His mind is getting close to insanity He stands vulnerable under the harshness of life "Once the future seemed by my side, how wrong I was Now I'm forced to walk this path towards the unknown" As he plunges into uncertainty, his past behind him He feels a heavy burden in his heart, the price of his deeds Swallowed by a coil of despair His instincts are gone like mourning birds He can't quell his torment Freezed up in my thoughts, my past is chasing me A burning feeling is piercing my mind with rage Enslaved by the void, reality and mind are falling to pieces I'm sought by fear, it holds me tight Inside of me my past is disturbing me My life must head for another way Inside of me I feel remorse corroding me As I make up my mind hope has come to stay "My spirit is dying slowly, once time ago the future seemed by my side" Misfortune's spoken your name "Poor fool bastard, I'm lost alone" No one shall hear your cries, like fading echoes in the night

In this time of despair When the lack of hope reigns my silence All I can do is look ahead And wait I keep my seeds close to my heart For it's the only thing now I have All my hopes rest in those seeds Which in time will grow into trees As I harvest my hopes Rain starts to fall on me My harvest is all I can see I praise the day when I will see All my seeds come to dreams Time to heal my wounds I drift away on the tides of oblivion Trying to hold onto my memories Fed by your reflections Which keep me sane

Which is the path we're walking? Have you ever looked back at your steps? Why is this inertia pushing us? Just a few questions in my head Sometimes it's just so hard to believe That everything could go on like this Perhaps I have made up my mind This can't go on, not like this Is this the price we pay for all these years? We all seem blind in front of this in retrospect We can see it's still the same Always cherishing this involution Pain, sorrow, self-destruction Starvation, war and corruption Why aren't gods stopping this bloodshed? There isn't any god left to pray Is this the price we pay for all these years? We all seemed blind in front of this in retrospect We can hope it won't be the same Always cherishing this involution Our steps have guided us to this point Where nothing seems clear and everything wrong So cultured in some ways and so coarse in others Am I the only one feeling like going back? Pain, sorrow, self-destruction Starvation, war and corruption Why aren't gods stopping this bloodshed? There isn't any god left to pray We can't be going backwards

Awaiting for the shadow my heart is beating weak On this coming eternal night my spirit is now in doubt Forever in this place my mind will find a place Where I shall escape from this darkened reality We wait now Below the sky Twilight comes Sun is hiding beyond my fear Who can tell now my uncertain destiny? Only warm fires will talk for me A starry sky is now calling for me In this twilight another dimension appears We wait now Below the sky Twilight comes We march with our feigned pride Deadly land like the most frozen mountain peak Who knows now, who knows Twilight? Should I believe in my life in these times? Beside the fire I see now forgotten dreams We wait now Below the sky Twilight comes The essence of mankind is found

You can't really escape your thoughts... Can you tell me oh friend of mine If you've ever seen the light If you've never touched time With your very hands? Can you affirm if the woods are real If your fate has guided you If at night your thoughts hunt you? Oh, my friend, I can Through the sorrow and the past, through the chaos in my mind You'll never understand, my freedom can't be touched Through the unknown lands of rain, on the dying greyish grass In a broken world I'm struggling because of my past Going now I find my escape Through a broken reality Tell me why the sun is cold Only here where I stand For a while I see my truth In the depths of my heart it lies Go now friend, tell I'm lost Wake me when winds change Beyond meaning of the pain, carving out forgotten life In extremes of thought reality is now mine I'm crossing a new born land with a stellar warming light I'm wandering only guided by my time
