Desert Ruins - Etterna

I woke up in my bed

In the middle of emptiness

There was only a desert

And leftovers of my home

But something strokes me

Behind a corner of damaged wall

I could feel and hear it

It throbbed like an echo in my head

Leave me — never

Help me — you´re the sinner

Voices — here we are

Despair — you deserve

Leave me — never

Help me — you´re the sinner

Voices — here we are

Kill me — not yet

They came only for me

What could I’ve done

They’ve tried to break

The peace in my mind

Those voices told me:

«run away through the desert ruins

And don´t look behind your back»

This way they were still with me

«I am your son, so why did I die?»

Running from my stranger son

I tried to find some place to hide

Family demons waited in the back

It felt hard to slow down

In front of my eyes from the sand

Bars grew up and grabbed my hands

I saw Shadow bearing my dead son

But there´s no time because

They came only for me

What could I’ve done

They’ve tried to break

The peace in my mind

Those voices told me:

«run away through the desert ruins

And don´t look behind your back»

This way they were still with me

I felt a hand

On my shoulder

While bars were transforming

Into grains of sand

Everything is flying around me

Beings are just disappearing

Now every fuckin´ misery

Is worse a thousand times

I am sitting in a corner of a cell

And realizing that I was that shadow

I feel anxious again

My family is buried and I am the sinner

I am crying there with blood on my hands

Contemplating ´bout my past

When I will commit a suicide

Who will be responsible for my life
