1.
Beyond a deccenium Our paths were once merged pure A story of love and light Our bonds tightened in the course Sheathed in our desires Desires that only rang true Bringing into this reality A small yet glowing heart of gold Absolute purity, unconditional Our roads diverged, but parallel Our victories opposed, but kept close Forgiven, eternally, the darkness waned Once and for all My only hope was to mend and love Shrouded in regret, to hold you again Illness and tragedy in reality’s wake Many things I wish to change If only I can have you back We will meet again, in love and spirit Let us interlock once again, forever
2.
A promising tale, swiftly severed Brought from within the haze So quick to shut the book of confessions So quick to resign and look the other way The premise of resolve, simply within reach But a reach beyond your reason Awakening from my sleep I find myself left in the cold We were one, a unity amongst chaos We held each other in light and dark Continue down your path And leave the smoke behind The ones close to you Left to ponder Bridges reduced to ash Far and wide, they burn Leaping from the infernos Eager to start new ones Who will be next? When will the next flint be struck? Relieved only by your ego Unaware of the torment you leave You were the pinnacle of me No longer You were my salvation No more Thrice I have been wounded By the touch of your blade A final jab through my heart Until nothing is left Steal the air from my lungs So that I may forget you forever
3.
The quandry of existence Everlasting adaptation, confusion Living souls who wish to conform, And the souls who choose the other path Fallible, we are Imperfect, weak The gift of life and death Fragility of the egoist Plaguing the weak-minded Failure to open the eyes Failure to see the scheme Damaging traits to your fellow man Lashing out and pushing away The pain inflicted, beyond the obvious Blinded by ego Your greed rings true Your strength may lie elsewhere But not here I welcome those who realize And I shall banish the false-willed Drowning in yourself
4.
You have lit for me a beacon Set to guide me, to transcendence When I arrived it was a lie And now behind me, a trail of ruin I will fuel the fading stars Bring from high a searing light Set to guide you, now to blind you Curse the child of the night With each step that I have taken I have trodden over virtue You have led me up a mountain So that you could watch me fall I am famine I am spite I am dark Leaving light I am rest I'm the end I am ruin Vindication for your soul Scathing rays Rake your skin Kiss of death Let it in I will fuel the fading stars Bring from high a searing light Set to guide you, now to blind you Curse the child of the night Scathing rays rake your skin Kiss of death, let it in Set to guide you, now to bind you Curse you, child of the night Is the final teaching done, When the two become just one? Will I raise another son, To be the hate that I've become?

Ink runs dry Is there nothing left to write I'm static, I'm frail Each day, dead time I recall blank faces Silhouettes I didn't care to know Somehow they're even more distant Memories buried far from home If I'm mute When I cry If there's no one To tell truth from lie Will these echoes Simply die A fleeting thought A fading sigh Outside the winds are quiet Water is stagnant on the ground It seems as though the world has stopped Is it the world or is my mind collapsing Each day I'm waiting Waiting for something to change But longing is the only feeling That's growing every day If I'm mute When I cry If there's no one To tell truth from lie Will these echoes Simply die A fleeting thought A fading sigh Are all my days doomed to simply pass by With nothing but the wind to hear each cry I am a ghost I am a whisper

The bells that ring From spires so grand Do they reflect your god? This fading sun When it dies down Will with it die your god? My lifeless friend Did you pass on The scriptures of your god? Or were they just A veil surrounding The voyage of your heart? Tell me (tell me) Tell me What do you see in the dark What do you feel in the numbness When your breath left this place Did it arrive at an ocean Maybe a mountain to rest on Or a valley to sleep Was every dream that you had Fulfilled with hallways of gold Was every nightmare that plauged you Crucified to let die And do you hear the bells ringing Do you remember your homeland Or have we lost you in flesh And also lost you in mind Tell me (tell me) Tell me What do you see in the dark What do you feel in the numbness Was your belief that of a being Or of a vision, of a yearning Surely death cannot steal That one last ripple of life
