I. IMPASSE OF THOUGHTSI can't see youI can't hear youDo you still exist?I can't feel you, I can't touch you,Do you exist?The Phantom AgonyI can't taste you, I can't think of you,Do we exist at all?I. BETWEEN HOPE AND DESPAIRThe future doesn't passAnd the past won't overtake the presentAll that remains is an obsolete illusionWe are afraid of all the things that could not beA phantom agonyDo we dream at nightOr do we share the same old fantasy?I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreamsWe are afraid of all the things that could not beA phantom agonyTears of unprecedented beautyReveal the truth of existenceWe're all sadistsThe age-old development of consciousnessDrives us away from the essence of lifeWe meditate too much,so that our instincts will fade awayThey fade awayWhat's the point of lifeAnd what's the meaning if we all die in the end?Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?We are afraid of all the things that could not beA phantom agonyTears of unprecedented beautyReveal the truth of existenceWe're all pessimistsThe age-old development of consciousnessDrives us away from the essence of lifeWe meditate too much,so that our instincts will fade awayThey fade awayTeach me how to see and free the disbelief in meWhat we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony...A te spiritus noster devoratur et nostra anima capiturIII. NEVERMOREThe lucidity of my mind has been revealed in new dreamsI am able to travel where my heart goesIn search of self-realisationThis is the way to escape from our agitationAnd develop ourselvesUse your illusion and enter my dream...
