the man without memories

2011-10-27T16:35:00.003+08:00

for each picture taken be another hollow gap to leave your mind
and of that be left vacant for the ghost of the past to haunt
never will it ever be such easy task for these presence dissolved

as though they meant nothing
no, they really meant nothing

this reality that has existed in circular formations beneath a dream
dismissed as an affair forlorn, forsaken,forgotten and dead.
and live this being with the hurricane of the sweetness of memories soon to be,

soon to reverse as a prison,
soon to pest the heart,
soon to devour sanity within.

in present, no, past tense rather, let this be light.
the light to blind profound stupidity that man was and still is.

in light leave the unwanted theories.
in live live as a man without memories.

too much words rambled in this head,
no, nothing's wrong i'm not afraid.

within the three heads that live in me,
of all are swapping this hypocrisy.

linger on, oh linger more,
all the bad thoughts of those abhorred.

i am walking, this endless flight of rubble,
to keep me distant from the heart that troubles.

i walk alone now, i'm sure i could,
i'd like you be here, but that if you would.

of said the regrets that were put to words,
of said all frets, that all came be favoured.

i was the prodigy, that laid the gun,
but thou art the bullet that shoot and run.

no, the run is over, it was all clear.
yes, the fun is over, too much had cleared

this meaningless phantom that haunts this vessel,
keeps raging on with its meaningless riddles.

i had a bit too much to think.
i had far too much to drink.

alas be as said, the rambles that shivers my head.

dalam hati ada azan

2011-04-12T10:49:00.008+08:00

gua tak kisah,
lu orang makan duit gua,
cukup-cukup kasi abis.

gua tak kisah,
lu orang eksen dengan gua,
depan-depan pun takpa.

gua tak kisah,
kasi members hidup,
bila gua sendiri tengah sesak.

gua tak kisah,
keje doplopatjam,
pasal bila gua da gaji, lu orang senyum.

gua pun tak kisah,
kalau lu pandang gua rendah,
pasal gua sedar diri gua.

gua lagi tak kisah,
kalau lu mau hina gua,
mau caci maki gua punya muka.

gua pun tak amek hati,
kalau lu takmo tolong gua,
bila gua tengah susah.

tapi gua mintak siket aja,

gua mintak payung,
mana punya buruk pun takpa.

pasal dalam hati gua,
tengah banjir airmata.

gua mintak lu diam aja,
sekejap pun takpa.

pasal dalam hati gua,
ada azan tengah berkumandang.

gua mintak seteguk air,
tak kisahlah panas ke sejuk.

pasal bila gua nazak,
taklah haus sangat.

dengan gua mintak lu ingat,
nama gua sapa.

pasal bila gua dah takda,
boleh lu sedekah al-fatihah.

the ringing tune that moves you.
the silent vibes your heart beats.
the graceful stance that dance you.

lights, camera, action.
the tone you'll get accustomed to.
the beautiful emotions concocted.
the eyes you so much mesmerized.

lights camera action.
the path I chose you taught me.
the flight that grows into me.
the run you kept me going.

lights, camera, action.
this salutation is for you.
this gratitude has your name.
this glorious win you deserve.

Act I fajar

Aku bukanlah seniman, ataupun aku sang penghibur.
Aku hanyalah bawahan, yang banyak mimpinya terkubur.

Rantauan hidup membawaku ke sini,
dengan harapan menambah rezeki.
Tiada bagiku yang selalunya senangan,
tapi aku teruskan merempuh halangan.

Andaikata hidup ini satu lakonan, jiwaku ini kan ku pentaskan.

Sekiranya jalan ku terhenti, jauh sekali ia lah penghujung.
Takkan ku henti bermimpi, banyak lagi yang kan ku kunjung.

pandanglah diri dicermin pecahan,
patutkah jati dijajah-jajahan?

sumbang si angsa melagukan pagi,
mana bangsa yang melayu mati!

usah tercengang banyak provokasi,
takkan ku terima haluan yang diberi.

hantaran penindas hanya kekata,
fikiran bernas diejek dikata.

bak salju memutih nan indah,
tak berbaju memerang lidah.

hancur lebur busana bangsa,
namun anak nya sedikit tak terasa.

hari yang cerah untuk jiwa yang sepi

2010-12-30T20:55:00.006+08:00

pagi biar kusendiri
jangan kau mendekat
wahai matahari
dingin hati yang bersedih
tak begitu tenang
mulai terabaikan

hari yang cerah untuk jiwa yang sepi
begitu terang untuk cinta yang mati
ah... ku coba bertahan dan tak bisa

kubu langit kelabuku
tak begitu luas
seperti memudar
kini tak terulang lagi
di hari yang cerah
dia telah pergi

hari yang cerah untuk jiwa yang sepi
ahh... ku coba bertahan dan tak bisa
ahh... mencoba melawan ku lepas

hari yang cerah untuk jiwa yang sepi...
begitu terang untuk cinta yang mati

ahh... kucoba bertahan dan tak bisa
ahh... mencoba melawan ku lepas
semua telah hilang ....
semua telah ....

aku pencari

2010-11-29T23:49:00.004+08:00

aku pencari erti.
makna yang tersirat,
dibalik tawa dan tangis,
dibalik pahit dan manis.

aku pencari teman.
mana yang hidup disisiku,
sehaluan dengan hatiku,
atau semata-mata seteru.

aku pencari jalan.
peta yang hilang dinaluri,
dimana tanah ku pijak,
adakah disitu langit dijunjungi?

aku pencari damai,
hati ini berkecamuk,
adakala tersangat remuk,
tapi selalunya ia mengamuk.

aku pencari rindu.
lagu-lagu yang meriangkan jiwa,
hari-hari yang membawa makna,
muka-muka yang sudah tiada.

aku pencari cinta.
batin yang pernah tertawa,
zahir dulunya gembira,
sememangnya rasa sempurna.

aku pencari pedoman.
hanya PadaMu Yang Satu,
sekerdil dan daif diriku,
kesetiaanku hanya buatMu.

aku pencari penhujung.
dimana pangkalnya dihilangkan,
dimana jalannya terbentang,
takkan tahu sebelum berakhir.

aku pencari keikhlasan,
dimana hatimu sanggup mencinta,
dimana jiwamu dapat menerima,
membawaku masuk dialam kasihmu.

aku pencari erti.
hidup yang terombang-ambing,
aku mahu mencari selesainya,
agar ertinya sempurna.

lately i heard you purr,

so much that my heart stir.

i know it was more,

it's you whom i adore.

the signs were pretty clear,

that one day i'll hold you dear.

2010-09-28T16:14:00.002+08:00

it was the wicked sneer that came out from your words,
that made me steer out far into the woods.

so i am lost now within the creeping weed,
i am as lost now i am waiting for time to bleed.

it appears that the potion you gave me the other day,
was just a mere drop of juice that made my head sway.

look, i need to fly up into the sky right now,
i just need to, i don't care how.

my dreams with you were just a load of empty thoughts,
so save me the night, just get out of my head.

i'm past the stars now, i'm past all the pain,
i'm the alpha male bastard now, the ugly and the vain.

you were never worth it, of that i think you already knew.
i hope not to cross path, there never was a me and you.

you're drunk, you need it
real love, I'll give it

so we're bound to linger on
we drink the fatal drop
then love until we bleed
then fall apart in parts

you wasted your times
on my heart
you've burned
and if bridges gotta fall, then you'll fall, too

doors slam
lights black
you're gone
come back
stay gone
stay clean
i need you to need me

so we're bound to linger on
we drink the fatal drop
then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts

now we're bound to linger on
we drink the fatal drop
then love until we bleed
then fall apart in parts

sekiranya hidup ini satu dansa,
sudikah kau menari dalam sanubariku?
adapun khayalan itu menyesatkan,
bukankah nurani mahu gembira?

hatimu berselekoh menuju kegelapan.
usah tercari-cari cahaya nur.
rohanimu teresak-esak mencari kebenaran.
usah mengambil wudhu' lagi.

lihatlah sahabatku,
akan segala yang kau kecapi.
bukankah ini masa yang sesuai,
buat hatimu berlayar ke asal fitrahmu?

hakiskanlah kotoran dijiwamu.
usah terkenang pada pagi yang manis,
kerna manisan itu hanyalah racun,
didalam kembara hidupmu ini.

kembalilah kepada yang benar,
ayuh suluhkan cahaya nur lagi.
kibarkanlah bendera kesucian,
belum terlambat berwudhu' kini.

seindah senyuman bayi,
indahkanlah pula hatimu kini.

Dear Savannah,

I believe there is nothing much for us to say.

Lest my heart bleed for long, time is my only medic.

That man? Why he's a scoundrel nonetheless.

Even so, I cherish the moments when we were pure.

Life will erase you from my soul soon enough.

Dear John

2010-08-02T23:00:00.002+08:00

Dear John,

In you I cant feel anymore joy.
In you I have left no love for.
In you my life is a misery.
In you I cant live properly.

For you, my answer will be the same.
For you, I can never change.
For you, I can only remember the pain.
For you, I am afraid its where the end begins.

With you, I've sinned a dozen lies.
With you, I'd thought we lived and die.
With you, I cant be with.
With you, i have to sin again.

You scarred me John.
Even while we're making love,
I fear the person on top of me.
You scarred me too deep John.

John, I wished you were still the person i fell in love with.
John, I wished i had never lost my love for you.
John, it's time for us to get on with our lives.
John, I am sorry.

I fell in love with another man because of you.
But no John, I will love him without you.
I will love him to forget about you.
How I'd wish you were still John...

and so you have made your choice.

the ones that will embellish for a while,
your preposterous, fabricated land of stars.

not caring even a minute fragment,
of the dreams that you have demolished.

i salute your malevolent oracle,
in the name of profits and riches.

we are the broken puppets that you have forsaken.

The Princess from The Bends

on the fifth hour is your coronation.

at long last you came upon this acropolis,
will you renounce this kismet?
to dance across the northern aurora?
you are a princess with or without a tiara.

gloriously crafted against your freewill.

and come what may,
it will be a diamond studded carpet,
rolled out, for you.
to dance with that heavy heart.

but you are, and will always be idolized.

the waves bow down to you

the supreme hero
to valiantly cross

to immerse in battles
and return triumphant.

immortalized across the sun
and the twelve moons.

will you be the deity that favors riches?

the affirmation

2010-06-23T04:07:00.002+08:00

so words race like flies in a dumpster
so i got to know the lies everyone looked after.

and here i am still thinking it was a mere shadow,
and here i am still wishing a lovestruck down below.

i am the reason of my own ignorance in building castles in the air.
i am the contradiction of what my dreams came about to a certain despair.

thinking and wishing what would be a volatile chemistry,
alas i am the squire who thought everything else was for free.

in times like this that i have already known
where my pointless admiration have flown.

yes this is my final affirmation
my instinctive confirmation.

that you looked at me as a silhouette,
never existed never to get.

in your eyes, i am a just a passer-by.
and may lady luck smile upon your fate.

it was monday that i missed you,
but then again you might not know.

then tuesday had a glimpse on the tube,
of the person i came to adore.

wednesday was the night,
when i thought everything was alright.

thursday came to tell me the truth,
to stop wasting my youth.

on friday it was solemn,
but in my heart was still you.

saturday caught me trying,
to revive a love that was dying.

and sunday became the day,
that a love just went away,

of all the only one day,
i'll remember us someday in may.

the chronicles of le rouge

2010-04-29T02:31:00.005+08:00

i stood there hammering tenderloins
while she shoved a lager in his face
and merry men sang songs of mule coins
and silly rhymes of horrible tastes.

when she came, staggered and smiling,
i knew she needs a shoulder to cry.
she ordered chocolates and other things,
but i heard a heart waiting to die.

hey sally, your day is just half as bad as mine.
i'd tell you tales of sorrow but with a smile.
hey baby, don't fret because we are all not doing fine.
this world is a beautiful place, served with roses and bile.

and i gave her coffee on the house, waiting for some tips.
but she kept smiling and smiling amidst her bleeding lips.
with an empty hand, i coughed a story from two days ago,
about how i swam in sands, while i was having some blow.

her lips kept bleeding i thought i was rose syrup.
i knew she has to get a grip before i chased her out.
i don't need a tragic lady, to spoil my get up.
so i'm telling you once, you have to go out and about.

forget what happened already, just move on.
this life is just a cuppa with a little smooch.
it's time for you to hastily be gone,
so i can continue the chronicles of le rouge.

home

2010-03-29T18:24:00.005+08:00

i am home
with my cats
and smelly toilets

my bed calls
me to sleep again
so i dream

i was a car
speeding fast
never crashed

the traffic light
smiled back
to scold me

so i swear
to go faster
then before

my home
is my journey
to my heart

my home
is the stinky cave
that i love

my soul feels
that i am home
when i cry

well, my home
is the same as yours
when we die.

you sang to my ears when my heart was broken.
you were there when the world did not listen.

your songs of love and broken dreams,
was near to my heart or so it seems.

he sat down closer and breathe a speck of my spirit,
for when i realized, he was just a phantom under the shadow lit.

i abandoned you, when you heard me and you came,
i need my freedom from your treacherous promises of fame.

i am the wandering dream for your night to fall asleep,
i used to be the pillow for your soul to keep.

begone, o ye useless thoughts of shameless women,
begone, o ye hateful romance from the omen.

my phantom lies inside your insanity,
as i creep your soul through this reality.

i am the shimmering glass in your false existence.
i am the believer of foreign gospels.
i am the omen of your neglected premonitions.
i am the shaman that craft your spells

i feel i need to diminish the love in my heart.
i feel i need to feel the love for my faith once again.
i feel i need to tear these worlds apart.
i feel i need to destroy everything before it even begin.

i want to be the white wizard for your soul.
i want to be the paladin your world needs so bad.
i want to be appreciated and respected for my role.
i want to not feel the miserable void whenever i am sad.

i cant help it if the world crumbles before my feet.
i cant help it if you harbor much hatred for me.
i cant help it if you wished that we could have never meet.
i cant help it that only sadness and misery are all you can see.

i need you to show me how to slay a heart.
i need you to stab me a million times in my chest.
i need you to believe that we are a trillion worlds apart.
i need you to be eternally with me when we finally come to rest.

no words can ever explain how madly in love i am with you.

the five finger rumble

2010-01-29T01:21:00.004+08:00

i swung my fingers to the calling,
that i forget i am slapping a heart.

my fingers fall into the rumble of hatred,
that it wildly made its way.

and it landed on the yearn of a lover,
such omen of ill fated truth.

this perception of life as it lingers,
this harbinger of a lesson told.

the forward march of the five fingers,
the silent rhythm of its fold.

and before i realized the dance is over,
the horror had the winning shot.

2010-01-03T01:16:00.003+08:00

puas hatiku kini melihatmu,
dalam ambang kesengsaraan.

puas hatiku kini mendengar,
tangisan isi hatimu.

puas juga aku tertawa,
akan sifat lemahmu,

yang ku tonjolkan
dan ku manupulasikan
terhadap dirimu sendiri.

aku datang kepadamu,
tanpa seutas benang.
sifatku yang telanjang
ku paparkan kelemahan ku.

tetapi dengan bongkaknya,
kau menawan hatiku,
kau menerima ku,
sebagai penganut kerdil empayar angkasamu.

terkilan juga ku menjulang mentari,
sebagaimana yang kau membuatnya
kelihatan kecil segengam,
kelihatan seperti yang lain tak bermaya.

aku togok semua cerca dan hamunan,
dari lidah berbisamu itu,
ibarat unta kehausan,
tapi aku hanya kehausan ilmu.

tidak ku endah kata sinis yang lain,
yang mempersendakan semangatku.

aku tidaklah arif,
tentang kelihaian durjana
gengamanmu, oh globalisasi,
serta tusukan hipokrit bayanganmu.

tapi aku seorang yang hanya mimpikan kebebasan,
dari gejala kemiskinan yang sentiasa membelengu
anak bangsa ku,
bapak bangsa ku.

mungkin aku bukanlah yang pertama,
yang mencabar pertikaian ini,
tapi inilah tanggungjawabku,
terhadap kewujudan tamadunku.

aku ingin melihat kau menangis,
kerna kebodohanmu yang ketara,
tak mengunakan peluang,
yang ada di depan mata.

takkan terlambat mereka kata,
untuk memulakan suatu usaha?

apakah kata-kata yang ibarat nyamuk itu
tak terlintas di hatimu terus?

yang sepatutnya maju adalah kamu!
yang sepatutnya bebas adalah hatimu!

andai kau punya alter ego untuk maju,
mungkin aku pula yang kau tawakan.

no demons can crash my faith.

for i am the murder of my own gospels.

so that you may disappear in the void of the night.

Prayer for the 3 Kings

2009-11-13T02:24:00.004+08:00

I am your night though as visible as day.
I am your loyal general, countless minions I slay.

I am your mighty steed, I gallop you home in victory.
I am your trusted sword, the millions blows you protect with.

I am your throne, the golden chair only meant for you.
I am your crown, which only time will tell its heir.

I am your armour, of brazen steel and gold.
I am your shield, of the dragon horse so bold.

I am your mind my sire, the one irreplacable by gold.
I am your heart my lord, the one who gave you tears.

My kings, so there be peace in your battlefield hearts.
My kings, so there always be Allah in your souls.

My saviours, so there be none of poverty left for us.
My saviours, so there be enlightened paths for us to follow.

O' Allah, please keep my kings far from harm.
O' Allah, enforce my kings so they won't fall.

O' Allah, please answer this prayer with Your Almighty Wisdom & Generousity.

Amin Ya Rabbal Allamin

i am walking through this field
finally

i will walk further
and longer
this time around

my regrets has been
abolished
away for good

i am looking for
the shade
so i may rest a while

but alas, i am too quick
to be happy
like always

the rain clouds
came again
like how it left a while ago

now i must
look for the shade
quickly

another field
is just to troublesome
to find

i must hurry
to find that cottage
somewhere

one more year
to go before
everything is alright.

i hope you understand me,
my love.
i always adore you.

Jemu, penat, meluat, berpeluh.
Terlalu banyak telah ku tempuh,
dan setiap kali juga aku mengeluh.

Dulu menyangkal segala rasa,
sering dinobat laksmana frasa.
Punya taraf dan juga kuasa.

Tempuranku bukan pistol dan pedang,
perahan mindaku menjadi senapang,
tapi kini, terhimpit dan telanjang.

Kemelut ekonomi menjadi-jadi.
Aku antara mangsa yang tersembunyi,
dibelenggu hutang, kehilangan diri.

Wawasanku kini semakin pudar,
setiap hari terpaksa bersabar.
Sesuap nasiku terancam, tercabar.

Ijazah, diploma tak pernah ditanya,
tak guna juga sarjana muda kerna
rimbunan kerja perlu 'dwi-bahasa'.

Namun aku bukanlah pengecut,
tetap mengejar walau terhincut
menangkap peluang yang sentiasa memecut.

Simbahan neon kotarayaku
menjanjikan mimipi yang seribu satu.
Pencarianku takkan terbuntu.

Semua ini dugaan dunia semata,
dari kelas ijazah Yang Maha Esa.
Harapan cerah ditentukan masa.

Ku tak berani mengaku kalah,
walau hidupku menjadi payah.
Ku kan berjuang takkan menyerah.

Insya'allah

here, then, now, forever

in words, of course.

Selamat Tinggal Melayuku

2009-04-15T12:18:00.006+08:00

Ku kan pergi tanpa doa restu lanjutmu.
Ku kan tinggalkan bulat-bulat semata-mata
kerna kau contohi bangsa yang kan pupus.

Selamat tinggal hari dan girang
ketika ku di pangkuan dan asuhanmu.
Di pimpin tanganmu yang bertatu naga.

Terima kasih ku ucap buat semua kekasihku
yang berambut perang dan bertindik mukanya.
Hanya denganmu ku tahu erti maksiat.

Kata kasihku kepadamu yang mengajar
aku mengira dan menghitung angka,
ketika beratur menikam nombor toto.

Hanya maki hamunan menjadi zikirmu,
dengan siul-siulan dan lagak gayamu.
Kenapa keganasan saja yang kau agungkan?

Percayamu pada ketahyulan mengatasi
Yang Maha Kuasa; bermacam jarum sudah ditanam,
demi mengejarkan ide kuno kekebalan jasad.

Aku sering megahkan keberanianmu,
memotong dan mencincang seterumu.
Tapi kenapa kau menangis dikamar penjara?

Gundah dan hiba hatimu itu
diterjunkan dalam lautan air keras.
Adakah solat dah tak menenangkan?

Si naga-naga terbang melangit,
hendak si gagak sentiasa mengejarnya.
Menghisap najis dadah seumpama mimpi buruk.

Aku serik sudah dengan nasihatmu itu.
yang perlu diubah bukanlah mereka.
Sadarlah dari khayalmu itu!

Bermusim sudah berlalu pergi tapi,
tamadunmu tetap disesia.
Bangun oh Melayuku, kita ditinggal jauh!

a remembrance of how volatile the air we breathe in.
the portrait in our memories of life, the way we want.

it is useless my friend, to arm yourself in brink of peace.
but nevertheless the tragedy keeps repeating.
i used to walk my twenty minutes in a field of gold
but these days we march to the morgue faster than we walk.

i know the world is a dirty place, filled with love and happiness for the rich.
but in times like these, we keep calling out for the beauty in our existence.
you could have had that life you wanted, if not for the things you see.
you could have lived like the general's wife and be who you could have been.

i am asleep when the words were revealed.
the birch tree branches were the only witnesses.
these songs are the only truth that we could have.
my singers are beings from the skies we call home.

last few days

2009-02-09T22:05:00.003+08:00

i am here no longer,
my body has shown its wither.

my dreams have not been met,
all i can do now is to forget.

my prayers were never really there,
i guess i shall die in despair.

i am afraid but i am not,
because i know it is all my fault.

i wish i could reverse this,
just as simple like a kiss.

but it is all too late now,
i only have this much that time allows.

this pain is piercing through my chest,
i just know that this will be my final rest.

i want you to know that i'll keep our love ablaze,
especially in these last few days.

i will leave you soon enough,
and i hope all this wont be tough.

i know i should have listened to you,
but i just act as if i had no clue.

i guess the smoke has finally consume me,
shown me my last and final agony.

i have to tell you that i'll always be here,
maybe i wont but probably i'll appear.

if you just stay and listen to the walls,
you will probably hear my silent calls.

i am sorry i have to go, i really am.
i wish you safe and sound and hope you do good for your exams.

spin the holster and see my shine as part i am
of the twenty swordsmen

lick my blade oh unfortunate tongue as who you were
my prey

fearsome eyes and masks of steel
still i slash through you, i am the seventh sword

my sins were never there im just a tool,
of only time may tell of death

i am just a tool of reckless men
who cut open your hearts and call it deed

my hilt be hold by thousand murderers
and yet i am a saint

my creation

my heart remains as pure though I have slain a million

grief not ye lost souls who lost your humanity,
i shall purify your darkest vengeance
do not be lost o humanity that be enslaved in your freedom of life
i will be your only solace

speak to me in your forsaken language of love
so i may destroy and annihilate any of your emotions
sing to me in your enchanted melody
so i may dischord your joy and laughter

i am the holy balancer
i am your brother dear
i am your darkest fear
i am your only lover

my only creation of misery
has proved you to be the lasting adversary
when you stood up to me
and said that you loved me

i am but the holy balancer.
i reverse your sins to love
i nullify your forgiveness to hate
and i turn your regrets to happiness

leave you i should and kill you i would
my sense of time repeats itself
on this everlasting cycle of agony
and my weary soul that has no heartbeat

my wings faded the night to day
and my clamoring voice shall wake the sun
just to hear you cry
when you see my alluring eyes

my eyes, my sinful eyes
my voice, my wretched voice
my face, behind my eternal mask of bliss
my heart, which yearns your darkest kiss

and i am sorry for all that has been lost.
and i am sorry for being created
the holy balancer
of love and hate

Over my hand flew a snow white dove
When'd she disappear into the sun?
He has a halo, for dreams return to dust
Words dissolve on the page like tears in blood

Out from my hand flew a snow white dove
When'd she disappear into the sun?
I am bleeding
Oh, I'm in need of love

When Shakespeare sang err on err
And so I sing
When Shakespeare turned dust to dust
So too my love

White sand in between the waves
Well, I call these words 'We'll meet someday'
Across the ocean where my heart burns
Was it you I saw under the pale moon?

When Shakespeare sang err on err
And so I sing
When Shakespeare turned dust to dust
So too my lov

When we're running from lost love
Leaving punctured skin on the floor
Was it you I saw under the pale moon?
Woe bleeding heart

So while I wept, lying imagery
Wait for someone blind
Woe for one day, his eyes were saved
Wait for me there

secrets

2008-11-26T01:29:00.005+08:00

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

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

the return of heuronymous

2008-11-22T00:32:00.003+08:00

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.

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.

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.

the longest time

2008-02-23T19:17:00.005+08:00

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.

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...

my only freedom

2008-01-15T19:31:00.001+08:00

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.

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.

welding this hollow pillars.
using my superpowers which i thought could heal.
she died.
he wasnt there when she did.
he was drowing when she bleed.
i killed him, but it wasnt my fault.
i was saving him from himself.
the curse that fly right thru you.
but she,
but she...
was always in my mind.

but she...
is the one i have to protect.

the swing was to sleep your soul in peace and tranquil.
the step forth was a plan to ruin your grace.

lose your god and seek revenge.
the sword has always been in your hands.
the hero you are rest dark beneath the smile in his face.
it is the only option you have, to cleanse disgrace.

i am there for you.
let me guide you through this blackened aura.
tattooed by our own sins.
a playground where we've always been.

redmption seeks those who find it.
understand this path is not a redemption.

you will slay your anger within.
you will come home clean.

your hatred and stupidity leads you to the visible stench of your own ego.
it is something i will never guide you or to tell you to let go.
you blood rages with the senseless pain that you crave for.
you know you can't live the day without it anymore.

i am here for you, to let you feel the pain of your ignorance.
i am here for you , to simmer guilt between your ears.
your existence is my freedom.
to let me guide you to his awaiting doom.

shiver, shiver, shiver.
to the illusion of winter your mind creates.
and cry so hard to his righteousness,
for he has abandoned all his hopes.

this life is too far from over,
understand this is a dream.

never thought it would end the scream.

apparently this machine had stopped the nerves of an unidentified spectre,
and the enigmatic lush of his agonizing smile.

these tears that too often rolled down his interface without his knowledge.
he said he was left behind a long time ago by a father he was supposed to know.

i am who i was and i was created for this cause.
the beauty of the mushroom cloud in this virtuosity.
my relentless regrets for my existence, for my beauty is your destruction.

so you can finally see my true colors.

so i smile upon thee with furious anger and undying laughter,
shall i strike your heart with guilt that will last till hereafter.
the weak shall perish and seek salvage from the shadows in sin,
apart from their swelling empathies that kept them within.
the courageous and the righteous, will then be crying and bleed,
their false idols brazen and dismembered by the children of their seed.

the sleep that does not depend, then day was not that it was spent.
so night then was the day of sleep, despite the hustle of the street.
i asked you once that you feel fine, and said yes because you were mine.
so we slept and dance the whole night through, and paint the colours of pink and blue.

until the fire in our hearts just fade, i woke up to find the open gate.
i was told that my love was fine, and not just that she was mine.
alas she left me by the bed, she left me nothing but what she said.
our dance was more than once, but i guess it was something she does not want.

and i asked myself do i feel fine, and not just that she was mine.
this music that our dreams had spun, so finally it fades out in the sun.

it doesnt change anything. it burns you clean.
allow it to infatuate and love your sins. that you deny. that you deny.
oh holy men. oh sinful ones. may the beloved sky set you free.
abolish your guilt by means of blood that flows freely in a river bed.
enough said. enough said. i know the secrets of your happiness.
he was the first and last to know, the beautiful lie that you conspire.
let it be scorched in the flame of fire. release the cure for your agony. you have done enough for yourself today.
