Votre Réalité

Eh, pourquoi votre réalité est si faussée,
Vous n'êtes que manipulés,
Dans ce monde, tout semble ébranlé,
J'sais pas, j'sais pas, où tout cela va mener.

Eh, pourquoi votre réalité est si faussée,
Sa me donne qu'envie de gerber,
Tout ce faux,...

Though Will The Rich Emperor (Bussokusekika)

Throughout history
Many explorers have sought
The fountain of youth
I believe that when I die
I’ll receive eternal life
Though will the rich emperor

Time

Struggling through yet another day,
Starting to wonder if it's always going to be this way,
Or if anything will ever be okay,

These walls are cold and dark,
Life for me has never been a walk in the park,
This time has not finally made it's...

MOUNTAINTOP

Here, I sit alone on this mountaintop, listening to the sound of the pouring rain and looking at this painting that some may call a masterpiece. I get no rest. It seems like I am always awake. Who is it that is looking for my soul to take

Here I...

The self

Tell me
I am alarmed
As the morning light begins to disembark
Through the realms of my earth and for
Allah's hearth
Love to hear your voice
My sadness...

My Hugs Are Stronger Than Your Tears!

If life should ever knock you down
And torrents soon appear,
You will get wet but do not fret
I'll hug away your tears!

All torrents like a river flow
And currents act like shears,
When shattered lives are cut like knives
And cause so many...

I was obsessed with love.

I was obsessed with love.

Love,I tried to find you,
in the fairy tales,
in my those childhood days.

I searched you,
in the heart beats of my beloved
and tried to remove the doubt which was clouded.

Love, affection I thought,
you were...

Live Upon the Sand

I met a man upon the sand and this is what he said:
How can I strive to stay alive when I myself am dead?
So when life and pain are one and same,
Mark me down as gone and...

The Accursed

Some foolish game, when power claimed leaves needy in their dread,
Woe to those who claim the rose is blue and is not red.
Gold and food with visions skewed, always to them first
When trumpet blows, then they will know the day they were...

Man in the mirror

Always said I would be better than I was raised to see,
None of the men in my life were the man I wanted to be,
When I now look in the mirror they are the men staring back at me,

Why has life left me empty and so alone,
How is the pain more...

Terminal

I visited you
at a moment
your life seemed steady
at a time
when you were dreaming
dreaming of the years to come

with a precious bond
of loving care
standing at your side
her joy and laughter
easing your pain
from fear and reality
