secrets

let me whisper to you a language you can hear
only when you are in love

let me share with you a melody bound by whipers,
only when you are alone

let me show you a picture painted by a beautiful spectre
who comes when you are in love

allow me to gently stroke your hair so smooth
so that i can share with you my soul screaming

please
please
please

listen when the silence befriends you
so he may share with you his song of romance

so here we are
we have come this far

and stones and pebbles
and dirt and grime
and pain and hypocrisy
but lest the essence of why we are even here

i want to hold your hand forever
i need to hear your empty whispers
i tried to be your silver sword
but alas i am but only a squier to you

i shall not but let you seek your solace
in your space full of questions
and expectations
and your fantasy perfections

whisper to me even just once
the secrets of your restless spirits
that made you dance
forever in your mind

i want to take you away
from the world and all its pain

so that we may embrace each other
in the colours so faint

but lest we part
and lest we cry
when we are two hearts
swallowed by the sky

what ever it is
it will always be you and i

- som'oka reviliel the abandoned space cowboy

kryptonite

I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhereIn the sands of times
But I watched the world go to the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world go to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I’m alive and well, will you be there a-holding my hand?
I’ll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak, but still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I’m alive and well, will you be there a-holding my hand?
I’ll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite

the return of heuronymous

our friend, fear, is back from his endless departure.
our neighbour, sorrow, visited us on his way to hereafter.
our schoolmate, happiness, just went for the long walk home.
and his faithful partner, joy, went for a neverending trip on his own.

what is left of this wicked heart i ask?
will it fade and grow the dark of dusk?

worry not my fellow soldiers, your demons has come to love you.
to lead you along this passage of what i may think its true.
your demons they are here to make you realize.
this pain and grim and lies throughout your life.

so who is left to save the day?
who is left to make them pay?

i am the demon which dwells on your sadness.
i had my reasons to feed in your fortress.
but deep down inside i want you to know.
that i was a saint before they let me go.

my God forgive me, for the evil that i have learnt.
my God forgive me, for these sins that i have earned.

heuronymous has returned to find a space.
he has always been there, but without a face.
my heart rejoice on his second coming.
and i hope he stays till the eternal morning.

the second coming of a'ku-ra khaide

it was said, you'll be the first and last to know.
it was told that you'll be the last and only to go.
how has it been that only you know.
that you are the only one they know?

it was said that the folklores are lies.
they just want to put sand in your eyes.
so that you'll sleep in time that will come,
which shiver your bones in the press of the thumb.

it was said that you are the warrior of light,
the only who'll go and end all the fights.
it was said that you are also the demon,
who will seek out all vengeance and despair you'll summon.

i was there when you wanted to see me,
to claim my head and all, of my city.
the sage that once tried to have saved me,
now became a demon who can't wait to kill me.

look me now o demon priest and ever you will,
and quench your thirst if you're desperate to kill.
you'll be the first and last to know.
that your heart will be taking my final blow.

shiver no more o demon priest of vile and destruction.
shiver no more o wayward warrior of light and good deeds.
shiver no more o human heart blackened by the world.
shiver no more o clueless angels of your only existence.

i have come to save you by the powers of God.... called Wealth.

the speck of dust

scatter linger and fly

summer seems to never end

before it comes
before it comes

clamouring sun oh keep the heat at bay
so that i can keep my color

too much buzzing
in this rickety head of mine

press the pause button for a while
i want to read my comic book.

and keep off the waves

smashing on the beach

i want to go and sleep now.

senhora bonita

cante o verão comigo, senhora bonita,
assim eu posso escutar as canções no inverno.

vive meu sonho comigo, senhora bonita,
de modo que nossas noites não sejam sós.

deixe-nos perseguir afastado o mundo, senhora bonita,
de modo que nós possamos vaguear onde nós podemos.

acredite sua vida comigo, senhora bonita,
assim nós podemos voar junto com nossos sonhos.

põr de lado o mundo e toda sua dor, senhora bonita,
assim nós podemos gritar nossas amarguras junto.

eu te amo com todos meus corações, senhora bonita,
você vem tomar minha mão?

everturning wheel

the twisted the mangled dismembered
rotating lives upon the everturning wheel

at birth and death be long forgotten
not a surprise in the everturning wheel

and slumber and wake in the aisle of the skies
the eyes of the everturning wheel

i lied and loved my lives away
observer of the everturning wheel

live what may so the devil say
no gods in the everturning wheel

believe your god
upon the everturning wheel

your time may end before you know it, love.

second last day

in the name of the Most Merciful.

a prayer.
seven souls.
safe from harm,
from the six degrees of apocalypse.

i beg.
the day.
from the harm,
in your eternal scorching desert.

in sleep.
to think
of the harm,
i've done to others.

take me.
protect me.
in the harm,
of the others.

this prayer keeps.
oh ever-present Almighty,
save me from.
my own destruction.

Amiin.

- ariff salleh the ambitious soul

the longest time

this pounding has been in my head for the longest time.
it must end one day.
i know it will never go away.
i feel sickened by the noise.

this lie i have in me for the longest time.
i must wash it clean one day.
it wil keep haunting me.
i adore sincerity.

this sympathy has been clinging on my heart for the longest time.
it must diminish one day.
my heart is already blackened.
i longed for humanity.

this crave i have for destruction for the longest time,
must not be fulfilled today.
my tired eyes still want to see smiling children.
but how long more can i?

my message to you has been held back for the longest time.
i am reluctant to show you the way.
but yet, i want to see you soar beyond me,
before the day i die.

this enclosure has made me numb beyond my agony.
this enclosure i feel is made for this reason.
i longed to feel your hate once again.
for your love is just a plastic tree.

- masa' hakali the blind fortune teller

Despite that...

Despite the place,
That I'm now in,
This corner of my life,
That tells where I've been...

Despite the set backs,
That I face,
Or of the tears,
That leave a trace...

Despite the time,
That distance brings,
Or life's little quirks,
And all other things...

Despite that fact,
That I still live,
Memories of a past,
I can't forgive...

Despite the rains,
That flood the trail,
Despite life's winds,
A force of gale...

Despite the moon,
Laying hidden behind,
The tracks I time,
Within my mind...

Despite harsh words,
Whispered aloud,
Or of the sun,
Behind the clouds...

Despite the way,
Life comes about,
My love for you,
There is no doubt...

hidup ini buat selama.
hidup ini punya arti.
hidup ini punya prasangka.
hidup ini punya tangisan.

mati itu satu alasan.
mati itu satu kurniaan.
mati itu bukan kerana.
mati itu punya makna.

airmata satu igauan.
airmata tidak setia.
airmata andai tiada.
menjadi ia suatu bencana.

cinta itu hanya khayalan.
cinta itu penyambung jiwa.
cinta itu bawa kecewa.
cinta itu hanya sahaja.

lihat.
tanpa degilmu.
dengar.
tanpa egomu.
beri.
tanpa sedihmu.
terima.
tanpa kejimu.

sayangmu itu, biarlah ia kembali kepada yang memberi...
cintamu ini, takkan biar dipaksa andainya tiada lagi...

tidurlah adinda.

my only freedom

i was wide awake when he called my name seven times.

i sinned and came upon a designated lie.
i was told to believe that this world is temporary.
if so, why have i not seen the heavens yet?
my freedom, only showed me hell on earth.

there is no room for my apologies if noone cares to even listen.
there is room for my empathy if everyone cares to miss them.

i am asleep when no one hears my cries.
i am asleep when i chased the dragon to free my pain.

listen.
and listen.
keep on listen you fools of the modern times.
and hear this amplifying silence that you think that have brought yourself to life.

deny that you are alive because of your wisdom.
what fucking wisdom? you are as good as dead.

i was there before you lived.
i i died before your forefathers knew how to lie.

my only freedom, is to hear you cry.
may you follow me to the hereafter and live your regrets eternally.

the pleasure is mine love, sing me the song,
that you'd like me to scream to the world.
i will be there. even if this serenade died to a silence.
i will be there, even if the world shouts back at us.

set free this steps we take
set free the hearts we break
and take them to the void of space
and bury the regrets that followed you home, everyday.

this song is for you, oh traitors of your own life.
this song is for the mask, you paint your disguise.

liberty o liberty...
breathe my heart free, this cruel world that cries too much.
