The remains of a past emerged in my memory The sad melody replays in my heart But it’s the time to say goodbye The slow agony invades my fears Do I have the right of regret? I was butting in beautiful speech In closed labyrinths My eyes become heavy This ephemeral feeling so delicate that I was searching for Was only mixed blood to persist And in the sad water be alone with myself When the reaper will ring I see my world behind a glass So I’m writing my latest letters In the torrent of truth The halo of fire blind me The latest instants that I seal Will only have the regret’s bitterness A life rules by abstract principles Is there a reason of this doubt? Is there an epilogue on this road? The love rocked me of illusions So much beautiful day to hope So many years to avoid Far away of the red’s madness That I had ended before The stars are fleeing away

Confronted to this absurd theatre This condition witch I enter in I can’t stop to notice In witch point we missed The candle is dying in the wind Overwhelming sign of transience To this frightful masquerade The success is only a facade This prosperity that open it arms to us Is only a trap witch will crush us The will go forward is natural But human will let sequels Inevitable stigma of time The time when we were present If only we could content ourselves What needs would remain? Lightning will catch us quickly Because we are walking on a wire Our imprint is an abuse We are exhaust sick attempts What right have we got on the space? Are all these scars, these traces Our only ability? I’m dying of this absurd degree The sky becomes dark with an acid rain The sea plays the dark parade The earth blows its putrid breath And the wind becomes arid Why is our madness leading us to our end? This moment so frightening Destruction is the master world of a missing future My sick voice is scuffing Far away from the human’s concerns Did the money have to make us important For we can’t grant any credits To the man who doesn’t talk but hear? Locked in a dream of glory They won’t dare Who is this man without any value who is coming? Nobody sees what he thinks He detains the key The key of truth If only the miser man didn’t deafened To hear the cries in the forest

Duty leads me in the water where I am But, near of the end, a door unlocks Lucidity hits me more and more What did I undergo through age? The purpose of taking care of his neighbour Was just a soft lie All this sufferance enduring in vain Are only acids that gnaw at me Why couldn’t I be selfish? I leave alone while they stay I was trampled on for my kindness While their laughter burst Clouds are now released I see all your betrayal, liars! Your dark plans destined to fear While you infiltrated yourself in the ranks What glory can we retain to gnaw at ourselves? Why is it so simple to regret? The vision of an enchanted world It collapses year after year Despite my faith for the human kindness The truth is evidence A demon named And creep in sad deviances The modern myth is born The ashes and the disillusionment Wisdom’s flower is faded And humans are behaving likepawns The blood flows like gold Current money in a nihilistic world Where interest eclipses the death While a human is only a name on a list Why underestimate life’s character? Human and his bestial desire The rage of crushing the others Subtly to become the master Macabre dance followed by reverence Plead allegiance But far from the wise The truth escapes in falsehood’s arms To accomplish the gloomy ritual The one who hides his own face Is turning to the sky Contemplate his landscape These scars that he left Never deleted again The future will be build on some cries In the obscure darkness A theatre of damned I can see it through my window A verse drama forever condemned Humanity’s pleasure Is forever sealed in an evil gladness

The world turns off The hopes are drowning And everything’s disenchanted I hear some voices They draw me far away from the world My body holds me from this crusade Questions are eternal But answers don’t unravel Was this course just vanity? The hourglass is losing its last sand And I just realize the absurdity My pilgrimage was vain The ascension was only illusion The funeral masquerade of all a deception But human has his reasons That can’t see when he prays Did we have to kneel down in the darkness And stay the master’s sheep? Did we have to rise and see? We’ve grown too fast Without any escape Rocked in all these myths Where nothing ever skidded But faith is fragile And questions are not subtle Why such fear of the high? Why glimpse this haunt between my wrinkles? (Between my wrinkles) So many things never left in doubt So many properties lost in this mission (lost in this mission) Did we have to deprive of the unknown? Did we have to deprive of the sight? I’m drowning in a tear’s vortex The wind has already stopped to blow What have I left from my weapon? In this purgatory, I was allowed My promised land was only a dream Bursting from the revealed lies Before my soul arises

about

Time is a tragedy contemplating its own lot,
When the reason immerses itself in its sweat madness,
While the curtain is laying down.
