There is the hangman I was condemned No future in sight No joy for vain life What is the purpose To believe in something If everything ends All of a sudden All the roads lead here No escape from fate Sentenced to a dormant state Nonexistent Morbid soul I was dormant No dreams at all I’ve realized I was already dead I had accepted fate This is it Resignate Glad is the man Who believes in nothing He wanders through time He carries no burden Glad is the man Who believes in nothing He wanders through time He carries no burden What is the purpose To believe in something If everything ends All of a sudden I was dormant No dreams at all I’ve realized I was already dead I had accepted fate This is it This is it Resignate
3.	Resignation 06:05	lyrics	buy track
Lethargic and rotting He’s dying alone No moon, no sun No earth below Lethargic and rotting Haunted existence Half man, half thing Becoming only the thing Forgotten by self The blaze went out No rivers, no mountains No sky above Forgotten by self His wills have faded Like a rock coming down the mountain He’s not master of his fortune
4.	Hole 05:39	lyrics	buy track
I cut the rope and near the end I roused I refuse the mediocrity I want the sun, the moon and the cosmos Served in a tray made of gold Master sun speak to me Am I the only one? Running in circles Chasing the rabbit Towards this hole in the soil Running in circles Chasing the rabbit Towards this hole in the soil Still so many doubts I keep searching but I canʼt find myself Should man live like this? At least Iʼm free or at least I think I am Master sun speak to me Am I the only one? Running in circles Chasing the rabbit Towards this hole in the soil
5.	Why Do I Desire 04:14	lyrics	buy track
Why do I desire What I do not need? Why does my soul, like fire, Or a hot abstract greed, Seek all that is higher? Why, if not because It is a soul? Who can know the cause When it lies in its whole Hidden in laws? Yet this matters not. What matters is pining And that stress of thought That comes of divining What to wish that may not be got. (poem by Fernando Pessoa)
