To the Orphic Void
Beyond the walls where waves collide There's a fire burning, Burning with perfection 'neath the flesh Inside the halls, my mind declines There's an illusion failing, But she's trying hard to shape my way (of thinking) She's the one who built this prison I'm the one who broke inside And against myself, I made my stand Then I tried to cross the waters to become invisible And without my flesh, I lost the way Beyond the bridge, a distant cloud There's a noise so silent Hearing nothing can be loud as well In the end, I see the waters There's a light, it's shining! But I am afraid that now it's too late She's the one who built this prison I'm the one who broke inside And against myself, I made my stand Then I tried to cross the waters to become invisible And without my flesh, I lost the way Time, you see, is slipping away undoing a wall of sand, come... Time, you feel, is releasing the self your trip is about to start, come... Some memories fade and so does my soul

With (my) mind unclouded I pierce the light With a broken heart, I welcome darkness With soul enslaved and feathered hand I become the path without beginning nor end You let this sickness grow inside One seed that makes a forest And embraced the night in the death of the day I reach the crest of light. I reach the crest of pain I died and watched it flow, the body... futile Mysterious devotion just to set our own destruction (But) the mask I wear was mine I am a child of Earth and starry Sky Tell the gods here I am: the Bacchic One I'll descend and walk through this decay And with an Orphic voice I'll unravel my illusions I reach the crest of light. I reach the crest of pain I died and watched it flow, the body... futile Mysterious devotion just to set our own destruction (But) the mask I wear was mine The mask I wear was mine Esa máscara es mía Masken jag bär var min

Where do I belong? When do I belong? Maybe the silence will remain In my constant soul, as an unwanted friend The flesh has to fall and the vessel has to rot Pushing this life to a written end To the Orphic void, resetting time I made up my mind, this will be my last Even if it leads nowhere, I want to try There's no turning back when life seems so far Even if I die, dying is moving on I'm dying away, I'm dying away and the now is now forever I forgot my own voice. I drank from Lethe too long I was the one who saw the gate To the Orphic void, and dared to pass I made up my mind, this will be my last Even if it leads nowhere, I want to try There's no turning back when life seems so far Even if I die, dying is moving on

I seek the seed of persistence I breathe the very existence I take away your sorrow and I’ll keep it all inside You wander like there's no tomorrow You're wasting time that won’t come back You're a tiny thing in charge but not for long Styx and Acheron, dividing us. Your own catabasis denied So wasted your time for creation. So short your sight of damnation I'm wrecking this boat for once, I could be a better man The ferryman It seems I'm losing control. No coin can fill this empty space I'm wrecking this boat for once, I could be a better man The ferryman A sordid god, poor in richness I faced eternity, fearless May I breathe for once? May I see the Sun? So wasted your time for creation. So short your sight of damnation I'm wrecking this boat for once, I could be a better man The ferryman It seems I'm losing control. No coin can fill this empty space I'm wrecking this boat for once, I could be a better man The ferryman I climb the dark to the outside world, I want to see what they call home, I want to die and meet the ferryman.

Y así se desarman los días, y así las horas, Y así los sueños sucumben a la melancolía Y así las máscaras desfilan, Hacia la muerte desde la vida Dejando atrás la soledad de los huesos A stream of light shuts my eyes Vapors surround me, they hold me back So alone, I've lost track Through desolation is my way out Let me pray to the god of waste To red vines which give my soul comfort This wrong you are running from Becomes the symbol of humanity's loss Lead the trees under your spell Lead the rocks which stoned my nature I'm yours in my purest form To come to you, you must free me A stream of light shuts my eyes Vapors surround me, they hold me back So alone, I've lost track Through desolation is my way out Let me pray for Apollo's son For the Sun which gives life to all things This road will lead to death And seal the gates of humanity's pain I shall imitate the gods The siren-sound which call us all I shall emulate their powers And I'll shiver in the deathly cold I shall pay for my weakness I sink into nothing Y así nos iremos todos, dándole paso al silencio, Dejando versos sin decir, dejando nada más que ausencia, Hundiéndonos en la nada, separándonos del Ser I sink into nothing

Out of control, we fall Into this life to taste the Self I know we are coming from the darkness One day we must return All rites belong to me I filled the void, the shadows The one who's loud over the silence Can walk out from this life into the next You who brings the light under the earth And like a beast, you feast With the souls of the dead Grant me entrance, let me in Light the incense, turn to face south Inscribe the symbol. Recite: "When life is ending, Then life begins" I am flowing in the stream of time
