Nam in dando recipimus In ignoscendo ignoscimur Et in moriendo ad vitam aeternam nascimur

The third track of footsteps down velvet dunes I chase the third side of the moon. In vain, oh, in vain, oh, eternity is two, But never three is union of fame. The fame chooses the one like you. And I am chosen by the fate. The fame chooses the one like you. And I am chosen by the fate. The three is sacred for the past Where Lord had fun with flesh and dust, Yet now is time for other ways to dwell and die. The three is sacred for the past Where Lord had fun with flesh and dust, Yet now is time for other ways to dwell and die. The three is sacred for the past, And now is time to dwell and die. Your mouth is crypt for the beautiful truth, My ravens pecked the letters out of rules. But still, yeah! Still, yeah!.. The freedom dooms To carry loads and bloom In flames. The fame chooses the one like you... The fame chooses the one like you, And I am chosen by the fate. I'm a crossroad, and you're straight Like road to Hell. I'm a crossroad, and you're straight Like road to Hell.

Now, it’s time to say goodbye To feelings in Holy Grail To heart that beats so slow and blind. And now, I whisper out your name But everything’s in vain — Nothing in me replies. Can’t you feel love is over. You see us reached the nowhere Finally, we have put ourselves In wastelands of your stars. Just take that it’s all over. Now I prefer the nowhere Finally, realized I cherish Wastelands of your stars. Can’t you feel love is over. You see us reached the nowhere Finally, we have put ourselves In wastelands of your stars. Can’t you feel love is over. You see us reached the nowhere Finally, we have put ourselves In wastelands of your stars. Just take that it’s all over. Now I prefer the nowhere Finally, realized I cherish Wastelands of your stars.

I keep my windows shut As tight as might As tight as might. I know that they will come To whisper riddles to my mind. This circle on the floor Of salt and chalk Protects me strong. Crystal melody Terrifies me. Pictures that I feel Turn into lyrics. Of blood and tears These words so clearly Are meant to be. The dead can speak, Undead can sing With voice of me. The air is growing cold Dark friends have come To my sweet home. Though I don't seek for friends They seem don't care And keep on telling. Of blood and tears These words so clearly Are meant to be. Crystal melody Terrifies me. Pictures that I feel Turn into lyrics. Of blood and tears These words so clearly Are meant to be. The dead can speak, Undead can sing With voice of me.

Cruel world won’t tear us apart, But your cruel words might break my poor heart. Cruel world won’t tear us apart, But your cruel words might break my poor heart. Can’t you see you’re a wizard of words, Can’t you see you’re a wizard of words… Can’t you feel your might is killing me, Oh, can’t you feel your might is killing me. Please, stay mercy with me, Please, stay mercy with me... As I’m made of dreams, As I’m made of dreams… And each of a sound I feel Like pain in real. And each of a sound I feel Like pain in real. Cruel world means nothing for us, But your wicked soul is owning my heart. Cruel world means nothing for us, But your swordy soul is owning my heart. Please, stay mercy with me, Please, stay mercy with me... As I’m made of dreams, As I’m made of dreams… And each of a sound I feel Like pain in real. And each of a sound I feel Like pain in real.

Thy Lord 04:36
In the Years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth, Man mastered the mammoth and horse, and Man was the Lord of the Earth. He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the lightning for hire; He drove the celestial team, and man was the Lord of the Fire. Till the high gods witness at length that Man is the Lord of his spirit.

I’m looking for another state of mind, I’m looking for another state of mind, I’m looking for another state of mind, I’m looking for another state of mind. Wonder until you wanted, Wanted until you wonder it. Wonder until you wanted, Wanted until you wonder it. One day into the waters. One day into your borders One day until you wanted, One day until you wonder it. It’s the way you make me feel, It’s the way you let me see. It’s the way you make me feel, It’s the way you let me be. Let me be, let me be. I’m looking for another state of mind, I’m looking for another state of mind, I’m looking for another state of mind, I’m looking for another state of mind. Quite simple to erase and breath, I wonder why you know. It’s quite simple to live the dream. Tell me why, tell me why you do. It’s the way you make me feel, It’s the way you let me see. It’s the way you make me feel, It’s the way you let me be. Make me feel. It’s the way you make me feel, It’s the way you let me see. It’s the way you make me feel, It’s the way you let me be. Make me feel. Quite simple to, Quite simple.

Look, how nice these wooden tears On pretty wooden face are. Look how well you put a spell Of masterpiece for work of carpenter. Your ancestors of the royal blood Impoverished, but proud Bequeathed two mules and quiet life Among the secure walls of pride. You gave your everything to the one That one is never yours. Dove-eyed, so light Belongs to God Forever and beyond. You sacrificed your only life To a son and a wife Of some divine. Despising graves, Yet you remain In shadow of the saints. Oh, your heart of flesh and blood Was longing for the mysteries. Too much for one, for you enough To carry through the centuries. You gave your everything to the one That one is never yours. Dove-eyed, so light Belongs to God Forever and beyond. You sacrificed your only life To a son and a wife Of some divine. Despising graves, Yet you remain In shadow of the saints.

Nevershare 04:47
Gonna gechya in a half an hour you and your soul, Gonna get all what you conceal, hate and adore. And I never share my property with anybody else. Just remember that I never share, never share, never share. Greedy and dangerous, My soul is so contagious You're way venturous To stay right here. These toxic vibes Will make you mine. Like art, you're fine In a gallery of mine. Wanna catch all these moments of my glory and joy, Way too strange that your moving straight toward to destroy. You're mine and I have mercy to share with no one else. You remember that I never share, never share, nave share. Evil and dangerous, My heart is so rapturous To swallow yours, venturous — Just stay right here. These toxic vibes Will make you mine. I'm evil and dangerous, My blood’s so contagious, My heart is traitorous, I'm following you. Way too lecherous, Lacking adventures, Seem so apterous, I'm following you… I'm following you.... I'm following you.

I live on the streets, I’m a lonely city wolf. I dream about the rest in place I’ve never told about. I don’t want to see anyone who’s still alive. Me and the night, my true wife We’ve got a baby sure still knife My life is real platonic suicide I need the night, I need neon lights My life is real platonic suicide And I’m still alive. I live out of time like a silly little boy. I look for some innocent game or a lovely toy. I don’t wanna hear anything about my being out. My wife the night and son the knife Make me stay alive. My life is real platonic suicide I need the night, I need neon lights My life is real platonic suicide And I’m still alive. My life is real platonic suicide I need the night, I need neon lights My life is real platonic suicide And I’m still alive.

Naïve 04:35
So many words were bursting out Of countless left unsaid. Observe the promised flatland now We've reached with silent kept. I hear the creak of gates — No clue where lead our ways, As all we saw above Grows from below. Award of billion Not less than maximum The trick's naive, But you believe Each motion is foreseen. Award of billion Not less than maximum The trick's naive, But you believe Each motion is foreseen. The huge effort burnt out the trail Pain ate away at hope. The more we'd tried the more we failed — Ain't blood but lightness works. I hear the creak of gates — No clue where lead our ways, As all we saw above Grows from below. Award of billion Not less than maximum The trick's naive, But you believe Each motion is foreseen. Award of billion Not less than maximum The trick's naive, But you believe Each motion is foreseen. The cost of trivia — Path to oblivion. Just your beliefs Against the grief — The ground you're standing on. What’s worth a billion? Is this a maximum? Where you’ll be led? Can you neglect? Will you regret? Award of billion Not less than maximum The trick's naive, But you believe Each motion is foreseen. Award of billion Not less than maximum The trick's naive, But you believe Each motion is foreseen.

about

Love, faith, trust and devotion.
Is there a price for giving everything you’ve got to the ones you love? Can rumors and public opinion do anything to your devotion if your faith is strong? Can you be a loving father and a husband knowing that you are not chosen for the fame divine and staying in the shadow of the saints is your fate? And is every move forseen or the man is the lord of everything? And can you overcome all the grief and despair armed with love only?
Inspired by the story of St. Joseph, the earthly father and husband.
