REDEMPTION I Please just let me reborn I always wanted to be released I need my broken soul to be restored I’m down on my worn out knees To gracefully wear the crown of thorns Give me one single opportunity To recover all the gifts I abhorred Let me glimpse the blaze of felicity There’s no time left to deplore I crave for these gardens of purity The ones I mustn’t ever attempt to rob Bestow me unlimited immunity And I shall not falter anymore Grant me one more valid chance To finally wipe out my quiet sobs I’ve been to the kingdom of anguish I’m sure this time around I’ll not get lost Once you offer me your infinite trust and patience And simply leave all useless uncertainties to rot I’ll not beg for your compassion or lenience I shall never wound your noble and kind heart I’ll endeavor to sow any requested penitence I’m anxious yet perfectly able to make a new start As for my possible wrongs, I’ll take the consequences I p...
Cântico VI Canticle VI Tu tens um medo: You have one single fear: Acabar. To perish. Não vês que acaba todo o dia. You do not realize you’re fading everyday. Que morres no amor. That you’re expiring in love. Na tristeza. In sadness. Na dúvida. In doubt. No desejo. In longing. Que te renovas todo o dia. That you reinvent yourself every day. No amor. In Love. Na tristeza. In sorrow. Na dúvida. In uncertainness. No desejo. In wishfulness. Que és sempre outro. That you’re always another . Que és sempre o mesmo. That you’re always the same.

Foreverafter Dammed be eternity Which cursed and sentenced my eyes to witness the lives of those whom I love, be reduced to dust I watch them born, I behold them die I wait as they grow up and also grow old I see their flaws, see they work them out I observe their passions, laugh when they fall hard I appreciate their growing light, their cheerful enthusiasm Their foolish dreams, their uncertain paths Their worthless greed and senseless wars Their pitiful regret and countless faults I respect their obsessions, their hunger for possessions Their fear of damnation and unstoppable seek for salvation I understand their pain, I mourn for their losses I listen to their whims, rejoice with their noises I grieve for their bad deeds, when they burn alive the seas Then they amaze me again, with their charm and impeccable smile But then later I inevitably cry for a while, when they infallibly start to run out of time. By The Heartless a.k.a Vanesxa
