lyrics

"I will not tell the preface, it's not significant against the pain that would come after, the mispending of the life marked my wretched odissey
I feel like a secular tree, so much time to spend but with so few chances
Like this tree sees everything around him change, grow up, improove
While he's constrained to the perpetual chains
So I gaze up at my surroundings with no chance dreaming of a deliverance so hard to find
Why should it be so hard?
Why give me the gift without acquaintance?
Lymph no longer feeds my roots
I see a flock of birds laying on that tree
They are free to build their existence
They are free to fly
I've tried and I tried to follow them
But all I have are just dry leaves
It's time for me to pass away."

He sees the world
A place devoid of bliss
Engulfed in the vortex of chaos
Consuming the edges of our existence
The calls of the dead sound now closer than ever
He desires to plunge in the darkness
Take a leap in the eye of annihilation

The voices are louder than ever before
He screams until he's about to suffocate
The decay that's inside his tormented psyche
His senses now all crave for their self-destruction
Every last fragment of his rotting spirit stands on the altar of sacrifice
Rejecting the so-called gift of life
This worthless endeavour, a useless adventure
What is it all supposed to mean?

He refuses to take part in this illusion
He's haunted by a future so bleak
It's time to put an end to this

There is no place to go
No alternative
He just wishes to be nowhere at all
No refuge to seek
No way of escaping but this last declaration of scorn for life

He will break the chains that tied him to this world
He will gaze in the abyss and see nothing but the deepest black

There is nothing more to lose in this life
Not enough strength to keep moving forward
He escapes once more, but he's not coming back this time
The only salvation lies in suicide
