2. What stalking fate!

Swimming in the midst of stalking fate
It has no form
It is not a joy, like that



3. My only friend

Anynow
we cannot meet again
I like to be alone
in the same place
as always
Always
embracing tightly
that one who has no place
where he can always be calm
That one is my only friend again
Ah, Ah
This will suffice
Nothing, No one, Is there
The same as always
Pitch black again



4. The born one

Within chaos
of slightly different meaning
I go away
We who have been born
with no fear
afraid of nothing....



6. Not beginning

This meeting
This meeting
that must have been arrange
Not beginning
Because you are chained by your meeting
Ah, Your hurt
if you put it completely inside me
it will be insignificant



7. Become One

Nothingness, nothingness
It may be best
To disappear utterly
Everything apart from me
Everything apart from me
Everything
If you say you won't disappear
I (too) will disappear
Ah, only then, only then
Are you not accomplices
Everything become one
Everything become one
Everything become one
and disappear utterly



8. You who will in now way I who can in no way

Swimming
You who will in no way
You who will in no way
I who can in no way



10. The curse that accepted affirmation

There is no There is no Proof
Nowhere is there Proof that there is nothing
Everything just accepts the here and now
If you say that there is nothing
Who is here Who is here
Try to make me disappear
Even when it becomes like this
Even when it becomes like this, still
Even when it becomes like this, still
You won't understand
You won't understand anything
All I want is just you



10. Good night

Good night, Good night
If you opened your eyes, Now is all
Good night, Good night
If you opened your eyes
Maybe you wouldn't be human
Good night, Good night
All does not change
