My tortured soul has been freed from the anguish Finding its way to the source of wisdom and strength A clear mind consciously overcoming all boundaries Wallowed in woe, I was the martyr imprisoned by fear But I’ve cleansed myself from wretchedness that possessed me The days of my life ceased to be depths deprived of light Human being has slipped away from self-destruction I believed the fire of my existence has burned out Because reality turned into paralyzing nightmare Following new path uncontaminated with adversity I've found the spark that ignited steadfastness in me I broke free from the torment By looking deep into myself And disposing of the weaknesses My spirit prevailed over the demons of my past The consciousness of my former self - disavowed Atrocious torture that fueled my despair is no more Lost in the catacombs of perdition where man descends into madness I've finally smothered the feebleness that was digesting me Now I'm standing tall, above the omnipresent shadow Cured from disease, unchained at last Nothing shall extinguish the flame inside me Suffering has gone into oblivion Calling from within has awakened my soul Gathering only what's best in me I have arisen as a monument, crushing the shells of what I was before The vermin that infested my mind is no longer part of me

Too long have I stared at the past I couldn't save Only your eyes have seen who I really am You helped me to save my world, so I will save yours Searching for a ray of hope as we walk through the darkest road I have tasted the source, it has granted me fortitude Obstacles in my path have been ground to dust We have defeated our fears Liberation’s echo reflects from the walls of doubt Together we fall, together we rise Together we stand as one Tenacity is the key to the gates of this prison Freed from the shackles of disdain we proudly march Side by side Break the chains of everlasting torment We don’t have to be slaves of our demons Freedom came at a price of a common struggle through hell Scenario written in blood that was shed in suffering Lungs burned, suffocating from the sulfur of solitude Unleash thyself from the misery Let me help you overcome all the doubts Do not lose the chance for another breath You have to vanquish this cursed labyrinth Our awakening is beyond their control Nothing can stop us now We have defeated our fears Liberation’s echo reflects from the walls of doubt Together we fall, together we rise Together we stand as one The empathy I have is a gift from you It will keep me striding through Inner scars, the ones that cannot be seen Feelings torn out, bereft of shelter Body drained out of life Will you be able to follow me to the end despite these wounds?

I observe the accursed land Drowning in hypocrisy Minds possessed by the apathy Trapped in the grip of serpent Population blessed with fetid imitation of trust I am the witness to all these lies that envelop mankind Slaves of deception, surrounding filthiness disgusts me People are ruled by ruthless instincts Merciless rhythm rages in their hearts No sympathy for the other man Selfishness and contempt filled the air of the Earth Wickedness, ravaging disease of human race Arrogance completely perverts the conscience Hidden in their words - cruel insincerity Venom behind the mask of daily life I observe the accursed land Drowning in hypocrisy Minds possessed by the apathy Trapped in the grip of serpent Detestation; it's all I feel when I look at this cesspool We have to release ourselves from the pits of hell Corrupted world buried in filth Foul creature poisons feeble mortals Crawling between the feet of its victims Demon whispers the words of deceit Lust for power, the root of damnation Humanity is blinded in its delusion

Daybreak may never come I got lost in the night created by reality Trying to find a way to save my restless soul Are these nightmares just my imagination Or maybe something more? Numerous thoughts, drilling into my mind Filling both with hope and disillusionment How am I supposed to live with that? Where’s the final answer to all this pain? My heart is overwhelmed by doubt and fear The answer is still elusive While the questions are multiplying in my head How long will I have to follow this path Without seeing the end? I'm barely able to hold my curiosity back Because I don’t know if new days will be brighter Evil shade is haunting me With open eyes I free myself Breaking this silence to see it clear The end of my translucent dream I lived in delusion for so long Am I strong enough to save myself? Night swallowed me whole Daybreak may never come I wander through the darkness of feeble existence New day’s warmth slowly embraces me In this nocturnal sky I can see the sunshine The light that may set me free I am no blind man, I can see the prophecy Salvation’s promise, I will end this agony Hope smothered with the weight of depressive visions was once hollow Now I have the chance to close this torturous chapter I, the child whose belief is strong The one who'll become his own savior Deepest desires are waiting for fulfillment But the time has not come yet I'm trapped in this endless illusion Evil shade is haunting me With open eyes I free myself Breaking this silence to see it clear The end of my translucent dream

Tell me how little did we know Staring at the stars no one could follow Believing in boundless ideals and dreams All gathered in one pit of buried memories Life taught us a lesson impossible to avoid Yet we turn to ask the same old question Is fate so cruel that leaves us so depressed and lost Or is it just an indifferent part of incessant flow? Is there something wrong with me or with this world? One part of me wants to remember and feel it all Another to forget and finally move on But where is the place for me, where am I supposed to go? Where can I find the sense of my existence? Visions trapped in my head won’t leave me alone Every day and night I struggle with my dark thoughts It all makes me sick and I'd rather be dead Losing the will to live I'm waiting for my end I am wandering without hope into the unknown Believing it's better to be gone Too much confusion, misleading answers The path I've chosen, it leads to nowhere But what if I am wrong? Maybe in this endless pain the meaning can be found Maybe when I reach the abyss I'll kiss my demons goodbye There's a beauty in the world unseen for many eyes And maybe it's the only thing that keeps me alive All the lessons I learned through years They make me value the bygone days One is there’s always someone listening Another - misery defines us However I am still in this quandary Overwhelming, drilled into my mind How can I escape from the hunting past? Shall I let it go or make it last? Visions trapped in my head won’t leave me alone Every day and night I struggle with my dark thoughts It all makes me sick and I'd rather be dead Losing the will to live I'm waiting for my end I am wandering without hope into the unknown Believing it's better to be gone

Bleakness overwhelmed my feeble heart Fear and anxiety are tearing my soul apart I am drowning in the depths of endless agony Created by devouring me putridity Harsh reality trapped me in this cursed prison Filling my head with the most painful visions Emptiness suspended in the air like black mist I can only watch how it consumes me Momentary delight, the fading light of life Slowly disappearing with pieces of my shattered pride I feel that I won't be able to survive I hear whispers, they haunt me every night Memories of the past I can’t leave behind False hope infected my veins with sorrow and pain Breeding dark thoughts that poison my brain Am I a child engulfed in the abyss of doom? My mind refused to fight against the truth Into obscurity my salvation has gone Voices speak to me even though I am alone Emptiness suspended in the air like black mist I can only watch how it consumes me Momentary delight, the fading light of life Slowly disappearing with pieces of my shattered pride I feel that I won't be able to survive Prophecy announcing the disappearance of light Only the darkness shall come and swallow me alive Darkness has absorbed my tormented soul I fell into the fathomless pit of everlasting decay Blackness trapped me inside the limbo of my mind Serenity buried beneath the weight of gloom My dismal fate, the symbol of failure I am enveloped by the black mist There is only dreadful emptiness Straying away from the known, deeper into the void There’s no chance I'll return, this is my darkest path I have become the martyr devoured by misery Counting my every breath I watch the clock Until the time stops There’s no return from the darkest corners of consciousness

Where can I find myself now? Desires had gone with the time I feel like my soul is falling apart Leaving the tortured flesh Trying not to forget the person Who I have always been I'm getting lost in this cold void From which there's no return Words spoken yesterday burn out with the beginning of new day I'm the reason for the tragedy that’s thriving here Conclusions are like raindrops flooding canvas of my world Blurring all the painted colors The bleak reality has been exposed My fate is fragile like a mirror’s surface I, the creator inspired by emotional chaos Tears are the ingredient of this nightmare Where the misfortune has countless faces Pointless journey, the boundless waters will finally engulf me Gallery of my memories sunk under the waves of perdition I am the ghost of my own works, which symbolize the pathetic end Paintings of realms between which I drift alone The path I have known is now gone My fate is fragile like a mirror’s surface I, the creator inspired by emotional chaos Tears are the ingredient of this nightmare Where the misfortune has countless faces In this labyrinth of disillusionment I've lost a part of my humanity Becoming empty, lifeless shell Taste of failure plunged my mind into darkness and despair I am trapped in the coldest depths Shadow covers my soul, condemning me to the madness The canvas loses its colors, slowly fading in front of my eyes All the tears I've gathered so far are falling down like the heavy rain Irrevocably distorting the water, where my inspirations are reflecting My fate is fragile like a mirror's surface Misfortune will make it break I am the wanderer lost in dimensions Forgotten element embedded between the stars Breathe life into me Lend me your colors so my last picture will not fade Save my art before it will drown in the depths of perception Insane gaze that looks at reality from different perspectives cannot find itself If I continue to wander in dimensions, my legacy will be flooded by the rain My heart is consumed by the coldness of relentless woe The meaningless desires are stuck in the eternal frost

I am opposed to this phantasm, which you call the highest order False dogmas control the fools, poisoning their lives This heresy eclipsed so many minds Strong will of man - devoured by the lies Reign of decay won’t affect me I can’t let my faith fade away Like a spark, barely shining in the dark Even if what I believed in now seems hollow Even if what I held in my heart is now gone I’ll continue to walk the path From which others have strayed You’ve let your consciousness turn to dust But my will is unbreakable This is my disobedience manifesto To this broken world which must be opposed An illusion reaping the harvest Lacerating fields of lost souls Blind society trapped in this putridity Time to wake up your mind and open your eyes

My mouth spat out the pestilence that I was inhaling for such a long time I was tortured inside the dreadful realm Imprisoned by personification of my nightmares The darkest spawn of perception that possessed me Desolation caused by paranoia of my feeble mind Tearing out the weaknesses stitched under the skin I have forsaken the deadweight of my cursed past So many bitter tears shed on the painful scars Smothered sorrow has become the echo of tragedies Facing my fears, the demons of my wretchedness I fought to wake up from the paralyzing dream My hidden power - human will - awoken has been The last bit of strength that lies dormant deep inside of me My thoughts are cleansed from the anathema of lunacy I eradicate the toxicity from my martyred heart Unshackled from this tenebrous reality I am the mortal who ceased to be its slave Holding the torch of persistence Ignited with a spark of hope I light up my path that is shrouded in the night No one will be the witness of my miserable demise My soul is no longer lost in the shadow of mine I have found my worth betwixt the decay and curse In this unending mayhem of our corrupted world
