The battle inside me
(To the soul of Charles Baudelaire)
A battle ignites inside my chest
O my heart ..you can`t take a rest
eternal wars don`t stop
my brain is fainting ...I can`t do my best
Demon said "no" to the God
"fire is better than clay and mud"
seeds of hatred grew into forests of blood
angels .. try to save my castles ...that`s too hard !
the non-stop battle is flaming everywhere
my heart is bleeding ..my soul is wounded
I`m trapped from here and there
but my dear friend demon ..I have the hope to win
although my tears and wounds
although my fears ....
angels inside my heart will rise again
your hatred will burn you
that clay is better than you
