lyrics

LAST NIGHT IN A DREAM AS HOURS THEY GREW DARK,

SOMETHING WAS AWAKENED IN ME.

SLOWLY CAME DESCENDING – VEILS TO SEAL MY HEART

AND SHOW ME JUST HOW BLACKENED LIFE CAN BE.

SHADOW OF A MAN I HELD WITHIN MY HAND,

LOST IN GRIEVING SILENT AND DEEP.

NOTHING SEEMED REMAINING OF THE MASTERPLAN

AND NOTHING LEFT THAT MOMENT BUT TO WEEP.

GOING DOWN A STAIRWAY OF THE BLIND

WHERE ALL STORIES DO COLLIDE.

BURNING BRIDGES LEFT BEHIND –

ASHES THAT MY SENSE WOULD ONCE DIVIDE.

BLEEDING, SEEKING DEPRAVITY THROUGH LIGHT,

LOSS OF PURPOSE, WEAK DEFENCES.

THERE, BEHIND THE GREY OF NIGHT,

WISHES FAIL AT LAST TO LIFE ENTRANCE.

THROUGH THOSE MANY YEARS OF LONESOME

HIDDEN SMILES,

CLARITY SAW NOTHING AS REAL.

SUFFERING, PRETENDING, STREAMS OF POOR

DISGUISE

WERE POURING DOWN FROM HEAVEN WITH

MY TEARS.

MOVING THROUGH THE DARK I BROKE MY ONLY

CRUTCH –

NO MORE SELF-BETRAYAL CONCEALED.

HARMONY DECEIVING, OUT OF HUMAN TOUCH,

WAS FADING AS ITS SECRETS WERE REVEALED.

MY FINAL WORDS, FINAL WORDS –

HOW SUBTLE THEY REMAIN.

EVERYONE LIES SHATTERED –

NO PROMISES TO KEEP.

FINAL WORDS STILL UNHEARD

SPEAK OF HOLLOW PAIN.

DOES IT REALLY MATTER –

SUCH I WISH TO SLEEP…
