Born out of nothingness, defined by beauty and patience
A tortured existence which leaves behind no answers
Destined to suffer the struggleCursed to be one of them, to be both of them

Fatima Rusalka

(Somewhere between the chaos and the void)
(In a desert that predates time itself)
(Bereft of stars and untouched by the Gods of man)
(There was only one, there was only her...)

Black echoes deafening silence
(She is born!)
Spat upon the tortured earth
(All alone!)
Cursed to never live!
(Scarlet fiend...)
Cursed to never die!
(...condemned to breathe eternally)
Thirsting for an answer
Starving for her purpose
But the sky holds his tongue
As she waits for the end
(...and it′s not looking good at all!)

An anguished melody...
Reveals to me a memory
Of love once lost
A quiet affliction, a moment of weakness
(Breathe and shut your eyes!)
Finally, it all makes sense so naturally
I am lost...
When angels and devils make sense of the wreckage
Unsung heroine! Death won't set you free!

(Fatima...)

Cautiously, I
Softly fake a smile
It′s cold here at night

I'm trying to hide, dying to find myself
(I should stop praying to no one!)
(I can't stop searching for someone!)
Please, just stop, sweetheart
(It gets better than this!)
I wish I could go, wish I could find a way...
(I just want to see your face)
But now I′m starting to see how it all, ends
(...and it′s not looking good at all!)

An anguished melody...
Reveals to me a memory
Of love once lost
A quiet affliction, a moment of weakness
(Breathe and shut your eyes!)
Finally, it all makes sense so naturally
I am lost...
When angels and devils make sense of the wreckage
Unsung heroine! Death won't set you free!

Immortality is your curse!
(An orphan by God, and lost)

(You′re an orphan by God, and lost!)
(An orphan by God!)
(An orphan by God!)
(You're an orphan by God!)

So now it seems...
The sky has failed me
(This has been a terrible mistake)
If I had just one more chance...

(If you′re looking for an answer...)
Hold tight, and never let me go
(If you're looking for an answer...)
And the lies we said, we′ll bury with the rest
(If you're looking for an answer...)
Oh, the senselessness of all this suffering
(If you're looking for an answer...)
Feel it again, and over again
(Let it begin)

(Born out of nothingness, defined by beauty and patience)
(A tortured existence which leaves behind no answers)
(Destined to suffer the struggle)
(Cursed to be one of them, to be both of them)
(Fatima Rusalka)

Ageless warrior left to...
Destroy mankind and reap the earth
We have to believe! Trust that there is hope!
Useless prayers will be left to...
Unveil the truth that all is lost
We have to believe! Trust that there is hope!
(It was never just a dream)
