Your will could fell the sky

so I avoid meeting your eye

but I'm not sure that I'm that strong

I don't think that I can last that long

With the tide that held me down

the poison bleeding from your crown

Did you not think that you would miss

could you not see beyond this precipice

(ch)

When I feel my reason sliding down

When I feel my body start to drown

I had thought I'd find my place here soon

but the one who took my place is you

I may have done you wrong

to make you think that you belonged

I should have never thought you'd change

I should have known that I would get the blame

I wish I'd never seen your eyes

as I lay bleeding and despised

I knew you'd planned what you had done

like a battle that you've finally won

(ch)

When I feel my reason sliding down

When I feel my body start to drown

I had thought I'd find my place here soon

but the one who took my place is you

War, and a devil without a care

My human nature spared

Damnation that I dared

to see through

Hate, the lies that won't abate

The help that came too late

Eternity that grates

upon me

ch

And now that time has come so far

We built so high on broken dreams

And if reality should fail

We'll take refuge in the skies

Who won, the victors number none

The sleep that never comes

Can you see what you have done

to me now

Take, the promises  we make

So sure we'll never wake

Can you see me as you break

apart my mind

ch

And now that time has come so far

We built so high on broken dreams

And if reality should fail

We'll take refuge in the skies

May your eyes envelop me

their darkness keep me blind

Keep me from my nightmares

Save me from my mind

May your thoughts obliterate

the fears that hold me tight

Guide me through the memories

Help me to the light

(ch)

Oblivious

Holding onto shadows

that only fade into the night

So near and yet too far for me to reach

I reached so far

When will I find my freedom

This ghost that ever lives

When existence seems so futile

and nothing ever gives

(ch)

Oblivious

Holding onto shadows

that only fade into the night

So near and yet too far for me to reach

Lay comfort all around me

to cover my despair

Bring faith to put together things

beyond all my repair

(ch)

Oblivious

Holding onto shadows

that only fade into the night

So near and yet too far for me to reach

When the days are drawing in

As the blood is sinking

I try to cast my mind aside

but the clock is always ticking

All I hear is endless ticking

(ch)

And like a voice out of the blue

I'm filled with prayers and wisdom

And when my thoughts are clear and true

will rise the forgotten kingdom

I can't bring back the time we lost

All that's left is shadows

Expectant faces through the rain

Await the call, await the time

(ch)

And like a voice out of the blue

I'm filled with prayers and wisdom

And when my thoughts are clear and true

will rise the forgotten kingdom

(bridge)

The time has come to raise your eyes

To search for solace in the skies

No chance remains for the Gods' return

Just seek redemption as we burn

(ch)

And like a voice out of the blue

I'm filled with prayers and wisdom

And when my thoughts are clear and true

will rise the forgotten kingdom

The hammer falls with silent blows

The world is lost in shadows

Disconnected and left alone

Devoid of sight, time has me blind

(ch)

In our faith resides the key

not in buildings of beliefs

In our hearts, and one day

our pride will come

And in our strength, it's in our hands

We travelled far 'cross distant lands

Until we reached

Until we found our way

I ran forever to get to you

I ran through rain and thunder

And from intentions once clear and pure

come twisted sights, cast from my mind

(ch)

In our faith resides the key

not in buildings of beliefs

In our hearts, and one day

our pride will come

And in our strength, it's in our hands

We travelled far 'cross distant lands

Until we reached

Until we found our way

And with the end comes blind relief

We stand within Their wisdom

Tired and broken but not alone

I know this time, I've found my peace

(ch)

In our faith resides the key

not in buildings of beliefs

In our hearts, and one day

our pride will come

And in our strength, it's in our hands

We travelled far 'cross distant lands

Until we reached

Until we found our way

Standing alone in these four walls

Just a memory of what we had

The barren recollections of the life that was

An eternity lost in madness

I couldn't see what I had done

I was blinded to the pain

To hold you, just to feel your touch

and now I'll never love again

I see you in the night

I'm going down

I feel you in my mind

as I drown

I didn't mean to hurt you

I was blind

I didn't mean to kill you

I'm losing my mind

So now I remain here in this padded lonely cell

The silence overrun by my mind's demise

Dragged into darkness, the knowledge of what I've done

The voices in my head sing through my disguise

I see you in the night

I'm going down

I feel you in my mind

as I drown

I didn't mean to hurt you

I was blind

I didn't mean to kill you

I'm losing my mind

And now it's gone

A dream lost in a sea

of forgotten memories

Broken by the tide

of words that set me free

Can you remember

How it used to be

When the time comes

will words still fail me

When the time comes

will you be here

When the time comes

will all this be lost

When the time comes

will we know how it ends

Will we know how it ends

When the time comes

When the time comes

When the time comes

will we be free?

In amongst the fallen

the dishonored wait their turn

Emboldened with desires

to watch while heavens masses burn

With fire and rage consume them

Pitiless in the storm

To take the gates of sanctity

so they could be reborn

Broken by the enemy

alone in their defeat

Devoid of hope and waiting for

the shame of their retreat

Risen up glory less

they seek to gain revenge

They seek to regain all they lost

to bring about the end

They find their final resting place

in purgatory bound

Unending pain and torment

their peace remains unfound

(intro distorted voice)

As the sun melts into darkness

As the distance fades a shade of grey

As reality grows fractured

As we slowly fade away

(tempo change)

We held our breath so long

But the prophets never came

We rode uncertainty

So certain it would change

We filled our hearts with joy

and the promises gods made

But in the end it's all just dust

In this life none are saved

(chorus)

Time is slowly passing by

Tears are dried within the sun

To reach the clouds

And dance in the sky

But we are falling in deceit

Hoping for things that never come

that we cannot see

It's blinding us

Apathy and atrophy

Devours our limbs

Standing for so long awaiting

what our saviour brings

We know that nothing's different

Our amenities are few

We dreamt of greatness for us all

but dreams never come true

Time is slowly passing by

Tears are dried within the sun

To reach the clouds

And dance in the sky

But we are falling in deceit

Hoping for things that never come

that we cannot see

It's blinding us

I believe in instigation

I believe in contamination

I believe in degradation

I believe in self immolation

I work hard to earn the passes

Concentrate to build the masses

Close my eyes to take the lashes

Hold my breath for bright screaming gashes

I believe in instigation

I believe in contamination

I believe in degradation

I believe in self immolation

Heavens entrance simplified

To those that fled and those that lied

For those that went and those that tried

Were those that fell and those that died

Those who are left and those that grieve

Decaying wishes on dead winged leaves

Possessions lost to those that thieve

As now they leave to be retrieved

I believe in instigation

I believe in contamination

I believe in degradation

I believe in self immolation
