Soul Shackles Lyrics


Open your eyes

You are my hope

Open your eyes

You are the glory of god

blessing in your heart

for your sacrifice

ravens in the sky

from your eyes

pierce the observed world

landscape in your dreams

crystallized with frost

The world stands upon ruins

Steel beams decay with the passage of time

I gaze upon your phantom

Becoming a fading counterpart

They say

That sacrificing noble blood

Can awaken the mercy of the three moon goddesses

Yet all I see is death drawing near

I do not know the cause of your death

Nor do I blame the villagers who handed you over to me

I see you lying alone inside the cave

Your face reflected in the icicles

An icicle falls piercing the heart

Offering the soul to the empty earth

Here you rest

Though you may be reduced to scattered bones

I will still remember you

All things in this world are born and perish endlessly cycling

One day I will fade as you did

Ethyrid will fade just as we do

The legend of the raven

shall ultimately vanish with the chilling wind

Innocence and purity

disappear in the flood of time

Fleeting

Ideals and hopes

shattered by the cruelty of reality

I miss that period of good times

But I know

All of this has come to naught

All this is a price that must be paid

God seemed to say to me

Order

I have been seeking recognition

throughout all my life

But in the end

I only lie on a cold sickbed

The moment I sold my ideals to"it"

The will has been shattered

So go

The moment I sold my ideals to"it"

I thought I heard you say to me

"Farewell"
