lyrics

Immersed in your own shame you open your eyes at last
Frail and helpless, you find yourself surrounded by nothingness
You've been broken and blind, now your time is over
Accursed in this land, forced into exile

Venturing north, haunted by an immemorial guilt
Seeking to leave your nameless struggle behind
In the last days of this era
You seek rest at the edge of the world

Searching for emotional emptiness to preserve yourself

You chose the way of pain
You took the path of sorrow
A cruel but truly revealing honesty
So as not to succumb to the light of falsehood

But sincerity sometimes awakens latent griefs
Hidden sufferings that cannot be dealt with
Of twisted and reclusive minds unable to find inner peace
Only determined to achieve their own absolute destruction

You follow your path through shadows of decay

You finally come to a crossroads where the ways of destiny converge
The dilemma of making a choice haunts your shattered mind

In desperate search for your own light
You take the darkest path in an instant of clarity

Before the dreadful remembrance of your painful memories
You walk without rest until glimpsing a secluded lake in the distance

An unknown feeling overflows you

You reach the lake surrounded by mist
Drawn by the call of the whispering waves
Towards the darkest depths of the aquatic abyss and of your own soul

Finally you face yourself and your ancient trauma
In the unwavering stillness of the unearthly lake
You break free from the burden of your fears
Drowning in the ocean of your tears

Reflections of your own grief
At last start to fade away

You finally found solace
In the lake of forgetfulness
