POEMA ARCANUS LYRICS

1. Us, Those Half Dead

[Lyrics: Claudio Carrasco / Music: Igor Leiva]

Never imagined what I’m realizing, indeed
Sudden proof of cryptic face
You, half-dead.

Thousands of fears, explains themselves
As a grim puzzle,
the truth emerges from depths

Beauty caresses gently the dead
A caress given back as a ruthless pest

Words sound unknown,
can´t understand
Dead fading colors,
your skins turned ashes grey

A long season in darkness,
one sorrow after the other,
no rest for dead side arises
Death taking over me

A breeding ground to forget respect
Infection progress slowly
Taking control of our will

Far away from me, you call my name
Distance translates it as a scream

Us, those half-dead
Breed at the bottom of our disgrace.

2. Stream Of Debris

[Lyrics & music: Igor Leiva]

There used to be home
A fair deal of some sort
Absolute world, a secure world

The cub now feels strong
He escapes to see the storms
Absolute world, now a bleak world

Without Roots, without shelters
No fears but the fear of freedom´s void
Building on this air, a card castle
Built only to witness its collapse.

Without roots, without gods.
Just clear vision
A constant walk along a ledge

At last line, a dead end
Feet on dark mind
The free soul dwells in vertigo

A material legacy we left behind our steps
Lifeless, useless
Behold the absence becoming flesh

He old air inside my empty home
Dust and silence
Will feed the ghost of memories gone

A doomed attempt to say forever
In mortal men´s domain
Dragging the dead weight of time
The hangman in disguise
Collecting, acquiring, storing
A dream of transcendence that expired
Collecting, acquiring, storing
A stream of debris we call life.

3. Fugitive

[Lyrics & music: Igor Leiva]

Running away alone
Running away

Wandering here not knowing why
Gift of life wrapped into fire
A fugitive from a black realm runs

Singing a closing credits song
Get the best of this short trip
Holding landscapes, holding dreams

Night falls, the countdown runs
Night dawns, a small loss unnoticed
A day to remind, or a day just to forget?
The better the memories,
The fewer the time that´s left

Time hurts, the hours kill
Time runs, at thieves grabbing life bits
Tomorrow will come,
Tomorrow will bring us death
The fugitive is caught, the curtain falls
End of play

4. Inquilinos

[Lyrics: Igor Leiva / Music: Igor Leiva – Claudio Carrasco – Luis Moya]

…Almas de ayer, cantan aquí

Viajeros
Corriendo contra un tiempo escaso
De paso por la eternidad

Otoño
De calendarios obsoletos
La vida fugaz

Almas de ayer, cantan aquí
En lava y en temblor
Mares de ayer, desierto sin fin
De piedra, silencio y Sol.

Herencia de extinción
Inquilinos al pasar
Efímero invasor
La montaña observará
Vida que viene y se va
El comienzo y el final

Glaciares
Testigos de generaciones inquilinas
Aguas de lo ancestral

Milenios
Segundos de un reloj perpetuo
La carne y su levedad

…sangre que viene y se va

Las historias,
Los retazos desde el tiempo del olvido
Gris memoria de exiliados
Por el viento esparcidos
La piedra observa imperios al nacer,
Guerras vomitar sangre de fe
La piedra escucha imperios crepitar,
Ruinas sin edad.

5. Fading

[Lyrics & music: Igor Leiva]

The last days of summer
Through storms and distress
Blind of the frailty
Drifted out of place

The logic of carbon
The fate of living things close
A grip to reality I never asked for
Then this old superhero
Became a little wounded bird
The path we all follow
Crumbling down before my eyes

So calm yet so bitter
Attachment with nature
Fading light sparkles
Still unexplained

Flesh shelters life
Flesh shelters sickness
The answers lost into cold
White labyrinth talk

Life is a runaway
From shelters and from prisons.
Encounters and loss draw
This complex map of time.

6. Omniscient Opponent

[Lyrics: Claudio Carrasco ]
[Music: Luis Moya - Igor Leiva]

All the freedom we want
He strives to make it impossible
And as we try to see colours,
He systematically stains everything black
A vicious circle that consumes life
As time runs fast, existence spills from our hands
Relentless process that never ends
Driving us to lose control of our lives
Feel the doom, embrace the antagonism
Fake freedom is our opium and death
Failure by failure, we feel them as steps
The old opponent knows and profits from them
The healer who provides the cure
Smiles in the darkness while the disease is born
We bear everyday, the weight of the engine
A crippled system that swallows life
Paying with blood, the price of existence
And the right to live our own agony
An infant painfully learning the rules
Hope slowly fades within a young naive soul
The puppet tracing plans for his route
Becomes the old man dying alone and poor
And as we try to open our eyes
Omniscient opponent kills the light .

7. Lambs

The Shepherd guides his flock
through a holy path marked with blood
driving them to a carnage yet unknown

Procession marches to the cliff
A cliff bathed by souls
One by one lambs fall into the void

An old lie teaching for centuries
sustaining a perpetual profit of souls
Loved unconditionally until their death
Then after death, God devours his sons

Repeating the word of the lord
Blessed lambs on their way to heaven
Then they realize salvation turns into free fall
All their beliefs
Vanish as they fall
Everything turns into cold horror

A sea of the dead, known as heaven
Ruled by a beast called Father
As souls are drowned into the depths
A morbid grin is drawn on his face
For a lifetime
I was fooled into his good will
Now I'm falling
Without his fake mercy

As I'm drowning, water dissolves faith
All the answers turn into childhood fears
And I realize nobody ever supported my way
I'm astray, forgotten in this ocean...
of misery and death
I wasted life, to feed the father's vicious hunger

He never wanted
to welcome us in his reign
Used us to procreate
and nourish the make-believe fiend

8. Default Song

Again it will begin
this joy I will let in
a stranger is now welcome

these sparkling lights drowning me
no boundaries to see
just unknown faces

a deafening noise perpetuates
so many voices claim
and these walls of ice rise inside me

From this place, the electric maze
is all the world I've seen,
just a movie on my screen
a thousand words, the elusive world
a landscape without soul;
so synthetic, so absurd

Lost in the endless flow
Silicon dreams remain
Reality starts to fade
Lost in the endless flow
Silicon nightmares
Everything is so unreal

So lonely in the crowd
the scream I once heard loud
Seems like a whisper now

my message lost, unheard, astray
my mind speaks by mistake
to unknown faces

No one to see, no one to touch
Nobody cared too much
When these walls of ice
grew inside me

From this place
This empty space
This only world for me
Just come here and taste how
To exist – to disappear
To feel – or just to pretend
To love and to betray
Are such different parts
of the same game

9. Our Little Blood

A cold dawn of autumn
And the blood announces the worst
As the deepest sorrow comes
We begin to ride... on death's horse

The woods seem to hold our room
Covering the light inside the womb

The ten percent begins to be true
The standards abandoned us
She discovered our paradise
Turned it into pale void

Our love this time is not enough
Our faith is useless
So please take care of our little blood
Oh earth and water...

Nowadays we follow
The doctrine of the hidden mourning
As an internal deep wound
Pain is dressed as fake joy

Everyone seems to enjoy their luck
While we drown in a lake of loss

The ten percent begins to be true
The standards abandoned us
She discovered our paradise
Turned it into pale void

Our love this time is not enough
Our faith is useless
So please take care of our little blood
Oh earth and water...

Statistics against dreams,
They mock tragedy

Life... You betrayed us
Time... Could you cure us?
Blood... Come back to us
Probability rules the earth...
It Rules death
