By the moonlight

I see your face

Shaped in the clouds

You call without a sound

You tried the night I left you

So small against the night

Said you could not live without this

That you could not make the fight

It came within a warning

But I did not see the signs

So tired and so defeated

I could not read between the lines

I read the words you left me

So heavy in my hands

Knowing I should have seen it coming

You tried to warn me of your plans

Would I have done things any different

If I had seen what you’d become?

Would I have told the lies you needed

Could I have changed what you have done?

I made the right decision

But it was you who took the fall

You died in fear and with uncertainty

But you cannot save them all

Only the words caress you now

There is no sound to hide the pain

No fortunes found

This point of light shows virtues ground, no sign of hate

In the place you held so dear

This is all we are

From the time we fell

We believed in nothing different

From the time we fell

This is all we are

And for all our time

We believed in nothing different

In the place you held so dear

From the time we fell

From the time we fell

We believed in nothing different

Only the tears to soothe you now, no comfort bound, no peace to find

In silence weeps, in dreams alive

Cry for the lost, cry for the found

Embrace the damned, succumb all that’s dear

In the place you held so dear

This is all we are

From the time we fell

We believed in nothing different

From the time we fell

This is all we are

And for all our time

We believed in nothing different

In the place we held so dear

From the time we fell

From the time we fell

We believed in nothing different

In the place you held so dear

This is all we are

From the time we fell

We believed in nothing different

From the time we fell

This is all we are

And for all our time

We believed in nothing different

From the time we fell

From the time we fell

In the place you held so dear

This is all we are

From the time we fell

We believed in nothing different

From the time we fell

This is all we are

And for all our time

We believed in nothing different

In the place we held so dear

From the time we fell

From the time we fell

We believed in nothing different

From the time we fell

From the time we fell

From the time we fell

From the time we fell

Salvation is coming this time

My own words won’t come back to haunt me

These sins, such a selfless crime

Are you my judge, my jury, my executioner?

(chorus)

I cannot breathe

Am I waking from a dream?

The pain it lingers here a little too long

I cannot wait

Fortune favors the brave

My ascension is coming, I will rise, I will rise

Salvation is breathing in time

My past will not come back to stone me

The evil I once felt inside

Never to come back and fill me

Interim silences, patience is tried

Bearing incompetence, strangers aside

Dealing with takeovers, bringers of lies

The gods in their element, screening the skies

In the land that teaches freedom, free men are crucified

In a time filled with magic and demons, mystics are mystified

In a world of disorder and chaos, the enlightened follow the lines

In attempts to escape from the leader, lives become entwined

(chorus)

The gods that are awakening

to commence the time of reckoning

No words bring absolution

on the day of revolution

(bridge)

The unsettled people murmured

as the rebels heads were severed

This once proud and peaceful land

nothing more than a master plan

(chorus)

With a people so scared of resistance, they furthered the frequency

of instilment of fear and deception, 'till the free men had no will to breathe

They buried their heads from injustice, shrouded denial and silence

'till death sought them out in their thousands, their screaming drowned out by the sirens

You thought you were the one who beat me

but darling you were wrong

I destroyed myself long before you

and lost where I belong

You thought you were the one who found me

but darling I insist

I walked this road so long it knows me

You can't find what's never missed

You thought you'd finally destroyed me

but darling I'm still here

Blistered burned and broken

from the fires you set so near

You knew you'd try to kill me

but darling don't be scared

You cannot kill eternity

but always I'm prepared

I thought you might have saved me

Maybe darling that once was true

But truth hurts for a lifetime

and for a lifetime I'll love you

Trapped inside this dream, the lies I can't perceive

Goading with impertinence with melancholy screams

Living with impunity, the trail about to end

Leading on uncertainty, my fractured feelings mend

(chorus)

Walking into sin

My eyes reveal nothing

Empty my fragility

Escaping secured moorings

Call the ships to anchor, my God a fearing blessings

Plagued by doubt and hidden by self-conscious window dressings

Seething animosity quickening the current

Calling forth the ancient ones to pacify the errant

(chorus)

Blinded by the waves that fall so stinging in my face

Choking on impunity diluting my disgrace

Pleading with the innocent, victims of mistrust

Drown in impropriety, sinking with the dust

(chorus)

Rising from the depths to see with blazing angry eyes

Staring at reflections to see what it belies

Dreams start to evaporate, dissolving into air

Revealing in an alibi, concealing what we dare

Descending into graciousness, fear averts my eyes

Choking on abandonment, unending my disguise

Our grief denounces countenance, endless my disgust

Reaching to the angels, crumbled into dust

(chorus)

Trapped inside my mind

This can't be all I am

Escape what makes me blind

Grieving with the damned

Lead me to the silent one, guide me with your presence

Arc of patience, violent one, illuminating crescents

Driving to insanity, watching my demise

Madness incorruptible, the will that I defied

(chorus)

Calling to the risen ones, prevailing upon panic

Scar the soul imperfectly, impatient rides the cynic

Shards of time suspending, separating lies

Excluding the serenity, indignantly reprised

(chorus)

Nailed to inconclusions, the pain upon my face

Consequences cheated, falling upon grace

Rise to meet adversity, the martyr to defeat

Abject virtuosity on scales of obsolete

It's breaking my heart, to see what I've become

Masochistic tendencies, second to none

Undergoing scrutiny, chill you to the bone

Sanctimony harmonizing, leaving you alone

(chorus)

Take me away from this

Protect me from the noise

Entropy defined

Translucently refined

The endgame is approaching

Violence encroaching

Just take me away

Get me far away from here

Glamorizing circumstances, backed into the wall

Taking your self-confidence, making you feel small

Throwing all I have away, the lies I can't conceal

Leave behind my consciousness, the truth I can't reveal

(chorus)

Take me away from this

Protect me from the noise

Entropy defined

Translucently refined

The endgame is approaching

Violence encroaching

Just take me away

Get me far away from here

Finality impending, these thoughts I can't reject

Move towards uncertainty, the all that I suspect

Blood runs through me, impulsive every move

Anachronistic feelings, can this yet improve

(chorus)

Take me away from this

Protect me from the noise

Entropy defined

Translucently refined

The endgame is approaching

Violence encroaching

Just take me away

Get me far away from here

Petrified in silence

Degenerating violence

Wrapped in sacred tombs

The lies that he presumes

To take the life of fantasy

Replace the bane of agony

Rescue me from emotion

From the depths of this black ocean

A tortured soul

A ruptured heart

Wrapped in wool

A bleeding scar

Glimpsed beyond the tirade

Accompanying the masquerade

Atoning for vengeance

Perpetuate compliance

Impending continuity

My life-force ingenuity

Charcoal kisses lingering

Self-containment wavering

A tortured soul

A ruptured heart

Wrapped in wool

A bleeding scar

Tending to the aftercare

The wounds remain unseen

Undisclosed yet permanent

This soul remains unclean

Screaming to the TV

Faces aged with care

You took my heart and made it weak

With you my life I'll share

Sacrilege painted on the faces of the brave

Entanglements fettered in silence

As sunlight fades at the end of the day

The quiet is broken by violence

The taming of the replicant

Whose thoughts you cannot see

A transcendental monument

For those that cannot be

He came to see the starving

He came to fight the meek

He came for blood and countenance

To terrorize the weak

Countermand the orders in the way

The fearless the brave and the fighters

Who would give their lives, their souls away

Defeating the feared inciters

(bridge)

The light fades now slowly

As peace is restored

Knowing now and hereafter

Will be fate evermore

The taming of the replicant

Whose thoughts you cannot see

A transcendental monument

For those that cannot be

He came to see the starving

He came to fight the meek

He came for blood and countenance

To terrorize the weak

Crawling through wastelands, a face without a name

Seemingly never to find him

As moonlight dies at the end of the night

Sealing pasts for our future to dwell in
