Sick and faded, he rested his weary head
Fighting a sleep he knew would never have an end
Full of strife, every detail of his emptiness
Had brought this wretched room further to life

Nothing gained, he's chasing tomorrow
On the pyres of his regrets
Nothing gained, he's chasing tomorrow
Nothing gained, nothing gained

I'm so far away
I'm so far from home
I'm so far away
I'm so far from home

Delirious now, he rings out his weary hands
No one to share the dismal air of death
In his final moments, time ceases to matter
Grey and withered the catacombs call

Say your prayers
Lend me your vespers, they sooth my ears
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

These walls haunt me more than ghosts ever have!
She says she wants me? Then come and take me, then!
A coward's stance or I'd have ended this
The Echoes of unfinished everything!

My shadow grows long
My mind has come undone
Finish me, finish this
Where are you death?

Sick and faded, he rested his weary head
Fighting the sleep he knew would never have an end
Full of strife every detail of his emptiness
Had brought his wretched room further to life

ENOUGH!
Psychopompos guide my soul
LEVIDO RETICULARUS!
Marks my skin, marks my soul

Here I stand
To claim what is mine
Queen of the damned
Darkness and time

No mortal grasp
No one turned away
In death we are equal
In death, we will stay

Here I stand!
The greatest hope
The great equaliser
The queen of the lost

Delirious now, he wrings out his weary hands
No one there to share the sweetest scent of death
He tells me in the mirror with his dimming breath
To hold him close and never let him go again

We danced and danced in emptiness
We cried and cried for hours on end
But here he stands defenceless
Against my ever-growing grasp

Let me take you far away from here
To a place where nothing else exists
Here you'll be mine forever in emptiness
Nothing to ever let go again

A light dimmed and faded from the sky
Malice it formed in the strife of what transpired
Craters formed right where we fell
Will we get back up?
Waiting
Waiting
In the dark

Dying and alone
My roots are buried deep
But here among the thorns
The climb is much too steep
The sky holds our purpose
But Earthborn, we're bound
But we'll persevere
Because we belong a long way from here

We refuse to fail
We refuse to fail
Refuse to lose to their hateful ways
Their cross high above us
But salvation has been long denied
No room for a peaceful resolution
Long gone is a hope for building any bonds

When you left me in the darkness
I had to make my own flames
A warmth you couldn't diminish
Or ever take away
And it brought me to life
Again

Now I stand upon the piles of your ashes
And I look upon the waves of coming flames

We refuse to fail
Refuse to lose to their hateful ways
Their cross high above us
But salvation has been long denied
No room for a peaceful resolution
Long gone is a hope for building any bonds

When you left me alone in the darkness
I had to make my own flames to survive

Rising
Burning
Consuming
Everything

A war broke out amongst them
And they blamed it on the dragon
Not realising it was their on nature
That would bring about their demise
Now they pray for rain
But I am the coming storm
They pray for forgiveness
But I pray for fire
See, there are no wounds
For you to gain salvation
The sky is black
And you are crowned with your mistakes
Persecution was the weapon that you wielded
You held us down in constant judgment and contempt

But now as night falls
The flames keep rising higher
I have no pity for the pain of your heartbreak
I rather we both go down destroyed together
Than leave a world for you to turn into regret

Broken glass and I am holding my breath
Hands are trembling
I thought today would be like any other
But the bell jars coming down
A sudden sinking and my heart is falling
Right down into the ground
I feel the panic inside overtaking
Any resolve I thought I'd found

On the ledge we danced, now we are falling
And the walls are closing in
When the darkness gathers, we are crawling
And the worms are coming in

My thoughts are racing and my heart is shattered
Like a bird caught in a cage
Like the sky that fights the storm from overtaking
The serene I thought I'd found
It waits for me
Oh, it never really left
It takes hold of me
And it drags me straight to Hell

On the ledge we danced, now we are falling
And the walls are closing in
When the darkness gathers, we are crawling
And the worms are coming in

In only a moment the tides have all changed
Erasing the work and toil of previous days
I lean into the void
That I always knew would come to reclaim my light

I have spent my whole life running
And I have tried, I have tried to flee from myself
I could never, no, I could never weather the storm
That was rising, rising, rising from within me
It doesn't matter the time in between

Darkness carved its mark in me
Carved its mark in everything
But I'm done, I'm done running
I stand in the rain
Here I stand
Purge my fear, and make my claim

[instrumental]

Now, being free, you are licentious and ruthless the same
Instigating, you're no object now summoning
A willful force, a new home to injustice
Experience now an excuse for the slaughering
A higher power, a righteous claim to rein
A prideful glance, a judgmental gaze
And it brings the weak to their knees
A delicacy of suffering
And nothing will ever take their pride away
You crave control
A willful force, a grave injustice
Killed by who you feared the most, the fool in the mirror
Where is the line drawn?
Between what you seek and what you need?
Is there meaning
To the constant pain and suffering?
What do you need?
Your victims only revered in death
Here we all play roles
Some of us just never leading
Are you happy?
And will you ever get enough?
Now, being free
You are licentious and ruthless the same
Instigating
You're no object
Now summoning
A willful force
A new home to injustice
Experience now an excuse for the slaughtering
A higher power, a righteous claim to rein
A prideful glance, a judgmental gaze
And it brings the weak to their knees
A delicacy of suffering
And nothing will ever take their pride away

They're coming for you now
(Coming for you now)
Coming to collect what you've taken
(What you've taken)
Coming to take you home
(To take you home)
Coming to dig your grave
(To dig your grave)
They're coming for you now
(Coming for you now)
They want what they once were denied
(What you denied)
Coming to collect their woes
(Collect their woes)
From upon your tainted shrines
(Your tainted shrines)
They're coming for you now
(Coming for you now)
Coming to collect what you've taken
(What you've taken)
Coming to take you home
Coming to dig your grave
(To dig your grave)
They're coming for you now
Coming to collect what you've denied
Coming to collect their woes
From upon your tainted shrines
Coming to take you home

Now, being free, you are licentious and ruthless the same
Instigating, you're no object now summoning
A willful force, a new home to injustice
Experience now an excuse for the slaughtering

A song in my heart
This tomb where I reside
Floral smells of rot
Gathered scattered flowers
Tirelessly, I'm always awake
Watching you in your dreamless sleep
Waiting for my end

The ground, it holds you in
An ocean of slumber
Forever you'll sleep
But I'm there too, dreading
The longing of those days gone by

For the colors of grace
I find them black and blue
But they were once much brighter
Now it's not the same, not the same
Can you hear the bells calling for you?

Cause' I had an earth once
I had a moon too
The sun
And the sun bore fireflies just for you
And the universe
And the universe shook to its core
And the colors of grace
They shone down on me

Now let me go
Say no more, say no more
(Say no more, say no more)
Let me go... into the sea

Let me go
Say no more, say no more
(Say no more, say no more)
Let me go... into the sea

Let me go... into the sea
Say no more, say no more
(Say no more, say no more)
Let me go... just let me go

Today's a hurting day
No room for anything other than
The sting of failure and regret
The season aches to change
But hasn't yet

Patience turning to pain
I go back to bed to try and regain
Some sense of being OK
So much I want, but can't obtain

Holding on to everything you say
Cause' your words they paint a picture of me
A beautiful one of what I could be
If I'd simply learn to shake away the blame
You save me from myself
You save me from myself

I'm sinking and can barely breathe
Cause' the fear takes hold so deep inside me
These feelings overwhelming me
If only your warmth lasted me all day
You save me from myself
You save me from myself

Today's a hurting day
No room for anything other than
The sting of failure and regret
The season aches to change
But hasn't yet

Cause' I'm holding on to everything you say
Cause' your words they paint a picture of me
A beautiful one of what I could be
If I'd simply learn to shake away the blame
You save me from myself
You save me from myself

Today's a hurting day
No room for anything other than
The sting of failure and regret
The season aches to change
But hasn't yet

Patience turning to pain
I go back to bed to try and regain
Some sense of being OK
So much I want, but can't obtain

I breathe in these tattered woes
The autumn scent of a thousand scattered souls
Painted memories I trace the line etched in scars
Faded memories and jaded hearts

I mourn their time here and harvest arrives
The gathered bundles in coming winds
Their time here is through
Into the flames to be consumed

The colours change, the light becomes the dark
Sun washed now fades to a yellow hue
Much like time has come for them
With handfuls of earth I gather the leaves

Despite the fertile soil below
These leaves have no means for life
They can only be how they were designed
A blanket to the dampened ground
A safe place for the insects and bones

They can only be how they were designed

A veil to the earth below
A veil to the earth below
A veil to the earth below
A veil to the earth below

I breathe these tattered woes
The autumn scent of a thousand scattered souls
Painted memories I trace the line etched in scars
Faded memories and jaded hearts

The fires are lit, night is now drawing in
We've settled down to try and warm ourselves
Everything is dying now, only to be reborn
But now we must wait, the seasons can't be rushed

They flutter down like angels who've lost their wings
Does that mean that the hell is the ground on which we are standing?

The colours change, the light becomes the dark
Sun washed now fades to a yellow hue
Much like time has become for them
With handfuls of earth I gather the leaves

I know this road is dark
I know this road is treacherous
And I know this road is long
But it's the only road I know

I can stare at myself forever
And wonder where it all went wrong

Shadows cast along the road ahead
Fighting the prism of what is left
Because...

I know this road is dark
I know this road is treacherous
And I know this road is long
But it's the only road I know

So now where do I go?
Where do we go?

And where did it all go wrong?
It was never the time

Broken mechanism that guides me
To troubled waters

This machine that only wishes to fail
I am not alone

I've come to sever all amends
Along this lonely road I go

The night fades to the glory of the morning
But I'm no better than I was before
The light fights the dark from seeping further in

I know this road is dark
But it's the only road I know

Darkness (Darkness)
Engulfs (Engulfs)
All of (All of)
What's left (What's Left)

The night fades to the glory of the morning
But I'm no better than I was before
The light fights the dark from seeping further in
But it's not enough, it's not enough

A barren womb, reluctant barriers of the future
This empty tomb filled with poisoned seeds
Once giving life, trouble dwells here now

Careless tending, the fruit of lies and whims
These flowers wilting, full of things they didn't need
Petals seek the sun as ashes fall

Shedding our nature, a pale and shadowed love
Thorn in the garden, a hastened act of lust
Free falling you're most beautiful

The red flower, it's beauty blossoming
The chains of creation laid to waste
Upheld on an altar, a nest, a shrine
Oh, with Saturn's rejection
Are we truly defined?

No offspring will cast a shadow on her bloom
No masculinity will ever steal her womb
Long-standing, bending, aching stems
Unwanted seedlings, the soil takes your sin
Takes your sin

The red flower, it's beauty blossoming
The chains of creation laid to waste
Upheld on an altar, a nest, a shrine
Oh, with Saturn's rejection
Are we truly defined?
Oh, oh, with Saturn
Are we truly defined?
Oh, with Saturn's rejection
Are we truly defined?

Are we truly defined?

The 28th day
She'll be bleeding again
And in lupine ways
We'll alleviate the pain

Unholy water
Sanguine addiction
No silver bullets
A last blood benediction

It is her moon time
When there's iron in the air
A rusted essence
Woman may I know you there?

Hey wolf moon
Come cast your spell on me
Hey wolf moon
Come cast your spell on me

Don't spill a drop dear
Let me kiss the curse away
Yourself in my mouth
Will you leave me with your taste?

Beware
The woods at night
Beware
The lunar light

So in this gray haze
We'll be meating again
And on that great day
I will tease you all the same
