Embracing time lost from within

The soul feels black as you fall

Feeding the empty skin

Abyss through which I crawl

All the time I cannot get back

Dark my soul, seeing not the light

The odds against me, they stack

Hopeless I cannot fight

Taken it for granted

Seeing no more what I've lost

Burning pain as they chanted

Searching endlessly

Taken it for granted

Seeing no more what I've lost

Burning pain as they chanted

But for a cost!

Now I've said all my goodbyes

And walk the lonely road

Where all the angels cried

With crimson eyes

Now blind

Essence would flow on the stones

Were I not branded and burned

Alone now I fall to my bones

So quickly have all things turned

Why hath thou forsaken?

Only have I sought solace

Everything you have taken

One cannot give only malice

My downfall was my belief

Trusted in you blindly

Perhaps I should feel relief

For my fate came so swiftly

Colors fade to nothing

This traveler, doomed to perish

The edge sharp, cutting

Wounds deep that I cherish

Colors fade to nothing

This traveler, doomed to perish

The edge sharp, cutting

I find nothing left to relish

They chant louder

In dissonant roars

The pain subsides

But why

Why are they laughing

Now I've said all my goodbyes

And walk the lonely road

Where all the angels cried

With crimson eyes

Now blind

Essence would flow on the stones

Were I not branded and burned

Alone now I fall to my bones

So quickly have all things turned

They have turned

Turned!
