The Oblivion Circle

So I send a silent wish From the borders of this mind For winter to hurry Though sound of rain comforts from outside With burning candles Vanity is long gone here Considering nights like these are many Something moves and leads deeper to meet one self Mere drop in the ocean Four flames light the mirror Marks the sun and the moon I am aware invoking life by those who invoke death Will reach it without a doubt Perhaps now I have a clue What they meant when they said in my dreams; "There are many ways to exist in this mortal world" Believe in the process to born again Believe in the process to born again Will reach it without a doubt Perhaps I have a clue What they meant when they said in my dreams; "There are many ways to exist in this mortal world" And press my palm against my scars

Aspire now, diving through divine pain Traces of reality expanding when We walked silently in our own thoughts There was no grave to grant us rest Still as conquerors of brave new worlds As flowers ripped out from the dirt We declared; "Cursed be the Dream!" That allows us not to see Cast a shadow over mankind and reveal… ...the dream! As women searched their mothers and daughters As men searched their fathers and sons The unions of humanity, screaming, reaping fire That burns in the heart of all who seek To bear the flame, and burn the hollow temples To keep the key, see a shallow world To experience the water, to float to other levels To hold the dagger, and stab the eyes of a blind god To crush moulds, let the tidal waves of sacred blood flow When absence proves the addictions We left wondering, where we came from? From stargardens of misery? And it will hurt, pain takes many disguises Long deep tunnel, where from concrete walls Light reflect from water drops White faces twisted in grotesque paintings Speak words from ancient mouths And the light and the darkness Where it shines from, is not end nor beginning Yet from the source it is glowing through and within Shattered and completed, something we call existence And then we walk proud Challenging death To break the mirror The renaissance beyond flesh

In the womb, surrounded by white noise Of a faceless world, that has bled so many cycles Mirrors unseen, for human emotions so fragile The seed of the earth, only taken small steps to transform And over the silence, the voice is strongest Death is unavoidable, death is a gate Reaching beyond the walls, to overcome all chemical sleep Death is unavoidable, death is a gate The waves of energy, insights and rituals to the ghosts To create from collective, mental creations Our life-spans, burning quicker But the sands of time, draw closer All truths hidden, behind all words written Death is unavoidable, death is a gate To be discovered, beneath the burning feathers Death is unavoidable, death is a gate Distance in words and deeds Hiding from weakness Blindfolded by needs Dreams of love and fear we see Overwhelming to offer, to drink a wine of blood Death is unavoidable, death is a gate From the shadow, from our own hands Death is unavoidable, death is a gate

Night time, my friend, fallen again Like it did the first time Can you feel it coming in? Through the walls, opening Passing memories, they are here Creeping through the corridors The body, the mind and the heart Seeing through doors of perception To dreams made of both; to dreams Shadows and suns raging sparks Closer the vision, unaware or awaken Reality disappears, removed and replaced Pulled fast upwards the ceiling A spiral of time without human meaning It repeats; a night time, my friend A perfect labyrinth within the circles Noises not the way they used to sound To remind us of the escape from the ever-sleeping ground To dreams made of both; to dreams Shadows and suns raging sparks Penetrate the led and ether Beyond the fragile rooms of earth Imprisoned and bound to illusions To depart by hours of my rebirth

Few steps closer, yet further away Trying to leave, yet still you stay Empty words, with no meaning Hear my echo, yet not what I’m saying You deny my denial, within your skin Deny control, and live in sin Leave no trace, as you walk Death comforts, with death you talk Turn blind eye for that fake smile The past won’t hide it’s scars With shaking hands you try to open the knot With the thought of vivid tomorrow Appearing as a dream It is here to harvest and redeem Stay still for awhile and examine what is left Of your dreams from yesterday Fade into the air With empty stare To starry skies above Reminding you`re alone Weakened by light, suffocated by control The hell within brakes loose, after those words Come drown in me For eternity First touch is cold Then you’ll feel warm Leave no trace, as you walk Death comforts, with death you talk Fade into the air With empty stare To starry skies above Reminding you`re alone

Flashback of memories Brought a deep silence Reminds how the calms before the storms From a glow of old stars From the times of hidden scars We rang then the bells of our childhood Yet darkness took and death opened doors Rooms we dare not to give names In time trapped and flowing million dreams How I wish this is real Beyond any fantasy How I fear this is real, the mask of reality I hear the echoes Worlds within the world The evergreen winter breeze The ocean of all funeral pyres I hear the echoes Worlds within the world Cycle of stars, ages and alignments With echoes that went to search Earthbound if we are dreaming? still asleep in eternal wait ...to feel the weight of existence

Been staring the walls So sick of all the poison Chains within still binding Stains of rust and aching cold Divine ecstasy glowing shadow impulses In the womb of mundane turmoil The choice is ours to keep our demons In absurd world like this As fearmongers play their pitiful games Nothing but weakness of this plane Their master as the chains are chosen Chains are chosen And family shadows, they grow taller Inside the central sun calm and still Darkness don’t keep us Something within ourselves Keeping blind addictions In time and place and free of them Walked through these fields Still insecure I felt Through the woods I ran Just to get away from the sun Never learning to live In a world of light It’s enough to survive In a world ruled by night Through years of chaos This trail made of wars Refuse to follow the sign Sworn nothing but death to all Stain my hands with blood Of the mind’s I touch This trail made of death Still waiting for more to take And to feast on their mind All humanity will forsake Accept my force, my power Fall under my will

These gnawing hours of darkness Descending pressure, so it is dark now Demons of emptiness gather, they smile Cast a glimpse of what some call evil Somehow the rain falls colder Somehow the rain falls colder Behind the veil, something familiar So deep, so wounded, too much to bear To understand when the flames burn to dust We must enter the room and let one shine to rust Then the roads leading further somewhere Losses transform to sorrow As dwellers on the thresholds, all remaining from us Memories we leave to grow on their hearts Somehow the rain falls colder Somehow the rain falls colder Behind the veil, something familiar So deep, so wounded, too much to bear To understand when the flames burn to dust We must enter the room and let one shine to rust Beyond our reach we lay our eyes On that pain clairvoyance to mortality And we raise a word to utter These fires so bright, we leave a farewell Even if we’ve met before,in dreams, space and time What did we feel, on these poor and barren mortal grounds By the story, when our ways depart Now as we speak and mourn at your Final Sleep Yet, somehow We’ll meet again And until then Journey well
