We Had It Coming
Icarus, your presence imperceptible Your wings abandoned, cynically, so desperately undone My son, my blood, I can't recognize you anymore What made you frightened? What changed you whole? Delightful winds that could take us all away from here Don't blow out the mist around Don't make the air more clear Delightful winds don't make the sky more clear Mist that separated us That covers the edge that doesn't allow us to fly Without a right for my perilous try If I deserved it I would find the way to die Icarus, what happened there my son? Your life incomplete, morbidly, so desperately undone I can hardly recognize the flesh spread right before me What made you soar so high? Why did you rush decisions? Delightful wind carried you up there under the sky Blew out the mist and lifted you amazed in awe and brightness My son, you were too close and too fast Too eager to know the heavy truth that threw you down Mist that separated us That covers the edge that doesn't allow us to fly Am I held captive for the rest of time? What if the mist's a product of deluded mind? Water makes things heavier Heat will melt your wings Nothing's what you'll ever learn With eyes blindfolded facing sky in fear Mist that separated us, that separated us The edge that doesn't allow us to fly

Why couldn't I find a verse about the mothers who In front of the gates don't allow me to use my key and enter? Far before I beheaded their firstborn my grave was dug Now put my corpse to sleep Give me a child and I'll give you a man Able to form it, I'll mold it like clay Give me your child, I will give you a man With shapeless water I will pour your vase Would you...? Would you drink the cup that I'm about to drink? Would you do that for me? As you have learned just give simple pray for those Who stand against the heavy rain in a thin and filthy coat Give me a child and I'll give you a man Able to form it, I'll mold it like clay Give me your child, I will give you a man With shapeless water I will pour your vase That's only one way road No turning back at all If you do not conquer self You will be conquered by self With stones on my neck and sourness in mouth You could teach me the weight, the taste of this world

I saw a monster, the lion up high Spreading his mane, glowing with embers and flames Raised his head above the clouds So I behold a shallow, littleness of mine If radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky That would be-- Then I heard a thunder, a squeak of birds of prey Revelation to all corners of this dormant world A choir of those who burn So I behold a mockery of all pitiful victors' songs If radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky That would be like the splendor of the mighty-- I am become death I am become destroyer The destroyer of worlds I felt its blow, a hit of giant dragon claw Knocking down to the knees, life ceases to exist The view like a mirror, reflection of mine It’s not me anymore, it’s not me I am become death (The destroyer of...) I am become destroyer (I am become...) The destroyer of worlds If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once That would be like splendor of the mighty, of the mighty one For I am become death I am become destroyer The destroyer of worlds

Might be the borderline, the last time you ever hear from me I can't risk to find out how much is more than I can take It isn't real, the whole process, it's wearing me out Starving myself works wonders, but it's the only life I have Despair to get out before lies melt away To get through before I'll understand why we keep to remember What drives us insane Locked inside a house set ablaze Counting blisters I watch you from there and I wait, I wait Back stab the shame Then breathe, breathe, breathe the relief Salt, salt bathe the wound And scrape, scrape, scrape the fuck out of it Whole world is going to change Towards delusion we roam Right where we stand I can't stand the hoax Whole world's going to change I should have listened to you Right where we stand We are trapped for good Months into years like centuries Made of days spent in fire, a lesson of misery To cope with regrets of destructive collapse This place will always be the stronghold of lies Back stab the shame Then breathe, breathe, breathe the relief Salt, salt bathe the wound And scrape, scrape, scrape 'Cause it's the only life you have

A phantom that wanders and haunts, gently absorbing the strength Distaste of inhuman measures, yet bonded with awe Monstrosity dressed in secrets and gestures, this knowledge embraced Canvas is dripping with gray and delusion, the reason, it's dead You had it coming for ages, you've brought this upon yourself Degrading self-pity is what you deserve, come ruin and break For god's sake, it's now or it's never, it's taking so long Pressure determines the way the things work, home and what it means now Cycle broken beyond repair, the ebbs of rejoice and flows of regret Tearing apart the land of deception, the reason is dead, the reason is dead You had it coming for ages, you've brought this upon yourself Degrading self-pity is what you deserve, now ruin and break I avoid what I already know I avoid what I already know I avoid what I already know This void is all left to know

Whose name for echoes to carry How glorious the sacrifice Those flags couldn't care less for honor These men don't know yet they're gone Shotguns moan in the distance So we know you arrived Couldn't say we've been waiting Couldn't help but invite Battalions at the edge of frontier Armed yet sweetly defenseless Repressions assigned with no order Until we decide Until we decide to Strike you down and your terrible mistake Strike, into arms of destruction you rush, you rush The disintegration, sad fall of all nations Into arms of destruction you rush "Day five. We're spineless. December the 4th to crawl, suiciders..." Aggression suppressed Warmongers turned pale Watch the self-feeding beast with ten thousand mouths Discord, dissent Thousands of earthquakes Made us great undertakers Watched the life being born Watched it growing old No threat out there, for we are the keepers Won't make through the night, won't make out alive You won't make it to dawn that could point you the way out We are the keepers, we run the sky Dismembered chrome soldiers, neglected, withdrawn Sleeping grounds, so very ours Grounds so ours The disintegration, sad fall of all nations Into arms of destruction you rush, you rush Strike you down, your terrible mistake Strike, into arms of destruction you rush

They're everywhere, they don't know yet they've seen it through I must not be exposed, can never rest 'cause no one rests In this day and age can't let myself be caught off guard like that I look beyond the dimmest light, there's more conspiracy than truly meets the eye Desensitized to every feeling ever known to men Except for fear and caution and panic and paranoia I walk into the shadows land Where guilt continues and spans for aeons Too obsessed to stop I'll never get caught Chain of consequence locks Given up all the effort to concentrate on anything Other than the aftermath of vanity Footsteps, whispers wreck my ears I step into a typhoon, cyclone, blast of persecution and insanity Too obsessed to stop I'll never get caught Chain of consequences tightens around my neck

It's not a place for lightness Blackness immersed it all Shroud yourself in grimness It perfectly fits your pale mouth Just put out the candle It's easier than feeding the fire Don't let anybody find you Abandon all hope who enter inferno Who seek for blackness eternal Tar – blood of the earth Stench of rot growing for years Touch up all remorse with that So blissful is mind when painted black Filthy is more genuine So serious and so real Like the world on the edge No details, no taste Abandon all hope who enter inferno Ye who seek for filth eternal Surrender and withdraw Who seek for noise eternal Abandon all hope Abandon all Abandon all Silence means no control Silence terrifies us most Don't listen to those who claim to know better Bring conscience up short Wipe order out once and for all Abandon all hope who enter inferno Who seek for blackness eternal Ye who bless unintelligence Who seek for solace
