Album: The Act Of Degradation (2002)

The Mirror

It's time to plunge in the world of ... deprivation?
When I was looking in the mirror
I found out I could break on
Through to the other side if only I wanted
And I've been there
The birds were seeking refuge on the highest trees
And sadness and terror were sown like grains of wheat
On the boundless field of forgetfulness
I found fear
Nesting in the farthest places of the planet
I saw people's disputes
Dirty, wandering from place to place
Anger and hatred walking in pairs
Giving oneself away to lustful kisses
And love - full of fear, grey and sad
Was hidden in the middle of it all... somewhere deep
And I brought out the sword of truth
I wanted to disperse the darkness
But all my thoughts were wrapped up by black fog
Pulling the weapon out of my hands
It covered me softly with its tentacles
And the truth evaporated, like it had never existed
It is time to plunge in the world of ... deprivation ?
And I believed
I believed in fear, hatred and violence
And my faith was unshaken
I looked in the mirror again
To see my soul completely
And there weren't truth or love anymore
Only anger was filling my heart like fire
