Colosseum Chapter 2: Numquam 1. Numquam Wavering empty minute when existence flows towards its persistent fate Blear imagery before your eyes Seen defeat behind glass, mantles of smoke Asking nevermore what went wrong Scars shall heal no more All you gave wasn't worth a dime Empty stare - bleeding wrists ...and not a single smile will ever appear on your face Emotions decay and pass away Rotten corpse of compassion ravaged and raped The air is grinning wheeling colours of the womb Born again while perished 2. Towards The Infinite Spirits of multiverse Unspeakable presence of malice Heading towards the infinite Ordained with crown of disdain and irreverence in the principality of nightmares' inheritance Rays of the addling planets intoxicating,contaminating Wretched distortion of light Inanimate ventures to struggle View bleeding in coma Shapes dancing around a pallid scenario Wrapped in murder Hours go by as the lights grow dim paintings of black and red on the floor Silence engraves these wounds Serenity of evermore 3. Demons Swarm By My Side Moments languish in their absence while silence moans Paralyzed in dormancy, lifeless slumber drowning in emptiness Senses still flicker awaiting the hopeless awakening to a vague travesty of being Carrying human body in a long dead soul I've abandoned the flame once burning within Seeking only the depths of fathomless stillness Surrounded by wills of the wisp in this reeking swamp Where demons swarm by my side Once I gazed upon a mere reflection of light As if through the eyes of the living Reflection has gone and will never return I curse this sight to the lowest pit of damnation 4. The River Staring to these white walls and waiting for them to vanish Feeling of cold grows stronger and sight is blurring in these tired eyes No questions remain anymore as they're all wiped away Only this moment where time stands still reaching its limits Stillness awaits while touching the calmness merged with pain that soon will cease to be with my shattered consciousness River is flowing down in constant movement, further down Slow aching movement and last shadows of horror appear to this gruesome sight Too weak to move anymore lying still awaiting the darkness to come Sight is growing dim and white turns to black drifting away, away Can't turn back the time, it's claws mangle what's left of me No letters, no empty words... 5. Narcosis Diving into prodigious landscape beyond experience Stars have died in this desolate wasteland of infinity Limits collide and shatter into endless parallels Physical form has ceased to exist, only spirit without carrying form Outside the form as the breath of howling winds and darkness The world never appeared in reality nor even a wretched dream Black holes open wide in between the galaxies unseen The consciousness has escaped from its bounding walls Open wide the gates to unreality... Disappear into the waving stream... Darkness as your guide.. Devil in your veins.. 6. Prosperity Great abundance of grief, prosperity of poverty and wealth of misery prevails Losses you gain with weakness as your power while rejoicing at your plentiful agony Darkness as your guiding light, winter frost keeps you warm through the night Gallons of absinthe to keep you sane, only death keeps you alive Solitude as your companion and silence to hear your cries Hatred for you to cherish and pain for you to enjoy effusively Flying to stay on the ground, Fleeing to face the present Touching the prosperity you always failed to see 7.
