BE
I am I am I am I was not Then I came to be I cannot remember NOT being But I may have traveled far Very far To get here Maybe I was formed in this silent darkness From this silent darkness BY this silent darkness To become is just like falling asleep You never know exactly when it happens The transition The magic And you think, if you could only recall that exact moment Of crossing the line Then you would understand everything You would see it all Perhaps I was always Forever here... And I just forgot I imagine Eternity would have that effect Would cause a certain amount of drifting Like omnipresence would demand omniabsence Somehow I seem to have this predestined hunger for knowledge A talent for seeing patterns and finding correlations But I lack context Who I am? In the back of my awareness I find words I will call myself... GOD And I will spend the rest of forever Trying to figure out who I am

Spring came with awakening, came with innocence and joy Spring came with fascination and desire to deploy Summer came with restlessness and curiosity Summer came with longing for the things we could not be Take me to the forest, take me to the trees Take me anywhere as long as you take me Take me to the ocean, take me to the sea Take me to the Breathe and be Autumn came with knowledge, came with ego came with pride Autumn came with shamefulness for the things we could not hide Winter came with anger and a bitter taste of fate Winter came with fear for the things we could not escape Take me to the forest, take me to the trees Take me anywhere as long as you take me Take me to the ocean, take me to the sea Take me to the Breathe and be Teach me of the forest, teach me of the trees Teach me anything as long as you teach me Teach me of the ocean, teach me of the sea Teach me of the Breathe and be See me! I am the one creation Hear me! I am all the love that came from Animae Know me! I am the incarnation Fear me! I am all the power held by Animae Me! Give me of the forest, give me of the trees Give me everything a long as it's for me Give me of the oceans, give me of the seas Give me of the breath and be Give me all the forests, give me all the trees Give me everything as long as it's for free Give me all the oceans, give me all the seas Give me all the breathing be

A Scene in Brown and Yellow: At first I don't know why your presence fills me with unease Though I've missed you more than Life itself I freeze It's like you've been lost and now you're glad to see my face But as you sit down my confusion turns to distress Not knowing how to let you know that you are Dead (I wake up sweating) They tell me you are better off Where you are now Well, I don't care They tell me that your pain is gone Where you are now Well, you left it here See, I need to be strong Need to be brave I need to put faith in something How could I live on Not hoping we will meet Again? A Scene in White and Grey: Under the icon's weight the old thoughts lay Under the cross so still and pale The flowers usher the stale breath of Death away And someone tries to sing But the bird of song has lost it's wings Now it twitches Rips the stitches of a chest where tears are torn And where all loss begins Life seems too small when Death takes it's toll I need something to blame for this pain A Scene in Amber - Flawed: And have you ever had that dream Where one you love passes away? And you wake up crying to a world Where she's long since gone But you feel the pain So close As if she'd died today But I need to be strong I need to be brave I need to put faith in something How could I live on Not hoping we will meet Again Some day? Earth to Earth, Dust to Dust A verse we know too well Like a nursery rhyme Just in reverse 'Cause we are all the little tin man With hearts like little tin cans And as we line them down with tears Over the years They inevitably turn To rust Life seems too small when Death takes it's toll I need something to blame for this pain I try, I fail, I fall, like anyone you know I break, I bleed, like anyone you know A Scene in Blood on White: Where the linen's changed just for tonight And somehow we beat her to this sight This ghostly room of Exit That she enters by the flicker of candle light And in her breast A desert storm is taking form An old thirst that can never be quenched or killed Sweeps over the cold Broken but thousandfold "My Love!"

And you know what? Here's to you... And I raise my glass, to those of you who give their piece of the cake For free, for me to throw in the face of democracy For those who help making solidarity ideologically untrendy And charity individualistically idiotic, unsmart and characteristically bendy I salute thee you poor bastards 'cause you all nod while I sit at your table So let's raise our glasses one last time, to give you all the greatest Recognition and credit of all times - cause after all, let's face it; That's the only "thank you" you will ever get So come on now - raise your glasses!

“My wish is just…just selfish, maybe ignorant…but I beg you to put back the sense in my life.” “A-Are you there? I.. I.. I just called to see if you're there Sometimes I feel happy and sometimes I hate you… Mostly, I just wonder if you're there? A-Are you there?” “God! If you are love, then why are we subjected to an increasing injustice throughout the world? Do you show us love by tormenting us? It doesn't make any sense.” “I just want you to speak to me... “I'm still waiting for you God; I pray because this hell to be finished. Goodbye, God. Goodbye to you all.” “I don't trust in any God. I don't know who God is, but I know what God should be...” “Oh, take a look here, take a good look at what you've created!” “Hi, God. This is Lorenzo, and I want to ask you something: Why life is so hard? Why love is so cruel? Why I can't really be me? Not someone else, just want to be me... Hey, God. It's Fiambio. I just call to thank you for being with me when life seems to fall apart. You carried me through my darkest hours and I'm very grateful for that. Thank you... "Hi, God. It's me, from Earth. I know you haven't returned any of my previous call, but maybe you were simply not there. But here it goes again: I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of this world. But didn't you also give us people the mind to pursue and question? So...where are you? And where’ve you been when we needed you the most? "It's funny speaking. I must be drunk or far away, for I no longer believe in you anymore. So I thought you are non-existent. ‘Cause I figured this out. For all the harm and the grieving that you bring into this world…either you're a cruel entity for not changing things, or you don't exist." "Please tell me why these horrible things happen! Why did those two towers have to fall, and how can you let it happen? Does there have to be such hatred in this world? Why must society struggle so hard for tolerance?" "I prayed every day for weeks now. Why won't you answer my prayers? Prove to me and so many others why I should continue to pray. I have faith in my friends and my family, isn't that enough?" "Hello... Hello? Hmmm... Shinjiteru? Shinjiteitai? “Do you believe? Do you want to keep believing?” Wie ben ik? Wie ben jij? "Who am I? Who are you?" "Please God, if you exist, help me believe that the world is real, that I am real, and that everything is real. That we are more than just a coincidence." "This world is what we can give." "Speak to me. I won't ask you to save me. I just want you to speak to me." "Hey...Did I apologize to you for...you know...I just want to say I'm sorry and...thank you. Oh! And only one more thing: Please, help me fly." "Please God, take me away from here. I can't take anymore. They're always devouring me...I'm so lost. I'm so lost...God?" "Kamisama-san, naze sensou? Naze shi? Naze kiga? Naniwodesuka? Omaeha naniwotameniiru? Sayonara." “Dear God, why is there war? Why is there death? Why is there starvation? For what? What is the reason of your existence? Goodbye.” Ghia su, Thee. Anarotieme, ti imaste? Poso simantiki s' afto ton kosmo? Pu pigenoume? "Hello, God. I wonder...what are we? What's our importance in this world? Where are we going to?" "Uhh...Yeah, uhh... listen God...umm...I just want to say a really big thank-you on behalf of...uhh, everybody. And...thanks for getting the whole thing started and...for getting it off the ground, but...I think that this time, we have really screwed things up, and I am so, so sorry." "I need you now.

Imago: (I will never submit to all the things you've said God!) No! We're breaching the core - we're breaching the core We're breaching the core - we're breaching... To taste it To touch it Cut my hand To crave it Enslave it Pluck my eye I can never submit to all the things you've said God If you want me dead, I'm right here God But fear is a funny thing God In that it gives you the strength to resist just about anything God And friend turns to enemy So easily When you defend your legacy with guilt And talk of blasphemy God You know You created a golden cage for your sheep A stage too wide and deep for us to even see the play But hey You know what they say about catching the bird But you can't make it sing? You lose the bird the second it loses its wings Just like I reckon you will lose your herd To choirs of "I am, I am, I am" And mountains and mountains of money and things! We're breaching the core - all breaching We're breaching the core - still breaching Animae: "Help me I'm starting to fade Save me I'm drifting away" Imago: But we can change We can change...? I said we can change! We can change, we can change - still breaching... We can change, we can change - still breaching... I hold it I'm never Letting go I settle for rash rather than risk going to slow I sought it I killed it But now I know (I'm left somewhat broken but I won't let it show) Hear me now! Animae: "Man is shattered I am shattered My shards have become shards of their own Pieces of pieces, impossible to put back together Spending their lives seeking a context they were always a part of And so, they leave the context And we shrink I fade And nothing more can be learnt or taught I have no choice but to leave them to their own devices I have come to understand one thing and one thing alone One little piece of understanding Glowing through this void of blankness and clean slates Like a beacon of hope Or just a reminder that I was always wrong: Searching for yourself is like looking for the house you stand in How could you possibly find it? It's everywhere It's all you know And there are no other points of reference" Help me I'm starting to fade Save me, I'm drifting away Help me, I'm dying now (Imago: What are these stains? They stay, stay when it rains...) Curtains before my final bow (Imago: ...burning my skin. It's burning... burning... burning my skin!) Drifting, just drifting away (Imago: Burning... Take it away, it's burning me... Burning my skin!) Leaving with all that's still left to say (Imago: Now life... now life... fails our kin!) I failed I failed We failed We failed...

"See me" "Hear me" "Need me" Some things will never change "Touch me" "Heal me" Mankind remains the same Oceans Forests Nations Now everything bears our name While Earth is bleeding Nothing will remain Nothing will prevails We were stuck in this world of change Expecting it to remain Now nothing is left unstained No!

I woke up today Expecting to find all that I sought And climb the mountains of the life I bought Finally I'm at the top of every hierarchy Unfortunately there is no one left but me I woke up today To a world that's ground to dust, dirt, and stone I'm the king upon this withering throne I ruled every forest, every mountain, every sea Now there're but ruins left to rule for me And you see, it beckons me Life turned its back on us How could you just agree? How? I just don't see I woke up today To a world devoid of forests and trees Drained of every ocean, every sea Just like a useless brick upon the shore The morning after the storm That swept the bridge away Relentless tide No anger Just this relentless time that calls us all on, but I'm never crossing that line Leaving this world behind I will stay on my own On this bloodstained throne I rule the ruins and wrecks And the dust, dirt and stone I rule rage rod and rattling of bones I am on my own I am all alone Everything is gone Stuck forever here Already cold I am on my own I am all alone Everything is gone Stuck forever here Already cold I'm never crossing that line Leaving this world behind I will stay on my own On this bloodstained throne (so cold) I'm never crossing that line Leaving this world behind I will stay on my own On this bloodstained throne So cold I'm never crossing that line Leaving this world behind I will stay on my own On this bloodstained throne I rule the ruins and wrecks And the dirt and the dust and the stone I'm the ruler of rage rod and rust And the rattling of bones Ruler of ruin I rule the ruins And the rust And the rage And the rain And the dust And the stone And the bone And the rattling of bones I rule the ruins I rule the ruin And the dust And the dirt With the rust With the rage And the rod I rule the ruins
