Marche Funèbre
After the Storm
1. In a Haze
Caught by demons
Destroying trust
A haze of pain
Infecting your love
A cauldron of emotions
Summoning a mist of fear
A haze of anxiety
To possess your mind
Locked the gates
To your pearly harbour
Locked out faith
With whispers of darkness
Lost in torments' maze
A blind hellish haze
Lost in torments' maze
The desperate' ways
Tainted by this miasma
Corrupting your heart
Born from old pain
Disrupted by taint
In a haze you locked your heart
In a haze we went apart
2. Palace of Broken Dreams
Before you can see the light
A blinding of emotions
Before you can feel the light
A descent to your private hell
The palace of broken dreams
Crawling through the trenches
Of love made war
Cutting through strings of words
Resonating pain (of others)
Accept defeat
Heal your wounds
Stand up again
Free from pain
This insight and catharsis
Will lift you to the light
But first… the suffering (the darkness)
No escape from distress
Crawling through the trenches
Of love made war
Cutting through strings of words
Resonating pain (of others)
Get up on your feet
Or down to the ground
Resurrection or defeat
Consumed by despair… of broken dreams
3. Devoid of Empathy
A deserted wasteland
A book without pages
A lack of connection
A tongue with thorns
He acts devoid of empathy
Unaware of his venom, disguised as sarcasm
He hurts devoid of empathy
Words as scourges, damage done
A plain full of shards
A forest without leaves
A shipwrecked soul
A ruin of broken hope
How to control this collateral damage
Of a soul devoid of empathy?
How to live without more trauma
With a soul devoid of empathy?
A deserted wasteland
A book without pages
A lack of connection
A tongue with thorns
A plain full of shards
A forest without leaves
A shipwrecked soul
A ruin of broken hope
Pity the fool, of empathy deprived
Speak out or turn your back
Show love and live by example
Or walk away and show your back
To this deserted wasteland
To this book without pages
To this plain full of shards
To this forest without leaves
4. Enter Emptiness
Like a leaden blanket
A devastating fatigue
Like a siren's call to cease
All lifehunger lost
Enter emptiness – No lust for life
Enter emptiness – No vital energy
Enter emptiness – No will to act
Enter emptiness – In Loneliness
A lesson in lethargy
Born under viral reign
A teaching in nothingness
Time out, knock out
In these tired times – Nothing can be done
In these tired times – Nothing will be done
In these tired times – Only oblivion
In these tired times – Oblivion
Life-eating tiredness
Killer of hopes and dreams
Life-threatening condition
Killing all love for life
5. Stranded
A sparkle of pure light (fire)
Between blue and green (eyes)
Unexpected (fire)
Uncontrolled (fire)
A connection of souls
Like a gentle stream
Fed from opposite wells
Intertwining in bliss
Surfing the waves
On turbulent waters
Finding support
In the arms of love
Countless times we rose
High to the sky
Floating in ecstasy
On clouds only we know
Surfing the waves
On turbulent waters
Finding support
In the arms of love
The higher you rise
To dreamy skies
The deeper the fall
To end it all
Surfing the waves
On turbulent waters
Finding support
In the arms of love
From fire to water
From wind to earth
All hope disbanded
Our love stranded
6. After the Storm
I survived the eye and the storm
Still hear the silence, lasting forever
I endured the call and the end
Still feel the shivers, vertebrae long
Still hear the silence, lasting forever
Head covered, eyes wide shut
Broken, yet breathing
Bleeding, yet moving
A body almost ruined
A mind merely sane
I survived this living hell... to live
After the end... to descend to hell?
What is there to live for?
Why should I keep moving on?
More questions than answers
More tears than laughter
More crippled than healthy
I lifted my head (chin up)
And I opened my eyes
Is this the beginning after the end?
Is this the beginning after the storm?
I remain scarred and deformed
Blood and tears (after the end)
I remain scarred and deformed
Blood and tears (after the storm)
Is this the beginning after the end?
Is this the beginning after the storm?
