1. Adyta 'the Neverending Embrace'
O nate vulnerate
Cito veni ad me
Te amplectar et vulnera tua lingam
Utinam te haberem, mi amor caelestis
3. Seif Al Din "The Embrace That Smothers -
Part VI"
The origin of a dogma
Placed in a new millennium
Vilified demons have been embraced
And given a warm welcome
The Seif al Din
Hasn't got the ghost of a chance to rust
Because it has always been kept in shape
In serving the one Almighty
The rudiments have always been misinterpreted during history,
despite the good intentions of many disciples who's faithful believe was strong
and unswayed.
Most leaders interpret the old words to their
advantage in the attempt of gaining leadership and power
over those unfortunate enough to fall under their maliciousness and
manipulative ways.
This misuse of trust will forever stain the pages of history,
echoing the exploitation and the frailty of decent
men carried away by nurtured rancour...
Perpetual distrust fed by a belief
In the malevolence of the others
When the beautiful unreality holds out its hand
It's better not to lose yourself in blind faith
4. Sensorium
Chance doesn’t exist
But the path of life is not
totally so predestined and
time and chronology
show us how all should be
In the ways of existence
To find out why we are here
Being conscious is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
No one surveys the whole, focus on things so small
But life’s objective is to make it meaningful
only searching for this
That which doesn’t exist
Although our ability
to relativize remains unclear
Being conscious is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end
scream:
I’m not afraid to die
I’m afraid to be alive without being aware of it
I’m so afraid to, I couldn’t stand to
Waste all my energy in things
that do not matter anymore
Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don’t grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes
and smell death every day.
Our future has already been wasted by us alone
And we just let it happen and do not worry at all
chorus x2:
Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don’t grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes
And smell death every day
Search for the answers that lie beyond
Being conscious is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end
5. Solitary Ground
living at different paces
evading into various places
my compass has broken
I'm losing the way
an ongoing madness has lead me astray
in me there's still a place that
fulfils me
a sanctity here that I call home
I run to when winter descends
if I try can I find solid ground?
I follow illusive paths
oh it seems they've been written in stone
and the door to a new life is closing so fast
burning the bridges will not bring me back
in me there's still a place that
fulfils me
a sanctity here that I call home
I run to when winter descends
if I try can I find solid ground?
in me there's still a place that
fulfils me
a sanctity here that I call home
I run to when winter descends
if I try can I find solid ground?
I know that
in me there's still a place that
fulfils me
a sanctity here that I call home
I run to when winter descends
if I try can I find solid groud?
or am I just wasting time?
wasting time
6. The Obsessive Devotion
Don’t you ever blind me
Don’t be a foolish thief
-Am I?
Don’t you ever bring yourself to grief
Don’t you ever blind me
Don’t ever trick my mind
-Did I?
Don’t you think that you can lie to me
-Did I lie?
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.
I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
Don’t you choke and bind me
Don’t be a bleeding heart
-Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
-Let us play!
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.
I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
I can't even recognize the path which has to be
Taken to enter infinity.
-Don't you dare me
I dare you
-You don't care about me
I care about you
-Don’t you touch me
-Liar
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
Adoratio permanebit
Quotiens me eges, adero
I prefer to be unhappy with you,
rather than being depressed without you.
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do…
I prefer to be a lair just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you
One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down, I realise that…
All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion
Venia ad vitam aeternam
Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis
Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish
Liar
Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura
I have raised myself for you
But now I regret
Venia ad vitam aeternam
This is the endn
7. Trois Vierges
Memory, fading out
Its presence still lingers in my mind
Listen to your inner voice
There's no escape, there's no other choice
A foolish fate that came about
Death could not leave without
Don't try to scour your inane soul
It would be labours lost
Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this will die
Innocence died when they took his mind
And they tried to leave him behind
Not even a cascade of tears will save you
And keep you away from harm
Concinnity of destiny
Is not what you wished it to be
Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this will die
Blind by love
Between lust and hate
You scarred your fate
There's no time to waste
Ride for your own ruin
Odium became your opium
Please don't let me bleed for all eternity
Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this...
Please leave me be in my own misery
