2. the passage

the trial has just begun
i know it
you’re my destiny
the final story

sand is running out
you are waiting
far on the other side
in the forest
in the dark
will i find you there
when you close my eyes

*

on my tangled road
i want it
find the entrance
and regain my memories

i’m thinking out loud
passing former gods
turned into trees
am i in the real life
or am i in the realm of make-believe

if i pray
will you help me to get out
if i pray
will you help me to become
need to find the passage to the light

*

on my winding road
i stumble
i’m losing my faith
let myself wander

i keep going on
while you’re waiting
far on the other side
it is getting cold and dark
will i find you there
when you close my eyes

if i pray

will you help me to get out
if i pray
will you help me to become
need to find the passage to the light

if i pray
will you help me to get out
if i pray
will you help me to become
one last bit of a chance to revive
to revive

*

need to find the passage to the light
to revive
need to find the passage to the light
to revive
need to find the passage to the light
to revive
need to find the passage to the light
to revive

3. through shaded woods

eyes on every corner
shine among the woods
whispers and voices
and my starving truth
i thought i had it covered
i thought i had it down
warm breath of fear
lycanthropic smile

run through your shaded woods
run through your shaded mind
run through the night
run away
run through the darkness
run

eyes on every corner
shining in the dark

4. oblivion

i’ve come this far
and still remember
even though
i would like to forget

consequences of my choice
caught up to me
as the prophecy fulfilled
i yearn

nothingness
nothing around me
nothingness
nothing around me

it returns
over and over
i still have the taste of salt on my lips
oh my Lethe
river of forgetfulness
let me soothe my soul
erase my sins

i’m silently drowning
among your tears
silently falling into your grief
i’m silently drowning
among your waves
silently falling into your breath
let me pretend i am born again

5. summoning dance

most of the road i travelled alone
is now far behind
i have an opportunity to believe
and to revive

so why do i feel
like i already failed
three stones on the right side
three stones on the left

i had to keep starting over from scratch
put that to rest
i didn’t like myself
and what i’d become
and i was tired

three stones on the right side
three stones on the left
my vicious circle of life and death

“oh you want it”
i hear it again
“oh you want it”
my burden
curse to break

i don’t know if i’m capable anymore
of learning
what it’s like to feel
on the other side of my dream
i will try to wake up
and to believe

just break my curse

*

most of my afterlife
i have spent
trying to solve
the diagram
i forgot i’d made up
when it all had begun

so why do i feel
like i already failed
three stones on the right
side three stones on the left

“oh you want it”
i hear it again
“oh you want it”
my burden
curse to break
i don’t know if i’m capable anymore
of learning
what it’s like to feel
on the other side of my dream
i will try to wake up
and to believe
i don’t know if i will be able to love
if i cannot find you there

summon me now
just break my curse
the dance begins

*

you had to stop in the middle of life
and live in a cavern of lies
whenever you were pulling away from yourself
they made you believe it’s okay
forced you to stand still
stop moving
to vegetate
but you always wanted to dance
you always wanted to dance
you always wanted to dance

6. the fountain

on this side of awakening
i no longer wait for you to come
not this time
maybe later
in a navy-blue world

summertime
a perfect moment
i will give myself another try
sun rays break through the branches
ancient sacrifice

silence breaks apart
brightness comes to life
stream of sounds
wash away the darkness from my soul

*

so goodbye
we part our ways
it’s the point of no return, my love
i’ve crossed this bridge
oh, maybe seven times
but only now i feel calm

silence breaks apart
brightness comes to life
stream of sounds
wash away the darkness from my soul

you know i’ll return
this won’t change my faith
but for now
wash away the darkness from my heart
