The sadness of the raven

Here I stand against the sky - ready to take flight
feeling white as light inside - while the black is out
Here I stand in front of the sun - ready to sink down
feeling warm as flame inside - while the cold is out
I can recall when I was bright, the beauty was the same of snow
I can recall my heart not torn, my wings so strong
but now it’s like a spell
Conclusion - illusion
I spread to the sky with sadness in my eyes
trying to reach the mountains, but I forecast the mighty storm
Conclusion – illusion
My eye has sight upon time……ready to take flight
feeling white as light inside - while the black is out
I can recall when I was young, the morning dawn as my kingdom come
I can recall my soul not torn, my will so strong
but now how foreign am I ?
Conclusion - illusion
I spread to the sky with sadness in my eyes
trying to reach the mountains, but I forecast the mighty storm
Conclusion - illusion
My eye has sight upon time
Bearing this curse of mine
I align to my second sight I received for my sin
together with this black veil, with this black pain, with this black fate
Conlusion: illusion

City lights arising and I wake up
I begin to walk in the human tide
Can’t remember where I’m from – where am I
Don’t know even how to talk – how to recognize
Desert dark inside me it’s all I have
While I feel surrounded by passing crowd
Can’t remember where I failed – where’s the fault
Don’t know even what is to repair – how to apologize
Feel my mind is burning, will I ever learn again?
Memories are trapped in walls, without any way to set them free
They align like summer ghosts, without any way to set them free
Feel my mind is burning
Will I ever learn again (to comunicate)?
City lights are pulsing with messy toungues
Desert dark behind me it’s all I lust
Can’t remember what I made of – what am I
Don’t know even how to solve – this riddle of mine
Memories are trapped in walls, without any way to set them free
They align like summer ghosts, without any way to set them free – set me free
believe me it’s hard - discerning all lies
from a truth set aside
when deception is your mind
believe me it’s hard - disclaiming all the lies
for a truth left behind
when the lag is your mind
I walk alone – I grow alone
I dream alone, again, the lights of the city

Wake up, wake up - the Sun is high enough to start it…
Wake up, wake up - the Moon is not enough far from here
Wake up, wake up and stand
I think I said enough this time - I think I saw it all the kind
I only want to go away - Only take the tide and sail
I think I heard enough this time - I think I tried it all the kind
I only want to make my day
Well I used them all
the colors of my box - of life - this life
upon this canvas white - with all the faith I held high in my hand
I think I heard enough this time - I think I tried it all the kind
I only want to make my day
I have seen them all the colors of my life - in time
Wake up, wake up - the Sun is high enough to start it…
Wake up, wake up - the Moon is not enough far from here
Wake up, wake up
Every moment, every hour, every season, every night awake
Every fall, every rising, every joy tear, every grain of pain
Every grass blade, every rain drop, every sweet caress, every loneliness
Every frame, every drawing, every pencil of my colorbox.

Ride the tempest

You’re so high, you’re in flight, flight into the tempest
You’re a leaf, you’re a wing, try to ride the tempest
You’re so high, you’re in flight, hanging from a lightning
You’re a leaf, you’re a wing, try to ride the lightning
Waterfall. Dream is on. Earth is gone
Waiting for the wake of awareness - waiting for…
Feel the fall, overcome, powers gone
Try to take control, take control of the direction - trying to…
rain will fall, dark is on, hope is gone - maybe
molten clouds gather on, thunder roars in the distance
you are so high you are - you are in flight you are…
you seem so young - you are so old, inside
you are so high you are - you are in flight you are…
you seem so young - you are so old, inside
Bones are bent over, souls are broken
blood is spilled, what am I doing here?
Seas have dried up, skies are starless
Streets are strange, what am I doing here?
Cities are crumbling, bridges are burning
The agreement was broken, what are we doing here?
hating each other, eating each other
hell opens up, what have we done here?
The stage is lone and dark - people you know are gone
Upon you wear a mark - it marks you to the bone
There is no screen no ark - people they all have lied
indeed you are the mark - you mark your life above
Waterfall. Dream is on. Earth is gone
Feel the fall, overcome, powers gone
Try to take control, take control of the direction - trying to…
Near is the end, near is the bend – over… over…
Try to ride the tempest, try to see the stars
Hanging from a lightning, have been pushed too far
no more directions now, here comes the end

Absolution trial
07:36

|

|
Love - forgive me, absolve me Life - sentence me, punish me
Love - forgive me, absolve me Life - forgive me and love me more
Blind and loser, guilty liar - heart composer, mind on fire
true impostor, falsely honest - serious sinner, fast repented
Everything that your hands touch
Everything it turns to dust
Every flower putrefies
Every dream, a nightmare rise
You are the source of your troubles
I’m the mirror I’m the jury - and judge
wherever you lay your eyes
however there is to fight
whoever you think you wanna be
You are your personal enemy
as the saviour so the hangman, you are
so as the moon is not too far
it takes one step only, to begin the path of growth
so if the mirror does not lie, you may try to accept it
knowledge from a single seed
Here I stand against the sky - ready to take flight
feeling white as light inside - while the black is out
Here I stand in front of the sun - ready to sink down
feeling warm as flame inside - while the cold is out

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun
supported by 31 fans who also own “The leaf and the wing”
Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10.
