lyrics

Part I

Life in here seems to me
Like a shell for all dreams,
In a yard filled with graves
With a dream carved in each.

With a cry that derives
From this world, from this time?
Is this realm but a hell
To die out in a shell?

Part II

From a scratch through my front
Dwelled a voice quiet but strong,
As I mourned still at graves,
To find back to old grace.

But with each day that passed
Grew the shadows of my past
Were they driven by one flaw:
To conceive them linear?

As I dreamed through the days,
Mingled worlds reached through grey,
Spheres spread through needle holes
Rays entangled subtly though.

Whispers, first died away,
Now reached back through the grey.
From the shell splinters cracked,
Brought me life, fetched me back.

Part III

In this dark where I find back,
Beauty springs from all night's black.
Frequencies that overlapped
Sharpen shapes, gleam now through black.

As the self reshapes itself,
Resynchronized the wilfullness,
To shape this world and shift its path:
A grasp of what's beyond this
- Materialized dystopia!

As the dawn breaks through the clouds
That shroud our minds to blind all out
What lies behind the world's distorted
Self-destructive ways of fraud.

Self-awereness only will
Give power back to your own will
To make a change, to break your chains
Become aware, shed all their withholding restraints!

Freedom! Freedom shall be ours one day!
