Resurgence

Into the Far-Off Void

In Absentia Dei

Chant for Ezkaton 2000 E.V.

From the Pagan Vastlands

Born behind a paywall life
(before I could choose)
Raised to smile, trained to lie
(they call it polite)
Freedom’s just a brand they sell
And I was choking by design
(no accident)

Met my people through a screen
Felt more real than kings and queens
We’re all ghosts in rented space
Told to love this rusted cage
(not today)

They say “money can’t buy peace”
(tell that to the rich)
But I’ve sold my time for nothing
And bled just to exist
Try dreaming big in a quiet cell
(echoes don’t build)
Try being human in this hell
(it breaks you)

I wanna break the wires
(watch me burn)
Wanna burn their choir
(hear me now)
Build a fire where the liars freeze
With the freaks and friends who still believe
(still here)
I don’t want gold
I just want a soul
That dares to scream and dares to bleed
Just one fucking place —
Where I can fucking breathe
(breathe…)

I don’t want your luxury war
I want dirt beneath my door
A broken fence, a firelight
Where no one begs to earn their right
(or prove their worth)

I got a dream so loud it hurts
They tried to patent every word
But I’ll scream until my lungs give out
(not for sale)
Even if no one lets me out
(still free)

We’re already in their prison
They just painted it with pride
So we build walls inside the walls
(to fucking think)
Not to hide — but to survive

We carve a space where thoughts can live
Where truth cuts deep and joy forgives
They call us mad — let them speak
(madness sees clear)
This is the only way we breathe

Come with me
(right now)
We’ll build a wall
(of fire and songs)
Not to shut them out
But to feel at all

Why?
Because their walls make us sick
Because their walls make us numb
Because if we don’t build something real
(then we’re already gone)

I wanna break the wires
(I will)
Wanna burn their choir
(sing louder)
Build a fire where the liars freeze
With the freaks and friends who still believe
I don’t need gold
I just want a soul
That dares to scream and dares to bleed
Just one fucking place —
Where I can fucking breathe
(breathe… and mean it)

And if they tear it down tomorrow…
If they bury us beneath…
We still lived —
Where we could fucking breathe
(even if just once)

Where I Can Fucking Breathe

(Intro)

श्रीं ह्रीं ऐं छिन्नमस्तायै नमः॥
शक्ते काली रक्तमयी, नमो भयङ्करि नमः॥


(Verse 1)

छिन्नमस्ते महासत्ता, खड्गपाणि भीषणि।
स्वशीर्षं यो स्वयम् छित्वा, शोणितं स्रावयत्यपि॥

शोणितधारा निर्गच्छति, नाभिदेशात्त्रिधा भुवा।
द्वाभ्यां शक्तिभ्यां पीत्वा त्वं, तृप्तिर्भवति पूर्णदा॥



(Chorus 1)

रक्तज्वाला ज्वलद्धारा, छिन्नशीर्षा जयार्चिता।
ह्रीं ह्रीं जपसि कण्ठे त्वं, भयहरा तव कीर्तिता॥

भीता मत्ता त्वया लोकः, त्वं करुणा विकर्तनि।
त्रैलोक्ये तव रूपं हि, मुक्ति-दा परशक्तिनि॥




(Verse 2)

शवस्थे च शिवे लीनं, नग्ना त्वं रक्तचर्चिता।
त्रिनेत्रा त्वं महावेगा, कालिनी क्रूरदर्शना॥

कपालिनि खड्गहस्ता, त्वं भवच्छेदकारिणी।
मोहं छिन्धि मम त्वं हि, क्रोधं दाहय शूलिनि॥




(Bridge)

मम अहंकारं देहि नाशं –
खड्गेन कृपया कुरु मोक्षम्॥



(Chorus 2)

महामाये मृत्युनाशे, छिन्नमस्ते नमोऽस्तु ते।
कायं त्यक्त्वा चेतनं यत्, शिवरूपं प्रकाशते॥

ह्रीं ह्रीं ह्रीं छिन्नमस्ते, रुद्धद्वन्द्व विनाशिनि।
जय जयेति त्वां वन्दे, मुक्तिदायिनि शाश्वति॥


---

(Outro)

श्रीं ह्रीं ऐं रक्तस्वरूपिण्यै नमः॥
छिन्नमस्ते! छिन्नमस्ते! छिन्नमस्ते!
