Octavia Sperati Grace Submerged 1. Guilty Am I Death in front of my feet The path I no longer see The interference of yours to my so wanted solitude The stars rise from utter darkness And leads me It is the only course open to me You shadow is stuck with the enemy With nowhere to go Nowhere to hide Sleepless dreaming of no agony Unimpeachable appear you now too close to me And nowhere to run to No one to blame I hope this hunting will come to an end Blood is all over moats Of my deep sunken memory The shattered soul of mine Will it ever be healed again? This maze of endless fear from unknown emptiness It leads me Crossing the ominous signs opened to me Your shadow is stuck with the enemy With no face to seek No words to tell Sleepless dreaming of no agony Unimpeachable appear you now to close to me With no one to turn to And no trail of home I hope this haunting will come to an end 2. Moonlit There she is, looking down at me Down at us, gazing with a sigh Bright as always, clouds give way Tonight so sharp, so clear and solid Knows all her missions, never ever failed The roar will rise to kill in the name... How can they "forget" and never regret? Not taking their chances and heal? It's awful and true, this manic award Blowing their souls to pieces for him You're going down and that is the end No heroes left but fallen men She catches it all so gently with a shine They're on their thrones, looking down at us With hate and loss the aim remains So unfairly in their misery How can they go on and never look back? When will they accept and give in? All over the fear comes closer to us The stars will shine beyond the end 3. Going North He's heading north With silent shout And quiet reverence The wish to be granted He's come to catch His midnight sun A star to wish upon Bleached in northern lights It's cold, he's told it's beauty was irresistible He's brave; he's safe in this land of his dreams The moon will rise to see him off One day there will be time to put his mind to rest He will find his cave A shelter to keep them out It's dark, the mark appears in the distance of his tired eyes The golden light hits his unconscious mind It proves the goal is here for him He has come too close The end so fair and sparkling Wind will blow his mind back to where it belongs Time will change; and time will broaden his mind Monuments of ancient beliefs are written in stone Not fading to keep the word of faith 4. Don't Believe A Word Don't believe me if I tell you, Not a word of this is true Don't believe me if I tell you, Especially if I tell you I'm in love with you Don't believe me if I tell you That I wrote this song for you There just might be some other silly, pretty boy I'm singing to Don't believe a word Words are so easily spoken And your heart is just like a promise, made to be broken Don't believe a word 'Cause words can tell lies And lies are no comfort, When there're tears in your eyes Don't believe me if I tell you, Not a word of this is true Don't believe me if I tell you, Especially if I tell you I'm in love with you Don't believe a word I don't believe a word Don't believe it, don't believe it Not a single word 5. ...And Then The World Froze Maybe I was wrong Maybe I just imagined all these things Do you want to be here- with me? Are you sorry you came? All those times on the street Why didn't you talk to me? Don't be afraid- I had to escape It was burning me up inside Sun seems pale The world froze To echoes of strife Storms embrace us Walls are moaning Let us avoid the edges of broken glass Time standing still The world froze My story wrapped in cold cold rain drops collapsing on your soul I'm freezing Where is the love? Do you see these floods- in my eyes? Would you stand me up? If I needed your strength Would your force reach me? Don't get me wrong- I had to be strong Sun seems pale The world froze To echoes of strife Words are soaring Thoughts are drifting Let us avoid the edges of broken hearts Blood running strong To echoes of strife The sun seems pale and lost in its cosmic chaos Am freezing Where is the love? Maybe I was wrong Maybe I just imagined all these things Did you want to be here- with me? Are you sorry you came? All those times on the street Why didn't you walk with me? Don't be afraid- I had to escape 6. The Final Rest I am waiting, waiting for the words to come Silence is taking, taking up the space that... ? Naked skin wrapped in showers of silver... ? Sun's out defrosting years of clogged up strain Two tied up souls inhaling Searching for their own lived lives Longing to flush upon its shore to come to final rest Venomous clouds throw the sun into a shade The drunken earth begs for her as the sky is missing its moon My world is shaking, breaking up the solid ground Slowly I'm waking, waking up to see through years of pain Drunken soul sinking, drowning in its misery Clear eyes are watching, staring at the vast sun Slow rivers of golden memories Shivering down their broken spine Longing to flush upon its shore to come to final rest Venomous clouds throw the sun into a shade The drunken earth begs for her as the sky is missing its moon 7. Deprivation Strange faces In a night time Weird places Desperately looking for an exit Stripped naked For a lifetime Try to break it Every night has its dawn Bad vibrations For the right time Prevent destructions Don't you regret your ever closed eyes You run in slow motion Escape from its presence and strain To be approaching to you Closer and closer Suddenly quite awake and soaking wet In the dark you can see their eyes everywhere Try to wake up During night time Impenetrable Through the dark time In need of sleeping Deprived of your deep sleep You run in slow motion Escape from its presence and strain To be approaching to you Closer and closer Suddenly quite awake and soaking wet In the dark you can see their eyes everywhere 8. Provenance Of Hate To spectate your inferiority What use are you to me And your presence is passing me by All the time It's infesting me and I eliminate it By offering to the wind Unsuccessful in your attempt To outshine my brilliant superiority And I will paint your shadow red all over With my spirit I enter you What use are you to me It's infesting me and I eliminate it all the time 9. Dead End Poem I close my eyes As fire swept clean the earth Nothing left to strangle As the cords were torn from our hearts As we emerged From darker dungeons Splendor of yellow hells Expanded swollen eyes No words were said As fire swept clean the earth Would the mothers be crying? If they saw the torches in their hands A kiss was placed upon my cheek And all colors came back Melting in solid blue hues 10. Submerged
