After so many years
Broken chains and lights of the real
“I to die, and you to live”
Your eyes were throbbing for the sun
How can you cry again
For a shadow ending its reign?
Barefoot and humble
I played my role
I fought to make sure that life itself is whole
Stop embracing the emptiness
And smash your mind into my eyelid
Whose lashes keep star-like beauty safe from indifference
Hestia’s unknown lover
My heart is full, hence her fire is bright
Drunken blood of boiling light
Fate has been cruel to you
You condemned me to death
You’re condemned now by the truth
Barefoot and humble
I played my role
I fought to make sure that life itself is whole
Stop embracing the emptiness
And smash your mind into my eyelid
Whose lashes keep star-like beauty safe from indifference
What’s my last desire, you ask?
Before my voice becomes the smoke of a frozen fire
Promise me that you’ll torment my sons
The same way I have tormented you
Nothing but virtue should be dwelling on their tongues
Make them guilty of the passage, of the right view
Force them break the chains of the fire cave
Barefoot and humble
I played my role
I fought to make sure that life itself is whole
Stop embracing the emptiness
And smash your mind into my eyelid
Whose lashes keep star-like beauty safe
What is wisdom?
What is wisdom, you dare ask?
My words are melting any self-glorifying mask
‘cause I know nothing is true
Except our life is a hue
Of different states of ignorance
My legs are heavy
I’m not afraid to go
Is it worse or not?
Only gods can know

The Golden Pig

Traveler, this is my story
The story of the man who lost it all
Hey! You should heed my word
Listen here and learn
Never seek the Golden Pig
Long before she's wasted
Mother loved me with an aching heart
After he's been drinking
Father sees me like a bastard son
Oh, what a shame
For all this life I've lived in pain
They all went chasing
They all starved waiting for some love
Ideals shaken
When the means are tough but never enough
I tell you son
Don't glorify the Golden Pig
I do believe that the sun shines above us still
And by doing a loving act, you can be redeemed
But solitude has been a blessing in my life
This shadow is the only place where I can hide
They all went chasing
Hoping they could turn their fate around
Got lost in the wasteland of their minds
We need more than a lifetime
Oh, it's never enough
To learn not to trust
The Golden Pig
They all went chasing…

Power and Poison

Man is embodied perfection outside
Feeding off of illusions to hide
Emotions torn into strips so easily
Feelings turned into dust
See that you’re fighting unconscious addiction
You live with the idea of being in control
Snobbery reigns from its beautiful kingdom
The poison is in your blood
So, try to find the balance
Live peacefully in chaos
Here hides technology's glory
the pervasive sense of being
Life shown through a story
Flows in rolling rivers
Filling that void that appears
Sometimes
Embrace the mess, the real and the raw
You`ll never find the love, the pure one
By scrolling down the wall of someone
You`ll never find peace
Only facing the lies behind all the filters
Emotions, feelings, all sent through emojis
Knowledge laid hold of by a single search
Human cognition remains untouched
As long as technology wins
You tried to find the balance
Here hides technology's glory
the pervasive sense of being
Life shown through a story
Flows in rolling rivers
Filling that void that appears
Sometimes
Embrace the mess, the real and the raw
Here hides technology's glory…
