Low Lights

When the sun is drowned by darkness
When the noise of the day subsides
When the alleys return to silence
With the echoes of void inside
With the echoes of void inside
Waiting for us 'till the starlight
Will reflects the shades of night
Waiting for us when the low lights
Will allow our eyes to shine
Waiting for us 'till the starlight
Will reflects the shades of night
Waiting for us when the low lights
Will allow our eyes to shine
Ghouls of the city
Vampires of underground
Waiting in the shadows
Among the urban sounds
Ghouls of the city
Vampires of underground
Waiting in the shadows
Among the urban sounds
Ghouls of the city
Vampires of underground
Waiting in the shadows
Until the sun goes down
Until the sun goes down

Clochard Avenue
04:37
|

|
Long furrows on your hollow face
Hands outstretched searching for grace
Your path is strewn with stones
Pain in your heart, cold in your bones
Crying for mercy
On the sidewalk
Begging on your knees
You remain
Stripped of your pride
Like the leafless trees
Eyes downcast as people go by
Sense of despair, the deepest cries
Old shoes and worn-out clothes
What is left are just your thoughts
Crying for mercy
On the sidewalk
Begging on your knees
You remain
Stripped of your pride
Like the leafless trees
Crying for mercy
On the sidewalk
Begging on your knees
You remain
Stripped of your pride
Like the leafless trees
Empty days are grey
In a clochard's fate
Bring this avenue
As a mark inside you

Between the slots of the shutter
From my silent nest
Eyes reflecting moonlight
Waiting for my rest
Warm as love and dark as night
A screen the only light
Empty bottles of red wine
Lost the sense of time
Self-condemned to reclusion
'cause retreat will bring me peace
Spending years in isolation
Only this room and me
Leave me here on my bed
Let me drink on my own
Let me deal with my inner world
Nothing to share with no one
Nothing can melt my heart
No one can watch me suffer
No one can scratch my scars
No one can scratch my scars
Self-condemned to reclusion
'cause retreat will bring me peace
Spending years in isolation
Only this room and me

Jaded spirit, my soul anesthetized
A faint light on me
1 a.m., embraced by darkness
Stillness everywhere
Falling down in sleep
Where silence is unbroken
Where the night is deep
And the dream's gates are open
Hushed my fears and hushed my thoughts
Within these friendly walls
Wrapped in a grey blanket
A bed safe and warm
Falling down in sleep
Where silence is unbroken
Where the night is deep
And the dream's gates are open
Falling down in sleep
Where the night is deep
Where the night
Where the night is deep

On Earth They Crawl
05:21
|
|||
|
Seeds of hatred nourished with grudge
Deadly mobs crawling in sludge
Lamentations and despair from the crowd
Bringers of pain and disease
Like worms
On earth they crawl
On earth they crawl
Raw perception
Like worms
On earth they crawl
No light in their eyes
And no words in their mouth
Seeds of hatred, nourished with grudge
Deadly mobs are crawling in sludge
Like worms
On earth they crawl
On earth they crawl
Raw perception
Like worms
On earth they crawl
Celebrating their emptiness
Crossing the fog at the funeral of empathy
Inhaling hate and misery
Looking at them as shells of flesh
No light in their eyes
And no words in their mouth

There's something cold and blank
Behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile
'Cause you were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today, today
To run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a Polaroid
That lost all her dolls
You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today, today, today
To run away
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself

Railways, above the streets
The screeching of the tracks
A stone in the pit of my soul
Dreams turning black
Rough reality of suburban life
Monotony, gloom and decay
With deafening falls
All certainties collapse
Collapse!
Dead cities, dead squares, metropolis
So empty, so barren and cold
Dead alleys, dead ways, peripheries
Where sorrow and misery crawl
Standing in silence, in front of the truth
Illusions belong to the past
Cramps in my stomach, the grind of my teeth
And slow, the beat in my chest
With eyes lost in nothingness
With eyes lost in void
With eyes lost in nothingness
With eyes lost in void
