Always There 02:34
It doesn't begin without pain It doesn't end like giving birth You never create something new You never burn the curtains It's all there, was always there It's more than you see, you hear It's one step back from the insane. Yet it's the thing that keeps you sane Where would you be without it? It's all there, was always there. You've lied to yourself all this time.
2.
Sleep 05:36
Divine forces unite Divine forces unite Divine forces unite You lie as the sun burns your throat You've been asleep all this time just to wake here It's no salvation as you guessed It's just pain and pain and more pain Small people inside your head come out Small people gathered around you Hitting with sarcastic sticks You can reach with your hand to kill But kill the pain you never will You'll never get out of here you think These midgets, these feelingless angels Whatever they are, they are here to stay Sleep Oh beautiful sleep Make me forget this pain, oh sleep Be my saviour and please kill my pain Sleep
3.
Hours of burning sun Bruises always bring new friends Am I damned in this lonely world Am I to witness there is no salvation Small angels fear the dark They fear how they will fail Fail to kill the ugly beast That is you You'll never get out of this limbo This unborn child of pain You'll never stand up for yourself To kill the pain with bear hands To get rid of these filthy insults That are just feelingless empty bottles of painkillers These unmighty angels These torturers Was it all to die, die here
4.
I was a man to fear the loneliness I was a man to fear the cold Now on this cold night as my body shivers I miss the presence of even my torturers My heart bleeds, only you would know If only you were here to rest my head on Your shoulders my shelters Your body my shrine I'd rather sleep to look around Only to see the blue dark cold night The forest of silence Wolves' eyes, blue fire inside The green is not glowing Red is just not there Blue is everywhere It startles me only to see Nothing ever comes around I expected so much more It doesn't come around I expected so much more Music does not play here I'm frightened to hear something else I put my hands to my ears I'm losing it more with every breath I'm losing it more with every breath I'm losing it more with every breath One can't suffer more than he needs Everyone eventually will win or just sleep That's my coldest story How I stepped into another sleep

Mighty King 04:52
Memories of yesterday dare me to wake I wake at the yellow hall of the "Mighty King", as they call him He stands happy and proud with the flute he's playing Midgets happily dancing, having fun, fooling around Mighty King welcomes me and shows me around Music's playing everywhere we go The joy of harmony in my ears and heart Creating an illusion of heaven and beyond I belong here, I'll never leave Just to stay and look up the blue sky I'll give up everything I have to give Just to stay and look up the blue sky The harmony of this place and my body Mighty King speaks and points The blue orb is here, it's all you want You didn't know what you're after Every search should have an aim You've been lost till today Cause it was nowhere you've tried going The blue orb was always here The music you seek is inside
7.
Blue Orb 03:14
The blue orb he left me with I've waited it to shine I've waited till the beautiful moonlight The blue night was here to stay The orb went up and shined and shined The anxiety I felt in my heart Anyone would say the world was going apart The beam was born out of nowhere Rising to infinity, tearing up the sky I finally saw what was in the air The music The meaning The light I've realized they are all one I've realized they are divine Finally with this realization I thought I found my salvation But the pain silently waited to catch me by surprise That night I slept under the light Dreamt the most beautiful dreams Floating around weightlessly But nothing's ever what it seems
8.
Mighty King is calling me What music did I bring to him Since I slept under the light How will I pay back for the most beautiful night I try to sing nicely, but I fail each time I remember everything The things that I've been through Nothing seems to give me the inspiration Lost in the empty fields of nausea Lost in the empty fields of nausea Lost in another dark cold world I must overcome the sorrow But it's hopeless I'm here for myself And I dare to stand for my own truth But my passion fades away My sorrows win the game I feel there's more but I just can't go beyond Mighty King and his mighty sword Showing they can end it all Please will you stop the pain Please help for my cure I promise I'll stand and do the best that I can To bring music, music of my own Music for you to explore My journey will never end And my life will be recorded And my passion will bring inspiration To those who seek their own truth So please will you stop the pain Please help for my cure I promise I'll stand and do the best that I can To bring music, music of my own Music, music of my own His sword shines with wisdom His eyes create a hole on the ground Only to get bigger and bigger And the bigger it gets, the closer to me Until I finally start to fall Fall, fall, fall to infinity From yellow to the ugliest brown I fall Fires burn and I fall Bruises burn and I fall I scream in horror What did I do wrong A glimpse of light in my mind In the core of my thoughts I found my wrong
9.
Illusion 04:22
In the middle of an ocean I hear the music playing Beautiful poems, beautiful voices Dancing through my ears I see the music, I can reach with my hand Yet I dare not to touch it I only try to comprehend Music is there It was always there Build your own world filled with harmony But music you cannot change Music you cannot move Music you cannot create You can only and only use Strum your guitar and sing along Your soul is free but not your words It's neither mine or yours Beauty is there to embrace Noone can create music You're creating an illusion You're creating an illusion You're creating an illusion You're creating an illusion

about

I began composing Mighty King over one and a half year ago. I was playing and singing it to a few friends last summer. Since then, I left it until I get my equipments right so that I would record it in good quality. But a month ago I decided to record some demos of the songs. When I began recording, waiting for the right equipment felt like forever, and I thought my recording session went well, so I decided to release this thing as it is.
I’m not sure about the artistic value of this work, I don’t know if anyone will really love it; but it is of great importance to me personally. It reflects what I was going through in my head when I was composing it. The theme of Mighty King feels very similar to what I feel like going through every day. It’s about trying to create (art) but never feeling like you achieved anything. It’s about when you feel like your mind is torturing you. It’s about these glamorous artistic dreams that you have to confess that they are never going to happen.
And then, you have to find out that with something like art, you can’t really achieve much, whatever other people would think. You have to realize that you’re not really creating anything but rather you’re collecting these moments from your life and poorly trying to transform those moments into another form. You have to realize that creating art is not always about you, and the thing you created is not yours.
You’re, indeed, creating an illusion of sorts.
