BLINDEAD LYRICS

1. A₃

Once upon a midnight dreary,
While I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore -

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting...

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
Rapping at my chamber door

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor

Dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before

2. B₆

My place
My tomb
Rest with no view of the world
My desire
Stronger than throughout the lifetime

Dominates the forces of nature
Conquers the worlds neatly hidden away from me.
How beautiful it is to destroy one's body...
Devoid of cognition...

To learn
How far
To learn
How far it hurts
To learn
I don't want you

If only there was a way
If but the tiniest spark
Could meet the light.
How wonderful it would be to give it back
To share the taste
To pass and offer the flame

To be again
To be the origin
To be the death
To be the life
To be myself
To be the God

To be the God

3. S₁

I.
I can speak again,
Call you

I.
Forsaken, fading, ailing, void

I am afraid now

I.
The great bear drowning in the sand
And reaching out

I,
The one of endless sentiments

I want to see, to be unchained

I, a temple in the tempest
I, once desired, haunted with eternal plague
I, ready to swear no evil or pain can ever dwell in me

I am leaving

I,
White, ethereal,
Rising from the desert sands
Craving for wanderers
Silent sounds full of inward decay

I am holding out a hand

I, a temple in the tempest
I, once desired, haunted with eternal plague
I, ready to swear no evil or pain can ever dwell in me

I am leaving

4. E₅

You were the life...
My anonymous philharmonic
All of my notes I composed for you
For you were the music

You were the sound
I dreamed on throughout the wars
And you absorbed and stifled tears
Misfortunes and changes

But you failed to feel me
For you were all unchanged
Talking about the same old things in the same old way

'Twas you who brought the rusty wheel,
That defines what has been left of me
You changed my spirit and you cast a spell on me
Heavy breathing and piercing howl coming from the riverside

You changed my spirit and you cast a spell on me
Heavy breathing and piercing howl coming from the riverside
And my streets were carved with the blood
And the days of evil came

You and your filthy image
Your treacherous eyes filled with vermin and tempest
Thoughts that struggled with wisdom

You freed the vulture, thus vulture now they call me and vulture I am

You forgot me
I forgot you

5. N₄

She was always the one and only
Strong
Proud
A mount of stone amid countless stares
She, always lost in reflection so deep and distant, vaguely disturbing
She, whose gist is hard to define

Wanted to be properly understood
Consistently lost in a long and stubborn slumber

She...

The wolf mother
Full of concern
And endless vigor
Utterly sublime

The finger of death across her chest
The fear of the grave rising dreadfully
Devoid of children, through tears she spoke of ultimate conversion

And the destroyer came and left her nailed

She was fading slowly
Drifting back to her original solemn silence,
Her extraterrestrial scarlet evanescing
Leaving gray debris full of memories of unconditional love

Tangled coils writhing quietly and dispersing
In the shadows of the rocky throat
The pearl gravel resting peacefully in its eternal place
Forever casting its light

Forever casting its light

6. C₇

Selfishly
Never did we mention
Theirs names
Our names

Lost in the image
Born of reflections
Of our prolific
Imagination

Convulsing with shivers
With a single touch of the brush
We quivered
Never knowing why...

We
Dying for sheer simplicity
We
Searching for own eyes in the dark
We
We longed for solitude like for the light

Like for the labyrinth of dusty paths for cat's endless meandering...
We lost the sense of place and time,
And the stars of our fate in the sky died out

7. E₂

You have waited eons to meet us
Rising up high with your peaks touching the clouds
Caressing them
You made the sky smile

'Tis this blackness that affected you so
As no one feels safe in the dark
And children in the least
Darkness is like a dreary and absymal slope of defeat

Like the stone foals racing through the black ocean waves

Emerging from a dreadful and ceaseless hall
Where the air is heavy with broken promises
That crashed down on a liar's head
With the flutter of wings

Like the stone foals racing through the black ocean waves

The noise of hidden machinery begins to gradually disturb you...

You
Who turn rage into creation
Covered with
Dust
Ice
And lava

You
Entombed by ghosts
Buried by reflections

8. A₇Bsence

And maybe it is the other way around
If they're still alive haunting my frozen, rigid face
And each time they visit they leave a spark

Penetrating
Suffocating
Punishing me

Punishing me

They,
The primal reason
The force ripping from the bottom
Forcing two moments in time to become one
Two moments passing through space in unison

For they are the sunken city of dreams
An underwater friend
For they are phantoms born of madman's delusions brought to life

Or maybe it was the other way around

And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death He had come like a thief in the night
And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel,
And died each in the despairing posture of his fall

And the flames of the tripods expired
And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all
