Compassion Forlorn

Watching smothered souls through my eyes From within my pain won’t leave Singeing way deep down, far inside Nothing reaches, nothing helps My eyes cannot see No regret inside me Is there anyone who can cause the pain to flee? Hearing my silence become my inner crumble Now I watch innate compassion furnish primal hate Watching searing souls through my eyes From within my pain won’t leave Singeing way deep down, far inside Nothing reaches, nothing helps I now live out my deepest hell How far have you gone? Find me, I am lost Is there anyone who can cause a change in me?

Hey, why do you care, fool? Returned to you, is nothing but dust Imagine he is kind, the man who carries light Believes in filthy mortals, all these things pass him by Remembering what it means to wholly sacrifice Is there day or only night? Now fall to your face – it’s your damnation Taking all you have, demanding more Insatiable, you shall reap what you sow It’s all your fault! Imagine he is kind, the man who carries light Believes in filthy mortals, all these things pass him by Remembering what it means to wholly sacrifice Is there day or only night? No one makes me calm Please, I’d throw my life away Swallowed tears, I’m on my own... It’s your fault! Now fall to your face – it’s your damnation Taking all you have, demanding more Insatiable, you shall reap what you sow It’s all your fault! Fault! Fault! No one makes me calm I’d throw my life away

You can’t carry on your smile You can’t carry on your smile One fist breaks the window So scared now... I can’t find, find the truth about you Your soul is full, full of ambition I must escape to survive in this life But now it’s the time to implore redemption You can’t carry on your smile You can’t carry on your smile How long will you stay in my land? Hatred is becoming my last way of restitution The looters are stealing our illusions, all our miracles The looters are all coming to dominate our lives And to depreciate all that we’ve yearned for Inside my body, I feel sparks Meanwhile I’ll never accept decline I couldn’t find, find the truth about you I was that man, now I’m feeling internal rage Should I run or should I stand, stand and fight? I cannot leave... your fate to chance

Poisoned flowers, broken vows, glowered stares Injected madness taking over, now dead to the world You see me as someone else A mere shadow of former self And now niceties fade away No excuses, I am to blame I am empty deep inside Hesitation made me unified I now bleed as someone else, A mere shadow of former self, no excuses It now reaches the very depth of me Complete loss of sanctity The sickness for eternity From where I am, from where I stand I am now I am now not the one in command Rights are thine, with closed eyes I’m unified Rights are thine, I am unified! I am empty deep inside Hesitation made me unified All I can see are just simple minds None are caring we are blind...

Way back when I could see A burning brush inflamed a tree But I’m running from the fire Now the flame encircles me This scene scathes into memory Now it’s all coming back Run, run away from delusive eyes But I face now flame and cries Run away from delusive eyes Hide your face from fire’s lies Run, run away from delusive eyes But I face now flame and cries Run away! I’m trying to rise again! Those around me, those before me I cannot now trust anyone My face now falls back to the mud As far back as I can see My broken legs buckle under me But I’m running from the fire Now the flames encircle me I try, but fall again down to my knees Now it’s all coming back... Run! Now I relive my horrid sorrow Run! There will be no more tomorrow Run, run away from delusive eyes But I face now flame and cries Run away! I’m trying to rise again!

Tear my flesh out, rip it from my bones In rage my blood burns red I’ll die a savage death Beat in my head with heavy stones Regret and pain, my head in shame I watched him die and did nothing To live while he just passed away Break my bones, give me the blade Slash my throat and seal my fate Throw me in a hollow grave Regret and pain, my head in shame I watched him die and did nothing To live while he just passed away Break my bones, give me the blade Slash my throat and seal my fate Throw me in a hollow grave Take me! Vida que és meva, que és com un raig dins de la mar Regret and pain, my head in shame I watched him die and did nothing To live while he just passed away Break my bones, give me the blade Slash my throat and seal my fate Take me! Take me! And seal my fate! Take me now! Take me! Take me!

Far away from what I know I am trading a life for a life Every day I’m looking down How long does it take to get there? I will just rest for a while Every day I’m dying Rise completely And I will help you to understand I am trying to rescue everything And my life falls from my hands Your is just beginning For though my belief in humanity fails Amidst a darkening field of blueing hues My body dies calmly, my skin turns yet pale I know I will live on through memories true (Quod fuerim ultimum) For all that I feel will live on! Far away from what I know I am trading a life for a life Every day I’m looking down Take me away from what I know I am trading a life for a life Every day I’m dying Rise completely And I will help you to understand I am trying to rescue you everything And my life falls from my hands I don’t trust the wind or rain To carry my message away My heart is written in stone I am sorry I could not stay Now I am fading My spirit arise...

Calla, Azbe, i escolta Aquest silenci vast, ferit d’aromes i colors terribles Ara és el temps que els arbres s’equivoquen I els ocells, desesmats, mosseguen les tres cares de la nit Ningú no resa dins la casa dels somnis Ningú no cau pels escalons del cel I la precisa maquinària del temps Fulgent prodigi de peces i engranatges Va girant de cap enrera, roent, xerriquejant Torna la llet a les sines pansides Lentament la carn es despodreix I les arbredes arrelen cap al cel La llum retorna cap al sol Passat la lluna (...passat la lluna...) I un déu de pedra sura sobre el mar Calla, Azbe, i escolta Aquest silenci vast Tu i jo, dolça i tràgica Azbe Encara no hem nascut Now is when all nature dies Human nature darkens skies When all is lost I look to you (and you alone) I seek shelter from the rain All I have done I’ve done for you (And you can’t live with that) You want everything that I am Back in a time when things were dark (a veil of dim obscurity) From the mould of clay we came to earthen jars of weariness From where we came to where we are (Bodies of life to veins of vinegar) We were so pure, where are we now? (Faith in man forfeits its lure) Punctured by smells and fierce colors (White hot, streaking, shining in the sky) One last streak until I die (White hot, streaking, shining in the sky) White hot, streaking, shining in the sky (White hot, streaking, shining in the sky) You mean all to me (White hot, streaking, shining in the sky) (White hot, streaking, shining in the sky) One last streak until I go (White hot, streaking, shining in the sky) You mean all to me that... (White hot, streaking, shining in the sky) You mean all to me that... [English translation (1st half):] Shut up, Azbe, and listen this vast silence wounded from terrible aromas and colours. Now is the time when trees go the wrong way and birds, led astray bite the three faces of the night. Nobody prays in the house of dreams. Nobody falls from heaven’s stairs. And the precise machinery of time, dazzling wonder of pieces and gears is spinning backwards red hot, screeching. Milk returns to its withered breasts, flesh unrots slowly and groves root up to the skies. Light goes back to the sun leaving the moon behind and a stone god floats over the sea. You and I, sweet and tragic Azbe, we are not born yet.
