Lyrics:

This is a mystery to me,
All this hell that I've been living
seems it's gone away for good.

Bright new colors that I see,
Newly acquired perception,
such a welcome gift it is.

(The) Years I've lived upon this earth,
I spent all my days struggling,
in a quarrel with myself.

No opponent on this race:
so much life has been wasted,
gone and never coming back!

Gone insane again, a wave of yellow pain,
forever carved, residing in my brain.

A piercing sound, a shadow on the wall.
This hate I breath, the path I feared to cross.

(Cross) the stream runs fast, no way of going back.
My life has fled, the water turning black.
My flesh feels numb, there is nothing I can do,
the river Styx, I will be crossing soon.

Dressed in their cloaks my sins wait
holding my fate in their hands.
Whispering the deeds of my days...
Halting the beat of my heart.

Steering the boat is no one
All my concerns overcome
Now that the shore lies across
There is no coin left to toss

Could all of this just be a dream?
Or a vision I've been granted,
by a guardian of the light?

Prayers are forming in my mind,
in a language I can't utter,
neither clearly understand.

I feel myself torn within,
my attention split in pieces,
emanating from above.

Shadows gather all around.
I can feel them grin and hissing
like that great snake of old.

As soon I step upon the other shore,
they watch me like we have met before.
My sins are mine, the children of my life,
each one a breath of never ending strife.

(Strife) my love, my friend, the ruler of my heart,
possessed my being, just right from the start.
There is no one, no guardian of the light,
I am alone, a dark soul in the night.

In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni
