In the roots of the mind,
putrefaction and dementia are strongly masked.
Humanity is the sickness
that is reborn as a phoenix from corruption and malevolence.
Misanthropy is the cure.
A pale hand, cherry trees and a grey sky
Those left behind, a monument to the end of it all
Cold inside, a broken mirror burning
This loneliness will show me the direction
Darkness in freedom, questions fly behind me
Oddest intentions, blackened speech for white nights
Haze and clouds, narrow paths for my self destruction
An architect fixing parts of a life in disgrace
Undead dawn, a ritualistic mission
This loneliness will show me the direction
Nothing else but an old man´s pale hand, nothing else but a dead pale hand
Crows on crowns, despair is backing home
Nocturnal feast, (something) insane at the back of my mind
Light outside, a needle in a haystack
This loneliness will show me the direction
Ice blows...
