A passed moment

As I close my eyes
I see in my mind
A vision, follow-up
Of pictures, like a video
I don’t know whether to cry
Or to be silent
It was something
That wasn’t anything
But a still hope
And now it will
Never ever be
Except a dead end
Dead end
I ride back in the dark night
Thinking: “why does this happen to me
Why couldn’t it work out for me this time?”
I just can’t stand this situation
I have
To deal
With it
The pain
It was honest of you
To say it but still it’s
In my mind like a
Picture I’ll never forget
Alone standing
Have to go on
Without you to
Stand by my side
To help me through this life
There is an empty place where my love for you once was
I felt real positive and good again
But now I feel rejected, can’t believe this is happening
Caused by some difference between you and me
Another moment enlightens my mind like a picture
Under full moon and stars we were outside
I think about it in a real positive way now
I can’t relive it, it’s a pity to say
Walking this path
Of loneliness
While this moment
Is gone, forever
Never to return again
There is an empty place where my love for you once was
I felt real positive and good again
But now I feel rejected, can’t believe this is happening
Caused by some difference between you and me
Another moment enlightens my mind like a picture
Under full moon and stars we were outside
I think about it in a real positive way now
I can’t relive it, it’s a pity to say
As I close my eyes
I see in my mind
A vision, follow-up
Of pictures, like a video
I don’t understand
The way you must have thought
I wish you’d talked to me
About the way you felt inside
But now you’re really gone
You’ve left me without a trace
It feels like pure emptiness
I’ll never forget you girl
I ride back in the dark night
Thinking: “why does this happen to me
Why couldn’t it work out for me this time?”
I just can’t stand this situation
I have
To deal
With it
The pain
I hope that one day you will
Read this and remember
Me as I do you
I’ll never forget you, girl

Why does it feel so wrong
Those feelings are all gone
And now we are without true souls
Rely on machines
To warn us from harm
Old instincts seem gone
No longer alert
Depending on what we are taught
Never to answer our thoughts
Afraid to walk out of the line
Just follow the rules, don’t ask why
Technology wipes
Out our natural selves
Old instincts are gone
No longer alert
Depending on what we are taught
Never to answer our thoughts
Afraid to walk out of the line
Just follow the rules, don’t ask why
The higher we climb
The harder we’ll fall
Progression of mankind
Swain Island to me
Forget about the rules
Try to find your own
Animal inside
Deep down yourself
Rely on machines
To warn us from harm
Old instincts seem gone
No longer alert
Depending on what we are taught
Never to answer our thoughts
Afraid to walk out of the line
Just follow the rules, don’t ask why
Why does it feel so wrong
Those feelings are all gone
And now we are without true souls

Behind my eyes
05:59
|
|

Heartbeat rising, gasping for my breath
Burning adrenaline, flowing through my veins
Muscles cramping, ready to explode
Thoughts of terror enter my brain now
I can’t sleep alone at night
Wake me up before it dawns
Waking up, I’m cold and wet
Not knowing where I remain
The shallow light of the moon
Reveals the colour of the stains
I only dreamed of being here
So vivid and so real
But now my head is clear
And fear is all I feel
I fear
Heartbeat rising, gasping for my breath
Burning adrenaline, flowing through my veins
Muscles cramping, ready to explode
Thoughts of terror enter my brain now
The way my body’s responding to my dreams
The constant fear stains each time I go to sleep
Behind my eyes I am perceiving another reality
Although I’m dreaming, my actions are for real
Not again, I cannot stop it, please help me, wake me up
Give me strength to end this nightmare now
Sleeping, dreaming
Is this what I feel
This nightmare seems so fucking real
Dreaming, killing
This is what I feel
This nightmare is so fucking real
Much too real
Heartbeat rising, gasping for my breath
Burning adrenaline, flowing through my veins
Muscles cramping, ready to explode
Thoughts of terror enter my brain now
I have fear of myself at night
Wake me up before it dawns

Careless

Awakening in a sweat, looking around
Complete darkness, blanket thick, not even a sound
Countless thoughts are rushing
Through my restless mind, a river wild
Never thought I’d fall
I should have seen it coming
Don’t know where I went wrong
Left instead of right
Staring at this picture
Of past times, so secure, clear to see
Subconscious reality
Today it finally struck me
Slapped me in the face, woke me up
Abrupt ending of my dreams
Awakening in a sweat, looking around
Complete darkness, blanket thick, not even a sound
Here
Opening my eyes, but scared to see
What’s become of me now you are gone but
Now I now I must take off and fly away
First time won’t be flawless, falling downwards
Standing up as proud as I can be
Knowing I will find what I was looking for
Time and time I begged you
To listen to my screams, just hear me out
You didn’t even care
Your happiness, yours only
I wasn’t but a doll attached to strings
You didn’t even care
Expendable means to get
Out of your own life as much as you could
Now I know there’s more to this
Than just to follow the dogmatic path
Breaking down
Falling hard
Realize
Never I thought to be here
A revelation of my innerself
Feelings are submerging
From the deepest of my soul
Have to be
Stronger now
Two feet down
Never I thought to be here
A revelation of my innerself
Feelings are submerging
From the deepest of my soul
Awake
Awakening in a sweat, looking around
Complete darkness, blanket thick, not even a sound
Here
Countless thoughts are rushing
Through my restless mind, a river wild
Never thought I’d fall
Today it finally struck me
Slapped me in the face, woke me up
Abrupt ending of my dreams

“Burn !” I hear the people scream
At me, but I can’t see anything
Dying inside
Numbed by fear and by the pain
Awaiting my end, here on this stake
Unbearable, the heat of the flames
Desperate to fly
But chained by fear, insatiable hate
Chained by fear, insatiable hate
But then, all of a sudden, out of the blue
I realize that this isn’t true
It isn’t for real
It’s just a dream, and I have control
Just a dream that I can control
Feelings of supremity, power and control
Even now don’t leave my soul
I know my body will burn
But my revenge will find you all
Yes my revenge will strike you all
A dream, so real, I realize
I feel awake, yet the nightmare is still going on
Struggling inside
A chance to change my destiny
“Dead !” fanning their own hatred
with their ignorance, fools !
Fear, the power of their dogmas
The reason of me parting this earth
Flash, smoke and an explosion
My body has escaped; Panic overtakes
Curse, walls of blazing fire
No one can escape, ha !
Escaping real life
I make up the rules for this game
Lucid dreams
Lucid dreams
Wish I’d sleep on
Never to wake up again
Lucid dreams
Lucid dreams
“Burn !” I hear the people scream
At me, yet I can see everything
It’s in my mind
Not numbed by fear, not by the pain

Capital punishment
05:57
|
|

I’m sitting here all alone
I cannot feel myself
Drowning in a crushing stream
Of thoughts and questions, going berserk
Feels like they are playing with me
A cute fun toy, that’s all my life is
I know, what I did was not so nice,
so why don’t I get what I deserve?
They have killed me four times before
I can’t take this any longer
Kill me, end it, no more respites
Why don’t they make up their fuckin’ minds
It has been too long
For me to feel a thing
I’m completely drained
From reality
Within the walls of my mind
There’s not a single thought
That keeps me going on
I’m defeated by the system
Falling in the deep, unknown
Blackin’ out again
A big, black hole, I cry, out loud
I can’t take no more
My soul
Tormented
Relentless
I remain
Confusion
Desperation
Screaming
In silence
Capital punishment
Exploding in my head
My life is all over
And yet I am not dead
It has been too long
For me to feel a thing
I’m completely drained
From reality
At last my day has come
I’m to be killed again
I sure hope it’s the last
My will to live is completely drained
I’m sitting here all alone
I cannot feel myself
Death my
Only
Way out
Of here
Yearning
For the
After
Life
Capital punishment
Exploding in my head
My life is all over
And yet I am not dead

The pain within
04:34
|
|

Locked up in here
Though I could go
Never feeling free
Feels I’m in a play
Follow the script
No chance to improvise
What unwritten rules
Tell me to do
No chance to improvise
No, I cannot restrain myself
I have got to tear of these ropes and set myself free
Don’t care what they will think, what they will do
Today my true self won’t be restrained anymore
So now I will release my pain within
And replace it with strength to carry out all my dreams
My rock will alter this stream, the river must bend
Ooh yes, I want to matter, remembered for me!
No, I cannot restrain myself
I have got to tear of these ropes and set myself free
My rock will alter this stream, the river must bend
Ooh yes, I want to matter, remembered for me!
Locked up in here
Though I could go
Never feeling free
Feels I’m in a play
Follow the script
No chance to improvise
What unwritten rules
Tell me to do
No chance to improvise
I will not be
How society wants me
So hate me, I just don’t care

Counting stars and not knowing
Where I’ll be when this ends
The scars of this will be showing
A timeless reminance
The fight in me is now raging
A struggle, everso hard
Decisions, I had to take the
To choose right from the wrong
The pressure was put on me
By those who have no remorse
After tonight
Things no longer
Will be the same
My destiny
So insecure
Wish I had full control now
After tonight
Things no longer
Will be the same
I question fate
Why is it me
Wish I had full control now
Fear from the inside
Is working it’s way out
Trying to regain my self-confidence, to be strong
After tonight
Things no longer
Will be the same
My destiny
So insecure
Wish I had full control now
Always were told
They were the ones
The cause of our pain
Hatred so deep
Dogmatic repulse
They are the ones
Hate
Looking at the clock and
Realising this is my time
Got less than one hour
To prepare for my last fight
Fight
One night, I clearly remember
They came and told me why
I had to recover
Our dignity, our pride
Feeling pain within
Cause I am scared to leave tonight
Feeling hate within
Cause I will have to start my fight
Feeling fear within
Don’t know where I’ll be tonight
Though feeling strong about
The outcome of the future fight
Decisions, I had to take the
To choose right from the wrong
The pressure was put on me
By those who have no remorse
Counting stars and not knowing
Where I’ll be when this ends
The scars of this will be showing
A timeless reminance

I want his head
To be sure he’s dead
On a silver plate
Then I’ll be your mate
I want his head

To be sure he’s dead

I want his head
To be sure he’s dead
On a silver plate
Then I’ll be your mate

To be sure he’s dead
On a silver plate
Then I’ll be your mate

My bed; dribbling faeces
Blood between my lips
My fears; unidentified
Messed up state of mind
What’s eating on me
Why do I see things that are not there
Madness is bringing me down
Confusions
No solutions
Inside me
Confusions
No solutions
Madness
Is bringing me down
Confusions
No solutions
Madness
Is bringing me down
What’s eating on me
Why do I see things that are not there
Madness is bringing me down

As I’m standing here on this place
The place which ruined my life
I begin to feel sick
When I think about that dive
I will really look ordinary
To you, but it’s the last thing that it is
Although it’s one of those streetcorners
Which smells like rotting and piss
It was a nice summernight
A breeze came up and fright
Filled that night
At once I smelled it in the air
Looked over my shoulder, saw that stair, down there
A red glow filled the air at once
I shouted down, but no response
Not one
Curious, attracting strong
It smelled evil, wrong
It had me gone
But then
It began
The horror
When
I got down there
When I began the long downclimb
The heat rised, it burned my limbs
Stench of burning bodies growing strong
The heat made the stones melt on the wall
Then I saw
The tunnel long
In front of me
Skulls
All around
Limbs
Lying on the ground
Burning sounds
Skulls
All around
Limbs
Lying on the ground
Burning sounds
Nightmare complete
Slaves at work in moisten the heat
Sickenss me
It was a nice summernight
A breeze came up and fright
Filled that night
At once I smelled it in the air
Looked over my shoulder, saw that stair, down there
A red glow filled the air at once
I shouted down, but no response
Not one
Curious, attracting strong
It smelled evil, it smelled wrong
It had me gone
Then
It began
The horror
When
I got down there
I saw the throne standing right before
Build out of skulls, eyes and bones
Creatures, guards standing still
All because of the masters’ will
He came to me
Pointing his staff
On my face
His mouth opened
And flames came out
He spoke this words:
“Leave this crowd”
He had mercy
On my soul
Down
In the corner
Opened the gate
To hell

Under my stone
Peaceful harmony
Does surround
My restperiod begins
Under the ground
Will they awake me
At the arise
Or will God forget me
No that won’t be nice
My life
Is sucked
Out of me
So you can see
Will it get colder
When the winter comes
No objection
To my situation
No rejection
That I will be eaten
That’s how we all end
There are some things I wonder about
For instance: Can I speak to my neighbour
Is this death
Am I dead
Haven’t got a clear vision about this yet
Could this possibly end or something
Is this death
Am I dead
And when something happens
Like night of the living dead
Will I be a part of it
Or am I not rotten enough
Woooh, I really wonder
What it would be like to eat brains
To scare people
To make them go insane
If the arising takes part
Will I get my own skin back
I really hope so
By the time I get out this one will be gone
Is this death
Am I dead
I don’t want a new one
Cause what would it be like
Maybe I’ll look like some whooze
Or something
Is this death
Am I dead
Under my stone
Lying alone
Down
I’ll see when the time comes
We’ll rise
Good God will care
I’ll take his advice
Will I see old chaps back
Long time no see
Will I recognise them
Will they recognise me
It’s not
What I thought
It would be
Down here
Not that it’s boring
Got enough on my mind
Still curious
What will come
Is there another life
Or none
Down under

1913
Government of Greece
Stated: leprosy
Is a criminal disease
Spina Longa
Just before Greece
There was this island
By the name
Of Spina Longa
Lepers were banned
Men, women, children
No exception
On that law
Spina Longa
Island of the living dead
On this island
Of the living dead
There lived some lepers
They were banned for live
Banned for good
By the government of Greece
‘cause they were contagious
And terminally ill
Some
Tried to escape
And swam
To shore
But they
Were killed
Brutal
And innocent
Spina Longa
Island of the living dead
‘55
Last leper was set free
Free to go
Where he wants
At last
