Lyrics:

I pray for the light
Which disappears from the surface of this world
Black phlegm begins to macerate
Suffuses more and more, a toxic deadly shore

But I can't quit this poison
I am an addicted person
I close my eyes and let it pour

I never see a reason
I'll never be okay
Devour light like brandy
It's getting heavier to take

I fight all my demons at once again

But I cannot tame
The pressure in my lungs
Am I the one to abandon the throne?
No water for the flames
Always ending up the same
This searing fever

I am caught in the middle
Feel the heat and the shiver
Take it all till the last drop
Let it pour in these veins
I can feel every moment
Every grain, every second

I will dive again in blackened water

I dive again in unknown water

No!
I choke on blackened water
Wells out of my sewn up mouth
I can't breathe, I can't see
Disrupt this entity

Oh!

And I caught myself being down on my knees
Praying for peace
To something I know, it doesn't exist

Lost in skewed cogitation
A billion combinations
There's no solution for an incomplete equation

Will you be my unknown?

But I cannot tame
The pressure in my lungs
Am I the one to abandon the throne?
No water for the flames
Always ending up the same
This searing fever
