[VERSE 1]
It's carried from the deep
It rooted to the ground
It has grown and feeds us
We aren't alone
We want to starve no more
It's carried from nowhere
It changes everything
It feeds and also kills us
We aren't alone
We wont to be the meal
[CHORUS]
Feed us again
Maybe for the last time please
You grown enough to live
To live without us
Feed us again
Maybe for the last time
You are the benefactor
You are a parasite
[VERSE 2]
It's carried by the wind
It's rooted to our flesh
It is growing everyday
We aren't alone
We will not raise it more
It's carried from the chasm
It changed everyone
It feeds and also kills us
We aren't alone
We're just a nutriment
[CHORUS]
Feed us again
Maybe for the last time please
You grown enough to live
To live without us
Feed us again
Maybe for the last time
You are the benefactor
You are a parasite
[VERSE 1]
In the black black water
In the silence of darkness
In the eye of the watcher
In the whisper of madness
[PRE-CHORUS]
I have told you forever
gonna chase you
hunt you told you forever
gonna chase you
[CHORUS]
Dip in the black water
Dip in the darkness
Leave weak and mortal
Body in sadness
Dip in the black water
Dip in the darkness
Leave weak and mortal
Body in sadness
[VERSE 2]
On the black black ground
On the palm of your sadness
On the top of the mount
On the soil of madness
[PRE-CHORUS]
I have told you forever
gonna chase you
hunt you told you forever
gonna chase you
[CHORUS]
Dip in the black water
Dip in the darkness
Leave weak and mortal
Body in sadness
Instead of floating
In the black water
You crushed the darkness
Body and sadness
[PRE-CHORUS]
I have told you forever
gonna chase you
hunt you told you forever
gonna chase you
[CHORUS]
Dip in the black water
Dip in the darkness
Leave weak and mortal
Body in sadness
Dip in the black water
Dip in the darkness
Leave weak and mortal
Body in sadness
[CHORUS]
Dip in the black water
Dip in the darkness
Smashed all the mortal
Body in sadness
Dip in the black water
Dip in the darkness
Smashed all the mortal
Body in sadness
[CHORUS]
Sleeper on a sleepy river
Clouds above you growing bigger
Sleeper close your eyes
Point the finger to the skies
Sleeper on a sleepy river
Clouds becoming deeper 'n deeper
Can you open both your eyes?
Can you pierce through the skies?
[VERSE 1]
Can you see the clouds they're
Floating in the pale sky
Than you feel your body and mind
Leave the ground
Rise and go up high
Over the earth
Can you feel the river
Bringing you deeper
[PRE-CHORUS]
Wait for a while
Take a deep breath. Exhale. Make sure
Are you alive?
Breathing out out out no more
[CHORUS]
Sleeper on a sleepy river
Clouds above you growing bigger
Sleeper close your eyes
Point the finger to the skies
Sleeper on a sleepy river
Clouds becoming deeper 'n deeper
Can you open both eyes?
Can you pierce through the skies?
[VERSE 2]
Heaven's like a mount of air
Now you are everywhere
Empty silence fulfilled with noise
Are you getting worse?
What a wonderful air you breath
You feel clean and fast
Feel the ice running through your veins
Maybe you are insane
[PRE-CHORUS]
Wait for a while
Take a deep breath. Exhale. Make sure
Are you alive?
Breathing out out out no more
[CHORUS]
Sleeper on a sleepy river
Clouds above you growing bigger
Sleeper close your eyes
Point the finger to the skies
Sleeper on a sleepy river
Clouds becoming deeper 'n deeper
Can you open both your eyes?
Can you pierce through the skies?
[BRIDGE]
Hollow, empty space, endless ethereal
Universe expanding into fractal waters
Cyan storm and thunder to be calm again
[PRE-CHORUS]
Wait for a while
Take a deep breath. Exhale. Make sure
Are you alive?
Breathing out out out no more
[CHORUS]
Sleeper on a sleepy river
Clouds above you growing bigger
Sleeper close your eyes
Point the finger to the skies
Sleeper on a sleepy river
Clouds becoming deeper 'n deeper
Can you open both your eyes?
Can you pierce through the skies?

Black water weird orchestra
You had everything you needed. Before one day, you discovered a special seed that would grow into a plant that could give you more. You planted the seed and watched as it grew into a beautiful plant. However, as time passed, the plant was growing at an alarming rate and was conquering your land, consuming your lives, turning you into it’s resources, leaving devastation in their wake. You have been caught in a cycle of self-reproduction and self-destruction. And even then not everyone realized that the benefactor turned out to be a dangerous parasite. The only sense it knew was endless hunger and thirst for power. It is deeply ingrained in you, inciting hatred and perpetuating division. In its relentless growth, wars and violence transform you, turning you into instruments of destruction and suffering. And when the parasite had almost win, you finally discovered its root. Let this be the last time you feed this monster. And you plucked the root out, skinning the palms of your hands in blood. It rolled down the hillside and fell into the river. You watched in despair as the water turned black. Now this river is cursed.
You cautiously walked to the water's edge and looked down. The world was no longer the same place it had been just moments before. It was as if time had turned back, and you was frozen in the darkness and sadness. The only sound you could hear was the beating of your own heart, echoing in your ears. You stared into the water and saw all the horrors that plagued humanity. You knew there was something out there, deep down, watching you. Pushing you. It was like a whisper of madness in your mind, urging you to dip into the black water. And so, you did. you left your weak and mortal body behind and entered a new realm, a world of madness. The madness whispered of the atrocities committed, the lives shattered, and the spirits crushed by the relentless pursuit of power and dominance. And at that moment you realized you was caught. The depths of the dark water began to seem comfortable and attractive. you was sinking so fast that you hit the bottom. you had crushed your weak body. The darkness and sadness were overwhelming, and you felt like you would never escape. With the last of your strength, you was able to push yourself off the bottom and float to the top. You left black water but it changed me forever, putting a seed of cruelty and hatred deep inside. It would haunt you forever.
Out of the water you lay on the bank of the river, watching the clouds above you grow larger and deeper in the pale sky. You closed your eyes, wondering if you could reach higher and break through the clouds, which floated free while your body and mind were caged in the here and now. You had to take several deep breaths to see if you was alive. But how could you be sure you wasn't insane? You felt lost in the hollow empty space of your mind. The endless ethereal universe was expanding around. In that brief moment of peace, it seemed that there was no chaos, no violence, no war in the world, and never had been. And then they came again. Like a cyan storm. You took shelter from the storm in its shadow, for only the shadow of the storm can save. The thunder shook you out of your trance state disrupted the peace and tranquility you long for. As you open your eyes, you see the river flowing beside. It was waiting for you to enter its water again. You stand up and walk away, feeling lost and broken. It serves as a reminder of how hard it is to find moments of calm and inner peace among the uncertainty of life.
You knew that once dipped into the darkness, at any moment you could fall for its persuasion again, listen to the whispers of madness, dive into the black water. And then nothing would save me.
We are all cursed.

From the very deep of devastated abandoned land I came. This, what is lying on my palms brown of desert Sun – this is my
tale. A tale of years I lived, a tale of lands I crossed. A tale of pain I took. A tale of suffer I felt. A tale of loneliness that broke me. You probably skip this. I know. But I have to speak....more
