A trial to defeat nature - Space and time

Time is, for some, so grim
Although all are in one grid
Systematic minds, whispers of sin
Dazed eyes, illusions within

Space and time
Are we all blind?
We're all given the same
Only some use it to gain

Time and space
We're mostly disgrace
A satisfied face
As he ruins a peaceful place

Time's draining to few
Like the breeze that blew
Sad to share a world with you
When losing is all you do

Minutes and minds go
An arena of friends and foes
And as the pendulum swings
Each singer will rise to sing
Each with a message to bring
Insecurely the masses act so frightening
When they all hide under a wing
Replacing their privilege as men with their comfort as things

Space and time
A race of minds
Some to re-define
compensated by ones who decline
They're standing in the line

Time and space
Some conquer with grace
Some register as a face
Sadly all are stuck in the same maze

A trial to defeat nature - Angel of death

Written by myself and Nariman Nofal

POEM
In a perfect light the darkest angel exists
Is he a villain?
In the fright he can't hear them insist
He'll keep on killing

On their deepest fear he feeds
Proffession's become a need
Judgement of the good sense to die
But why..?

He bears a burden on his head
The burden of the dead
He bears a key in hand
Hour glass is draining sand
 
He carries their burden on his head
One by one
No where to run
No escape now the time is set

Cyclones of chaos or peace
Never are there two who agree
I am the one caught in this cyclone
Not ready to meet my lord
Never thought of this inevitable day
Left to drown in my disdain
Regretting my unused time
With my brand new mind

Hour glass no longer in hand
My soul is now to be free
The angel's face right before me
"I am affable believe me"
It lightly stops for me
Peace in the cyclone as I've chosen my calm path
The angel's face right in front of me
I am ready to flee

A terrible fate is to be seen
The cyclone flames for he
He, the one who's shallow but whole
You think you're ready to fall
You think you're in control
Thankfully the angel's come in time to end it all
It's time for you to see the truth of your fake grace
Prepare for the torment awaiting after this place

The fate of the unknown
To hard to control the lifeless soul
"Take me home" is all he can say
Homeland he thinks is his destiny
But where could it be?
Too vague to see
A cyclone of chaos and peace none that he could flee
The angel strikes in this foggy site
"It is time to see"

The loser and the keeper
The sinner and the redeemer
The fortunate and the weeper
The stronger and the weaker
The useless and the seeker
The listeners and the speakers
The honest and the deciever
All are one in the eyes of the reaper
All sent under this dirt
Finally put to sleep from the hurt

A trial to defeat nature - A trial to defeat nature

Your pretentious waves of excellence
Ships go astray, wrecked in "accidents"

When you're excited you make us stay still
Camoflaged until the end of your thrill
We are ones who deserve no fear
Yet will never swim until the sea is clear
We fear what it might be
Yet we all await to be devoured by one
Leviathan at the bottom of the sea
Who are the demons?

Ones who'll never go with the flow
Or is it those dragged in the undertow?
Yet we are the most to know
Of the wise denied before
The tales have been told
That we are always at war
A glimpse of hope is to be seen
Anywhere in your sea of misery

Hiding under the waters of the seas
You enjoy blocking us, it seems
You are the ones who always mock
Yet you hear the waves crash into the rocks
Constantly escaping, you avoid change
Uncaged, untamed and we refuse to fade
You're standing deep in the endless haze
You think we are animals yet we can't be tamed

Your floods of dismay
Bodies on the shore won't decay
The brain will always defeat the fist
The bodies of our fathers at the surface
For us to see
For us to follow endlessly
You'll see that the drowned never fall
You'll see us all go to war

You strike your spears
You cower in fear
You'll hide behind your shields
But there is one weapon you do not wielx
You fight with your swords
We repel with our words
We always see the end, a light
We've already won this fight

Acid rain descends on our souls
This pain, it will never go away
All darkness, we've unleashed on our foes
Ashamed of the price we had to pay
To eradicate them, we were forced
Blamed by the ones who were here before
Stains of blood, never to be cleaned, land on our souls
Because a change brought by force is sure to repeat this all

A trial to defeat nature - Alive?

I can say what I want to
I just can't confront you
Flooding eyes, hellish dews
Wicked minds are all seduced

We all grow too slow
No time, too much to know
We..all die in just one blow
Does it matter where we go?

Alive?
Dead or out of our minds?
Goodbyes?
Laughs, sorrows or cries?

I?
Don't mind?
Out of time?
Are my eyes...?

Are my eyes gone?
Where have they gone?
Have I been holding on too tight?
Do my eyes see what's right?
Black..into black
Never alive, always in acts
Barriers ahead to break through
To see what is true

The blinded who see
You claimed their insanity
But there is more to get, more to know
A lot of regrets because life's "yes or no"
There is more lying in the night
There is more to see than sights
There is some to feel, true light
This is why I feel alright

A trial to defeat nature - Ghost lurking

The pendulum's swinging
The wind's singing
Listening inside of me
To what's whispering to me

Is this a ghost haunting me?
Am I but a host that can't see?
Only comes within my madness
Comes showing off my blackness

I can only see him when I don't look
He's in every page of this lonesome book
Letters written as if by two hands
Compelled by my hidden demands

Like a haunting ghost in my diaries
It's a shadow riding on my memories
In the light in lurks inside of me
I do not dare to defy me

Deprives me of my tongue
We must be one
Tells me to swim through blood
Relent's for none

This wretched thing sees a prison it must escape
I see only the many hearts it could break
I see a dawn of a great mistake
I see one decision I can't make

Stand in the light, split in two halves
Insanity in unity will drive me mad
This haunting is meant to be
Always comes, claiming to be me

Tried to split myself only to find I'm one
As I've always been, nowhere to run
I wish I was two
To know what to do

I see a demon I always seal
I see scars that will never heal
He sees the pain he could deal
I feel it all, so unreal

A ghost ripping all my diary
The ghost's draining on my sanity
Speaking with a voice of bane
I live in rivers of agony
I struggle always for serenity
As I speak with a voice of pain

A trial to defeat nature - Tombstone II

Place of abnormality
Not so ready for me

Death's touch
I'm strong enough
Must break a grave
Is there a way out of this maze?

I only hear one sound
Cries and sobs all around
They were not ready to part ways
If I die now, I'll never decay

All my loved ones
Still too stunned
My girl is sad
You don't wanna try her when she's mad

Tombstone
I understand you're all alone
But listen to their mourns
No choice but to return

Tombstone
Come too soon
Life is still mine
I'll be back at a right time

A place of fatality
Only to broken with immortality

Death's touch
Not strong enough
I'll break this grave
One way to escape the maze

To pass right through
Get back to you
Death can't decide my fate
I've been saving up all this hate

Saving up to take out at this moment
There will be no more torment
It's postponed
Left a lonely tombstone cold

You'll see a bursting tombstone
You'll hear the crushing of the reaper's bones
Thousand times slammed to the ground
I am back, safe and sound

A trial to defeat nature - Love

Passion stinging me
Can't break free
Needles and blades
I think I've gone insane

Memories of your deadly embrace
Damn, I love that pretty face
Scars and bruises
It's so amusing

Back and forth
No remorse
The bed is shaking
My heart is aching

I taste the blood as you pierce through my lips
On this battlefield, who will watch my six?
Someone who'll stick to the end
Sometimes wishing I was dead

Someone I need so bad
All these great times we had
She really didn't mean what she said
She can never live if I'm dead

We just really want it
Forgot to read the warnings
If you plan to stay
Then stay out of my way

A trial to defeat nature - محاولة

لدى الكل ذكريات
شر و خير و إختبارات
في بعض الأحيان
يتوقف بريق الألوان
عندما ننسى التسامح
يتبقى وجه دون ملامح

لقد أعطيت قلبي للغرام
رأيت ما بعد الأوهام
قالوا لي أن الوقت ما زال
و أن الحب سيأتي في أي حال
لكن لم يهمني تلك الأقوال
فهل أنا عبد للآمال؟

أعطيت عقلي للتفكير
فأخبروني أنني لست كبير
فهل تريدون شعب من الحمير؟
أنا أريد التغيير
رأيت عالم يستحق القتال
فهل أنا عبد للآمال؟

لن أترك نفسي في فراغ
لن أترك الحبائب في دمار
محاولة وراء محاولة
فهم يخافون من المحاولة
فالمفكر يذهب إلى المراوغة
و المحب يذهب إلى المقاومة

A trial to defeat nature - The underworld

Omnipotence
Their cursed presence
When a god is influenced by sin
We all tremble within
When gods are mere men
To the underworld all will be sent

Spirits lurk in the shadow
With nothing but dark to follow
Spirits scream in anguish
Each with an undone wish

Some remember the sword
Some remember the words
Some proud of their acts
Yet all await the bad

Here who rode Zeus' eagle
And ones who by a meal, were pleased
All are one in the eye of Hades
All trembling, so feeble

Nothing is fair
Those who fly in the air
Shall be eaten by the sins of hawks
Those who walk upon rocks
Shall be tortured by their silenced screams
Those who swim through the stream
On the surface or down
All eventually drown
Even the ones who've spent life assembling bricks
Will find no home in the river styx
Pain and anguish
Souls never replenish
