Another realm abandoned, still no sign to grasp
This time on his own he was, none to aid him on his task
The vision that has driven him, was slowly dissipating
Conditions now turned truly dim, rock bottom was awaiting
Despite all he went on, senses dull and blunted
Piece by piece the ardent seeker has become the hunted
Just as he deemed to have truly lost his trail
He froze as he's caught a glimpse of the requisite grail
Do not be afraid of wandering astray
For the journey that you'll make
Will fulfill the very role of your fate
Ride on waves of the fire
Set aflame by the spark of life
Fueled by the presence of desire
We shall be able to withstand every strife
In a world where masses watch their fires wither
Some hide in their ignorance and in the cold they quiver
Others suffocate them by the chains of fashion
Few ever use its shine to chase their passion
The knight who set out to search the world
For a sight he has seen in his dreams
Faced fabled beasts and giants
With all their spells and cursing screams
With every year that's passed
And every dear life faded
Doubts were growing vast
And what once was bright got shaded
No period, no era
No matter how tiring or long
Shall plant a seed of resignation
For sincerity will never bear wrong
Ride on waves of the fire
Set aflame by the spark of life
Fueled by the presence of desire
We shall be able to withstand every strife
Now with hope restored again
Turned out the efforts were not in vain
As he treaded down the newfound trail
He knew that this time he'd prevail
As he recieved the gifts of victory
His earthly shell has come undone
His deeds have turned to memory
And his mind rose to join stars and sun
Remember those who fought
Against mundane creed
To lighten up the flames of courage
For us to dare the deed
Ride on waves of the fire
Set aflame by the spark of life
Fueled by the presence of desire
We shall be able to withstand every strife

Mere Illusion

A dreamer once dreamt ‘bout the sky
And all the stars embedded
He picked the one that shone the most
And called it his beloved
Shaped all its traits to fit him well
Would die for it and march through hell
At once a twitch woke him from sleep
The star was lost and buried deep
He swiftly paced outside to see
If he could find its glow again
He found the star that shone the most
And came up with a noble plan
He climbed and climbed towards the sky
As far as ladders reach
Composed for it with all his heart
A love declaring speech
As all his words and praise were spent
And the star did not react
He’d wondered why his distant friend
Had differed from his dream’s construct
Whilst searching for the missing steam
One thought had won the strife :
Stars are stones and only in dream
They can be brought to life
Predictions made about what differs
From their conceivers nature
Are doomed to come untrue since they’re
That realm’s itself creature
All they do is cast a shroud
Upon what’s safe to come
But once it’s lifted, truth’s revealed
To collide with what’s been spun
The aftermath of this collision
Turns prophets into scavengers
Left to wander with no aim
Deeming life an endless curse
Yet from all the broken prophecies
A message shall arise
To guard against those conjurations
Revealing their demise
Rejoice upon the discovery
Upon the lucent knowledge
Let it detect all misery
And every biased image
Whenever one receives the blessing
To meet others of his kind
For each and every case of doubting
A solution he shall find

A Giant To Face
06:21

My haven torn apart again
Burried by the walls I raised myself
And again I struggle to escape
The clutches of my mind's confusion
Where lies the way, the path, the track
What are the steps and moves to make
And how do I reap the fruit of my labor
Draw meaning from scattered dots
Fuse the poles of mind and flesh
Emerge from the deepest slumber
Have I come this far
Just to give
In
I am here to find a way
To the top
Of this mountain
Take your time
And gather strength
For this climb will wear you down
But the part of you that will rise again
Will face the giant and take his crown
Now,
now that the voices receded
Let me immerse into
My primal self
And commence the recreation
Take in air
And breathe
Construe the facts and true relations
Take a sober glance at the matter in hand
And conclude what broke me down
As the eternal sand is trickling
Swirls of thoughts are flushing by
I fathom out the cause
Of the crack
That threw me back
Brought back doubts
And raised riddles I'd thought long solved
But now my answers are correct
'cause this time I took in the fact
The thorn was in my mind again
It stung and caused that well known pain
At dawn I shall resume the rise
With steady steps and open eyes
Now it's time to take the crown
And I shall bring him down

Thrilled For The Brawl

Sought out by the watcher inside
Determined by eternal law
The way in order to abide
Fall right down fate's black maw
What dwells there has been often told
By those who passed the test
But to truly see how far to go
It's our task to unlock the chest
What troubles even the boldest
The nemesis can twist and form
Adapt to surpass what they do best
Invade the mind and leave them torn
Nevertheless they cannot wait
That overwhelming sensation
The privilege of being a living bait
The thrill, the excitation
Thrown into the pit,
amidst the raging stream
Torches of war lit,
sword and axe agleam
The onslaught is relentless,
beasts are closing in
As the living board is set
and the characters are moving
And may the first the encounters
Have been losses for the greatest part
They spurred us to find out the ways
Of the masters of our art
With power unprecedented
We march on through the gate
The chance that we have long awaited
Is there for us to take
Before the newest spell's display
The surroundings have collapsed
Meanwhile the beast has got away
But now it know it's time's elapsed
The assurance of our powers working
Unlocked a hidden door
By stepping through we entered the circle
Became masters of the arts we adore
One task that's still left to be done
Is to learn to wield the newfound might
But just by tracking down the beast
We already are on the path to light
What dwells there has been often told
By those who passed the test
But to truly see how far to go
It's our task to unlock the chest
What troubles even the boldest
The nemesis can twist and form
Adapt to surpass what they do best
Invade the mind and leave them torn
Next occasions sighted
The overwhelming sensation
By facing beasts delighted
The thrill, the excitation
Thrown into the pit,
amidst the raging stream
Torches of war lit,
sword and axe agleam
The onslaught is relentless,
beasts are closing in
As the living board is set
and the characters are moving
Let me drift away
To solitary aethers
Where I can forget
All this profanity
So that when I come back
Stones will be stars again

When time is too dark for light to shine
And hope to make us wait for a sign
We must close our eyes and feel where the way lies
The one that leads away from where we are
To a place where our dreams can come true
To where they come alive
To that place they call by all those names like
Heaven eternity or paradise
With the first rays of daylight darkness fades away
And all living forces come into play
Life starts growing from what fires left behind
And our world gets redesigned
When all endeavors seem in vain
We must see to find our focus again
Like a plant that sprouts through ice and snow
We too can rise and grow when warmth is gone
Become the one who we want to be and do what brings us joy
Wake what's slept inside us for such a long time
Finally unfolding to its full extent
With the first days of spring the whole world starts to shake
All living creatures become awake
How affecting to minds of men
To witness life draw breath again
With the first rays of daylight darkness fades away
And all living forces come into play
Life starts growing from what fires left behind
And our world gets redesigned
With the first days of spring the whole world starts to shake
All living creatures become awake
How affecting to minds of men
To witness life draw breath again
