Ixion
To the Void
1. Beyond the Skies
Earth seems to me a sterile promontory
My arms are burst for I have embraced the clouds
In the depths of sky blaze
My consumed eyes just see memories of the sun
In vain I tried to find purpose of this land
I feel like my wings are broken
Through the dark I escape
Hear my pray see my pain
Burnt by love of beauty, I honor the sublime
Take my hand, night walking
Give my name to this abyss,
Who might be my grave
Be wise and stand quiet, demanded evening
For others concern, for you a peace
Beyond the skies I will rise.
2. The Plague
See these ruins
We have buried our existence underground
In this wasteland, we sealed our grave
The devil itself breathes out
A sterile vapor firmament
Contagion to innocent world
Heaven’s face does glow against the doom
It should never have been created
Desperate times, desperate measures
They say this is fantasy, it’s very ecstasy
Won’t belief take them all,
Touching this dreaded sight?
We’ll leave you behind, we need to escape
A new hope for mankind
We think there is no cure
Break my soul
I must hold my tongue and my heart
In this hypocrites
Such bitter business I would like to die
With trustful visage I’m thought-sick at the act
Don’t come with me, I let you go
Your head over my shoulder I’m sorry.
3. Leaving
As ship is soaring and Earth is fading
The cosmos reveals its deep infinity
Distances dissolve, no limits around
We have left to the void
Beyond the sky, myriad of stars
Celestial dew, everlast tears
Possess me merely and takes my breath away
Behind the curtains, veil of light
Sweet fragrance, perfume of divine
A beauty, purity
I need to forget you
Though yet of our dear son’s death
The memory be black,
And that is befitted to bear our mind in grief
And our whole entity to be contracted
In one brow of woe
Yet I have dreams
Which are the very substance of the ambition
Or merely shadow of a dream
Where I believe in us all
And our redemption saving mankind.
4. New Heaven
Bounded in a glass sphere
Counting myself a king of space
Flesh merging on stellar waves and clouds
Shapes of colours and majestic rays
Mesmerized by floods of bright
Have we found Heaven?
That the solid would melt, thaw
And resolve itself into the nil
The very stellar flash
The innocent will chase away the dark
And burn empire shadows to limits never reached
See this chaos we pretend to tame
Celebrate our power
We’re now one with the cosmos
At last you’re here
To the celestial, to my soul’s idol
To the most beautified burn me
To the celestial to the moonlight,
To the cheeriest maid
O most best, burn me, consume.
5. Fear of the Hidden
One auspicious, one dropping eye
With mirth in funeral and with dirge in birth
In equal scale weighing delight and dole
Could it came with you?
Hidden in your head, intoxicating
Nor have you herein barred our better wisdom,
Which have freely gone with this affair
How could we be so blind?
Could I keep my faith?
A fault to the dead, a fault against nature
Ministers of the plague making night hideous
They should swallow us all
Could it come with us?
I doubt some foul play
No it cannot be
Peevish opposition
Why should we take it to heart?
Do we fall in madness?
Dead middle of the night
We need you to stay sane
It is all in your mind.
6. Rebellion
All was so planned
But now fear is spreading
Feel violence it’s coming
Follows that you know
My old friend holding
A weak supposal of our worth,
Or thinking by our late dear fellow’s death
Our judgement to be disjoint and out of frame,
Colleagued with the dream of his advantage,
He has not failed to pester me with his doubts
No surrender, feel anger, keep secret
We’re failing for glory
I think it is time to cast traitors
Follow me of else you will be banned.
7. Falling to Apathy
They felt into an infinite sadness,
Then into a fast thence to a watch,
Thence into weakness, thence to a lightness
By this declension,
To madness therein they rave
Remember,
When we used to talk about our futures
An innocent mote to trouble the mind
No more dreams, we are damned
Passing through nature to eternity
They felt like they were really close
To control the entire world
You know that we all must die
I wonder where are you going?
A place of no return most likely.
8. Funereal Dance
They’re dancing around stars
Silver shrine has opened
His black ponderous jaws
To glimpses of nebula
They are martial fools of nature
Hearsed in void out of their sepulchre
Thoughts beyond reaches of our souls,
Corpses have burst their cerements
Cannot believe
Ghost ships in darkness
Cold tombs for our friends
What may this mean?
Obsequious sorrow in obstinate condolement
Suffocating, you died with eyes wide opened
Impious stubbornness, grief
And mourning duties
This must be so, who still has cried?
Unprevailing woe.
9. Soothing in Agony
Tomorrow will never come
Reason has fought with passion
With wisest sorrow we’ve to think on death
Realize
The hope that shines on new horizons
Overconfidence will bring weakness
We have no choice now
Spirit of health against damned ill-omen
Thee airs from heaven face blasts from hell
Thy wicked intents or charitable
My very soul my rhapsody
Sweet notes to soothe you in agony
Do not burst in ignorance, answer me
It’s time to accept judgement
What to do?
Our violent property fordoes itself
And leads the will to end his being.
10. Fade to Blue
Laying alone, I close my eyes,
I see the flood, she calls me back
The summit of a cliff draw me into madness
The fathoms to the sea hear it roar beneath me
Memories coming back, fragments of a life
Visions of beauty, all the wonders I missed
The dreadful regrets the horrible mistake
Disappointed promises and melancholy
Let me walk in the sun
Brave overhanging firmament
Caress of the void on my cold skin
Heart of rebirth
Nothing but a piece of gloom – I miss you
Before a profound dream – remember
What a piece of work – like an angel
What a paragon – like a god – dust
I have lost my mirth
I see her the very place
In this wide emptiness she tempts me
A freezing embrace – fade away
Most dear, my soul to her – my soul to her.
