Persephone / Descending

A rat within me digging so deep
strives to plant the seed of the need
it carves a face, distorted shape
signed by pain but still is incomplete
A rodent fed with my guts
look the sun is turning
and the sun just turned black
but still none is glutted
so nothing left for the feast
only covered ashes
Another winter
Another soul awaits
Another psychopomp
leads me into Hades
now try to tame the beast
while it does not rage
the river Lethe is the key
Περσεφόνη, Somniferous
All in vain, despair is your name
Περσεφόνη, Somniferous
In the vein, reclaim back the pain
the reel of fate now rolls
everything is under
the sentenced daughter laments
no chance to escape
our hopes falling like leaves
leaving the flesh naked
I was devoured by mist

State of Falling

I think I'm lost, again
I'm a ghost living all around
no one sees me here
all my screams contain such pain
nonetheless no one hears me
But I, I hear echoes talk
so I pretend I'm living
prophet of my own mistake
take the crown of lies away
turn the king to be a slave
kneel the pain and shout "obey"
The dusk brings cold, so cold
is my soul, in a swamp is crawling
my roots digging deep
hold me to the ground
no clothes left on me, nothing else to hide
my shape witnesses my state of falling

My Only Friend
05:12
|

I'm feeling so alone, I think I'm high
I see a serpent smile in your eyes
Lead the way I'm following you
One step behind
I think this ride is full of mines
What I get, what I choose, rot inside
we're exposed to the light
stomach hurts, got no air, see no sky
I'm going down
My only friend is me
we barely speak
and when I do, he always cries

The Charlatan

Waking from dreaming
my head is a mess
Eyes are blinking
no consciousness
My only feeling
is still emptiness
Take away your ware (Addicted to liars)
I need to be released
All your potions are venomous (Addicted to liars)
And your words a disease
Talking and talking
forgot who I am
Your imposing staring
is changing my needs
My full-empty smile
easily convinced

Heads or Tails
04:04
|
|||
I am coming back to you
a pair of lips that speak the truth
at least at the beginning
I am turning all the pages back
mistakes will lead me to
my own hiking path
I'm not you
I would never trust the way you do
After all these changes
Brainwashed, fooled
But I still believe I will break through
I will start all over
take a lesson from a greedy mind
an optimistic thought
that shouldn't be forgotten
No one swears for what is wrong or right
so flip the coin of life
and choose heads or tails

Break the Fetters

Sick this place I was calling home
try leaving on my own
All the bricks are in the wall
but there's a bright hole
Free at last, that's not enough
I need to buy some time
The sound of chains yet follows me
a saint who stops to..
Pray, Standing still in the rain
Say, no more fatalism
Hey, stay, don't fade away
yes I know, nobody wants me at all
killing time, nobody knows what it's like to be small
without a name and a soul I'm dying alone

Persephone / Ascending

Α silhouette is showing up from far away
dressed in black, walking speechless, comes this way
Thesmophoros is her name, and she’s so sad
all her wrath is overflowing the land
Sense the ground that’s shaking
Watch the daughter debouch
Time has come for healing
Now you only have to...
feel the sun, the sun the eternal life
goddess sings "prepare yourself and live"
and the seasons passing by like the wind
so the underworld demands what they agreed
Her Majesty wiser than before
compromises despite of her sore
