The Distress and the Cure Lyrics


While the heaven wept

I slowly sing myself to sleep

This is how it ends?

Sparkling embers burned my skin

This spreading blaze is glaring my soul

The winds sing their sorrowful song

The scorched earth that breaks apart

The roots that burned to ashen dust

I watch a moth drawn to this flame

Attracted and burned in vain

This pale moment of clarity

The scattered ashes are still staining me

I lay myself into a river

A journey into the unknown

Shall it drown my fears

And wash away the hopelessness

And I start to quiver

In this weary and cold embrace

I drown all mistakes

But solitude slowly molds to hate

Wide awake

The falling tides start to inundate

Yet it swallows me again

Reflections of a million worlds

So various and so profound

Behind this ivory wall

Your higher built, your deeper fall!

Won’t you help me

Before I drown in misery?

My story is still untold

Hear my distress signal on the shore

Did my choking words

Fell short of reaching open ears?

“Sink into your fears

Arraigning all your deeds

Still learned nothing“

But darkness speaks to me

In silent rage

Afflictions of the pure

Impaired and drowned in agony

Admission enshrouds this misery

…Until all fades…

My distress and the cure

Unabsolved sins

Forlorn dreams

Artificial beliefs

Drowned in filth

To perceive

Mature views no god can teach

But darkness speaks to me

In silent rage

Afflictions of the pure

Impaired and drowned in agony

Admission enshrouds this misery

…Ought to fade…

My distress and the cure

…My solace…

Your distress and my cure
