merciless nightmares I created, In my own realm of hatred A seemingly endless darkness i invaded But I came out, torn and jaded. I had a firm grip on the bones and flesh of a dead man, His corpse alienated me, made me inhuman, Like ether, colourless, lifeless. Hence, from myself I ran. I found myself in a serene place, I called it paradise. Provided me with hot water, washing away the sleepless cold nights. There are colds parts in me, And the darkness is always there, In moments of loneliness, in moments of despair. I am alone yet the downfall of my hopes accompanies me. I have one desire, I strive to kindle a fire using my heap of ashes, My heap of shattered desires.

Heap of Ashes
merciless nightmares I created, In my own realm of hatred A seemingly endless darkness i invaded But I came out, torn and jaded. I had a firm grip on the bones and flesh of a dead man, His corpse alienated me, made me inhuman, Like ether, colourless, lifeless. Hence, from myself I ran. I found myself in a serene place, I called it paradise. Provided me with hot water, washing away the sleepless cold nights. There are colds parts in me, And the darkness is always there, In moments of loneliness, in moments of despair. I am alone yet the downfall of my hopes accompanies me. I have one desire, I strive to kindle a fire using my heap of ashes, My heap of shattered desires.
