ARTROSIS LYRICS

1. Fetish

Insatiable with your symbol
I seek a refuge in the depths of thoughts
Like a road dreaming about a nomad
I raise hands to you

In front of you - granite king
Another god appears
As power without throne
Vein without light
Shadow

The night arose from the scraps of hours
Lured by calling of the pale moon
You chose her and only she
Adorns her temples with the crown of roses

In front of you - granite king
Another god appears
As power without throne
Vein without light
Shadow

What about me granite king?
I ask quietly although I know
That this is you - power without throne
Vein without light

2. The Second Face

Unrestrained sorrow besets and aims at consciousness
Something tells to run, but will there be enough strength to remain oneself?
Her lips whisper something you know well
Better with every moment
Inconsiderate move deprived of chances
Broke that what there was
You raise your head upwards so proudly
You are new in the play of shadows
Hungry for experience that comes along with time
Unruly since ever
You shed a tear, limpid and clear
Only it is that way
With unimaginable sheen it spreads to everything
That changed its sense years ago

3. Under Constraint

I clench my fists instinctively
Chilly wind of orders
Quells in me zeal
I am like a man-machine
Ensnared by will-power
This is right and this is wrong
Empty grimace on my face

Under constraint
My wandering thought
Stirs up shiver of anxiety
What I have lost - I know !
Louder and louder I hear
Ice cracking that I am standing on

That is me - the missed fire
I treat to blurred smile
Newer and newer words
I am like a man-machine
Ensnared by will-power
This is right and this is wrong

Under constraint
My wandering thought

4. Black Truth

In the eyes of looking truth is a picture
Lie glitters with gold
Uttered words
Will not express
Your feelings, thoughts and wisdom

Black truth
Golden lie
Burns in heart
Thorn wrapped in velvet
Wounds deeper and deeper
Silence drinks in colourful memories
quicker and quicker
He is gone

You fight off
Venom that flows from the mouth
Black truth
Golden lie - leaves
Black truth - remains

5. Samuel

From the mouth's depth starving for sound
A quiet tone is being born
You feel stronger
Turned into silence - you know
You are alone again
Time gives no answer
Beyond eyelids tied with dream
Medley of pictures plays
The rhythm of ferocious melody
Throbs in temples
Unique spells
Lose their charm irretrievably

At the heart's bottom the circle you shape
From your enveloped in mist wishes
You plunge your hand in illusions' lake
Because in its depths - alleviation

6. The Poisoned

Sewn with thin thread words - wind round the shape of stone mouth
Abandoned gestures
You come first then me
Deafened with the song of senses you steal something I do not want to give
Fortunes told by cards
You come first then me
A dream faded away
You and me
Two sides of a mirror
Two different ways
Two different words

Somewhere there - another me
Poisoned, forgotten
Starving for memories
Affected - me

7. Homini Noctis

Desire makes you follow me
With light gesture I am calling you
Before sunrise you will be mine
That is what I know about you
Stay with me or dream
About great love
Live inside me overnight
Before sunrise

8. Cosmos

9. Ostatni Raz

Ognistych zwierzen ksztalt
W mych ramion obreczy
Powoli za krokiem krok stawiam
Myslac co nowy przyniesie dzien
Czy zdolam odnalezc cel zatracony gdzies?

Ostatni raz
Mój krzyk powielil chec do pojednania
Lecz zbawienna stracil moc
Smiertelna cisza w nas

Ostatni raz
Czuje i wiem, milczenie na wszystko zgoda
Oczy stracily wdziek
Którym mnie zaczarowales

10. A Wall

[Translated, but not publised. In original disc was released in Polish version - Mur]

You touch a wall
And if you could
You would suck up its plaster
You want to pull a brick
To see
What is behind a wall when you sleep

The light of a slit
Clings to thoughts
When you are pushing through it
You feel breath
On your wet shoulders
Then run into a lift and falls down...

11. Suita
