The Key

You'd wish you were blind
To never see what lays behind
Deaf, to never hear those cries of doom
Ignorant of why fate is so cruel.

You'd wish you were numb
To never feel the pain inside
To never feel the blows of life
But I know for sure it can't be done
And you know.

Any light dazzles me
And any sound deafens me
And touch makes my skin shudder
Please help me master
I know you are near
Your presence encourages me.

I feel that I'm weaker by every instant
The vicious circles surround me
I'm reaching the bottom
I long for the surface
You told me the key is on fire
It burns your soul with true fire.

Here before me
The bleak land I see
I!
Victimized by myself.

Tell me master, once come to this point
What can I do? Where to go now?
You always said that everything has a meaning
But it isn't visible in this void.

I feel fate is too cruel, too cruel with me
It doesn't show any doorway
If I can't fulfil my wish, why am I here?
Tell me now where this road leads
I'm tired of this suffering.

Will you hear me?

Open your eyes
Your soul, your body and your mind
For the suffering is only inside
It's the fire where your longed-for key hides.

Just look forward
At your doomed reflection in this land
And don't avoid a painful slash
For the scratches reveal the fire inside
Where your key hides.

My fire shows
I can feel it strongly
Darkness is around when I look at it
I'm putting my hand into the flame
The pain goes beyond all known.

I feel that I'm falling into a bottomless pit
I feel that my being transforms, on fire
The old burned
I sprout as a new fireproof soul
My key now opens all the doors.

An old phase is out
New ways all around
I must feel proud
My essence is stout.

Hear me, son
Though you reach the limits of your soul
You must know there is always a door
That can be opened by that key of yours.

Just take your own
Burn the stages and open your doors
Feel how the fear is all gone
You have found the best treasure of all:
The key.
