- Doomed as We Are
Your eyes are tired, let them close. Forget about me, for I'm no loss. We have no things to leave behind, there will be no one awaiting us. The path we chose, the path we walk, it has no end, there's no return.
This litany you sing to me will bring you no relief. In my domain, you will not see the slightest gleam of truth.
We had the means; we had the time, now it is over, we crossed the line. I wish for nothing, there is no truth, there was just love, dismiss the fool.
You dare to question the god below, who gave you tears and eyes to cry?! Just keep on going, tasting the dirt, you'll have your lover, don't look behind. You worthless creatures, you wicked kin, how dare you breathe, how can you smile? You wish for nothing, but take it all, you find no truth, but forge your own.
Doomed as we are, haunted by fear and despair, tainted we are, reckless and wicked, but free.
But soon, too soon he turns his eyes. Again she falls in the dark depths, again she dies. No crime was his, if there's no crime to love. All alone, he makes his moan, and calls her ghost, this time, forever lost.
- Ecce Homo
It's getting late now, your seed has grown, if you were rising, you're getting small. You hoped you're special, one of a kind, once on your side, time's running out. Isn't it?
I'm done with searching, I did my time! Then why so fragile, so unkind? I'm through with running, I've settled down. Are there no things you left behind? You think you're better since you have seen abominations to match your sins. You'll set it all right and all you need is just more time to fetch your blade.
I'm through with fighting, an open wound, my flesh is tired, my blade got stained. But when it all comes down to dust, I'll kill you if I can, I'll help you if I must. Deceiver, if I am faithful then I'm unkind; as I was rising, you kept me warm, as I got special you made me crawl.
You fool, you have been told - you're mortal, you thought you're not. The bells are ringing, your seed is going to die.
It's been hard since I left the garden. I don't feel so good, but I'll be no coward. I'm not coming back, not even for the summer. I'm not shaking hands with my friendly wardens. Tell me that you'll miss me; tell me that you fought for me. Lie to me, that you'll miss me, fool me that you never left me.
- I Defy Absurdity
I defy absurdity, this relentless tyranny*
To breath, to walk, to love and to hope, to care, destroy, always wishing for more...
The senseless play you wrote - we play to your lunatic lines 'till you prevail.
The hopes we try to borrow, you drown in each tomorrow...
Your hollow game of faith... We play to your commandments as you say. To serve, to pay, to wait, to hope and fail, to breed, obey, to you, the snake biting its tail...
Mother, how could you do it?! When you knew it would hurt so much? Father, now have it - the worse of you, human to touch. You dare to call this freedom?! Please keep it for your kingdom! In the end, it is I feeding you.
I defy absurdity, this relentless tyranny*
- Unbearable Lightness of Guilt
Once I was a deceiver, crossing seas of my own, till I met this wretched sailor, who promised me to open the door.
In exchange, we asked for a favor: to put on a cross at dawn.
Elijah, why have you chosen me? I'm rather fond of man and love the sea. I do not want to see you drown - fishmongers will hide you deep and hunt me down. They'll praise you and then, they'll kill you and then, they'll eat you and then they'll drink you. They'll use you and then forget you.
Elijah, I hope you were right; you'll save mankind and meet your dad death... I'm begging you, before you leave, open that door and let me in.
If you do sell him now, yours is the prize - we'll forever remember your name, Judas Iscariot.
