2ND SUICIDE LYRICS

1. Epitaph For The Proud

We are devoid of all hope
From cradle to grave

I called out to Gods
And waited for the sign
The Gods are silent still
And the sign to be seen

The throne of Man
Bows to no lord
And pride swells within
And thus sickness is sown
Soon ripe and all abloom
For Lord and Lady, beggar and poor

[chorus:]
We have gathered here together
To see the Victor of the Earth
On his sacred brow, with great pride
He bears the crown
We have gathered here, forever
To see the Scepter that He holds
Without effort, firm as stone
O, His Hand did dethrone god

Once a morning is to dawn
With a terrible, whispered sigh
Loud as a thousand storms
An epitaph for the Proud

[chorus]

2. Garden Of Stone

A morning in the garden of stone
Abundant with shades of grey
Through hardship and misery she must pace

Endure, she has the world to face
By every thought worries awaken
In a shameful light the night
Will bring dreams of disgrace

Passion's Bane
A shadow of doubt here lies
Will she find a way
A narrow path under barren sky

Eve of the garden of stone
Weary of the weights of the world

No child of a paradise
On a path seemingly endless
Through the garden of stone
She treads on still
With a sullen will

Passion's Bane
A shadow of doubt here lies
Will she find a way
A narrow path under barren sky

The burden's got to be born
Yes the freedom's yours, it's the blame or thorn
Ever uncertain of what is to come
The world is boundless to the lost one

Still a destination looms just outside of reach
The countless turns are bound to lead somewhere

The burden's got to be born
Yes the freedom's yours, it's the blame or thorn
Ever uncertain of what is to come
The world is boundless to the lost one

3. The One Before Me

The one before me, she came
Calamity from the skies darkened
I am the one who follows her
I am twilight

All that was bathed in brightness anew
Hot as a thousand hells
All that was bathed in darkness anew
Not a soul to witness the silence

The one before me, she was
Bright, loud and full of noise
I am the Silent Shadow following
Come out of time

Fell out of time
From heaven's wake
Man to eternity

Fell out of time
For death to take
Man to eterntity

Aeons ago excistence
Came to an abrupt pause
Destruction from the heavens
Without a sound

Fell out of time
From creator's wake
Man to eternity

For our sin
For death to take

Man to Eternity

4. Oblivion

Heaven calls for the sinner
Hell awaits for the saint
Someone save the innocent
Turn the odds around

Purgatory ablaze
Granted no salvation
Home of the wicked on earth
The humble and the vain

Fall into Oblivion
Everlasting night
Fall into Oblivion
Into the night

Something is awaiting
Are you eager to see?
Shrouded in truth
Governed by the lies

Rise through the firmament
Cast your bearings aside
Nowhere is yon kingdom high
Nor the torment below

Fall into Oblivion
Everlasting night
Fall into Oblivion
Into the night

[chorus:]
Oh great architecht
Of infinite stature
Reign forevermore
On your throne of thorns
Watching the pedestal
With an ever-opened eye
Ever alert
A guardian of false hope
Bearing a mantle of despair

Despair

[chorus]
