lyrics

I dreamt of rain and fire,
Drops of rain dripping – slowly, magically
Or are these drops of blood?
And I dreamt of people – or creatures?
Dancing in the fire
Ghostly movement of silhouettes
As if someone – or something – was pulling their strings
A sinister dance of marionettes according to their will
So pure and perfect
I can go through fire and through water now
And face
Destruction!
The dead body reunites with the earth,
The waters wash away the rest
The wind blows away the thoughts
Blood soaks the ground
Fire eliminates everything
In the enchanting purity of its flames
I can hear it now
An eternal, universal melody never written down,
Whispered by all those who died
The dark spirits are gathering
Around the fire, tethering
The dancing silhouettes to an invisible lead
To feast on the souls of the Dead
(Of) the Lost
(Of) the Fallen
(Of) the Hopeless
(Of) the Broken
The dead now reunited in this world,
A dimension I never believed even existed …
Possessed by the burning fire
I fall into the abyss without a bottom
The dark spirits are gathering
Around the fire, tethering
The dancing silhouettes to an invisible lead
To feast on the souls of the Dead
(Of) the Lost
(Of) the Fallen
(Of) the Hopeless
(Of) the Broken
This is a dimension I never believed even existed …
Or is it a state of mind?
Possessed by the burning fire
I throw myself into the abyss of flames
Falling, drowning, burning
Or just fading away?
Now there is chaos
Chaos everywhere!
Now, here is fire
Fire everywhere!
Decay and return to the earth
Will the soul rise toward the sky
Or rather fall into the burning abyss
Lost in the chaos of intrusive self-destructive thoughts
This absurd deafening noise in my head
Fruit of pure imagination
An invisible poison
Leading me to pass into oblivion
