What do you think your life is worth? Born hollow yet nothing lost You're just a shade of your own mind Wandering alone, yet bound tight As nothing's been, nothing will be Chained to the will of breaking free You dwell in searing solace To mute away your silence Years fall apart, tears crumble to dust Still blood fades away, cold bones crush in vain Skin turns into stone, long breaths die alone Struggling in dismay, empty shells of clay Clouds that bring the storm Come to numb your growl Up from your knees you stand tall As you see them go Years fall apart, tears crumble to dust Still blood fades away, cold bones crush in vain Skin turns into stone, long breaths die alone Struggling in dismay, empty shells of clay Struggling in dismay, empty shells of clay

The keeper of shadows has joined Shield your eyes from his claws, throw your thoughts in the coil Succumb to his empty calls For he is the vessel to accept what you've brought The incandescent truth of his longing words Roams in the haze of your burning oath Drenched in the darkness soon to be gone As a short reminiscence of what he once owned Feed the blaze with covert wishes Let them linger in the light Neither smoke, nor dust, nor ashes Let them guide you through the night As the sun engulfs the skyline Shed your skin and shed your outline Step into the warm embrace Lose your fears and lose your face The embers in profane disguise Descend into your eyes with a withering shimmer The ardent billow of faith Is slowly lifting the despair with its glimmer No longer a servant of the obscure halls, A perpetual drifter in his undying world Endure the curse of the stained glass As the darkness grows stronger so you must see past Feed the blaze with covert wishes Let them linger in the light Neither smoke, nor dust, nor ashes Let them guide you through the night As the sun engulfs the skyline Shed your skin and shed your outline Step into the warm embrace Lose your fears and lose your face A faint warmth crawls into your eyes Blind, you reach for its source, numb, step out of the fire Surrender your last desire Ashes surround your past self, cleansed, your thoughts will stray higher The stars, the ground and time itself Kneel at the sight of the sovereign of flames Bestow your endless craving upon them Have them sacrifice their light, life and realm Feed the blaze with covert wishes Let them linger in the light Neither smoke, nor dust, nor ashes Let them guide you through the night As the sun engulfs the skyline Shed your skin and shed your outline Step into the warm embrace Lose your fears and lose your face

Hope for worse, but never linger All is set, yet all is withered As you'll never remember, you'll never forget The mistakes that have brought you, the days you've well met Your sufferance must not abate Your foibles have to be repaid Your repentance is futile, vindication is gone Only anguish embraces what can't be undone Devoid of any glint of hope Concede your end, welcome your loss Let their gaze protrude your mind There's no mercy in the light Snuff out the yearning, let it be your loss You have been denied forgiveness for what they believe is wrong Bear with the resonance of your grieving thoughts You are the embodiment of self-induced prevarication Break down the longing as it burns and aches They have made the horrifying act of glancing at themselves You are the outcast of their receding blame Convey the representation of their self-abhorrent shame Uphold the truth, respect their ego They won't fight their own demeanor By trying to shelter, you hurt even more Present the surrender of your own repose You've cherished their replete demands Your only choice was to comply A small slip of judgement, the moment you've failed Has set the firm label of a throwaway You are now to be disposed of Nothing can restore their love Forlorn by those you've forfeit for Submit to the loathing you must bear alone Snuff out the yearning, let it be your loss You have been denied forgiveness for what they believe is wrong Bear with the resonance of your grieving thoughts You are the embodiment of self-induced prevarication Break down the longing as it burns and aches They have made the horrifying act of glancing at themselves You are the outcast of their receding blame Convey the representation of their self-abhorrent shame Actuality portrays the aim No other answer can prevail You get what their conviction calls As ignorance decides your laws You were a mere source of joy Yet the main object of their bane You are to suffer for their flaws Yet you're the only one to blame Snuff out the yearning, let it be your loss You have been denied forgiveness for what they believe is wrong Bear with the resonance of your grieving thoughts You are the embodiment of self-induced prevarication Break down the longing as it burns and aches They have made the horrifying act of glancing at themselves You are the outcast of their receding blame Convey the representation of their self-abhorrent shame

I come from afar, I'm chained to the stone The heat of the shore is luring me home But I stray from the cliff In the depths I'll only find peace Clouds hurl above and death lurks below The only escape is the eye of the storm I will forget I have missed At last I'll be able to sleep The time has come and I'll never be free I'll carry this burden for the rest is all Dust upon my dreams As I collapse I won't take my last breath I'll keep it forever for the rest is all Dust upon my heart The rain won't stop, I'm heading to ruin The ship came apart left me facing my peril The land has vanished from sight And so did the last glimpse of light Wind breaks my skin, the cold numbs my soul Feel the rocks underneath but I'm not letting go I will lay encaged in the wreck Let my haven be the sail The time has come and I'll never be free I'll carry this burden for the rest is all Dust upon my dreams As I collapse I won't take my last breath I'll keep it forever for the rest is all Dust upon my heart Ceasing the pain will not set it free It is trapped in the weight of an unending sea Unable to rest, nor able to weaken All its cries are in vain, all its struggles are hindered The cold will carve its way to my chest But my heart will ablaze, as I'll never be past I am the one that skulks in the abyss Since the waves will not wash away my fears As I collapse I won't take my last breath I'll keep it forever for the rest is all Dust upon my heart

Held by never-ceasing gusts they roam In your sight they blend with all you've known Feeding on your breath they stir and soar As your tears fall to fight their fold Will they ever perish in their rove Will you find the means to halt their horde With their presence blurring all your thoughts Will you join them later with despite Hear them out, they won't remember All the burdens they have levered Keep their memory within you Mourn, as you corrode together Live their deaths they won't surrender Wandering the world in swarms Brushed away by all that matters Witness their remains unfold Streams of light descend upon their rows Parched and broken they squander all the glow Drifting over endless, barren soil Their surge drains the verve forevermore Will the nothingness empower all That has strayed away from their mute lore When you'll end yourself among their ranks Will you find a way to speak your past Hear them out, they won't remember All the burdens they have levered Keep their memory within you Mourn, as you corrode together Live their deaths they won't surrender Wandering the world in swarms Brushed away by all that matters Witness their remains unfold See a part of every doleful soul At each glimpse of matted, dreary flames See a shapeless veil engulfing all That still has a shape, therefore a face Don't shed light on their defective form Nor their sullen, sunless, silent ways They won't part from what they've claimed their own If you blow them out they'll stop your breath Hear them out, they won't remember All the burdens they have levered Keep their memory within you Mourn, as you corrode together Live their deaths they won't surrender Wandering the world in swarms Brushed away by all that matters Witness their remains unfold

Everlasting fear of darkness Have you conquered all of us? Our ancestors are wailing For their legacy is dust Long forgotten, disregarded Chronicles of time to come Will you wither with their knowledge Like the brightness of the sun The sight of broken branches, rotting roots and dying leaves Brings forth their senseless shadows, resting on their bloodied spears Enveiled by countless stories of hope in death by their own hands They are the mist of mourning that will always haunt our past Walls of stone collapsing By the weight of life Passed only by the ones who Slain, for they will rise Fights in vain for us to witness Horrors of abiding times Have you lost your dreadful relish In the stronghold you'd confined Where's your fire? Where's your wisdom? Have you vanished from our hearts Are we still their humble children? Bound by their eternal trust The sight of broken branches, rotting roots and dying leaves Brings forth their senseless shadows, resting on their bloodied spears Enveiled by countless stories of hope in death by their own hands They are the mist of mourning that will always haunt our past All has faded from this fastness Bloodless ditches, worn out limestone Long deserted by the blessing In the ichor of the Dacians See their sanctuary corroding Flooded by their grieving streams Acumen of joyful sorrow Let us never carry shields The sight of broken branches, rotting roots and dying leaves Brings forth their senseless shadows, resting on their bloodied spears Enveiled by countless stories of hope in death by their own hands They are the mist of mourning that will always haunt our past
