A filthy place, an open tomb,
A rotten stench: inverted womb.
Drunk upon the thick odeur of death
I can't recall how here, I came
Don't understand if I'm to blame;
I had no chance to catch my breath.
Pale glow through the phosph'rent screen
Shallow shapes, a forest green;
Enslaved, or interested? Both?
Square shaped mirror, inward gaze,
Paths of dream: a misty maze;
Himself, an object which to loathe.
Struggling tree, steps of silence
By the heroine's gates
Daily nights by the nightly daylight
Condemned by the fates
I saw you through the interlace
A dream in which I saw your face
And of the mist, some left my frame.
But not for long, I couldn't know
How to leave and where to go—
A change, yet all remained the same.
Struggling tree, steps of silence
By the heroine's gates
Daily nights by the nightly daylight
Condemned by the fates
It colours me: I turn to pale,
Deadly silent, roaring gale—
For want of will and courage lost.
Remember I, what see I did?
The broken joy, from which I hid?
Heroine, the one, that reach I must?
Struggling tree, steps of silence
By the heroine's gates
Daily nights by the nightly daylight
Condemned by the fates
Crumbling tree, roaring silence
I bid thee, heroine, wait!
Daily nights by that blazing twilight.
Blind challenge of fate.
Perfect albums don't have to be long, but the music has to hit the heart and the nerve. This is one of them. After I liked the digital album I ordered one of the last CDs. It arrived today. The CD has a special velvety feel. And an autograph card to go with it. Thank you Mariusz! I hope to see you live one day. Keep up the good work! ConcertJunkie
