Released When You Are Dead - Anata

Anger seeds sown once in not buried past

Hatred grows

With the thoughts of a liberation

See my eyes and you shall see

They’re deeper than the blackest sea

Emancipation — serenity to be received

Release me

My mind all serene

My consciousness relieved

This is the only confession that I need

Enemies of mine

You shall be condemned

Imprisoned spirit of hate

Released when you’re dead

Dare me now

I’ll feel relief when you’re dead

Satisfaction, retribution

I shall smile when you’re dead

How many saw the pain I’d feel

No one saw

What could not be for real

I laugh in the face of humanity

Every oppression shall be scorned

Without you my mind would be free

Or I wish it would be

For every day in my life

Another dream to come true

And so many things to fulfill

And so much life and pain

And remorse to kill

Pain can be so sweet

Pain can be the sincerest thing

But in my heart the hatred grows

And crushes beauty viciously

As death can be so beautiful

But also insignificant

As in the most precious things

I writhe in disgust

(A revered prism I am…)

My eyes gather colors

And form it into total darkness

Inverted, twisted — like me

As bright as the sun may shine

As black shines my mind

Enemies of mine

You shall be condemned

Imprisoned spirit of hate

Released when you’re dead

Dare me now

I’ll feel relief when you’re dead

Satisfaction, retribution

Maybe smile when you’re dead
