When heaven hates the earth

When heaven hates the earth, when seas contempt the land,
And world of lies explodes within my bleeding hand
When stars all swept away out in the solar breeze
Colliding universe that’s put down on its knees

The dying insects flow all over azure lake
The living is a dream, the one we cannot wake
Existence ceased before the life itself begun
The brazen hoop of child and golden thread are gone

And there we twist and turn as history repeats
No lessons to be learnt, no answer to our needs
The beauty hides the foe, the pity calls for two
You join this bright absurd – there’s nothing else to do

We’ll bear this wintertime for all our hopeless days
Being waiting the unknown but pendulums won’t sway
Wearing the gown of night to hide from sickest light
We’ll pray for deepest sleep – a crumb of poor delight

None’s dull beholding eye would cherish what it sees
None’s mind would turn up here – those are for our tears
Vile cradles of descend absorb us from the birth
As every god betrays and heaven hates the earth
