Pendosa

Petir menggelegar di malam hari
Hujan deras mengguyur kota
Hantaman petir yang mengagetkan semua insan
Alarm mobil yang tiada hentinya berdengung
Ada yang sadar..
Ada pula yang sudah terlelap dalam mimpinya..
Guntur ini bisa dianggap sebuah petanda
Petunjuk bahwa semesta sedang murka
Atas kelalaian dan ketidakpedulian manusia
Manusia-manusia yang terhanyut pada drama kehidupan
Kehidupan yang berisi suratan takdir yang tak bisa dipahami
Setiap makhluk hanya menjalani isi buku kehidupannya masing-masing
Takdir memang tak dapat dihindari
Akan tetapi manusia masih diberi kesempatan untuk memilih
Berbagai pilihan untuk bereaksi terhadap kehidupan ini
Ada yang sudah nyaman menjadi pendosa
Pendosa cerdik yang membuat semuanya menjadi indah
Akan tetapi hitam tidak dapat bercampur dengan putih
Suatu saat setiap makhluk akan dihakimi termasuk para pendosa
Sudah siapkah engkau?

Dream

Once I have a dream
Dream to reach the sky
Seeing the world
Not from a far 
But side by side

But dream is just dream
It began beautifully
And end painfully
Leaving behind past memory
And deep regret

I want to achieve my dream
But it was not possible
It's beyond my reach
No matter how hard I try 
It just never be mine

I have to wake up 
And face reality
That I fail to achieve my dream
Live a miserable life
I cannot forgive myself

A path open in front of me
With no way to achieve my dream 
I can only follow with empty heart
And fill it with new memory 
Even though I cannot break free

Unable to truly accept nor deny
What supposed to be my reality
Hiding my pain 
Hiding my dream 
I lose myself

Angela

Innocent

People say I am special
I have power to see destiny
And so I begin my journey
To create my own country

I need power
To protect my beloved ones
Sacrificing other people
I lose my innocence

Wonder where it gone wrong
I fulfill my dream
And left with deep regret
To gain something mean lose another thing

Doing the right thing
Protecting the weak and find peaceful world
How can that be wrong
Even if there's countless sufferings in the way

Angela

Broken

Your words are empty
It was all lies
I fall into your sweet words
And then I was broken 

You hurt me
and left me behind
With life full of sorrows
I know I really was broken

You broke me
Thorough and thorough
With nothing but hollow inside
Cannot feel and yet full of pain

Still even then 
This broken body and hearts
Will find the way
To become whole again

Angela

Your mate

Your Mate..

Since the moment I know you
I know you are one of a kind
Some people said
Mate is destined to be for us

It is true that
when we're looking
we find nothing
It will come
when we expect nothing

I don't know
how long our destination will be over
but one thing I know
I'll cherish our moments..

Legend

I want to change fate
Break free from the chains of past
Even when the whole world against us
Shattering me into pieces

I only want to see her smile
Free her from the curse
Wading through thousands of years
Searching for happiness

My hands were tainted
Living an unforgivable life
Trapped forever within past, present, and future
Still this heart cannot give up

Like unreachable stars in the sky
Our long journey is beautiful
With many precious memories
Transcending time and space

Our feelings cannot be broken
We will overcome these trials
We will wait for each other forever
and bring an end to this legend

Angela

King

For a long time,
I carry this burden
And live a tragic life
Discarding my humanity
To protect my country

Therefore,
I only have one wish
Wish to redo everything
Wish to save my country
Even when my country destroy me

Unfortunately,
I cannot save my country
My wish will not be granted
For it is wrong to change the past
And rejecting one own existence

Now I understand,
If I keep doing the right things until the end
I don't need to redo my life
Even if I cannot save my country
I can die in peace

Angela

Goodbye

I have nothing to say 
But to offer silent words and smile
To convey whats really in my hearts
For we both know the cruel reality

Silence is golden
Because words can hurt so much
You don't need words to express your feelings
Actions speak louder than words

We cannot change what have happened
We can only regret that things don't turn out like what we want
But regret and sadness can be change into happiness
As long as we have the courage to leave the past behind

Everything can begin 
Everything can also end
But that's not the end of our journey
We have to cherish each memories
And move on with our life



Regards, 
Angela

Sin

I want you to know
I am sinner
To fulfill my dreams
I cast aside my conscience
Close my eyes to not see the reality

Everthing I did
I did it out of love
I want you to be happy
Even if I have to live this unbearable life
Suffering until the end

I choose the evil path
Sold my soul to the devil
For my wish to be granted
I wonder whether it's worth it
I wonder what you think about it

Several times I want to stop
Walking this treacherous road
Only to continue
Because I cannot turn back
Stopping is not an option
We don't have that privilege

No one at fault
For not able to live happy life
That's just our fate
Something we cannot control
No amount of regret can change

We do what we have to do
Not because we believe it's right
But because that's what we know
How to continue our life
We live in this world after all

Right or wrong
This is our life
Not an ideal one
Still cannot be left behind
We can only dream for better one
Someday in the future

What goes around comes around
We cannot always be right
Much less win in this life
As long as we do our best
God will do the rest

Angela

Who knows

Once upon a time
There are two roads in front of us
Some people say choice is dangerous
Because it means you cannot turn back
Still we choose to be brave
And belive in our hearts
One day we can reach the stars

But all who enter the stars dies
For the truth it belies
We were trapped in fate
Unable to be truly free
Even though our hearts are right
Still we commit the sins
The sins cannot be forgiven
But we can only move on because of that sins.

No words can express the feelings
Not even the fallen tears 
There are too many things to be said
But don't know how to say it
Everythings stay in my heart
But it's okay
Because you can say it

There's no end to sadness
Only an everflowing pain
Pain that we know very well
But will never get used to
Because this heart will never accept nor denied
These shattered feelings
Tear each other apart
Only you want everyone to get along

We want peace
But these hearts won't let go
Our fate cannot be changed
Still we never give up
Chasing our dreams mean suffering
Too many things have been broken
Except you choose to leave the past behind

Still
Can we enter the stars ?
Can we still be alive and achieve our dreams ?
Is this all fate ?
Can our hearts be truly free ?
These lingering questions
And our contradictory life
Our contradictory feelings
Who knows the answers

Angela

Choice

Once 
I thought I was perfect
Live a good life
Plan for good future
Dream for the star
Everything was simple

In fact
I am just being ignorant
Close my eyes
Choose the easy way
Let others do the heavy work
Ignore the sacrifices

The price of not knowing
The price of standing still
I thought there's none
The truth
I cannot pay for it
I cannot accept it
Ignorance is not bliss

Making decision
One over another
You have to find the courage
To accept the pain and regret
To live with the mistakes



Regards, 
Angela

Wish

Once I had a dream
Dream that no longer can be fulfilled
Still I wish 
To fulfill my dream

You might have been right
There's the truth in my soul
The mistakes of the past
A path I could never turn back on
As long as I was shackled by ghost of the past
I wouldn't be able to fulfill my wish

I knew from the very start
I couldn't do anything for this girl
Still I wish to save her
To grant her the happiness she deserved
Even if that wish was doomed
I still refused to let go

Even if we are wrong
We should never give up
It might not be the right one
But we cannot always be right
We can only find the resolve to move forward

I know
This life will be paved with misery
It may not lead to the happy ending
But we can walk together
And forgive each other
Even if our dreams remain ever unfulfilled


Regards, 
Angela

Myself

I know
I am really foolish
Keep doing the same things
Keep following the same path
Keep making the same mistakes
I cannot escape

I thought
I can change
The regret
It was trapping me
Unable to break free
I keep hurting myself

I realized
So long ago
I reached my limit
Deceiving myself
Thinking I can change
In fact I am stay still

You know  
I am sinner
Leaving my conscience
Warping my mind
Clouding my heart
Unable to atone
Like shadow in the dark

Still I cannot stop
Everything I did
I did it out of love
Love give me power
To overcome the pain
To live with regrets
To sacrifice my soul
To accept my fate
Forever


Regards,
Angela

Confusion

This feeling I can't hold
The melody of madness
Coming from emptiness
I made one wrong move
And lose the whole world

Unable to think
Unable to choose
I were trapped
Between past, present, and future

Not know what's right
nor what's wrong
I can only embrace
Things far beyond my mind

These two roads
One lead to the future
And the other to another life
Creating divergent
Leading to confusion
It's dangerous things

Angela

Existence

It cannot be true
But the truth's in there
I am not alive
I never alive in the first place 
No meaning for my existence
My crumbling heart was crying out

Being pawn in this rotten world
Played around here and there
I questioned my sanity
Even knowing I cannot quell my anger
My heart guide me to the future

Unable to truly live
Nor accept death 
I need to believe in myself 
Start over and find justice
Even when buried deep in the name of power 

It is not impossible 
To live with imperfect past
Even if it's not fair
And my life have been forsaken
I will keep moving on 


Regards, 
Angela

Haunt

Everything stop
One day one time 
I cannot see
I cannot feel
I cannot live

No way I can forget
Nor I can forgive
I see their pain
I feel their sufferings
And live their curse

Come from the dark
It keeps haunting me
Not letting me go
I was trapped
Between vengeance and conscience

I sold my soul
Abandoned my humanity
To achieve my goal
Sacrifice innocent lives
And paint hell in this unjust world
Not only because of hatred, but love too

I cannot be forgiven 
Nor I can turn back 
Looking for salvation through revenge
I cannot be happy 
Still I have no regret
Taking chance in front of death door
I will apologize in hell


Regards, 
Angela

War

It's been a long time
So long I thought I cannot feel 
Nor I want to feel 
Still the tears fallen through

The pain was too much
It pierced through my heart
Nevertheless I cannot turn my eyes
For it is unforgivable sin
To not let the dead rest in peace
And forget the one left behind grief and anger

I vow I won't stop
Even when there's no hope
For that my only salvation
Revenge against the enemies
And make them understand what they deserve

People say not to despair death
And make your sacrifice worthwhile
Because someone will remember it
And you live in their memories


Best Regards,
Angela

Reasons

You're gone again
It's been so many times
I even could not count it
You treat me as I am a robot
Robot with no feeling
You made me get through all alone
for thousand days and nights
You have your reasons
Reasons that will be your company forever
Because I can't be your company
You made feel worthless
That is more than enough
I hope oneday
When you're in there and go nowhere
You'll wish I was there
Because I will live miles away from you
