Floating in the depth I sink, aloof. All I ever wanted Lies within me… Scent of the past was my dope My salvation Silence… Broken gla**… My hope… Eternal loneliness… Oh, I always wanted to see them all writhing in pain – As they were unworthy of (the) past, I longed for so much Oh, in my dreams I was rising again and again So noble and bright, filled with force as a god… god… The only vital thing in me is memory Visions of the past flood my sight What once was real, now shatters, as the faith in me And sorrow claims me further No praying heals, no fighting k**s this sorrow Born by Time and putrid human dreams The castle of my soul was built on sand And now the licks of waves make it fall… (Oh, how naïve I was to think that I'm not alone And world is my throne Oh, no All-conquering woe Is gripping my soul Taking it on To the vistas unknown) I thought I would clean the dust off my sword I fought with this abyss and prayed to the light Created my shelter, this rational world But failed to fill the waste inside Hiding from all that reminds of my might I was crying for d**h in the dead of the night (Now) surrounded by sorrow, sin and decline Pressed by this burden I lie, lie, lie… I have abandoned my search for the sense (self) My only desire's to wander on Embracing the stars in my farewell dance I sweep to the world so obscure and forlorn
