't want you to compromise your will I didn't let you in, that's not your promised land [Verse:] And the vision and the might and your insight and the light That shines through these stained glass windows in this cell They will never be your guide, they're here for me to hide From all I was too weak to fight elsewhere I don't want to leave you with nothing But I'm afraid I have to say: It went too far to accept it Get away from my fairy tale Take your toys and move away Gather your dreams, forget them all Before you end up like me You don't want to end up like me

Rising of a solemn ceremonial dawn Fainting of a darkened yet resplendent sky Gazing down at the shadows of those I left behind Listening to the hollow overtaking stillness So convinced of things to come on this day I awaited the sunrise I kissed all that I cared of I paid off all I owed to anyone I closed all doors carefully, closed the undone I wanted to collect all these moments of joy And I have them all stand all around me now I'm ready, the time is ripe The things undone no more standing in the way of my resolution My final composure I'm done trying to live I walked up the road to that I planned to this tallest bridge across forever You saw me passing by and never said a word I climbed to the top and stood right on the edge The sun was rising, the air was thin, and you could hear the water glides The mind so clear for this everlasting moment of clarity The feeling so pure and free of morals as I spread my arms wide And then I felt this cold shivers creeping flesh I turned around convulsively holding to the ground So scared, so terrified, I didn't make a sound And I stayed there kneeling down, despairing and facing the dirt Calming down this trembling flesh and bones of this wretched self I would never thought there could be anything more pathetic than this Why can't we neither live nor die? Why are we so weak?... Going back, my head's down Uttermost disgrace, and a life to face I'm sure you were there, why didn't you push me down? Why didn't you push me down? I have nothing to offer to anyone But my own confusion, my will is done

Ascending through the tissues, fractures, raging cells The inner force of life builds up the flesh and spreads Pushing so hard, willing so strong No matter what comes, regardless of all, what for?... Descending through the weakening force, the downward walk Shrinking egos, shredded mind, awareness of the grave The ending is always the same As simple as it sounds, as obvious as ever, it all just ends All these things you want to believe, just a need to prove you belong All you think you want to achieve, just a mind's trick to make you proceed "I am not what happened to me, I am what I chose to become" Oh you wish you could say that, oh you wish for so much So concerned about things that come next You forget this short moment you live in You will never have anything else Embrace the obvious before you've gone "The reality is what it is, not what you want it to be" Every life comes with a death sentence [Chrous x3] Look around and lit things lie Now you see what you've done to the world And you see what the world has done to you

(These dying embers of repressed ambition: I forsake , this crying performance of morality. I leave behind, god may forgive you, but I never will, et in arcadia ego...) We never really had a chance to build this house Even when we tried so hard, stone by stone, piece by piece I've built it in my head, I think I started living there While what we really had, was turning into dust It was full of stairs and mirrors and relfections Like a castle of wishes adorned with deception "No one has ever came to my door, but I think I thought I saw you try" "You must find this place in your heart for th eone you love the most" That is myself "Why do you say that, you never went this road before" You made me observe It was full of stairs and mirrors and relfections Like a castle of wishes adorned with deception (Each word, each cut, open wound. I stitch them up, but my scars, will do a lifetime with me...) I loathe the faith I had I despise this hope forlorn Through the ashes of intention Life is a one man show I came to the point where happiness is what is left of the willing I throw a match behind my back This bouse took years to built And a moment to burn...
