Further from the Grey Lyrics


Ancient mirror, please show to me the other side

Show me who looks into this world

From my tower in shadowed Utherspairn

I see a world of lies on earth

Staring back at me, unwittingly

A lone and disaffected youth

I can see in this boy's eyes, this isolation

Living in a world without a voice

I cast my spell to scry this one as he wanders from the screen

Out of wonder for this wonderless life I’ve seen

He turns away and leaves the room for the open air

And starts to walk along the road his thoughts on despair

The skies are grey the road is black

Thundering steel chariots are zooming past

and in his clouded mind, I can’t help but see

Another self, a younger weaker mirror of me

His mind is clouded

With hate for life

He walks to kill it

To reclaim his

Sanity

Miles away and still he

Won’t turn back

Until fatigue reclaims his mind

I too was once a human, alone in drive and passion

But now I’ve left that life behind

Vowed to the churning darkness, unhinged from mortal morals

Ecoas Darcmar, since necrourgy took my life

I’m looking in as he walks away

Just to get further from the grey

Can’t shake the feeling someone's watching me

as I walk along the street

7 miles of highway, and I’m not turning back

Till darkness comes to rescue me, from insanity

I’m looking up as I walk away

Just to get further from the grey

The dark is not pure, for purity life defies

But in this life I let the moon suffice
