IV - One With the Storm

Walking slowly, distilled blood designed to never fail. Sedate and pure, cold by choice, stylized pain, I am feeling blue. Lacerated and swallowed down below. I was fearless but now I'm screaming scared in nothingness, in this emptiness. So I let this void to fill up my heart! Of fire and endless resistance, where shadows bite like flames. They sing of fire and endless resistance, where echoes call your name. Medicated and ready to accept life as it comes and as it ends. Expectations and the highest of hopes, you're supposed to be happy... When everything around us is alive and green! Of fire and endless resistance, where shadows call your name. Of fire and endless resistance, where echoes bite like flames. Forevermore! Hollow men on hollow ground, crushed bones and bruising souls. Multiple substance abusers!

Today all colors are bleeding across the ocean, I am sorry I couldn't stay. How does it feel to own what you are, to unstitch your heart without causing a flood? To fall but never ceasing to believe in light taking over darkness, to breathe life in serenity? If only I knew how to forgive! If only I knew how to let go! If only I knew how to own what I am! Galaxies away, I am riding the waves of the lost. Lead this ship astray, make me hate you again. Fear, trust, guilt, love, in the grip of a coming storm. I am sinking under the weight of a troubled sun. When bitterness conquered the heart, and left us crawling in the cold. Screaming worth a lifetime with a voice of a follower. Always too soon, always too late. Screaming worth a lifetime with a voice of a follower. Always too soon, always too late, always in between. If only I knew how to forgive! If only I knew how to let go! If only I knew how to own what I am!

Could I be your light when you are afraid? Could I be the reason when you're asking why? I could be a mistress for your lonely nights, I would give you wings. I am the gateway to another life. You are on your way to a better place. Descending weight aroused by the warmth. Like a moth circles the lantern you are calling us like a drug. Everything is covered in white, you can hear the silence. Your heart stopped beating but you still keep walking. Feeling lighter than air, you are one with the sky. Now you understand you are a frozen star. Lower your armour, release the pain. Cry like a newborn, you are free again. There is no violence in surrounding darkness. There are no laws in this chaos of colours. This weary burden of eternal winter fading away Aurora...

A fiery rain is keeping me awake, with every drop killing another promise. Mind's drifting in nothingness, life in circles. And I know that not so long from now hope will conquer all. They said time heals, in a year or so you'll be alright. Time doesn't heal, it only makes you forget. Mind's drifting in nothingness, life in circles. And I know that not so long from now hope will conquer all. Tomorrow's a way out from all of my graves. Tomorrow's a way out from all of this. From all of my graves! With a thousand snakes at my feet I rise. With death in my eyes run with the speed of light. Until hope conquers all! A fiery rain is keeping me awake, with every drop killing another promise.

Slowly blinking light calls you home where your bloodline began, and where the meadows bathe in a cold morning sun. No place like other, it's so easy to breathe. And you felt the closeness of her, yet you knew she was long gone. Tied your eyes and the light won't hurt you, and kept the secret deep inside. Waiting for a closure, there is no remorse in your eyes. Only anger can keep you alive, and memories of a view from the past. No such thing as you are, unique creation from the heart. And I felt the closeness of you but I knew you were gone. Tied my eyes that the light wouldn't hurt me, and carried the secret inside. You tasted the venom, and felt the teeth and claws. Bared more than anyone dares, swayed between real and unreal. You tasted the venom, and felt the wipe and chains. Bared more than anyone, swayed between real and unreal. I fared open your mother's rib cage, took out her beating heart. Looked deep into her dying eyes, and asked was I ever worth of this? Freak of nature... You tasted the venom, and felt the wipe and chains. Bared more than anyone, swayed between real and unreal. Now you're here to show us why a broken heritage should never be shown. Now you are here to tell the secret why some things should never be born. Tear open your mother's rib cage, took out all her love. Looked deep into her dying eyes, and asked is this my price? Freak of nature...

Crawl my way through growl and crust, the hardest job I've ever had. Your heart is heavy but so is mine, as I swore to you once you're never gonna walk alone. Placing this image of a man in between stones and pillars. Deep in the shadows, armed and protected from curious eyes. I'll keep walking till my feet give out, any of my veins are dry like that wishing well. I still have purpose, one task to do, it's like wandering without a compass but I'm still searching for you. Misery, it is our curse, desperation! Feels like drowning in shallow waters, in between stones and pillars. Found some burned wood and six rusty nails, somehow I knew exactly what I'm supposed to do. Building this monument for us to remember, what was it like when there was peace. Misery, it is our curse, desperation! Feels like drowning in shallow waters. Misery, it is our curse, desperation!

In your dead city, there was never enough light for all of us. In your dead city, the absence of it's soul made me want to leave. Into the unknown, feel the fever piercing through your mind. Into the unknown, this is the last time you will ever see me burn. Let me drown to light with my ghosts! Only a few miles from home now, a rousing fire in my eyes. Closer to salvation, free from the weight of you. Let me drown to light with my ghosts, let me drown to light! Innocent lies, a love that never dies. Will you catch me when I fall? Crimson eyes, a light that never blinds. Promised to fight till I meet myself again. Innocent lies, a love that never dies. Will you catch me when I fall? Crimson eyes, a light that never blinds. Promised to fight till I meet myself again. Can't remember what it felt like the last time I left, unable to criticize. Can't remember what it felt like the last time I left, unable to compromise. Innocent lies, a love that never dies. Will you catch me when I fall? Crimson eyes, a light that never blinds. Promised to fight till I meet myself again.

Try to stand up, can't feel your feet. Trying to survive, you have no will to live. You want to get out, walk through that door. Too weak to seek for help but you know you have to try. Just one more time! Waiting for the end, or a change direction. Because you know you are ready to take everything you get. You get nothing done emotionally broken, you feel sick when you find out that your best friend is a liar. Like we all are! This is not the first time when I'm in this condition, and it's not the last time when I promise to change everything. Another year, another wasted season. A decent boy holds the line alone! Another day, another wasted hour. I'm standing on the edge of an open grave. Let the shovel sing! Squeeze all the anger into a box, seal it tight and bury it deep. Squash all your wisdom and light up the skies. Rub the blade till your fingers bleed, they preach about family and love. Yet in the end nothing's sacred, halos are fading. This is not the last time when I'm bound to take the step, and it's not the first time when I promise everything. This is not the first time when I'm in this condition, and it's not the last time when I promise to change everything. Another round, another empty bottle. That same boy tries to be a man. Another prayer, another pointless promise. I'm standing on the edge of anopen grave. Let the shovel sing! Spilling lies upon your father's grave, let the shovel sing!

When everything is said and done, and there's finally some time to breathe. You are overwhelmed by the calm, senses focused for the one and only you love. I keep you safe at any cost, you must keep moving on until everything is lost. There's nothing that could break us apart, no sudden moves to shake your ground. There's no one who could make you complete, you've got a long way to the graves. One lie could tear us apart, and one look could change everything. Even your heart! Fragile life can be lost in a flash! You have grieved enough, you have to stand up. There's nothing that could break us apart, no sudden moves to shake your ground. There's no one who could make you complete, you've got a long way to the graves.

Elämä on tulta, en jaksa enää juosta. Hakekaa minut pois täältä, tehkää päivistäni arvokkaita. Elämä on tulta, en jaksa enää juosta. Hakekaa minut pois täältä, tehkää päivistäni arvokkaita. Elämä, tulta, en jaksa enää juosta. Elämä, tulta, en kanna enää huolta.
