I don't look up at the sky

I'm tired of looking back
Now all I see are pieces
Ashes of misery
Pieces of my past

In my eternal unrest
I walk to the plains of the Lethe
Unburden
One foot after the other
Forcing my way into the abyss

Numb to my spirit
And my body in ache
Numb to my spirit
And my body in ache

I enter the gates of Hell
No body. No soul. No name
And drink incessantly
In the waters of the Lethe
Flooding the desert of my soul
My tears are washed away
My wounds are clean
And the desperate screams no more
I enter the gates of Hell
No body. No soul. No name
And drink incessantly
In the waters of the Lethe
Flooding the desert of my soul
My tears are washed away
My wounds are clean
And the desperate screams no more

The names of the innocent still surround me
The stream washes away their echoes
And my-self goes away with them

Oblivion is now my name
And my face knows no expression
I am reborn in a veil

Oblivion is now my name
And my face knows no expression

I am reborn in a veil
A new orphan of the Lethe

The river takes me to the white stony shores
Of forgetfulness
Where I wake to watch the diamonds in the sea
The river takes me to the white stony shores
Of forgetfulness
Where I wake to watch the diamonds in the sea
Where I wake to watch the diamonds in the sea

Once more
I look up at the sky
And enjoy the silence
Once more
I look up at the sky
And enjoy the silence
