Mirrorthrone - Dismay lyrics
rate meOnce a man built a large and grotesque wall<br />
Of cracked stones, dead hopes and bruised limbs.<br />
He wanted it to protect himself against a deep growl<br />
Of a storm carrying remorse and memories of sins.<br />
Below the faded sun, he spent his entire lifetime<br />
In hiding from any truth, in masking his crime<br />
In an attempt to castrate his already sexless flesh, <br />
Blindly fleeing from any recollection of thresh.<br />
<br />
Thus this pathetic living corpse was joined<br />
By other insipid souls in this work for them purloined.<br />
And generations massively adopted the habit<br />
Instituted by this mad man drowning in his vomit.<br />
Gathered they were, each saying no to life<br />
With such ignorance, overabundant and rife, <br />
But still firmly meaning what they could only ignore<br />
Chained themselves under a sky to love and implore.<br />
<br />
But what can he, who has not pierced eyes, do<br />
When he discovers such a wretched view:<br />
Impotent armies of degenerated and naked warriors<br />
Brandishing a banner where it is with gold thread knitted "ERROR".<br />
<br />
There were so many of them at the bottom of the wall<br />
That even in one hundred years you couldn't count them all<br />
Though weak, their number was doing that one man alone<br />
Couldn't make them fall and destroy their throne.<br />
<br />
Giving up all phantasms of grandeur, there is no boiling war to be declared; <br />
Just frozen and wild fancies, orgasmic visions of excruciated traitors immolated.<br />
Glaring at nothing but my own rage, feeding from my overwhelming hate<br />
Without melancholy but fury, I collapse in my engrieved fate.<br />
Of the two available roads one leads to starvation, and the other one to prostitution.<br />
The first one embraced me, as I choose death and self-abnegation.<br />
Now the memories of their distorted faces is slowly fading away, <br />
Even refusing to follow me as I sink into merciless dismay.
