lyrics

Stormy seas of human soul
Blind forces of necessary will
Direct your path towards unexplored deserts
Do not ask what the logic of this route
It's a roll of the dice in the background of the cosmic drama

Come actors, recite your part
Cry, laugh, suffer, kill
Dissolve like snow in the sun
in the dawn of spring
The human race is destined to eternal oblivion

Our relationship is a web woven
From pure selfish desire
Everyone enjoys the evil of others
Oh, it is sweet as honey
The misfortune that befalls on the next
The joy of surviving

The center of gravity of our ego is lost
The discrepancy between what we want to be
And what we are filled in any way
We continuously live in a perpetual fluctuation
Of pain and boredom

Blocked by a marshy past
Scared of a dark and unknown future
Eternally frozen in a present that wears the soul
and destroys the possibilities to define objectives

immerse yourself in the vastness of existence
The ignoble fate that hits you
It’s an event that happens to a third
You can get out of this prison,
see you, and laugh at the greatest pain

Your body and your story is totally arbitrary
Don’t imprison you in the cages of a self determined by chance
Be the divine spectator of yourself
and deplored the condition that afflicts your flesh
Only you can break the chains that torment the I
