The Bearer of All Storms
I forged a door of shattered smiles My fingers pierced by splinters of love past Where there's a door there must be a key That lets me creep outside these clouds at last I am the skin, I am the scar The fleshy tapestry draped upon the walls Of my dreams, a sphere of stitches Barely containing all the storms I bear within I hold my breath, plunge into my dreams A faceless figure sandblasted with rust Here I'm unborn, here I am safe Yet to be made a lump of tears and dust A thread of metal in my hand So strangely warm, caught in a grip so cold Is this salvation? Is this the long awaited end Of all my torments? Is this a key that I hold? I stormed outside my hungry eyes Were opened wider than a gashing wound And I was blinded yet not by light But by a shroud of darkness misery and gloom

Wherever I may briefly glance I find my kin bound in trance... Lily crowns on dissembler heads... And souls that hide black dreads. I preached like I'd never preach again, As a dying man amongst dying men: Only the actions of the just Smell sweet and blossom in the dust! Deprive a man of his rank and pride Keep only the sorrow in his heart You will find a new summit of despair As he struggles, hopelessly, on and on.... It is now the twilight of my dreams, Onward towards an eclipse it seems, The hope of day is gone and far, I fall from the sky like the Morning Star. As I speak, the deepest chambers of my heart Are flooded with an agony which Not only consumes, but drives me To seek a land beyond, the limitations of slumber... I've met death in the eyes of men And in the whispering leaves, But nowhere near as often than In the silence of the heart. Will the storms ever stop? It feels as all the forces are against me Constantly torn between despair and calm The struggle stretches ever long Left only with anguish to numb pain Abandoned in life with a shrieking sorrow Being deprived of happiness so many years Can bring even the giants to their knees The dawn is drowning in foreboding omens

Trapped behind the Sun My grandeur mocked by solitude Struggling bereaved of all joy Dreaming of an impossible chance I suffocate yet I live And can't get rid of this curse because In this prison of aspirations My hands are tied by hope The knell of my forsaken dreams Screeches through fallen sand Deep underneath serene streams Where decomposed wishes stand I feel the pain from my world Crushing my soul in its grip How pathetic have we become Lost in dead poets' words Curse this rotten pendulum of doubt! How can I strive through this life Aware that my only remaining trust Is knowing that I shall find hope? Just a tiny speck of dust In a desert of nothingness No purpose behind the struggle For we're all mirrors of flesh What if death is my escape to infinity What if, cleansed of filthy hope, I seize this key What if i become a shadow or i rot? Still, my dreams cannot live on when I am not It is certain that life has no meaning But we live as if it has one

Love it when you slither down My neck you numb me and you take me back When it didn't hurt Keep my bottle full Mordant liquor burning yet so wet I'd let you flow inside till death Mesmerize me Clear yet hazy No waters can drown me No needles can sew my lips No fume can cloud me No being can silence my voice You can't deny our self You will never erase me I am, have always been And shall always be you Blindfolded we enthuse in addiction Lured by deceiving gifts Into a clouded realm Of illusionary pleasures For every moment of joy A thorn pierces my skin For every burst of laughter A chain smothers my neck Break my heart apart Tear me into a thousand pieces Make me your slave All that it takes to be with you Rape my soul Shatter my love again and again Push me towards insanity All that it takes to be near you Bind me up in chains Yet don't leave me to rot But come back and spit on me All that it takes to stay alive Now burn, my desire And scorch all my limbs Asphyxiate me in smoke Make me yours Love has always been a lie You can go ahead and try But in the end it's all the same It's just another madman's game You can't deny our self You will never erase me I am, have always been And shall always be you Mesmerized we long forever For the long gone warmth So we happily throw ourselves In the arms of whores once more In these times of calvary I find reliance behind the distance That is only a footstep away From our cursed reunion... This binding pestilence Is now my only reliance All roads seem to lead here My strength lies writhing in blood With all the weight of the past And these dreadful storms upon me It's the only gleam of light Inside this empty hole You may pierce your flesh But that won't take me out I am the purging fire You can't extinguish with blood You can't deny our self You will never erase me I am have always been And shall always be you This pale world holds nothing more Than deceiving icons Hypnotic and frail it shall remain Forever a fool's conquest In absolute grace I swirl As this epitome of madness seems to persist Deluded, I wander towards redemption Only to get lost in malicious tales

From the pit of lies I rise in wrath My clenched fists Bring thunder onto the world The flesh shall break Through rusty smiles And you will all perish Swallowed by the deluge I watched it all burn And as I rewind again I see no open arms But a gathering of fists A nail through your skin For every lie you've shed A drop of tar in your eyes For every stab in the back Until the day I'll be no more The gates of my heart shall be shut A burning wish to see thy kingdom Erased forever, boiling in bile Every hero is a coward Drunk with fear, reckless Blind with hope, mad Thrusting towards danger Through thorns of roses Your sympathy pushes me down In trenches marching towards A meaningless death in lies Your shriveling, hypocrite smiles Cannot bring the Sun back to life, Light has always been a sweet lie In the endless nightmare that blinds us

Plânge glia de dorul meu Și vrea să mă cuprindă Privind la ea acum Pricep unde mi-e locul Plânge glia de dorul meu Și mă roagă disperată Să ne unim într-unul singur Pe veci ca altădată Veștejit-au flori de stele în blestemata furtună, Putrezit-au mii de stârvuri imprejuru-mi cunună. Sărutat-m-au mii de vise pe fruntea-mi lividă, Amăgit-m-au țeluri sure în pustietate aridă. Ruptă mi-e spada și țip... Printre buze zăvorâte cu rune. Orice vis se pierde-n ramuri De coroană funerară, sugrumat Și chemarea pământului, sfarmă amuțirea timpului. Un vaiet cumplit de dor ...de dorul meu. Dar iată că s-arată, iar în suflet vijelia, Și-aud apoi cum plânge după mine aprig glia, Urlând aspru, sus sub cruce bocetul respingător, Și lăsând aievea-n urmă cumplit dangăt răsunător. O viață-ntreagă am fost Prizonier în moarte vie Speranța mi-i cușcă Iar frica mi-i zăvor Iar acum, când disper, Un singur lucru mai doresc. Curmându-mi viața și chinul auster Poate-n sicriu o să zâmbesc! Cumplite furtuni mă apasă Rânjind ironic neîncetat, Cântecul lor acum se varsă Peste tabloul meu neterminat. Zdrențuit și gri s-arată cerul Sugrumându-mă cu țelul veștejit. Necrotic mă străpunge violetul Cu visul meu neîmplinit. Unde se termină zorii Mi-e viitorul și locul Deasupra-mi stau sângerii norii Și mă copleșește potopul Tremură pendulul oscilând Pentru ultima oară Cheia din pumnul încleștat În pământ mă coboară Și așa, alături de mine, întunericul dispare pe veci

Will requiems be sung for me Or will a bitter silence encompass all? Will immortality be mine Or shall I drown inside the void? The skin i have once lusted for vanished Right from my grasp Time has come for the skin I am rotting in To turn to dust The lips that I kissed now smear poison On my sullen face Time has come for a faithful, silent And deadly embrace Dear earth, embrace me! Caress me with indifference I do not regret my choice For there is no reason to cry When there was none for laughter Dear earth, embrace me!
