Burden of Life
Single • 2020
In gigantum umeris Shouldering giants while giants are shouldering me Evocare daimones My legacy’s summoning ghosts claiming inadequacy Nothing compares nothing comes close Hollow nonsense is all I compose Lucem ferre tenebris Frantically begging for memories to lead me to the light Desperare carmini This desperate poem must not be the last words I write Nothing comes about in this prostrated state Meaningless drivel is all I create A glimmer of hope A blaze in these days of despair Converting the rope Rekindling the romance that wrecked you beyond all repair Fabulas repetere I feel like I’ve told all these stories before Ardens siti anima And my thirsty mind craves for the torrents to pour A glimmer of hope A blaze in these days of despair Converting the rope Rekindling the romance that wrecked you beyond repair You live to create and creations are weighing you down Some days you are king and some days you are cursing your crown Leads: Schafberger/Kötterl Who can get me out of this hell? With the millions of stories I’ve yet to tell Who can turn this lead into gold? Turn these words into stories that need to be told Out of this hole into a new day My life is a work of art here to stay Out of this hole and into another day My art is way of life and here to stay A glimmer of hope A blaze in these days of despair Converting the rope Rekindling this romance that wrecked you and ruined you Led you to nowhere A glimmer of hope A blaze in these days of despair Converting the rope Rekindling the romance that wrecked you beyond all repair You live to create and creations are weighing you down
