Shattered Hope - Absence lyrics



Tracks



01. Amidst Nocturnal Silence

Behold, a sinful tear
The one that shed with guilt
Follow this light upon my eyes
Days are passing by in grey

Erase all the feelings moaning in your mind
Amidst eternal promises of love and despair

Beware, hypocrisy comes infernally
Invades your helpless body
Poisoning your innocence
Like salt on your wounds

Tears your heart, drags you down
Fade into dusk
Eternal rain soaks your soul

Grey are the shadows
Follow them but don't believe
These fake illusions
Are everywhere when you grieve

Under this pale moon
Tonight I reign
In my kingdom of dust
Truth seems so vain

Your need for salvation
Stronger than any thought
An unknown destination
Proves you're such a fraud
Just a naked body
Lack of feelings, no sense
Buried from reminiscence

Empty eyes, full of blood
Staring nowhere, you can't hide

You die every time
Your truth becomes a lie

Tears your heart, drags you down
Fade into dusk
Eternal rain soaks your soul

Grey are the shadows
Follow them but don't believe
These fake illusions
Are everywhere when you grieve

02. Vital Lie

Your world is built by lies
Your reality's full of liars
Deep light before my eyes
There's no way to get in life

Your blind mind
Your eyeless soul
Waiting for the night
So grey at all

I stuck for a while
In this state of mind
Creating my own lie
This true, vital lie!!

No, I'm heading down
Towards this tragic ending
Never to be seen
Lost for this dream

Oblivion shatters my days
This land met no sunshine
Tired body slowly decays
Dry mouths begging for wine

Time will heal these wounds
Voices in your head
Whispering your name
The feeling remains the same

Consolation I found in fantasy
Morbid thoughts around my head
Seeking for this ecstasy
Emotions I've felt so dead

03. Enlighten The Darkness

Dead-moon rising
Enlighten the darkness of my soul
As it withers through ages
Waiting this empty dream

Black sky
Showing my fate, my dreams, my life
And I sigh as I walk in this dead path

Loveless heart cries in pain
All we shared has left me back
It will be no star in my sky
I'll never wish again
Same wish as ever
Same dream forever

Dry my lips with your kiss
Sweet and warm as always
This rain is killing me
Becoming one with my tears

Feel every single beat
Of my aching heart
You, my death

04. Yearn

My mind flies over the skies
Reaching the madness you'll never be
Escape this world and then I am there
Standing in front of you
Before the river
We once kissed goodbye

Reflections of the past
A few luminous marks
To reveal this dark of me

Beyond the stars
When all is blank
Half-moon dreams
Seem so lucid

Far away
Where death is real
Abysmal thoughts floating
Time will never heal you

Tonight you're my guest
To this suicide scene
Mirror never lies

When no hope is in sight
Let yourself crawl in time
And just look to a distant memory
Realize how it feels to be alive

05. A Traitor's Kiss

Only the few who gave their heart
Are able to ease their burden
So hard for anyone to recognize
Their precious love was kept inside
Listen to their whispering souls
Like a sweet melody
And take a journey through
Magic places of dawn

She was all his universe
And knew he'd never leave
His eyes reflect her image
A pain she'd never give
So close to her heart
She's given meaning to his life
Always there for her
Bleeding for her wounds
Scarred his permanent misery
Ruined cheerful daybreak

She sailed for another port
His fears became reality
Separated her way
Denied their own destiny
Moved away from his arms
One last kiss to remember
This entwined past
Love could never blossom

A tragic figure you are
Wounded in her apathy
Don't forget this kiss
That brought you into lethargy
You can't forgive her
As you always did
Your heart is missing
She's all you need

She sailed for another port
His fears became reality
Separated her way
Denied their own destiny
Moved away from his arms
One last kiss to remember
This entwined past
Love could never blossom

Now tears from her weeping eyes
A touch on her cold hand
Dark power in it
Ripped out your wings
But only for a moment
Every night depression it brings
Both Heaven and Hell in one
Yet a body so untouched
You lost your way somehow in her past
For how long this dream could last

06. Lament, In FMinor

Instrumental

07. The Utter Void

Give me a reason to believe
Tonight that sleep is so quiet
Invading my dreams again
Dark rainbow between me and you

Desire feeds my lust
Hopeless words echo my ears
There's no one I can trust
A river so cold of tears

Drown in fear, failed for your God
Seek for salvation, spill all your blood
Memories still erased, forever insane
So far away, melting in the rain

This feeling is being sacrificed
In the name of true love
Invisible all the right decisions
Slipping around me
Fading visions led by a star
A freezing wind came from very far

Why I have to face myself again?
One moment, one life, just one love
Like an angel came down to Earth
You're the worst nightmare I've ever had

Have you ever waited for something
So pointless for others but for you so deep

Waiting, waiting, waiting but nothing in the way
Please the time has come
This kind of love can't hold me back
So goodbye, I wish you luck

Deep within dark clouds of my life
I stand here alone
Under this moonlit sky
Holding hands with sanity

This feeling is being sacrificed
In the name of true love
Invisible all the right decisions
Slipping around me
And when is nothing left to scorn
You're embraced by this twilight cold
