Caught lifeless. Unbearably lifeless Your body lies under the train The darkness, encompassing darkness Has taken you under its reign Neglecting good judgment or reason I joined your unnatural pose In life’s most impetuous treason The setting unshakably froze Together we’re lying in silence Yet lying in silence we lie To those who will follow our guidance. They’ll also lie facing the sky We’re liable for their reliance On false idols founded in lies But only with youthful defiance They’ll see through our lonely disguise Semantics are lost in translation The spirit, however, is not You offer reconciliation But really you offer a knot I have to accept this **** offer I don’t have the strength to refuse Although it is sick and improper I’m tightening fate’s thorny noose

Death
Caught lifeless. Unbearably lifeless Your body lies under the train The darkness, encompassing darkness Has taken you under its reign Neglecting good judgment or reason I joined your unnatural pose In life’s most impetuous treason The setting unshakably froze Together we’re lying in silence Yet lying in silence we lie To those who will follow our guidance. They’ll also lie facing the sky We’re liable for their reliance On false idols founded in lies But only with youthful defiance They’ll see through our lonely disguise Semantics are lost in translation The spirit, however, is not You offer reconciliation But really you offer a knot I have to accept this **** offer I don’t have the strength to refuse Although it is sick and improper I’m tightening fate’s thorny noose
Inspired by Anna Karenina
