ORPHANAGE LYRICS

1. Weltschmerz

You can't control year after year
Embrace oblivion with fear and weep and bleed and fall down
Paradise?
Perfect creation of mankind
Welcome to paradise!
Welcome to addiction, depression, corrosion, affliction
correction, repression, relapsing, collapsing
Into the abyss of progression
Together we create despair and guilt and anger
Justify?
We should justify our crimes
Ignore the shore of sympathy
I die

The weight of the world keeps you in fear
You confine yourself in agony
And condemn yourself to misery
More and more you turn into yourself
No one can prevent this tragedy:
Confined in yourself
Confined in pain
Confined in agony and shame
Condemned to misery
Prevent this tragedy!!!

Welcome to the perfect creations of the human race
Injustice, ignorance, prejudice, oppression, to name but a few
As an individual we just have to justify all crimes
And ignore our own conscience to fit perfectly in this society

The mourning after...
To oblivion we fade the morning after we fail to wake
My child...
To oblivion we fade the morning after we sail away
And the crowd weeps...

2. Sea Of Dreams

Unknown paths of the mind, glooming spheres of consciousness
reveal the second face of your life
When you please the soul, you'll be unfolded
but serenity is lost
as you fall into confusion of your mind
Dusk you'll see!
Sail the sea of dreams

Vision immortality, escape the destiny of your real life
Would you like to be drowned in sleep forever?
Join me and stay then darkness will remain
and drain your consciousness
Then you'll see the world from beyond
--coward solution, easy way out
Real life ignored
--fantasy taking over now
Mirror the past
--get a life or wake up dead
What do you fear?
--is it your mind or life you dread?
I think it's you!
The sea of dreams, its currents take you from the shores of existence
Fail and dream
Fail!
