Lyrics

 

Upon a Withered Heart

The mind was never expected to fade, but the body disobeyed

a willingness to isolate isn’t enough, unwavering

couldn’t escape from this disheartened place, as all their eyes looked on

admittedely it felt good to be part of something crashing down, fading out

the cold, the ghost, I dare not obey, at the end would I give my life away

holding to a feeling I must not betray, on this road, I am on my own

It’s not just your words they’ll decry, but a tale so empty

blind resurgence, through what’s hopeless

breath and hide the sick look in your eyes

dark illusions no solutions

deep in the remains, a self righteous stain upon a withered heart

the shadow feeds on all parts of me 

soon we’ll be fading out, crashing down

the cold, the ghost, I dare not obey, at the end would I give my life away

holding to a feeling I must not betray, on this road, I’m not on my own

Not on my own

A Life Once Known

Falling back on a habit that was broke before, 

a lost part of me designed to fade the moment I awake

here’s no escaping from this pain I need to know that it’s not too late 

for redemption, nothing left but a mind that was filled with its own hate

somebody save me from these ways I need to know its not too late for me

and i’ll stay til the very end

the forsaken dream

it’s getting cold

follow the path once known

The seeds we grow are not etched in stone but flow like the river that brings us home

the brilliant glow claimed as our own, buried beneath a life once known

holding on to a semblance of myself once more,  everything I knew was thrown away as

I formed a new face

an understatement we must pay I want to feel now but it’s not the way

the night calls you over and brings your demise

Ruin

He looks upon his people as they fall to the floor from their aching lives,

the wine is sweeter with the luxury of a fading lie 

breath the air that gifted your demise right in front me

how could you know how far I’d go to get what’s rightfully mine

I want to see your pain right in front me now, but we must wait for all the eyes of the town

forgotten people won’t forget the hell that they endured

thrown to the fire  night eats the day, one by one we’ll show that they’re all the same

empty, i promise I will change, I swear you’ll be me one day, 

it wasn’t fate that broke me down, it was all part of the game

break down these walls and through all their doors, take back life from those who take what is 

yours, reach out to me, his fiery sleep

thrown to the fire as the night eats the day, one by one we will show that they’re all the same

Relic

Beating,

My heart beats

quicker than I dare to count

Trying

Hoping to

See another way out

I can’t understand, I can only

see that nobody’s

Happy, I fear there’s no move

There’s nobody else left to judge, and

fate has no

say, this was the choice

Twirl it around, a

key, a crown, a

torch in the cold could be

death for a town

Naive, confused, shameful fool

Lead us to poisoned waters

A silent goodbye is a scream in the night

I can’t stop, there’s nobody

Happy, I fear there’s no move

There’s nobody else left to judge, and

fate has no

say, this was the choice

Gentle, a warm hand

Close your eyes, its summer

A peaceful time, in peaceful eyes,

now cry, betray lies

Quench the flame and

turn to dust

all my sorrow

gifted trust  

Still cinders burn that

melt the skin

there is no end I know

Realize truth unveiled

No will to mask it

Quench the flame, my

heart is lost

sorrow coats

love in rust

Coals ignite

destroy shadow

A gentle warm glow

show me where to go

Edge of Eternity

fall into the dream that i now see

and I don’t know if it is all meant to

kill me it won’t matter in the end

because you will always be with me, my friend

yes we all, we will fall at the end of at the end of existence we rise

and to what we don’t know but the story still goes forever on it doesn’t end it doesn’t die

we gaze up a blood red and the scene it will always fill our minds

for the rest of our lives we look to the skies asking why til we say our last goodbyes

standing on the edge of eternity

looking down i feel fear take a hold of me

I don’t know I only see, it’s far too late just to believe 

is your vision of heaven a picture of eternal bliss

and are the storms of your nightmares gone with the wind

Fall into the dream I see, stand before eternity

 

 

 

 

Dusk

In shivering pain, I closed my eyes
Deep in darkness, I fell through the sky
Lost in thought and lost in time
I felt the fire ignite deep within and I cried for life to begin

And here I find wretched suffering
The wrath of kings and greed unending

And I feel the chance for redemption is over and I know now why I am here and I try to Forget my fear, forget my fear, forget my fear
Forget my fear

I’ll try to forget my fear

And the home I left is gone with the wind, but the new sun shines the way ahead,

For he’s overcome with lies of this earth? (regrets his life, regrets his light)

And leads us to overcome the worst (look toward the light, the end’s in sight)

Sundown somehow killed all those dreams, hell and it’s fire consoling it seems,

As I recount the sad memory, run out through the darkness climb out of the pit
And declare before death that this isn’t it, the sun will remember our names

After all everything I have seen I cannot explain why the darkness remains, hope’s now gone as we wake from this sleep, remember this song, remember this dream

I still see, and I still believe, and I remember why, I would give my life

In sad serenity I opened my eyes, and I recall the song, as I look toward the sky

Dark Cloud

I am awake at last, and now I’m finally aware,

No longer tied to the past,

The only question is where do I go now?

There is a presence here, you can’t stay here, hold on to what is near, do not fall into your fear

At last on this day I can see so far away, the dark cloud that consumed me has left without a hold,

The skies may be turning grey but I fear not the coming days, because I have found what I’ve been searching for so long
It’s a treacherous bottomless pit, do you fear the abyss? In your mind it’s what you’ve Always wanted, now you find yourself being hunted in this war

There is a presence, you can’t stay here, hold on to what is near, do not fall into your fears.

Requiem

Troubled nights I’d lie awake sometimes, I found no solace in these confines of mine
These cold days will soon fade away in to a new age in spring, I hope you find the light in these times
Darkness is this world before my eyes, a grey portrait of a thousand deaths a dimming light
Burnt to ashes but a amidst the carnage I see a flicker of light in the waste

And I can see the end and I cannot reach it
(is there something I don’t know)
Was hope a lie?
(Will I ever know the answer?)

I see the sunrise as I raise up from the lies
What’s to show for all of these tormented years I am lost in a consuming fear
What is left, what have we done?

The wind will take me home if I had the choice I would give my life again
Death will see me gone and here I lie sadly singing lullabies at the end

Tried as I might I could not put things right and regret would see me writhing in pain
and as this snow falls down this fire burns out, I leave you with not but a memory

Promise as I leave you all behind
(that you will breathe free again)
My last request as I leave this world my friend

I see my last sunrise and I know this is my last goodbye keep the fire burning bright in The darkness of time
and I know you will forever fight for the only thing I’ve ever known.

I am a ghost, I haunt the land, revenge is mine, I returned to see them die, the reddened Land will cherish the blood of the slain
I’ll remain here forever, remember my name

I see the sunrise, I feel it in my heart I can hear your cry in this everlasting night

Is this our glimpse of truth as the sun turns away?

The wind will take us home if I had the choice I’d live it once again, death has no control, Still here we stand sadly singing lullabies ’til the end

Visions of Awakening

Am I insane or is this all a nightmare
Who’s to judge the sane? If we’re all part of the same enigma
Keep on running through the ages, we can find the light, please break free out of the cages into the free night

Are you scared? should we be? An answer we will shortly know, one more day, one more dawn, we will go

A call to arms, a call to victory, when will we finally find our place in eternity?

Are you scared? Should we be? An answer we will shortly know, one more day, one more dawn, we will go

Now that we’ve found our stars are burning brighter, life we’ve forsaken for far too long
Now that we know our destiny is farther, off in the distance is where we will go

A call to arms, a call to victory, when will we finally find our place in eternity?

Are you scared? Should we be? An answer we will shortly know, one more day one more dawn we will go

For it all, What is life? An answer we may never know, one more day one more journey through our souls

Song for the Lost

I hide a fracturing mind inside myself
A ghost of a former life escapes my view
Or is it a tale of a future not yet told
I fear the end but new beginnings slowly unfold

And now as the sky turns black, I linger alone
And I’m scared that if my soul won’t let me do, what I need to do

Another day it shines over me in this dark abyss I’ve never seen more clearly
and even if the worst hasn’t passed, well I know that I’ll find my home at last

A life that is stained with disappointment regret and strife
At least the horizon speaks without any lies
Another war is waged out of uncertainty
Will there be a day when the magic of dreams hold sway

Another day it shines over me in this dark abyss I’ve never seen more clearly
And even if the worst hasn’t passed, well I know that’ll find my home at last

Eidolon

I held my breath as gazed upon these cliffs of stone
Towering over the abyss, the deep unknown, no more time to wait, I was brought here by fate
I can hear them coming, and their screams tell me their hate

Why am I still waiting? Is this my final ending as I mourn for the days long gone?

Life slips away, to my weary dismay
As I draw my last breath, I’ll wait here for death

It was me, I told them I could see, the fault of their cruel ambition and now they drove me away

I ran for the sea, maybe they wouldn’t catch up with me
I hoped that I had time but here I am about to die
I had told them my truth now they cower behind their lies

Here I stand on this threshold of stone, I fall into the great unknown

Life slips away, to my wary dismay, I’m drawing, my last breath, It’s here I welcome death

Time is slowing down, I can see their faces peering over the cliffs edge, but it’s odd ’cause I’m calm
I’m calm now, but now I wonder what is next

Is darkness the final chapter in this tale? Is there nothing left to tell? How can the prelude to nothingness ever be the majesty of life, perpetual beauty?

It was me, I told them I could see, but now I’m not so sure, as I throw open the final door, the final door

Life breathes in me, I cannot believe, and how they could not see, is how I know that I’m free

Spectrum

Only poisoned memories deeply breathe, sorrows remedy
Now we’re fading, in her embrace, we sit gazing, demons waiting

Rise above, fleeting words, the light provokes me, and all I know, is if we fall, please know I tried

She sways in the wind, her leaves caught my eye, a spectrum of the incessant life
No place to begin, a vision, a sign will uproot our dream our dreams beneath the sunrise

Oh (our souls still feed in there)

It’s so cold (so cold when we breathe in there)

And we know (how we feel when we see their stares)

That this tree grows

Feeding insecurities, rooted seething, absolves my soul

Now we’re hating, mountains crashing, eyes abstaining, from the hazing

Rise above, fleeting words, the light awoke me, and all I know is fear, and praying won’t save me

Rise above, this bleeding curse, and let life break free, with all I am and will become, this world is plenty

Rise above this bleeding curse and let life break free, all I knew was fear, and staying has saved me

In Forgotten Sleep

Slowly awakened by the light, these silent goodbyes to a
Life of mere flashes before my eyes, the memory will die by night
Though I try to recall, all that I saw, here I wait for sunrise

If the sun gave away to mortal decay
Into darkness I would roam,
At its last sunset, we should not forget
As we still carry on

The somber chill that enslaved the very air, held me breathless before
And songs unsung revive what we lived for, yet we still search for more
As the cold gives away, to a new day, that we dared not hope for

Here I look out far
In this forbidden place
And remember days long past
To find strength for today

And if hope had failed
We might not have lived at all
Gazing at the darkened sky
We can still see the stars

If the sun gave away to mortal decay
Into darkness I would roam,
at its last sunset, we should not forget
As we still carry on (and on)

I recall the subtle chill
As the quiet settles in
It must be a test of will

And if I feared this scene
Its because I must have known this
In my darkest dreams

Deep in the dark
We found our hearts
And sorrow we reaped
In forgotten sleep

If the sun gave away to mortal decay
Into darkness I would roam,
at its last sunset, we should not forget
As we still carry on
