One great metamorphosis arises Across my pitiful life Since I am your earth's depression
Three long nails are enough Around to cover the wood When rusty thorns numb my senses
I taste sweetness of the crucifixion Let me bleed among the crown You can never give your face my pain
Upon death's mountain I wait for the stars I still feel the hungry touch of the sun Flames that burn my tortured barren skin
But the cross makes me strong For what I become I am your captive butterfly So high beneath the sky
And I close my sleepy eyes Fall with my thoughts and you To a forlorn red temple that cries For the lament of broken dreams and oaths
You've swallowed up the shiny fruits of my love The kisses that you've given were not honest Only your greed for mind devastation Slowly I kiss the final line of own self-righteousness
I hear and see the clouds cry - Your heaven's black water sigh
Inside this storm I am alone Like a useless stone that must atone Within a cold perdition's fire The doomed man underneath the salt of your tragedies mire
The Forsaken Earth
Unhallowed soil among feet and body Enslaved by the smoke of steel machines Inside a poison garden from god's hand My path way of nothingness Bitterness licks my wounds and my limbs When I look through the ruins of my streets When I pray for my dead brothers and sisters Without peace inside my confused mind
Painted in grey the barren fatherland Fallen with the failed king upon life's chessboard Like the proud warrior's hearts I am the last, I am the blood - I am the doomed man
My longest journey has just begun Inside a labyrinth of thorns and blood So far away from the human nature Deep within a tomb of atonement
With sorrow in these sleepy eyes I crawl away In the cold rain But carried by hope and faith
I follow - red rivers - full of despair To the gates of the hidden sun For my tomorrow without pain... without pain
Unhallowed soil among feet and body Enslaved by the smoke of steel machines Inside a poison garden from god's hand My path way of nothingness Bitterness licks my wounds and my limbs When I look through the ruins of my streets When I pray for my dead brothers and sisters Without peace inside my confused mind
I am the last - The isolation - The Blood - The Mourning - I am The forsaken earth
Unhallowed soil among feet and body Enslaved by the smoke of steel machines Inside a poison garden from god's hand My path way of nothingness
