Rises The Soul of Nature Immortal Myth
Clouds of burning sparks are falling from the skies Dying on the ground now blackened with ashes Among those steel and flesh warriors corpses Like forgotten tears arising from past cries. Stifling effluvia of war and violence Death, death everywhere, lifeless blood feeds the earth But lurked in the depths of this funeral filth A heart is dimly beating in dead silence. Some bony finger is scratching underneath Revengeful whispering ascends to the moon Like the divine promise life will be back soon Rises the soul of nature immortal myth. Enlivened by myriads of young wasted flames Now strengthened, full of hatred and forgiveness Its soiled hand springs up from its grave loneliness Hypnotic shadow memory of lost blames. Its outline stands out against the mystic light Unreal and disquieting, somber presence Its hold on my poor schizophrenic essence And for once I know I cannot win this fight. Aus Songtexte Mania
