Terra Incognita  

Plummeting into Eternity

  

... We used to go to the top of a tower building two streets from here where we used to plan our future together... But now it's over... Those times will never return... The ever-increasing pain inside me almost drives me crazy... I continually find myself talking to the angel: asking it questions, accusing it, asking for solutions, begging... but there's no reply. I have to go up into the tower. Maybe I'll be able to calm down there a little and find a way out of this swamp... Maybe this was all just a bad dream. But if it wasn't, then I now know that something other than Good does exist. Our lives are just a test, because Evil lives here on Earth, around us and in us, and it personifies itself within us... This is something we all must live through, everyone with their own individual fate. But if the Land of Light does exist, then all we have to do is learn to live in a way that will make us worthy of eternal life... I don't think I'm worthy of it...

Please confirm that this is just a dream
Promise me that I will see him again
Alive like before
Now will every minute cause me pain?
Will my sin forever burn like the sun's flame
Poison all my veins, curse me till I'm lame
Make all my hope wane?!

Please let me go now
This must end somehow
I've suffered for my crime
Trust me, I sure tried
But I can't stand it here now
Wipe away this damned curse!

Perhaps it's best that I'm still afraid
My heart cries out for hope, still my life is pain
Cos nothing now remains, no one knows my name
The Land of Light awaits far away...

I climbed the tower above all the clouds
Where we once daydreamed, n' your memory prowls
Don't need no daydreams, they're worthless now
The dreaded winds howl n' blow me off the tower.

Perhaps it's best here in the arms of fate
Her heart cried out for hope, still her life was pain
Cos nothing more remained, no one knew her name
The Land of Light called and she soared away
Her body hit the ground n' lives no more
Her soul was filled with awe:
A leaf before the fall
Cos this tower ain't so high
This here's the tree of life
Reality's a great deceptive lie...
