Awakening

When blood flows and the party is over

Sounds from the past haunt my sleep

Echoes of a new existence

The rejection of life means higher needs

The same sky upon us

Pleasure melts with pain

The light has faded

We will die again

Memories hurt

Like reopened scars

The ashes of the future

From the womb of the past

That restless night bred

Memory and desire

Only disillusion's left

Everything has been done

Nothing was safe from my iconoclastic rage

The fire of truth set my world ablaze

A strange hell opened up its gates for me

The fruit of knowledge fell from the tree

Sometimes at night

I prayed to fall asleep

An escape from reality

The washing of the sins

Another sky upon us

Regret and sorrow grow

Another day has gone

Is there a space for hope?

No escape from here

From this darkened place

The tolling of a distant bell

Reminds us of our fate

That restless night bred

Memory and desire

Only disillusion's left

Everything has been done

Now I am like everybody else

I'm not myself anymore
