Behind The Sun
09:11
|
|

Before the sun came falling down,
It brought it's warmth upon me
Why do i wonder, why do i seek to fail
Caress my misery, as yours laid its head to sleep
Now the darkness grows, Yet it troubles me to see
That this was all i've known
Eyes full of solitude, i no longer fear for me
but something is waiting
Your flame, deep inside of me
Distracts me from the silence that you bring
Your face, in this state of dreams
Thick enough to hide the signs
Days pass as time slows down
When your presence yet eludes me
The fire's fading now,
Only death of you remains
In this place, i hold no power over me
The birth of what i feared
Where is the one i know
What is this beast in front of me
I've watched you die so many times,
Am i, a saviour in your eyes
I see no comfort in your smile,
A longing you can not disguise
This part of you, i can't bear to see

House Of Glass
07:23
|
|
||
I've built this house around me, with walls so frail
So you can see right through
There are no doors nor windows, no creaks from which to breathe
Only silence and all of me
I can see your faces, but i can't hear them speak
In awe and desperation, helpless and weak
Here in this tomb of light, i remain
For you to judge, and yours to betray
I tried to tear it all down, but you won't let me leave
Suffer here some more, for all to see
I sense you're longing for more, but i stand empty
You curse my name, i curse this house of glass
Judge me harshly, for i bear the sins of two.
Victim to your scorn, but you won't share the weight of your burdened life
Come closer to me...and see what you've created
For you all to see, i will shatter this all.
Be a victim no more , stain my blood on the walls
In infamy, portraited, the life i have is a life no more
From the fear of your scorn i build this house for you alone

My Kingdom Eclipsed
07:26
|
|
||
This wretched place again,
Defiled and stained, shrouded between the curtains
Where I once laid, is now a graveyard of your sin
And it won't let me leave
And as the dreams unveil, I see your face
But something disappeared
I feel the emptiness of life and dread to look upon you
For who is it I see,
Where are you now?
What have I become
It feels so real, but I wake
Panic rising through me
Wake into nightmares of the past
Time and time again.
Failing to grasp their meaning
This eerie messenger of dark, has come to take away
The only place that I could rest, and now I dread to visit
It takes on many forms but none appeal to me
From sadness it is born, and portrays the fear I cling to
And as the dreams collapse, I hear you call my name
But something's missing from your voice
You're not the one, I gave my life for
You're not the one, I once died for
Where are you now?
What is left of me
I sense an Eclipse in my dreams
And when I wake up from this hell,
I'll take the fall again

Hysteria
06:25
|
|
||
Retribution seems in order.
Inspired by this mass disorder
I feel no pain, and fear no wrath
Hysteria, A haze of red,
I've been a victim for too long and i cannot explain
I do not know why you're in pain or who made you this way
When all sense fades away, and insanity remains
Longing for the final breath, that never came to me
Despair for my own mind
Seven months of misery
Came suddenly crashing down on me
I lick my wounds and fear no death
Hysteria, My inner dread
A guiding hand to lead the way,
Disconnecting reality,
I only seek to shelter from the torrent of your malice
But rain will come, and she'll be fine
From every consequence it caused.
A soul so holy
Once the lord now overthrown
No will to claim the throne no more
The storms building up inside
Paradise came burning down
Where i remained in ignorance
This bliss is known to me, but there's no comfort in it's voice
Takes control of all in me And opens all the doors
The Fragile beast, now knows no sleep
The keeper of the key to all of this, no longer roams among us
Eternal solitude in the prison of my mind

Spiral's End
07:00
|
|
||
In this spiral, i, seek to remedy
A cure for the calling.
Blade to skin, as an answer to your voice
Drenched, myself in questions
Starved for your redemption
Carved, into flesh
And as i open up the door, the sight reflects no martyr
The feeling's numb, the time is gone
But i remain in silence
Unanswered as my offering expires
Your thirst has known no bounds
The rivers will be dried from all vitality it brought to no avail
Now you read between the lines, and see a different story
One of mourning, one of agony
Now you're feeding me my lines
Controlling what is left of me
I need the pain to stop, i need an answer for this life
And the bleeding stops unanswered,
Yet it never fails, to remind me
I've seen the world turn black, here at the spiral's end

Through Her Eyes
07:32
|
|
||
Through her eyes, the verdict is : Lost
And who is to blame
And even with the holy light, i failed you
I watched the abyss grow , Let me be your solace
Who am i, if not your wings. Forlorn in elegy's she sings
Please forgive me, for i have lost
My will to guide you
The years have worn me down.
In Burdens i have watched you drown
Do you fear, the days to come?
When light has yet abandoned you
Through her eyes, all hope is gone
Did you not hear me scream, from beyond the skies
My resonating voice , echo tales of demise
Can you not understand, Every step, in the void.
i kept your darkness at hand
Through the veil that you created, i once dreamt of hope. But nevermore
I once wished the world for you, but nevermore
Please don't take this away from me

The Fragile Beast
09:38
|
|
||
Torn by the hands of fate, a messenger of light.
That these two paths may intertwine is beyond the grip of time
A creature born of woes, a beast too strong for its own will
To lacerate himself is to never be himself again
Yet i stand, hand in hand with death himself.
A marionette of woes,
And she sees, the inner void so cold
Nothing matters to this beast
and nothing should , as he ever could
In pain, a suffering so deep.
And walls catch a glimpse of sickness so misleading
The horror now exposed.
In mirror shards and dreams, he senses dread from times to come
Long for illusions of the days so long ago
A calm before the storm, the anger building up inside.
Where she has made her bed, and suffers still the same
Yet i stand, face to face with shattered mind
A puppeteer so frail
And she feels, more than she would ever know
Nothing matters to this beast
and nothing should , as she ever could
In vain, a longing obsolete
Come and take me to your light.
I see the battles in your mind.
But i see nothing in your eyes
Like drops of poison, the shadow of a cloud
The beast will face himself, and longs to be defeated
Where once was clarity, the air fills with their misery
The scarred claws come out and preys upon its victim.
And with his words he took her breath away.
Atrocities, unspoken, yet so fragile
A final act of torment,
And darkness has ensued
And she was gone, like others before her
With a kiss and no goodbye,
A funeral without a grave,

Embers
07:01
|
|
||
I cannot bear to hear, the silence that reminds me
The agony that binds me
This loneliness that haunts me
The emptiness that blinds me.
These glowing embers of your flame, a remnant burning
The dying of your purity, and thoughts are turning
You cannot slay the beast, embodiment of cruelty
Maybe you are not the one, i long for when i turn to dust
Ashes of your perfect skin, the treasure of this labyrinth
Why did i not see where you came from,
Why can't you see where you stray from
And now the beast is gone, the mourning never seems to stop
And now i'm yearning for the end
Sparks of hope, must be extinguished and put to rest
For all i had of you has burned, and now there's only embers
Forlorn, i lay here bleeding
And after all i've seen,
I do not fear the cold you bring
Abhorrence of your misery
This is the end for me,
I no longer fear the calling
Without the one for me
The serpent that has chained my life
I've flown too close to your light
And as you eclipsed me, i've lived in fear
You're not the one i gave my life for
You're not the one i once died for
