Vreid - The Others and the Look

Buried alive in a world of disappear This grey maze shadows my sight A self made coffin buried by dread An overwhelming angst fills my head Captivated by the presence of others I aim at them to mirror my thoughts To reflect and share my visions I am something, without them I am not From the shadows I watch and observe them Living my hunger through their lives Every move directed with caution Let them see through me, but never inside I wander through the shadows Naked by the guilt in their eyes The eyes reflect my sadness Shall I seek their forgiveness How great it would be To release all sorrows, to set my soul free I lit the fire My world burns today Tomorrow is of redemption With ashes I wash it all away There is no reek of sulphur No overwhelming heat I see no malignant maestro I have no sense of defeat A mental purification Shape shifting transformation A blur has been removed from my sight With the ashes I rise Liberated by the will to power I seek no reflection of my thoughts I have a crystallized vision I am nothing, without them I am all
