Dancing In The Desert

6119
"The desert... There's only the desert in front of me
A dancing moth?... It's... It's almost as she's talking to me..."

Moth
"6119, follow the trail and dance in the desert
Look for the sleeping giants
And there you will find the key that opens all the doors."

I. Stepping into the desert

Step by step I went through that tight aisle
The neon lights, it seems they're talking to me rhythmically
"This way, this way you'll find your freedom"
A moth seems to show me the way
Dancing her delirious waltz, is she telling me to follow her?

Out. I am out from that subterranean prison
Those faces follow me like grinning gods
But I turned the wheel and complete the circle
I'm out and the desert's embrace lead me astray

Is it still her? Is she still playing with my mind?
I feel like a puppet in a fool android's hands
Standing to the right of a crying king
She whispers me

"Here, don't you hear? The world is crying!
Don't you hear the trembling universe?
Follow the eye of the crimson king
Chase the tear that will fall from the sky
Dance in the desert and you'll find the nine doors
There your plot will be complete."

II. Mirage

Fled by that place of mechanical captivity
The sun blinds me
It's not a light made of lies anymore
The air is so hot
I still can't breath on my own
I struggle to walk, to see and even to think

Remembrance of a self from the past
A mask on a chair
A mind divided into three sides
A conscience that lived by reflections of other people
A mind controlled by a merciless splendid machine
The machine was my jailer
The machine was my only vital source

"Run! Run!" a female voice screams
Let it be the holy escape of the prisoner
Don't let it be the ashamed desertion of the soldier
The moth flies by my side and I still hear
That woman's voice in my mind
"Run! Run!" a female voice screams
"Run! Run!" a female voice screams
The desert, I'm lost in the desert
I can see something in the distance, what are they?
Drunken giants of a past time?
They support each other like raving bums

It's like I'm walking for the whole humanity
Where did my society go?
I remember the moment where my maze was reflected
Who's that being, who was I, Who did I become?
A mask on a chair

"Here, don't you hear? The world is crying!
Don't you hear the trembling universe?
Follow the eye of the crimson king
Chase the tear that will fall from the sky
Dance in the desert and you'll find the nine doors
There your plot will be complete
Will be complete."

III. Strain

Eyes please don't betray me
Hands don't deceive me
Legs don't surrender, take me away from that place
And again the moth
She seems saying me to follow her
On her back there's like a crimson eye
Remember the voice, remember the droid
Remember the Crimson King

I follow her with trembling steps to those giants
As a sentient being only halfway
I live in the dual vision of two worlds
Like two photographs overlaid, I can see both places
Mother, protect me
Father, give me strength

IV. The passage

I see the dark and the day at the same time
Step by step
Past visions and future visions
I see the devil holding the flame
Now I see a tiny house
Among collapsed stone giants
I see the angels
There, a crimson eye is waiting for me
Falling into the mud
There, a door will open many others
I hear the king that calls me
