Et benedicta tu, o fortes, ut sicut aura spiritus amoris, ut pedibus et gladius celer, memento amator, precor ut redeat ad eam

Awake, but dreaming, lost in a void
So high, but falling, dying inside
You wander through hourglass sands
Until they're still forever


Bittersweet, you're with me now, but I know that you'll soon be gone
Hard to breathe, the pain right now was happiness then
Mystery, what is the reason? What are we living for?
You're my victory, until we're crushed from dust to dust


So fragile, your tenderness
I ache for something I'd never wished
You haunt my thoughts, creating your shadows
Until the darkness covers


Before I follow the light
Before my life flashes before my eyes


As sand falls, the pile it builds my soul now crushed, I no longer feel.
Eyes grow heavy as shadows consume, breath now empty, I welcome this tomb.

Before I follow the light
Before my life flashes before my eyes


Wind surrounds me, as grains release the ground now empty, my person deceased.
Darkness it falls, to shadows of night, hourglass shattered, the final sight.


Bittersweet, you're with me now, but I know that you'll soon be gone
Hard to breathe, the pain right now was happiness then
Mystery, what is the reason? What are we living for?
You're my victory, until we're crushed from dust to dust

With words like gentle breeze, your voice caresses me
As the sun goes down, I fall into a dream
I stand upon the shore
And the boatman's coming closer


In the silence of eternity, If I'm carried across the darkened sea come face to face with my reckoning, will our hearts be true?


I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you
I I will wait for you......At the ferrymans shore


I'll wait for you at the ferryman's shore
I'll not cross over, I won't succumb to Charon's oar
I won't surrender at the ferryman's shore until the day your hand's in mine once more
at the ferryman's shore


With hopes like falling stars, I feel it in my heart
I never would forget the burden of regret
I have to stand my ground when the boatman stares me down
In the silence of eternity, If I'm carried across the darkened sea come face to face with my reckoning, will our hearts be true?


I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you
I I will wait for you At the ferrymans shore

I'll wait for you at the ferryman's shore
I'll not cross over, I won't succumb to Charon's oar
I won't surrender at the ferryman's shore until the day your hand's in mine once more at the ferryman's shore

Child your final ride beckons, walk with me now to eternity

If you're bound for the fields of Elysium where heroes go to rest
I'll never rest until I go there as your heroine
Elysium, Elysium

Over end

Love and life....sorrow and death....take my hand....your final ride

I am the ferryman

Blades of truth passing through
Sometimes it's hard to find the answers, search within you
Sometimes you think you'll never make it, perseverance
Hold onto the one who breathes for you
Everything you can imagine, do you remember
Everything you swore to live for, till your last breath?

Is this worth fighting for....
You said you'd never surrender
Tired my pride is beaten....
even when walls close in
Perhaps my vow is now broken....
You said you'd always remember
Pride destroyed should I return....
The one who waits for you

Facing truth in the silence, deep within
Perseverance
Eternity in a moment, time stands still
Perseverance
Every time you close your eyes, see the reasons in disguise
Perseverance
Find your strength before it dies, perseverance
Perseverance

Body bloodied I feel nothing....
When daylight fades into darkness
Pain non existent it's gone....
Dream of another day
Valor the will to survive....
Searching the stars for an answer
Destruction fills my bloodshot eyes...
Remember who you are

Facing truth in the silence, deep within
Perseverance
Eternity in a moment, time stands still
Perseverance
Every time you close your eyes, see the reasons in disguise
Perseverance
Find your strength before it dies, perseverance
Perseverance

Vision...Blinded...Gone...Battle rages on
Listen
Shadows...Engulf...Enshroud...Fatigue drags on
Let me call you home
Temptation...Beckons...Me...I answer the call
Ahh..
I...Will...Overcome...I can conquer all
When the winter's gone


Blades of truth passing through
Sometimes it's hard to find the answers, search within you
Sometimes you think you'll never make it, perseverance
Hold onto the one who breathes for you
Everything you can imagine, do you remember
Everything you swore to live for, till your last breath?

I feel you are near me, although you have been gone
A chill runs down my spine as the leaves rustle around me
And the leaves glitter gold

You are still with me, although we don't speak
Life's hand dealt this fate again
Will we ever meet?

Your eyes are haunting, the scars, they run deep
Your smile, it cuts me, my heart you keep
The strings that bind me, won't set me free
Your eyes are haunting, and write this tragedy

I fight to live again, my soul to be set free
To live without regret and release your memory
Your haunting eyes
My prison is my pride, seems so very strong
Been living in the past now for far too long
Your haunting eyes

The tragedy that bestows me, the fear of being alone
The pain that enshrouds me, the realization
You're now gone

These chains won't release me, although I fight every day
What happened to my ability, can't live my life my way
Anymore

Your eyes are haunting, the scars, they run deep
your smile, it cuts me, my heart you keep
The strings that bind me, won't set me free
Your eyes are haunting, and write this tragedy

I fight to live again, my soul to be set free
To live without regret and release your memory
Your haunting eyes
My prison is my pride, seems so very strong
Been living in the past now for far too long
Your haunting eyes

I make my own rules now, I make my fate
These chains that once bound me were my weakest trait
Now I'm in control, I hold the key
I'm no longer trapped, I've set me free

Your eyes are haunting, the scars, they run deep
Your smile, it cuts me, my heart you keep
The strings that bind me, won't set me free
Your eyes are haunting, and write this tragedy

I fight to live again, my soul to be set free
To live without regret and release your memory
Your haunting eyes
My prison is my pride, seems so very strong
Been living in the past now for far too long
Your haunting eyes

I fight to live again, my soul to be set free
To live without regret and release your memory
Your haunting eyes
My prison is my pride, seems so very strong
Been living in the past now for far too long

Your haunting eyes
