lyrics

Here I am
Condemned but to taste
And brood over the poison of days
Melancholia, my sad love
With you I'm bound to fall

How much solitude will it take
To break away from this jail?
Praying to the air
But praying true
I am my own torturer

Sadness is a grave
Sadness is a grave
Sadness is a grave
Sadness is a grave

Until the grave

Born without reason
We prolong ourselves out of weakness
And will die by chance
Are you blest?
Stunned by your own catastrophe

Why putting lights on shadows?
I only mix with bygone ghosts
Dialectics of Life
All worn-out
Icarus, just another one

Sadness is a grave
Sadness is a grave
Sadness is a grave
Sadness is a grave

Sadness to the grave
Hope the grave shall fix it away
Sadness to the grave
Hope the grave shall fix it away
Sadness to the grave
Hope the grave shall fix it away
Sadness to the grave

Salvation lies in oblivion
I wish I could forget everything
True confessions are only made of tears

On these salty sobs
Filled with hope
On these salty sobs
My desire will sail

O me, with but my tears
I could drown this world
O me, fallen as I am
blazing with swirls
Aye me, I feel so powerful
Tough and Fierce
Aye me, I will this sadness transcend
Right now
