Fade

You braved rain and cold dark sky

Spent thousand winter nights

Let a dimmed light show the way

I traveled through space and time

Knew every form of sacrifice

Lived thousand lives in a day

No, I was never loved this way

I crushed everyone who tried

Now call it by the name it lacks

While it hangs from a frail thread

Or just take back your broken vow

I came to know love as a prophecy

Among wars, curses and lunacy

And fleeing from battlegrounds

As the last snowflake falls down

You see it now by what it is

This little promise of future life

You can't carry it in your eyes

Or hold it tight in your hands

It takes its place in the wind

The rain washes it clean

Until it is lost in the sand

I'll remember fate was fulfilled

When it'll restore and rebuild

Until then look at me as I fade

You braved sea, earth and wildfire

Answering to a blind desire

Of reaching a distant empty dream

I left years etched on cold hard ice

I'll never discover if I was right

If it was real or just a lucid whim

But as it melts in the sunbeam

I might be seeing the light

We've come to a moment of doubt

Caught in a lasting frost killing hour

With frozen hands and much to give

Answer me if you can answer at all

Cause I remember the first snowfall

And how it pour down on me

Tell me if your sweet neglection

is worse than my own treachery

From thin cutting cold air 

I've made something beautiful

Which could bifurcate right through

I stayed and prayed as long as I could

My wish never came true

To know the truth I had to steal it from you

Guns Blazing

Nobody is coming to save us now

From the demise and the doom

Or from the final moment of truth

We're the lies we told ourselves

And the ruthless deaths we choose

I don't beg for mercy, I give no truce

I never forgotten when you said

I was the trial, the jury and offense

Denying you repentance

Waging wars through thunderstorms

You were chasing your ghost

Searching for bombs to dismantle  

And an enemy to chase

Inventing the blame, setting fire to the flame

I'll just let the light sweep 

through everywhere love cast shadows

If time refuses to unravel I'll do it myself

I'll just let the time pass

And I know we'll see it being justified

In a straight line or simply for itself

As the truth teller that it is

Serving justice guns blazing

Nobody is coming to save us now

From the fantasies that we created

Or from the faith we desecrated

We're the laws that we broke 

And the bodies we left in our wake

I don't give up, I don't run away

I never knew to feign grace

Smile and wave with my hands tied

Living someone's life

Making a choice with someone's voice

Roaming this lawless land

I can't afford to lose myself here

Yet you don't believe me

I won't remain bound to blind chance

Part with fate one last time

Dishonor my name, lose the fight

Leave curses hanging in the sky

Heavier than heaven, larger than life

Somewhere lost between envy and bliss

Blinded by will taking it for what it is

By The Fire (Christmas Song)

I'll never understand

how fast decembers come and go

They just tell the stories themselves

And we carry them in our ears

As months turns into years

And we barely see them go

I don't mind days going by

Like sand slipping through my grasp

Life has its way of solving itself

And if waiting is all it takes

I'll lie in bed, I'll dream awake

with future days of while ago

All I know is the story 'till here

About the things so dear to me

All I am and all I've became

I'll watch things getting better 

As sad songs and love letters

Will be burning by the fire

Which is burning brighter

This time of the year

I wish I simply knew

The new colors seasons will bring

To paint an endless stream of sunrises

All I want is to recognize the skies

Watch it with new eyes

Not missing anything at all

While nothing is promised

I'll keep on forging new getaways

And future landscapes for tomorrow

Where peace and light will follow

So we can rest and resign

And redesign a world of our own

Siren

I'm million years old and 
I've never got to fall asleep
In either of my lifetimes
From sunfalling to sunrise
I only knew the torment of the wait
Which used to creep by the days
And it'd lengthen in pale nights
Til one time you heard me calling

In all my wandering discoveries
I found out time wasn't mine to lose
And one day it could turn on me
But I've never gave up destiny
And I chased every promise of life
Through dark days and pale nights
Til one time I heard you calling

A long time ago
I left a part of my soul
back in your promise land
And with your own hands
You still want more

My love is an ancient curse
You've set yourself free
My love is a dying prayer
In your time of need
My love is a faded dream
You've woke up in time
A blinding light
A poem you failed to rhyme
A dimmed fantasy of eternity
A tale a siren would tell
In your silent sleep

I saw my soul breaking in two
As my heart rebelled violently
I knew I've lost it to the waves
Across the island in your gaze
My eyes had the size of the moon
Filling the sky, ceasing the gloom
And soon darkness met the day
I never could wish it all away

You came to me like a bliss
And a bless I've always craved
At the reach of my bare touch
You can only dream so much
Til the want outgrow the need
Blinded by light, I see clear
The journey that guides me

My love is an ancient curse
You've set yourself free
My love is a dying prayer
In your time of need
My love is a faded dream
You've woke up in time
A drowning light
A death you refused to die
A plea sent to outer space
A tale a siren would tell
As you drift away

Tell me when was the last time
You've closed your eyes
So you could see in the dark
When was the last time
You saw heart and reason part
Somewhere in a dream
Loosening hold on all that you know
So through silence you can soar to me

Love and light holding hands
(I've never knew death so alive)
In a kiss where all pleas ends
(In a place of sweet sacrifice)
You sought for me so here I am
(I see the end and the start unite)
In the deep sea of the north lands
(As wish and illusion collide)
From sunfalling to sunrise
To solstices and sunsets

Time became imaginary
With a promise to return again
To the moment where it all began
I knew silence and I knew peace
of single years lasting for centuries
As nothing happened and nothing
kept happening

You showed me grace at such great cost
Though it was a line we both crossed
Breaking the waves which we were tossed
Can you say every love was simply lost?
I'll always wonder in my deepest thoughts
Will every grace come at such great cost?

My love is an ancient curse
You've set yourself free
My love is a dying prayer
In your time of need
My love is a faded dream
You've woke up in time
A boundless light
A merciless sacrifice
An ungrateful state of wait
A tragic tale a siren would tell
To the broken waves

I'm million years old
Watching them unravel
Through each lifetime
Every love, every time
And forging once again
The ending with my hands
'til it'd be covered by the sand
Letting it wash ashore
It's all a dream like it was before

I wonder if I'll see you again
and I think I might do

Lost in the landscape
somewhere in the sunsets of northwest

Nemesis

I know there's nowhere to go from here

And though I came this far in a slow climb

To watch time fade and pulverize in my hands

I also know faith brought me then here I am

I wouldn't know where to go if I could go back

And I never will because I simply don't deserve

All is answered and by default it is resigned

And I really thought all those battles were mine

All of us are someone's devil

And we all got a war inside our mind

I'm just the last one standing

The one who won before the fight

And to rage against the blinding light

And until salvation find me

I'll be the nemesis

I know there's nowhere to go from here

As everythings fades into mere nothings

And all the means became sad loose ends

But if faith brought me then here I am

Look at me, you'll see I seek no redemption

What's forgiveness when you refuse to yield?

With the iron and steel intent to always go on

Towards these battles of mine and then on

No cause is worth dying for

For one who's never lived at all

I've seen empires rise and fall

I learned to kill for what I want

Don't give me a new chance

For destination and consequence

'Cause none of it will matter

in the long run

All of us are someone's devil

And we all got a war inside our mind

I'm just the last one standing

The one who won before the fight

And now I know

there's nowhere to go

That world is not here anymore

If it ever was

Last Hour of The Day

These are simple days 

I know how they start

And how they end

Sometimes a thought

comes to mind

I've been true to myself

Avoiding no questions

Forging solutions

And giving them time

I don't run and I don't hide

From my days of wondering

and my nights of longing

Or from the noise silence makes

In the last hour of the day

I haven't had much to say

And it'd do no good

If I'd decide to try

It's been a difficult time

to everyone after all

I've been careful

Roaming haunted corners

and corridors of the mind

Painting shadows on the wall

I don't run and I don't hide

From my days of wanting

and my nights of faltering

Or from the sense it all make

In the last hour of the day

And if it breaks my heart

It is also my saving grace

Just to know how much

difference the truth makes

In the last hour of the day

Set In Stone

We both know we know the truth

And every reality bigger than words

And every feather mightier than sword
That tries so hard to cut off their roots
But we both know we know the truth
Zombies and dreamers marching on
Trying to keep time from moving on
While they say their prayers out loud
Civil wars and angry storms raging on
Twisting rules and breaking bones

Closing in with a wall of sound

Standing on the cliff you might find

It's too late to retrace one step behind

Too late to block and destroy the fate

Or a past that you fed and wants to erase

No matter if you were not there to live

No matter if you won't be there to see

Though now is dead and gone

It's set in stone, my dear

We both know we know the truth

And we both know how much it means

Though it keeps tearing apart at the seams

And it keeps coming out right through you

So we both know we know the truth

I know you don't dare looking back now

You go on blocking the noise somehow

Because you can't afford to turn away

Still dreamers and sleepwalkers yell out

Their empty prayers as a wall of sound

As if we couldn't see the light of day

Standing on the cliff you might find

It's too late to retrace one step behind

Too late to block and destroy the fate

Or a past that you fed and wants to erase

No matter if you believe no one knows

No matter if you think we should let it go

You just can't change what's done

Now it's set in stone

As we see time going by the boards

Something you'll beg, borrow and steal

And run so sweaty to reach for more

Though it is not yours to lose

To twist, to bend or to use

To alter, to hunt or pursuit

And in spite of you time will

tell the truth because we both know

It did so many times before
