The Others & the Look - Vreid

Buried alive in a world of disappear

This grey maze shadows my sight

A self made coffin buried by dread

An overwhelming angst fills my head

Captivated by the presence of others

I aim at them to mirror my thoughts

To reflect and share my visions

I am something, without them I am not

From the shadows I watch and observe them

Living my hunger through their lives

Every move directed with caution

Let them see through me, but never inside

I wander through the shadows

Naked by the guilt in their eyes

The eyes reflect my sadness

Shall I seek their forgiveness

How great it would be

To release all sorrows, to set my soul free

I lit the fire

My world burns today

Tomorrow is of redemption

With ashes I wash it all away

There is no reek of sulphur

No overwhelming heat

I see no malignant maestro

I have no sense of defeat

A mental purification

Shape shifting transformation

A blur has been removed from my sight

With the ashes I rise

Liberated by the will to power

I seek no reflection of my thoughts

I have a crystallized vision

I am nothing, without them I am all
