INSANIA LYRICS

1. Preface

Try to imagine dark forests with moonlit lakes, numerous hills, rushing streams, rivers...
think of misty waterfalls gushing down mountain sides, unknown creatures living deep in woods...
and minstrels who travel on foot through an autumn country gathering this all in their music...
Open your eyes and you're back in the cybernetic world... but all the borders vanish deep in
human mind... have you ever listened to thousands years old news on a digital tuner?...
This is Crossfade.

2. Winter Warning

Raven's black wings screen the sky from my eyes
Through an evil scenery I fall to insane visions
These meddle with an imaginative reality
This way in our country winter starts

Trees raise their dry arm-bones to beseech the sky
Under their dead leaves earth stops to breathe
In the distance now I often hear the winter warning
This way in our country winter starts

[Myth Insania, Book II, Psalm I, Verse 1-8]

3. Shriek From The Mountains

Lying in dreams, I rip through iron dreams
Waiting for falling star of sanity
Beating prophet's heart
Blind machines' black screams
Breaking out of the narrow space of sanity, saying:
Psychic sore never more
Upside down ballistic floor
Endless water, endless shore
That leads you close to death

Moving down this way people go and pray
Rounding all the time they circle everyday
Shrieking melancholy sonorating among hills
Forests, woods, trees, rivers, sky
Vibrating with mountains' shrill, saying:
Psychic sore never more
Upside down ballistic floor
Endless water, endless shore
That leads you close to death

Swarms of waned stars breach eternity
Fade into black, lose identity
Negation of vanity, anti-logic quality

Looking at the sky you're watching your mind fly
Floating untouched by sane truth
Therefore will never die
Coming stellar light, evil dark flying free
Running speeding time that brings you close to end, saying:
Psychic sore never more
Upside down ballistic floor
Endless water, endless shore
That leads you close to death

[M.I., B. II, Ps. II, 9-38]

4. Vertigo

Flames burn, sneak to my eyes
I stand on the brim of a crater and cry
My eyes drip to lava, what life says is lie
I look down at hot streams
Suddenly my head swims
I don't feel my body, I don't feel my mind
To fly away and forget all these lies
I long to fly away with you, just let me close my eyes
I long to be, long to flee, with you I long to fly
From this world I long to fade away, from this world I long to die

Like a shade, lame, I climb the slope
I bleed, flow, wade through stones
My eyes drip to lava, what life says is lie
I look down at hot streams
Suddenly my head swims
I don't feel my body, I don't feel my mind
To fly away and forget all these lies
I long to fly away with you, just let me close my eyes
I long to be, long to flee, with you I long to fly
From this world long to fade away, from this world long to die

In my sense, in my core, in my voice, in my roar
Something's whirling, extinguished fire spouts choking smoke
My soul's burning in fire, I am fading like snow

In my blood, in my ego I can feel vertigo
Something's whirling, extinguished fire spouts choking smoke
My soul's burning in fire, I am fading like snow

In my hand snow burns
I break through ice and defy the glare
My eyes drip to lava, what life says is lie
I look down at hot streams
Suddenly my head swims
I don't feel my body, I don't feel my mind

[M.I., B. II, Ps. III, 39-70]

5. Good Night

Journey's at the end, your wings
Are rotting away, greet new coming day
Now all dreams of yours are dead

I don't know how to say, life, how much
I love you, ice grows over me
There is nothing I can do

Don't try to shout No!, when winter
Is coming slow, muse your early age
Back hundreds of years ago

Nature cries for you, wanting you
Back to her womb
Now prepare yourself... the end is the start

And the funeral drum sounds to me like fun...

I wish you good night
When against sun you close your eyes
I wish you good night
When Nature is taking you back
I wish you good night
When good old ground embraces you
I wish you good night
When they meet you with love.

[M.I., B. II, Ps. IV, 71-91]

6. Under Ground

Bunch of flowers fade falling into a grave
Losing light, losing weight, they go to meet their fate

Inside lying me, just half I perceive
Losing light, losing weight, now endlessly free

Something happens up and down
My fantasy works at full speed under ground
Earth's shielding my body like black snow
My thoughts miss any rational basis, my organs glow

Inside lying me, just half I perceive
Losing light, losing weight, now endlessly free

With a raging face God lies the next place
I hear him turn in his grave like all other days

Something happens up and down
My fantasy works at full speed under ground
Earth's shielding my body like black snow
My thoughts miss any rational basis, my organs glow

Sign of New Dark leaves you far from the mark
Where I see you run through the solitary land
Night falls down
Deep cold waters flow
Under earth on which you're dying slow
Where I see you lie on the solitary ground
Waiting,... good bye.

Bunch of flowers fade falling into a grave
Losing light, losing weight, going to their fate

My elder sister goes to burn my things and clothes
Fire flares against the Moon
Feel my time coming slow

Something happens up and down
My fantasy works at full speed under ground
Earth's shielding my body like black snow
My thoughts miss any rational basis, my organs glow

[M.I., B. II, Ps. V, 92-122]

7. The Changing Of The Guard

Far away behind the city's protective shield
Nobody can quit alive
Far away behind old rusty machines' dumps
That form the city's border lines
The land is dominated by a mouldy slime
In all directions crawling on at night
Screeches in horror that fly through the endless space
From the surrounded city come out
And slime is spreading wider
Trying to get inside!

The silent land, your eyes never beheld
With dead trees drowned in wet dust
A lot of streams sprung out of the poisoned earth
Make up lakes of pus
The land is dominated by a mouldy slime
In all directions crawling on at night
Screeches in horror that fly through the endless space
From the surrounded city come out
And slime is spreading wider
Trying to get inside!

From the first time, when the first rags of muddy slime
Out of sea crept to dry land
And to cold stars their desperate voices shouted
"I am man!",
The land is dominated by a mouldy slime
In all directions crawling on at night
Screeches in horror that fly through the endless space
From the surrounded city come out
And slime is spreading wider
Trying to get inside!

[M.I., B. II, Ps. VI, 123-152]

8. U.R.Dead

When you close your eyes and see just fragments of your past
When you start to speak to yourself, when you start to lie
When your brain, when your hands don't need to be occupied
When trees and hills all of a sudden start to talk to you
When you start to see time
When you look to the ground
When you like solitude
When you feel shades around... U.R.DEAD

When your night seems too long to you and your day too short
When your fancy stops wondering about the sense of life
When your sleep is disturbed by no schizophrenic dreams
When the river everyday is calling you to come
When you start to see time
When you look to the ground
When you like solitude
When you feel shades around... U.R.DEAD

When eyes of yours are not afraid of dark any more
When you begin every evening to hail setting sun
When flying buzzard does not evoke envy in you
When you start to doubt the existence of evil
When you start to see time
When you look to the ground
When you like solitude
When you feel shades around... U.R.DEAD

[M.I., B. II, Ps. VII, 153-176]

9. The Riddles In The Dark

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
That eye is like to this eye
Said the first eye,
But in low place,
Not in high place.

This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
And grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

[M.I., taken over, B. II, Ps. VIII, 177-194]

10. Sonic Mess

We just wanna play aloud under ancient trees
We just wanna play aloud among mounting hills
We just wanna play aloud in the very nature's heart
We just wanna play aloud and birds will stop singing
And our words to the Moon will fly.

We just wanna sing to stars at the open sea
We just wanna sing to stars and rouse them from their sleep
We just wanna sing to stars under open sky
We just wanna sing to stars and stars will take us
Into a different world and different time.

We just wanna roam at night and speak with the passed away
We just wanna roam at night and hear what spirits say
We just wanna roam at night and look for light in dark
We just wanna roam at night and through the insane forest
Over springs and roots we'll escape far.

We just wanna shout our names and cut them into stone
We just wanna shout our names before we die alone
We just wanna shout our names from this funny heap of ground
We just wanna shout our names and that's why
We'll make sonic mess till our souls fly to the other star.

[M.I., B. II, Ps. IX, 195-210]
