about

Black Temple talks about the inner conflict of making the wrong choices for the right reasons. Desire, ambition, compassion and love all go hand in hand as they prevail over integrity and other core values. But everything in life has a price to pay. Is it all worth it in the end or is it just a selfish search for something we lack? To what point can we be what we really want, if we exchange everything we are for everything we would like to be? Would we be freer because of it? Or would we wish we had never considered this path?

lyrics

I sold my soul
For a thousand dreams and let go
Of everything I used to know
The poison lingers in my chest
And it feels so cold
Black veins are starting to grow
But I let it flow, I let it flow

I sold my soul
For the highest price that I could ever choose
Too late to turn back know
So, I let it go, I let it go

Guide me through the depths of the temple
I’ve been cursed before but now it’s different
Brainwash my beliefs and tell me
That I’m the only one above it all

I never thought that this could be the end of the journey
But tables turn, and halos burn
Straight to oblivion

Broken wings will never fly
Condemned in death and buried alive
Go on and blame it on me

Come on, meet my reality

There’s no sacred paths in this dying world
When you try to break the vicious cycle
You realize that bravery is long gone
And you just take a breath and try to hold on

I am not myself anymore
Trying to go through the pain once again
How long does it take for this to be over?
‘Cause I don’t think I can fake it much longer

I never thought that this could be the end of the journey
But tables turn, and halos burn
Straight to oblivion

Broken wings will never fly
Condemned in death and buried alive
Go on and blame it on me

Guide me through the depths of the temple
I’ve been cursed before but now it’s different
Guide me through the depths of the temple
I’ve been cursed before but now it’s different
Brainwash my beliefs and tell me
That I'm the only one above it all

I will face myself in the desert
Stained with the blood on my hands
It burns my throat when I try to breath
The void is real and it lives inside of us

I sold my soul
For a thousand dreams and let go
Of everything I used to know
Poison lingers in my chest
And it feels so cold, it just feels so cold

I sold my soul
For the highest price that I could ever choose
Too late to turn back know
So, I let it go, I let it go
