THE AGONIST - Martyr Art (Album Track). Taken from the album, 'Lullabies For The Dormant Mind', Century Media Records, 2009. smarturl.it/ago... | www.itunes.com/...
Awaken, as from a tormented sleep With eyes anxiously looking to creep beyond this Twisted dementia displayed on the walls Mysterious mindsets and ink-droplets fall Muses take flight in an all out war Shall I catch with open hand? Or let it fall and start again? Such words burn the skin So, enter stage right, might in hand Before the micro-cosm, stand Display my efforts, after all Don't expect them recognized Hourly torture, chaos ignite! Beauty and art give a sign of life But, as Balzac and Hardy profess The martyr will burn for her canvas Elusive horizon, I'm not a threat You see, I'm for some reason always on trial Object of detestation, always on trail O, Solitude! With thee I dwell! With thee I dwell in our assiduous, gated hell Trivial, this mind and spirit world You can't compare their worth to what is real At its best, all the critics must confess This work can outlive death, so what is real? Because I can't describe Half the shit I feel inside your crimes Targeted intent eviscerating innocence I swear I'm not a threat Put down your defense I swear I'm not at all All I can do is watch in awe Feet raking the sand Hands bound by molten ire As the broad guillotine blade Sinks into the horizon Streams of burning gold burst forth From ultramarine Expansive veins and reach towards me Lending heat to the air As the Earth is sliced in half And the dividing line approaches For every stage turned wonderland For every sound turned song For every song turned experience For every hour drawn long Accablées de misère en décembre Les muses se baignent en flammes Noyées dans l'ombre elles disparaissent Attendant le divin peintre de l'Univers, le Soleil [English translation: "Overwhelmed with misery in December The Muses bathe in flames Drowned in the shade they disappear Waiting for the divine painter of the Universe, the Sun"]
One of their best songs. Love the clean parts =) Alissa is just awesome.
What a brilliant album.
Awaken, as from a tormented sleep
With eyes anxiously looking to creep beyond this
Twisted dementia displayed on the walls
Mysterious mindsets and ink-droplets fall
Muses take flight in an all out war
Shall I catch with open hand?
Or let it fall and start again?
Such words burn the skin
So, enter stage right, might in hand
Before the micro-cosm, stand
Display my efforts, after all
Don't expect them recognized
Hourly torture, chaos ignite!
Beauty and art give a sign of life
But, as Balzac and Hardy profess
The martyr will burn for her canvas
Elusive horizon, I'm not a threat
You see, I'm for some reason always on trial
Object of detestation, always on trail
O, Solitude! With thee I dwell!
With thee I dwell in our assiduous, gated hell
Trivial, this mind and spirit world
You can't compare their worth to what is real
At its best, all the critics must confess
This work can outlive death, so what is real?
Because I can't describe
Half the shit I feel inside your crimes
Targeted intent eviscerating innocence
I swear I'm not a threat
Put down your defense
I swear I'm not at all
All I can do is watch in awe
Feet raking the sand
Hands bound by molten ire
As the broad guillotine blade
Sinks into the horizon
Streams of burning gold burst forth
From ultramarine
Expansive veins and reach towards me
Lending heat to the air
As the Earth is sliced in half
And the dividing line approaches
For every stage turned wonderland
For every sound turned song
For every song turned experience
For every hour drawn long
Accablées de misère en décembre
Les muses se baignent en flammes
Noyées dans l'ombre elles disparaissent
Attendant le divin peintre de l'Univers, le Soleil
[English translation:
"Overwhelmed with misery in December
The Muses bathe in flames
Drowned in the shade they disappear
Waiting for the divine painter of the Universe, the Sun"]
