Cruel night

Eyes open, surrounded by darkness
How much longer can I hold on

Fighting off the son of Hypnos
Losing and making way for Thanatos

This paradoxical imagination
Shows me the blood and this scene over and over
The actors change, the emotions stay the same
In the morning, the faces that make the front page
Is it through my sleep that I see this reality?

Immobile spectator or clairvoyant?

Is it through my sleep that I bring about this cruelty?
That I kill these innocent people?
Or is that the time when my mind travels through the obscurity
To inhabit another body with no soul?
Cruel night, will I forever be your prisoner
Or will I find the strength to change my own future?
Open eyes, the light of a new day
My mind is still filled with the night
I can still see the blood, the frightened face
And the outline of my body imprinted on my bed
This paradoxical imagination
Showed me the blood and this scene over and over
The actors change, the emotions stay the same
In the morning, the faces that make the front page
Is it through my sleep that I see this reality?
Immobile spectator or clairvoyant?
Is it through my sleep that I bring about this cruelty?
That I kill these innocent people?
Or is that the time when my mind travels through the obscurity
To inhabit another body with no soul?
Cruel night, will I forever be your prisoner
Or will I find the strength to change my own future?
Next night, without hesitation
The blood will come to my own mutilation
Sole actress in this final scene
And in the morning, no faces on the front page
I am ready to break the ritual
To offer my life to the darkness in exchange for yours
To end to this cruel suffering
It is time to say good-bye
