Who is this man I see?

And why does he run from me?

A dim light awakens inside

As the clouds grow somber

Into these bleak skies I hail

Until I know myself

A silent dream of love I see

Blessed hope betray me

Son of madness, creation of woe

What is this life that I’m forced to know?

Behind the ashes a dying fire burns

If not a man locked behind these bones

These blissful souls I see

Why do they run from me?

Upon a moonlit lake

Tragedy reflected

Into these bleak skies I hail

Now that I see myself

The shattered dream of love I bleed

As the darkness takes me

Son of madness, creation of woe

What is this life that I’m forced to know?

Behind the ashes a dying fire burns

If not a man locked behind these bones

No home that I see

Before you left this dead heart beating

No love, yet I bleed

Locked inside this portrait of misery

Spawned in anguish, insanity bestowed

Rid me of this life I wasn’t meant to know

Cast aside, forgotten and alone

Fiend from above don’t forsake my soul

Into these bleak skies I hail

Until I know myself

A silent dream of love I see

Blessed hope betray me

Father, direct me

Am I to be your progeny?

This world rejects me

And I reflect its misery
