Drifting in the celestial realm Before me an open door One last wreck shall overwhelm I hope to find you once more I'm stung by the hurled sand and the broken shells on the shore Carving lines on my face where there were none before Shape me an altar from the cliffs of my crippling madness Stone by stone tear down my fortress Hear my lament It's my final cry on this earth To hell-fire I'm sent My voice has become a fading echo Far off beneath the dark blue waves is a promise of sleep Unquiet are the graves of those for whom we weep The sea of solitude reflects a pale image of the past Strewed denial lacerates as broken glass Nocturnal streams give birth to slack water And with great force lift me from the depths in Silence Where no sound may be Shadows are wandering free Idle grounds harbor the shrine of the faceless god bound to decline Vesper Night falls with his song The cold enters in Vesper Ssparrow of the dawn Abysmal ascension Morning rise a premature advent Seductive words that bolster my lament The crying shadow in the funeral dance Hellish visions of my withering prance Pristine clarity in the black Lost inside a reverie Thriving shadow on my back Resurgence of the tragedy Pompous scrutiny from envious eyes Sowing seeds of treachery Vast conspiracy for my demise The messenger of sorrow will then Drift with the acheron's flows Until I reach the other side The book tracing all my woes Is soon to be forgotten These pages filled with empty words slip out of my hand And disppear in the water At peace I lie on my back Facing the sky Waiting to see you again We are lost in a dream Trapped inside my own fantasy I've witnessed what I could not believe These liquid lines and shifting imagery Push back the stones of reality Shattered to pieces, I'm trying to hide This moment of weakness has torn me up inside Falling fast I didn't survive This is where I died I rose up far beyond the sky To peace I'm headed on the other side
