The Faraway

I knew and even the knowledge could not save me 

Forget about the crush last night
Forget that I am terrified
This is the work of fire 
Sunrise I am your crimson child
Sunrise I am your fire and whirlwind 
Sunrise I am your vanishing and your rebirth 
Through the citadel of burning sunrise I was unearthed 
In the kindling of the winds I died
Surrendering to the sacred star and it’s resurrection fire 
Do not think I would arise to a roaring spring before getting you on your knees
La divina commedia 
It was the memory of moonlight in another world 
That made me a kindling fire in this decaying universe
It was day after day of wasteland  
Give me another way to survive 
Give me another memory of moonlight 
Give me another escape from this wasteland  
Give me another day to decide 
Give me a rebirth in the hidden wilds 
Yes I am that decadence 
Yes I am that wreckage 
Rebirth into the falling universe 
Desire burned like desolation in me 
It was the memory of a killing Genesis 
I am the hidden moonlight
If I am your lover then I am the way you survive
This decade of standing before the moonlit universe  
Yes I am that decadence yes I am alive
In the midnights black arteries  
I looked at the wreckage and I called that devastation light
Artemis of the midnight
Do not think I survive for a roaring spring before getting you on your knees
This is Genesis 
You were injured but so was I 
This is the end (again)
Scarred like the stars
It was a sacred Genesis 
This is the flood of moonlight 
This is Genesis
This is the end 
Yes I drown and I drown again 
This is your heartbeat awakening 
This is Genesis this is where the world begins 
Drowning in starlight from black stars hidden in the wilds 
This existence is annihilation 
This is the end (again)
I saw everything floating away from me 
Like the remnants of a dream after awakening
This killing existence  
It was like a trap you laid in the voids
I arrived at the origins of the dark earth
I said this is revival
This is rebirth 
I was a starving flame
And then you came like a grace in the wasteland
You died in the remnants of a daydream 
A bait that led me from the labyrinth of midnights 
You were a fragile birth 
You were a crimson child
You were the burning universe 
Like the crimson sunrise 
If I am your lover 
Then I am your suicide 
This is how you die 
This is how you revive 
Once there was a god 
Then he retired to the quiet hills 
How could you survive this stillness 
My fragile violence  
This decadence!
The falling universe in your mirror 
This is how fire arrived
In a shroud of sunlight
You were captured by daybreaks
