Stage IV: Despair

from 1968: A L'uomo Strano Soundtrack by AntiFrantik

lyrics

Glass is shattering, everything seems to have unravelled
Into oblivion, farthest distance I've ever travelled
Brothers pleading for mercy after the hellish battles

How do I soldier on, all momentum's not in our favour
Haemoglobin on my tongue making a taste to savour
Taking control of all my thoughts, writing 'em down on paper

All my heroes have fallen; wondering should I follow
Or should I continue on this journey, chest cavity hollow
Taking advantage of today because there's no tomorrow

Smile upon my face; humour has desecrated me
Just a spectacle most of the time you'd pay to see
For who I am right now's certainly not the way to be

Looking right into the camera
Eyes burning, bearing the teeth, overcome with the grief
All 'cause now you're realizing what is in motion in not a plan for ya
Definition of peace shaky at least, but I'll carry ya
Shouldering the globe on my back, I'm Atlas
Nevertheless the Shepherd's gone and I can't get past it
To me the world's heartless
So full of great darkness
But everywhere I go I'm hearing it's so fantastic
I investigate my origins stemming from myth
Harrowing exegesis keeps me from being elitist
But everyday I question "What am I getting from this?"
All power has bee ceded and soon I'll be defeated
I'm specializing in capturing things I never needed
It's an insatiable hunger, my friend, you need to feed it
But now the bowl's empty
Resources once aplenty
I watch the suffering, emotions at once depleted
