Fate has demanded the sentient To carve a piece in time All resistance is felt from the consciousness The constancy failing in jest Emptiness woven, I peer beyond the ending You're searching the darkened skies for signs of life The somber lie that has paralyzed As memories flash with searing pain The echoing of death winds repeating again The vanishing point has been left in the wake of that year The year that truly changed it all Forever changing all Levelling all defences down – I falter like withering leaves Clandestine grave of departed youth Body and soul set to the dying time Becoming one with the season – becoming the fall The honour – the martyr Made to never change Disengage the ending Laid to rest This pain seems never ending As you stare into the depths of my heart Do you see what you came looking for? For I am no longer there You'll find that existence is fleeting As you stare into the depths of my soul An existence withheld, for it was never there
