I feel something seizes me
I don´t have the strength to hold on
I don´t know if its worth the strggle
Or if I ougth to give up.
I see the blackshape in front of me...
solumn, distant!
Is tell me...the time has come!
I feel his breath on my face
There´s nothing I can do
Like a tears running down trogh my cheek
And flowing to my mouth
Which make me feel that bitter taste
...The taste death
I´m scared ...yed relieved
Everything ends, there´s no turning back
His cloak surrounds me
To snatch my soul away
All my life passed before mi eyes
There´s nothing beyond
Everything begins to darken
End,suddenly, my life has been taken.
This is my end!
My end!
This is my end!
Engulfed in darkness, I´m still on my way
But I yearn for the end to como
Each step is a torture
I´ve been walking for a long time
And I can´t see the end yet
Rivers of blood are crossing it
Carrying lifeless bodies away
However, I must continue ...an eternal damnation.
Which seems to haunt me forever
At every turn I find sadness, pain and depression
Which makes me hate my path
At every turn I light at the end of my road,
Many did end their way, many did not,
But I´m forced to go on, eternal agony
Fear arrived to pain's thereshold
At the end of the false path
At the beginning of the black outcome
Because right where you are
There's no air, but pressure
Nor brightness neither light
To lead your way
Which is not a road
But an unstoppable flow
And it takes and submerges you
Deep within yourself
Without your beeing aware
About how useless yelling is
But you do it anyway
Slowly getting mad
Possibly wondering about mercy
Or about a holy forgiveness
Which will never arrive.
Noone will grant you thy privilege
Since it doesen't belong to you
The only thing of your own is the right to suffer
Until you die in pain
This is the legacy of your life
Cold Winter Dusk, walking between the mist
I cross paths and ways under my candlelight.
As I arrive at my dwelling, I see them above it,
Black ravenstake off, a bad omen comes with me.
Day after day I see them, with their never-ending flight.
Sad howling wolfs also begun to resound.
I know what my destiny is, dead omen surrounds me,
my last travel will soon start.
Three days in a role, dog andwolf howls
confirm my tears and announce my end.
In know that soon I´ll die, and there´s nothing
I can do
unless prepare myself for eternal rest.
I feel weak, tired and feeble,
a strong stench of wax announces their presence,
they come to give me the candle that soon they´ll take
and I´m lying, waiting my end.
Dawn has arrived, black ravens take off,
guiding my soul in its last travel.
When black ravens take off, announce my end,
I´m the chosen one to walk with the dead,
although I don´t know it,
each midnight I go to my datewith souls,
to guide them to someone´s home,
and they´ll announce him his dead.
I lead the procession,
bearing death´s standard,
the souls are following me,
with candles made of deceased bones,
walking through lonely paths,
stopping in earth rrosing,
until we reach our destiny.
Ended our travel,
The "Compaña" enters the hause of the next deceased,
leaving a candle that will be picked up the following nigth,
meaning the unarvoidable end.
I´m the chosen one the walk with the dead.
Although I don´t know it,
I guide them to someone´s home,
to announce him that he soom won´t be alive.
I offer this suffering to anyone who comes across me,
until someone accepts.
I keep struggling day after day
But I'm running out of strenght
I can't bear it any longer
The black void closes even more
And I'm surrounded by darkness
Why?
The eyes of suffering stare at me
I want to stop with this right now
So I yearn for the moment to come
When the ravens fly over me
To bring me their message
Revealing my destiny
Closing the circle of eternal glory
...Ending with my existence.
Peace will be then finally granted
This punishment will be over
Mankind and it's nonsense rules wich i never
Wanted to be part of
Will be left behind
I´m the bearer of the candle,
which The "Compaña" gave me,
which today will be reclaimed,
and so my life.
Black ravens fly over my dwelling,
and the wolves with their howls,
know that I´m going to die.
Midnight has fell,
and the spirits come for their candle
taking my soul with them.
I see my body lyind lifeless,
my beloved crying at my remains,
while I´m going away from them.
They cover my lifeless body with a white shroud,
sealing me to avoid my soul escape,
and be also buriend.
I´m in purgatory,
I´ve left a mission in life,
that don´t let me have my eternal rest,
and now I´m condemned to roam between the alive,
wandering along the paths,
to play all the debts I left in life.
If I fultil my sentence,
Digging deep within my self
I can't stop about wondering existance
What are we...
Our mission....
I see everything dark my mind is confused
I despise you all...
I despise your believes...
I despise your dreeds...
No matter what path you choose
The End will come anyway
Almighty being, supreme lord
You are real, fearsome
No one can escape from you
You walk among the living
To take them into your embrace
You are mercyless, unstoppable,
No god can help,
Anew day begins...
Another grey dawn lights
The misfortune of a hollow existence
Life...What does it mean?
No need to get through this lie
Dark penance,pitch black misery that i feel...
Everything inside my mind is leading me to confusion
A challenge i can't face
So,take my hand and release me from this pain
Take me to the place where time stops
Where pain ends...
Where i will vanish forever
Guide me towards ypur realm
My wounds are open and they keep on bleeding
Everything inside my soul is leading me to despair
A pressure i can't stand.
Empty roads getting me nowhere
Rivers of blood flowing into an endlesssea of grief
How long will this last?
All my hope is turning into hatred
And,like a gloomy candle that lost its flame
My bliss completely fades
...My path slowly darkens,slightly becoming black.
I want to see you
I yearn to feel you
I know it will be the last thing i will do
But you will free me from this agony
You will end my suffering
You will ease my sorrow
