Immersion

A dainty figure in the morning mist "Bide your time and hold out hope" She whispered, "or set your heart at rest For it is a foolish heart I leave behind" For all that once was is now gone Whereverat this sleeper may lie Sweetly to decease and be torn asunder To bewail your loss in these nights The hauntings of a wayward day Shall never follow you on your way For you to leave this, your bitter trail I sought you, may this delight prevail Our hearts filled with fright as we run from the hideous presence of the sun The hauntings of a wayward day Shall never follow you on your way Her mighty harbinger, a morning star at the van of day, leaves no enmity no contempt The first gleam of sunlight illuminates the sky So with reluctant dread I hide from the vivid light Aweary of the outset’s first sentinel I cringe away in deepest despair The moon looks upon my departure with a watery eye Wanton winds accompany me on my long way home As I hear the dawn’s yearning call I bid farewell to you all

I found a place to call home My sanctuary in a world succumbing to grief A gleam of hope, like ivy embrace me And don't let me go My gardens bare trees now flourish again The shadows they cast hide me away From bale's burning light Safely entwined I hide until night Be gone parching sun To the twilight that you came from Be gone, away Darken this idle day Blessed by nights serenity I will rise From the ashes of a burned down life Burned down life I smother every smoldering fire That threatens the orchards bloom Upon the oath I took I forever will take what is mine They say I fade into shades without a trace A nocturnal child Veiled and obscure, a myth yet uncovered Don't you dare light my way "And then led astray he went away To never return But in his heart he carried the hope of his dreams What may he have become?"

Another doleful day is dawning Again your pillow is soaked with tears And yet you have to realize why Your life turned out to be this way Lying awake in your darkest hour All alone you pity yourself The question still remains in your head A proof for your glorious self-treachery You’re drowning in the depth of your heart Descending into the darkness below I’m following my ardent longing to be free Ascending into the heavens above You never were brave enough to save yourself Because every victory holds the seed for another defeat So you just gave up the fight There has been mere break of faith No deliverance from your dreadful sins For you have lost the freedom you once had At solitary times when the flickering static is your only friend You wish you had chased all those dreams you had along the way A thousand lights fade every day No one takes notice But I will make my way to the horizon For I will not fade away If a single star perishes in the night No, no one will mourn But I will fight for my trueborn liberty For I will not go down

Like blindfolded, we're still unaware This elucidation still elided Unpercieved, deriving from us Derision arises in dissimulation No ray of light in the distance A movement without a sound Shifting thoughts in your head Breaking down your static sense Open your eyes, hold your breath Truth like a distancing effect On second thought this dream will end Our postmodern world expiring today Outrun by an incomplete social malfunction Soon to negate our imaginary wisdom The shortest distance is none Falling earthwards, intraday deriliction Not confined onto the smallest matter of mind A single thought not to be deprived Now you yourself are becoming a deity The next step is done, a new era befalling Rapidly disintegrate ...

See the sadness in their eyes Searching for a spark to ignite the flame See your reflection in their eyes For we are nothing but the same Pictures of a transitory state hidden deep within Something we have lost not too long ago No recollection of our former destination To temper justice with mercy is to let the weakness prevail In a world where nothing is sacred , in darker times and in search for the truth The foreclosure of human nature Binding us all in despair Shall no longer take hold of us For it is beyond a mortal's share Beyond the margins of this stern society We rediscover remnants of our lives Venturing out on the sky beneath our feet The will is set only death may break it So let’s take a part of the world and make it our own Just you and I Lost in delusions of grandeur, a thought so bittersweet Light the beacon and lead the way Just you and I Just you and I

The vast neon outshines the sky For every earthborn light a star shall perish These endless streets are burning bright Origin of savage apparitions Amongst the nightly cityscapes Where we reign, urban panorama Centuries of constant motion In a city that never sleeps Vanishing in the crowd We disappear from your reach Find your solace in the countless alleyways Shimmering districts of a radiant utopia Vibrant crossroads at the pulse of time Prevalence of sheer beauty so divine Rain clouds dissembling the sky The smell of burning concrete in the air In slow motion faces waving across our way A never ending flow beyond the means Listening to the heartbeat of a time Traffic lights setting the rapid pace Captivating surges of sound Evoking this sudden revelation Overwhelmed by the scenery sublime Drifting through the perpetuating nights Monumental disorder in perfect symmetry As we’re joining the dreamlike midnight carnival At the end of our journey As we're stepping into the limelight Umeda Panorama

Reignite the sky And outshine the stars The end of repentance has come So let us travel to a new world Into the incandescent everbright We are children born of a abhorrent civilization laid to waste No, We will not stay here For we shall not bear our forefathers' loss This is our requiem to darksome days Our epitaph to misery So let us forsake these lands' sullen shores The sky is ours and forever will be Down heartened souls Haunt these timeworn cityscapes But I sense a spark of hope Whilst we stand with dignity Illuminate the path that leads away from here Finally the reign of light may come Reignite our sleeping sun The nova of a star yet gone New faith found with a god in each of us Follow the celestial guide Into endless fields of light Towards a sun shining for each of us

Waking up on a moonlight meadow at night A gentle breeze blowing like autumns first breath Stumbling through the murk I explore the shades Leaving all the past anxieties far behind.... The celestial stars are shifting As the grass starts to sway in the wind Branches silently groaning around me I’m standing in misery and woe The rising haze … Takes away my bitter cloak of mourning And so my will to live had died Becoming a lone wayfarer, never to return A fate condemned into the dark Amongst the shadows I wander Where only candles light my way Throughout these endless fields of forsaken souls Watch the lonely candle's flame burning out Still even in deepest despair there’s a spark of hope I’m all alone seeing my veneration subside Where solemn faces are edged upon hallowed soil The rising haze … Takes away my bitter cloak of mourning And so I became one with the wind A wanderer seeking solace in the faraway I hear the spirits dance around my memories in black Laughing at my despair and tears Carried away by the stormy gale To fall like rain on distant shores The rising haze … Takes away my bitter cloak of mourning And so I am telling you this vagrant story Of a restless soul unbound and free

Pictures of a floating world in front of the inward eye On the verge of a quiet night I head towards the coast The remembrance of all that I have to leave behind Aside the mighty shorelines where I now reside I sense a sudden disruption in the stream of consciousness Amidst the crashing waves while I stare into the setting sun Bring salvation to what is me, feeble and lonely Let duskfall embrace this day, set the sea ablaze Once lost within the dark chamber that was my heart I will open a passage to uncharted frontiers Longwinded change of cognition in the blink of an eye Leaving the calamity far behind I wade beyond the surge The pathway to deliverance lies ahead As the night settles in Wandering off into the afar I can hear her voice in the distance Calling out my name
