"Face My Face" from upcoming album Tenet Opera Rotas
Written by John Copperboots (Przemek Nowak)
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
A shadow walks, alone and free,
From mist it drifts, no eyes to see.
No one asks from where it came,
No voice calls out, no light, no name.
Verse 2:
To my own grave, I lead my way,
Through shadows thick, no light of day.
With bitter taste, I drink my pain,
For poets, lost, must rise again.
Chorus:
So let me drink, a final breath,
To stain the sense of mourning’s depth.
For poets live where shadows gleam,
Their words, alive, a burning dream.
Verse 3:
Where’s my gallows, end, or mark?
Who sows salt on hands gone dark?
My world has crumbled, dust and trace,
In mirrored eyes, I face my face.
Verse 4:
Who stands there, cold within the glass,
Reflects my fear, my questions ask.
I’m an island lost in night,
No voice to soothe, no end in sight.
Chorus:
So let me drink, a final breath,
To stain the sense of mourning’s depth.
For poets live where shadows gleam,
Their words, alive, a burning dream.
Verse 5:
I write you, verse, in letters stark,
Each line a sign, each word a mark.
In death, the echoes of stars fade,
As darkness calls, and I am swayed.
Verse 6:
In silence deep, I close my cage,
With fragments from a bygone age.
I hear the words in whispers shout,
As night drives quiet nails throughout.
Outro:
Death, a pause within my fate,
Ends my line, my voice abate.
Immortality brief and small,
But verse will rise, in dust, in all.
