Fancy tunnels, airsealed crypts
below those tons of human ash
our one and only gorgeous pearl
covered now in radiant trash
Survival paid with sacrifice
of human dolls not worth a thought
Just fancy this to stay a sane
Forget ideals that you were tought
:|| We're alive now
Will we thrive?
We are buried now
Will we die? ||:
Trapped in a shell of lead
cut off from the warming sun
debauched and mesmerized
by the barrel of a gun.
We can't take it anymore,
bite these walls of lead
Burn down this city's hall
and face the nuclear threat
:|| We're alive now
Will we thrive?
We are buried now
Will we die? ||:
:|| We're alive now
Will we thrive?
We are buried now
Will we die? ||:

Winter Kills

Home and shell drenched by snow
Now his toes feed the crows
Pissed off by his poverty
They stripped him of his dignity
Crystals grace the felted beard
Hyaloid frost got his sight bleared
No escape from grey-white hell
The setting sun sounds his knell
Hope is gone 'til break of dawn
Close your eyes, your toil is done
All for nothing, lived in vain
All you got was their disdain
Marked by death with blackened skin
Ease the pain with lousy gin
Lay down at the willow's root
A funeral in solitude
Teared up lips from icy glass
At his feet the empty jars
Crystal clear liquid sooth
His only friend remains the booze
Trappy warmth lies within
Blighted is this drunkard's kin
Frostfilled air in his chest
Lung infection does the rest
Hope is gone 'til break of dawn
Close your eyes, your toil is done
All for nothing, lived in vain
All you got was their disdain
Marked by death with blackened skin
Ease the pain with lousy gin
Lay down at the willow's root
A funeral in solitude
You've sent him to the boneyard hills
Now take the blame as winter kills

Frostbitten

Take another stab to the flaring heart
And drain all the blood and the heat
Let it heal and repeat
Repeat until the scars are numb
Pain and rage die quietly
Darkness stains the sight
And winter reigns the mind
Now they lie at my feet
Seeking the place where my flame once burned
And shone upon the world
A frost-clad reach
Where a human heart used to beat
And no god will ever tread
Look trough soulless eyes
Hear the painful cries
Resistant to all agony
And stripped of all empathy
Wander over blood-soaked fields
Shredded corpses all around
And not a single tear
Falls to the ground
Is this all that's left of me?
An empty shell of cruelty
That should frighten me to the core
Too bad I care no more
Now they lie at my feet
Seeking the place where my flame once burned
And shone upon the world
A frost-clad reach
Where a human heart used to beat
And no god will ever tread
My frostbitten face, devoid of human traits
No love, no hate, no fear shines through
My frostbitten face, devoid of human traits
Unreachable and pale

Epitaph
07:12

The wind proclaims the demise
Of a shining light
A glim that led me
Through the darkest nights
On its way to the
Starlit sky
It's a faint hope
Among the gloom
What remains?
Mere fragile memories
In the endless depths of mind
Carried above oblivion
Echoes from the past
Resonate in reminiscence
Like a fading deadlight
Remembrance is a two edged blade
Loss and gratefulness
Warmth and affinity
Coldness and agony
A spirit soars into infinity
Silently fading in a world of noise
The stronger the tie to the past
The deeper the rupture
What remains?
Mere fragile memories
In the endless depths of mind
Carried above oblivion
Echoes from the past
Resonate in reminiscence
Like a fading deadlight
Sorrow and grief
A mournful embrace
An endless void
Leaves a fractured soul behind
Yet soil swallows pain and misery
What remains?
A monument with a fading epitaph
