Hollow Roots 04:37
HOLLOW ROOTS If I am void, am I infinite? Or a spark is leading to the substance - always? Through shallow water I walk in small triangles Following the maps inside my irises Protuberant dominance Hidden in a non-existent solar crown Severed from vacuum and form The mental clouds have made up a storm If I am flesh, am I the special marks Forming the invisible inscription “end”? Deep inside the tissues of existence The only chance for deviation is forbidden. I crawl back into the lair Where the soil is warm and mine. Orbital existence Interstellar dust in the wilderness Glowing, glowing, gradually fading Blackened wind caress The earth is dark, the earth is truth The black stones shape my prayer The cradle stinks, the cloth is rotten The threads are snakes and the snakes are hollow roots. Solo:Nikola Solo:Vasil If I am void, am I infinite Or remnants of a forest under blackened water? If I am earth, am I the end Or will I touch a mirror, if I stretch my arm? Protuberant dominance Hidden in a non-existent solar crown Severed from vacuum and form The mental clouds have made up a storm

PAINTING A BLOODY SYMPHONY Painted wrathful angel plays the harp bloody symphony The sound of its strings fondles my mind A serpent drinks the blood from a lamb I already know this is a sign This narrative shows you the mood And the mood shows the cartoon of life Grotesque parody of your sheep’s vision The mockery of creators I see Years of waiting making me sick Sick ‘cause I lost my energy But I’m so glad of what I see Spiritual slaughter among angels and sheep A concert of distorted brains Depicts illusory reality The music cannot be heard Played by wrathful angels Every lie feeds the fire for more lies Every new lie is born of the harp’s strings The lie is like the artist painting “A serpent drinks the blood from a lamb “ Like a harp string made by liars Blood from a lamb sweet to feed Grasping monsters obsessing your mind Blackening your days blackening your deeds But I’m so glad of what I see Spiritual slaughter among... angels and sheep

SURGICAL MASQUERADE Furious monsters were chasing me I was running, trying to escape Breaking bushes and branches Painfully rushing through the thorns I escaped And found myself upon a secret tor My breath was frozen and my eyes were closed The beating of my heart was pulsating in my ears I saw my persecutors wide eyed upon me I clenched my eyelids praying for a miracle A secret bombshelter in a hole before me I was on the roof of this room of horrors I saw myself down, faceless monsters all around They quickly took on the doctors’ business Opened the drawers with surgical tools One of them stepped forward Opening a book with bloody pages Solo:Nikola Someone was lying in front of me on a medical coach Screaming, tied with his own guts His face to be replaced with mine A wolf looks like a sheep A leader hides a devil inside A god in human form And idiots to serve them all

DIVINE MANDOLINS You have a holy book You don’t know what to do with it You have your leaders You don’t know what they are for You have so many different colours, bodies, faces… You have no idea what’s your purpose here Thе Earth is a dungeon absorbing every soul The leaders you trust so much are slaves to the cross Your souls are suits designed to bear all posible torments And all diseases created by worried well-wishers Higher powers and creatures cut your veins With musical instruments, with strings stuck... in the flesh Playing their butchery songs, slicing meat to pieces Rivers of blood fall from the holes of their mandolins See their perverted grimaces reigning over open mouthed mobs The higher powers have fun again Celestial mace falls and devastates… You are so small when you are down Now tell me what did you read? What did you learn from the leaders you follow? Thoughts like snakes make you freeze When all trees are cut down Solo: Nikola When all animals are dead When all water is poisoned And all air is unbreathable Embrace the moment When you can’t restart Your self-consuming ways Listen to the mandolins play Inspiring sadness and sweet pain Your souls are suits designed to bear all possible torments And all diseases created by worried well-wishers Higher powers and creatures cut your veins With musical instruments, with strings stuck in the flesh

SACRIFICIAL EUTHANASIA I’m waiting in a dark corner with tied hands and legs Tied with my own dried veins Sometimes I see a light shining bright, but so cold Yet, I’ll search a path towards it Suddenly I notice a trail in front of me Revealing and hiding the mysterious forgotten Now they shine beside me The reflections of light from below And the fires of heaven burning Solo: Vasil Countless species of all populations Unicellular, swarms of insects, human beings Each of them tied up in their own corner Lying in hope never to return in mortal form Now they shine beside me The reflections of light from below And the fires of heaven burning The Light soothes the fire They stare at us to aid their own survival I hear their thoughts and voices Revealing to me their true intention Sacrificial euthanasia Solo: Nikola Now it shines everywhere around us The light reflected from our bodies And the fire from our flying souls Solo: Nikola

HEGEMONY OF THE WEAK Hegemony of the weak Unstable kingdoms built of sands Houses raised from ground to sky Professed saviours disgorge promises Join the flock of doomed believers Keep up your religion Kiss your holy cross or sacred relic God’s words coming out of graceless mouths make you weak When lies kill reality, there is no hope and the weak start to toil Solo: Nikola And when their “saviours” pass away They always take their place Kingdoms fall apart, broken dreams and realms Chemically violated nature swallows blood and waste Fruits of pain and blue sky served on a silver plate Extort your final breath Hegemony of the weak Sadistic kingdom of the half-dead and everlasting torture Gods laugh to death Solo: Nikola Hegemony of the weak Unstable kingdoms built of sands Houses raised from ground to sky Professed saviours disgorge promises Join the flock of doomed believers Kiss your holy cross or sacred relic Fruits of pain and blue sky served on a silver plate Solo: Nikola

GIVING ALMS TO BIRDS The final day has come A lifeless body staring at the sky Sky with all shades of black The stormy clouds are silent And waiting for a sign… from the ground… Morbid croaks tear the flesh of silence Dark shadows flap their wings And remove the clouds all around Leaving behind the darkest black - not just the sky Bloodthirsty beaks rip open the corpse Feasting on the internal organs Broken bones don’t stop them To devour, to slurp, to grunt and revel Dismembered body and scattered remains Consumed and devastated by these creepy birds The only human waste they leave behind…. Is ground and mixed by the crowd dressed in black They watch with empty eyes and serve the rest To the winged angels of death Then the black empty sky tears apart Furious winds bring angry clouds And their tears wash out the bloodsoaked ground The winds carry the stench of the last human remains
