lyrics

The beauty that lies In chasing a dream Is not salvageable When its end is not what it seemed Here, the aftermath Of my tragic path Only now do I understand How hubris had corrupted my head I chose to ignore To see nothing more Than that vain, delusional dream My claim to fame as a self-proclaimed king Cycles of longing and grief Of surging hopes and broken dreams Fate is truly nothing but A collection of endings and origins As I look around Hoping to be found I see dozens of creatures like me Surfacing from other colonies I had deceived myself I wasn’t above the rest I was not chosen, I was just a farce Just another soldier in the march The air up here is too strong Too fierce to tame I feel like I’m going to be split in half Head moves too fast I don’t feel well All’s just too massive to fathom Cycles of longing and grief Of surging hopes and broken dreams Fate is truly nothing but A collection of endings and origins I can’t be here any longer I must run back The tunnel’s breach is still open I crash, tumbling down Break all my limbs Back in the vale I lay, mangled Lying here alone Paralyzed and cold At the frozen core Can’t move anymore That totem I’d seen Vanished, it would seem Sunken below ground Left its place for me Somehow, I knew straight away I just chose not to believe That the statue was the corpse of an Ant One that had attempted the same as me Here is this journey’s last stop I’ll soon turn into a corpse I’m now the ending and the origin The one to greet the next self-proclaimed king

lyrics
buy track
“Light… Is this light That meets my frozen eyes? Come, shine upon me If only for a short while…” At the center of this pit Time stands still How long has it been Since that vain adventure? Broken limbs / frost-shut eyes Tattered soul / night eternal No future / no past Perennial / insignificant Dear spectator Behold what has become Of the poor awakened soul Who sought to be known by all Until the cycle begins anew…

about

A sorrowful reprise to the story of Soldier, the humanized ant who tragically sought to be known by all.

These two songs were arranged by Maria Ana Guimarães and showcase her phenomenal talents on the Piano.
