The Total Absence Of Light (act I) Lyrics - Singles - Odes Of Ecstasy

I'm the cries 

The cries of all the weak 

I'm the lies 

The lies that feed you (for) years 

I'm the dreams 

The dreams that fade as time pass 

I'm the drug 

The drug that fondles your grief 

I'm the hope 

The hope that never lived 

I'm the storm 

The storm you fear to deal with 

In your minds 

The death of sanity 

In your lifes 

The misery always reigns 

In your eyes 

The total absence of light 

Death is my 

My reason to exist 

Time is my 

My worst of (all) enemies 

Life is my 

My doom for (the) years to come 

The cries of all the weak 

The lies that feed you (for) years 

The dreams that fade as time pass 

The drug that fondles your grief 

The hope that never lived 

The storm you fear to deal with 

The death of sanity 

The misery which reigns 

The total absence of light 

"We are like certain senses scattered wide 

That have no hope of ever reuniting 

All nature in our nerves falls in confusion 

We ache in both our body and recollection 

All things reject us, and all poetry 

Fills us with envy as our last asylum" 

(Poetry by Kostas Kariotakis
