Omniscient Opponent - Poema Arcanus

All the freedom we want

He strives to make it impossible

And as we try to see colours,

He systematically stains everything black

A vicious circle that consumes life

As time runs fast, existence spills from our hands

Relentless process that never ends

Driving us to lose control of our lives

Feel the doom, embrace the antagonism

Fake freedom is our opium and death

Failure by failure, we feel them as steps

The old opponent knows and profits from them

The healer who provides the cure

Smiles in the darkness while the disease is born

We bear everyday, the weight of the engine

A crippled system that swallows life

Paying with blood, the price of existence

And the right to live our own agony

An infant painfully learning the rules

Hope slowly fades within a young naive soul

The puppet tracing plans for his route

Becomes the old man dying alone and poor

And as we try to open our eyes

Omniscient opponent kills the light
