Text: Stygma IV. Sacred Man.

THE DARKNESS WITHIN MY SOUL
IS THE PLACE WHERE HEA'S RESTED AND GROWED
AN ENTITY THATA'S SLEPT FOR YEARS
HAS BECOME THE SACRED MAN
AND HEA'S CAUSING

PAIN

HE SHOWED ME THINGS IA'VE NEVER KNOWN
HE GAVE ME THE POWER TO SEE THROUGH
BUT HE ALSO SHOWED ME PAIN
THE PAIN WITHIN ME
I KNOW THEIR IS NO ESCAPE
HE IS THE VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD
HE IS MY DESTINY
AND HE KNOWS MY WEAKNESS AND MY GUILT
THE SACRED MAN IS WATCHING ME
I CAN FLY ABOVE THE ABYSS OF MY LIFE
BUT IA'M AFRAID OF FALLING DOWN
ON MY BLOODY TRAIL
TO WHERE MY CURSE WILL END
I HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT HE IS A PART OF ME
PART OF ME

THE SACRED MAN IS WATCHING ME
NO MATTER WHAT IA'M GONNA BE

I WALK THROUGH LIFE WITH OPENED EYES
AND IA'M DAMNED TO SEE
I SEE THEIR FEARS
THEIR HIDDEN TEARS
WHICH ARE CAUSED BY THEIR OWN LIVES
I DONA'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS POWER IS IN MY HAND I CANA'T ESCAPE
THIS SEA OF FACES IN WHICH IA'M, DROWNING
AND I AM SCARED ABOUT THE FRIENDLY FACE
WHICH HIDES A FRUSTRATED LIFE
I DONA'T UNDERSTAND
WHY THEY CANNOT CHANCE THEIR GOALS
THEY NEVER EVER CHANGE THEIR GOALS
SOMETIMES I BEAR A CROSS OF STONE
AND IA'VE TO WEAR A CROWN OF THORNS
IA'M BLEEDING AND I BLEED

SOMETIMES I WISH TO GO INSANE
A'CAUSE I CAN SEE THROUGH THEIR FILTHY GAME THEY ARE PLAYING TO CARRY ON
IA'M FREEZING
PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND
THE PAIN THAT GUIDES MY LIFE

IA'M NEVER SATISFIED
WE LIVE OUR LIVES WITH GABLED MINDS
THEY CONTROL US VIA SATELLITE
THEY PREACH WORK AND FAMILY
BUT THEY WILL LEAD US TO APATHY
I DONA'T WANT TO BE PART OF THIS SOCIETY
WHERE GREED AND POWER ARE NEW SANCTUARIES
I JUST WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY
BUT HE WONA'T LEAVE
HEA'LL NEVER GO AWAY
IGNORANCE AND INNOCENCE ARE SURROUNDING ME
I HIDE BEHIND A MIGHTY WALL
FOR GETTING OUT OF REACH
I DONA'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE HAS CHOSEN ME
I NEED LOVE AND I STARVE
FOR A WARM EMBRACE

BUT I CANA'T FIND PEACE IN MIND
A'CAUSE I AINA'T SATISFIED

I CAN FLY ABOVE THE ABYSS OF MY LIFE
BUT IA'M AFRAID OF FALLING DOWN
ON MY BLOODY TRAIL TO WHERE MY CURSE WILL END I HAVE
TO ACCEPT THAT HE IS PART OF ME
PART OF ME

IA'M LOOKING FOR THE CLUES
AND I SEARCH FOR FORBIDDEN VIEWS
OF ORDINARY LIFE
