Marche Funèbre
Einderlicht
1. Scarred
Eyes mirror the soul
Its deep longing for love
Its dark shadows of pain
Reading life like a book
Eyes mirror the soul
Its long yearning for life
Its dismal trail of tears
Reading life like a book
Turn the page, all the way back
All the pain, the tears, the sorrow
Never to be forgotten!
Reflections of grief
Post-traumatic sorrow
Lament in your eyes
Cut deep in your heart
Where’s the cure for a scarred heart?
Where’s salvation for past distress?
Will time heal all wounds?
Will seasons cease the aching?
Oh, tenderness caress
A scarred heart
Oh, love comfort
Past pains
Turn that page, and accept the past
All the pain, the tears, the sorrow
It’s there, never to be forgotten
Your pain shouldn’t be forgotten!
Built upon the ashes of the darkness past
Lessons learned from the book of life
Gaze into eternity, with open eyes
Spread your phoenix wings, and fly!
2. The Eye of the End
Inside this endless tunnel
A path of pain and deceit
I wander without hope
And march towards my doom
The eye of the end
Draws me near
A new hope
For a life forlorn
Puddles and pools reflecting
The demons inside my head
I see the flickering teeth
Of vile monsters I create
Claustrophobia!
I wander without hope
And march towards my doom
Walls crawling around me
Like snakes suffocating their prey
Focus on a distant light
Escape this claustrophobia
Back on my feet, eyes wide open
A tunnel of black, with in the back
A cold white light calling me
To the edge of my existence
The eye of the end
Draws me near
A new hope
For a life forlorn
I wander without hope
And march towards my doom
3. When All Is Said
In times of innumerable interactions
Brought forth by modern age
Infinite legions of lonely souls
Dwell in empty rooms
Unable to attach (o solitude)
Incapable to interact (o solitude)
Inept to obtain (o solitude)
A social blanket (of comfort)
A life filled with fake likes
Others’ success as sole company
Portraying you as a loser
Mirroring your social inability
Life disconnects
All reasons to exist exit
Life disconnects
All reasons to live vanish
When all is said
But screams into the void
When all is done
That you ever thought of
Nothing remains
Unable to attach (o solitude)
Incapable to interact (o solitude)
Inept to obtain (o solitude)
A social blanket (of comfort)
An endless emptiness
The cold embrace of oblivion
A claustrophobic desolation
Stretching its hollow arms
Life drained of all will to live
Final solace... when all is said
Life drained of all will to live
Final solace... when all is said and done
4. The Maelstrom Mute
Death will come and will wear your Eyes
The silent crumbs of my demise
Death will come and will wear your eyes
With a deadened face a life unties
Death will come with your eyes—
This death that walks with us
From morning till night,
This death sleepless and deaf,
He’s like an old regret
Foolish and weak.
Your eyes will be a useless word,
A muted cry, a cry in silence.
As you see them each morning
When you are alone
You see them each morning
In the mirror staring back.
It is a cherished hope,
That day we too shall know
That you are life
And you are nothing.
Death will come and will wear your Eyes
The silent crumbs of my demise
Death will come and will wear your eyes
With a deadened face a life unties
For every one of us death has a look.
Death will come with your eyes.
It will be like giving up a frailty,
With a dead face re-emerging, in the mirror
Listening to closed lips.
We all go down into maelstrom mute
5. Deformed
All life grows
Seed to deceased
And in the process
Tragedies will occur
Tragedies, the ill-fated fragments
Defining our tree of life, till death!
All life starts
With a myriad of chances
Every choice kills some
Yet is origin of others
Chances, translated possibilities
Defining our tree of life, till death!
Like trees rise to the light
Man needs light to grow
Like day needs night to be
Man needs to revert to grow
Like the branch holding life
Will it hold and give another chance
Or will it break and end existence
Only leaving the tree scarred
And broken bones down below
All life ends... Deformed
Unlike a deformed tree, still striving for light
Misfortune might end man’s growth
A collapse of chances
When hurt and grief strangle all hope
All life ends... Deformed
Deformed – fragmented reality
Deformed – culture of denial
Deformed – projected pain
Deformed – life without hope
Life ends with a rope, or a ceased crimson stream
Life ends without air, nor heartbeat
Life ends without the will to live, devoid of hope
All life ends... Deformed
6. Einderlicht
Mijn haren, uitgestrekt in de wind
Mijn armen, reikend naar het firmament
De spanning van de laatste uren
De intensiteit van mijn voornemen
De kracht lopend door dit lichaam
Als het vuur op de dorre hei
Als de wind op de woeste zee
Een gloed flakkert op (in mij)
Een nieuw gevoel wordt geboren
Een oeroude kracht ontwaakt
Mijn gevoel voor tijd verdwijnt
Mijn gestel verliest zijn waarde
Mijn laatste passen
De finale grens
Ik steek nu over
Vaarwel vreemde wereld
Vaarwel wrede wereld
Ik mocht je wel
Vaarwel wrede mensen
Ik ontneem jullie de macht
Die mij beperkte
Een oneindige diepgang
Een tijdloze dimensie
Zullen mijn dood verklaren
Hoe zal ik gaan?
Hoe zal het zijn?
Hoe zal ik lijden?
Het besluit genomen
Voor een laatste keer
Het heft in eigen handen
Het mes genomen
Voor de laatste keer
Het heft in mijn handen
Eindeloosheid, hier kom ik
Moeder aarde, jou verlaat ik
Eeuwigheid, hier ben ik
Einderlicht, omarm mij
Een laatste keer inademen
En dan toesteken
Een zucht des doods
Mijn laatste adem… verlaat mij
Een rivier van bloed
Mijn levensvloed… verlaat mij
Een laatste keer opkijken
En dan doodgaan
Een levenloos lichaam
Mijn levenskracht… verliet mij
Een zielloos corpus
Mijn naam…leeft verder?
