Pandora’s box, evils spread out
Pandora’s box, reveal them now
Pandora’s box, infects us all
Pandora’s box, hope will remain

Come round again
Severe pain
Is ending
Open my eyes
A divine light
Is filling me
Majestic trees
Pure water streams
A gentle breeze
Guides me back home
This world of misery
Fades from my memory
This life of purity
Will last an eternity
In my mind abound
Dreadful scenes of doom
Hopeless rushing crowds
Deafening howls afar
The clouds of dust
Have all vanished
The healing dream
Is happening
This world of misery
Fades from my memory
This life of purity
Will last an eternity
This world of misery
Fades from my memory
This life of purity
Will last an eternity

Amidst the smoke
07:48
|

Down below the gleaming dome
Lie the dawning seeds of gold
Feeding the ground, in the silence of the night
As the clock awaits the call
Time to awake
The morning of the glow will arrive
In the skies where the eye can see
Open the gate
To all the wonders hiding away
And you’ll set your mind free
Sirens spread their heady songs
Magic spells that haunt the souls
Seeking the crown, for a passing ray of light
Guided by a blinding sun
Time to awake
The morning of the glow will arrive
In the skies where the eye can see
Open the gate
To all the wonders hiding away
And you’ll set your mind free
Sailing on the seas of profusion
Looking through the gap of illusion
While the hands are begging
And the tears are flowing
In the everlasting rain
Deep inside your heart
There’s a garden full of colours
A blooming joy ahead
Ethereal and bright
Is the path that leads to healing
In the circle of life

The prison child
10:34
|
|||
Hour of divine
Lights our destiny
The progeny’s shape
Is looming to reveal his ecstasy
Seeking to find
A cradle of lands to dive in
Exalted to grow
Engulfed by the scent of avidity
His nascent desire
Leads him to places unseen
Drowning in the mud
Crawling in the mire
In their eyes
A vision of his mind disguised
A pariah
Contemplate
The stars glinting in
The empyrean sky
Pleasant reverie
Lingering in
His spirit
Inside the cage
Held behind these bars
The bank draws away
Infinite wait
Dismal glory
War within the child
Drowning in the mud
Crawling in the mire
In their eyes
A vision of his mind disguised
A pariah
End foreseen
An omen of aborted life
To set free
Dispel the weight of guilt
Gnawing the inner shore
Unveil the marrow
Trapped in an iron core
An altered reason sinking
In a gloomy haze
Devouring pictures wobbling
In his brain
Sparkles to cease the motion
Prayers soughed for salvation

Sleeping deeply
Trusting blindly
Lurking in the dark
Light appears
Live in oblivion
Absurd mirage
Cry neath the moon
Hoping again
Cry neath the moon
In vain
A paragon built upon the ruins
Of a time
Where the walls were strong
Innocence fades as reason grows
In a land
That once was blank
Reveal the secret of existence
(Buried faith collapses)
(I cannot survive among these lies)
Carry the burden of the real
Perceive the shadow of the presence
(Trapped inside my silence)
(Condemned to remain in this interval)
Vision cannot be erased
From my memory
Cry neath the moon
Hoping again
Cry neath the moon
In vain
I wish I had stayed in my grave
Shadows dancing above my head

Cassandra's prophecy
17:38
|
|||
Out of the visions and eerie voices
The morning light is shining bright again
Trying to conceal a rising ruin
And remnants of a kingdom to rebuild
A curse ignored, above us, hovering in wait
To grab our bodies, weakened, lying in despair
A favour from the skies
A poisoned gift, disguised
My words are doomed to lapse
Into the depths of silence
The serpent made its choice
An honour conferred by the crown
A promise now betrayed
And then the pact is broken
The scene was whispered by distant figures
A buried premonition yet untold
Smother the urges, turn off the flicker
But after all these presages reborn
A simple mortal's view could only be denied
Within a circle where the lofty souls preside
An army raised to clear
The fetters to their dreams
The blindfold disappeared
Under the weight of violence
Defeated by the void
The drifting vessel lost its way
Among the dazzled mob
The circus lives forever
A sudden lightning in the night
Perfume of darkness starts to emanate
And as the crowds begin to shake
The dire oracles feed on our deepest fears
The end is coming
The bell is tolling
Beholding, announcing
The sentence of the crime
A last orison, a final life
Somewhere the scythe is hiding in the dusk
Showing the way leading to pyres
The deafening howls afar are burning like a scar
The curtain’s falling
The ants are swarming
Escaping, awaiting
The sentence of the crime
Fate has spoken now
Sceneries fading out
Swallowed in the loins of a ravaged ground
Where the seeds of gold will dwell
Hour of divine
Leaving us behind
Lurking in the dark, the yellow eyes observe
Unleashing the creatures of the flames to reign
Run away
Run away
Pandora's box, evils spread out
Pandora's box, hope will remain
