Phantom feat. Vocaloid Oliver

After songs that discussed bullying, sea and salvation, me and Farhad decided to explore something even heavier: death. This is a song that expresses the sorrow and unwillingness of a young soul, who told the aftercomers and the excavators (or archaeologists in some occasions) to look forward, instead of looking back. Of course, thanks to Billie again for the phantom ollie! Song by Taiji Farhad & Robert Lynn Lyrics & VPR by Robert Lynn Chinese Translation by Elros Farhad (from Illusion X) Art by Billie X. PV by 简纸Paper --- Closer to thee Closer to thee I start my verse from pages the first I see Glory for thee Glory for thee A chant in lines towards the eternal sleep When I closed my eyes, I see… Stars are bright and come to me Bring the wish of calm and peace While the flesh turns into weeds Now I will become stones and dust Ashes to ashes, it’s a must Hereafter apart from beating hearts Send the very mind with my gasps Forge a souvenir and a vase Cover it up with finest art My remains would soon get rotten But I will be a good phantom… Please rest in peace Please rest in peace Here lies a shrouded truth that wiped from my deeds Hear ye, hear ye Hear ye, hear ye Why do the crows around go on chattering? Don’t look back to pebble trails Hammering another nail Make a wish in front of seals Soul of mine breaks free, for real Acres of acres of cross and bones Patches of patches of withered rose Entrance for actors to another world Yet it’s not them who took the bows Whether I cherished my kins and mates? Whether I expect my coming days Doomed to be the letters on the page Turn to yellow and fade away… When the tears become the rain Once the time has come, they said… There will be a glimpse someday Blames the past in sheer dismay Why, they ignored the bird‘s request Why, they left the boy in distress? By the time they opened the old nook They won’t recognize me in their first look I am with the soil and the dirt Look to stars with me, eyes that cursed! Legend is written by outstanding minds You might find them somewhere behind…
