ANTHEMS OF ISOLATION LYRICS

1. Fools' Paradise

Behind walls of silence
and a self-sustaining delusion
lies an embodiment of a deep sorrow

Suffocating the will of survival
A sunlight that blinds
A lie beneath dying worlds

Invisibly killing you from the inside
Silence, darkness.. and hidden fears
A smell of failure.. and rotting dreams

Under the creation of your fake reality
Your blue skies are fading to grey
Like a God-pleading prayer
Your attempt to escape the unescapable

2. Prisoner Of Present

As a tear drops off on his wrinkled face
looming visions of the past are passing, recalling his old days
Deep inside the lingering memories, long way back in time
Lies the smile that once was drawn on the face of an angel
He moans for the heaven that died, many years ago..
Starless nights.. never to dawn again
As he stares at the empty chair..
Living an undying delusion, the fulfilment of his past
Missing what he once had

the fulfillment of the past
a void cursed to last
In the ever darkened prison of present...
Desperation overcame..
The pain became part of him
A life spent trying to forget
A scar so deep that time couldnt heal..
With a heart filled with scorn upon this empty life
and the repeating echos of her angelic hymn
Nothing left to feel but the tormenting echos of the fallen heaven
He lies in silence
Vanishing..
Waiting for his days to end

3. Shelter In A Painful Escapism

To the land of deceptive joy I escape
chased by the past's haunting shadows
Intentionally I fall into the beauty of a fake world
In a nostalgia-like state, I long for... a torment
that lies beneath a shroud of delusions

My haunting shadows...
In you I seek a trace
For Im deluded by my own sanity
Yesterday's realities are the imaginations of tomorrow

In a lies-filled emptiness..
Under the dominion of hopelessness..
Drifting to the day the light shivered
Living the denial, resisting the acceptance

[spoken]
the land of joyous deception

My haunting shadows...
In you I seek a trace
Decept me
Drown me in lies
Take me away ..where I belong
away to that land.

[spoken]
But.. still I wonder, over again..

Should I stay there and bear that pain ?
Or should I run away from my own escapism ?

Have you ever felt you can escape yet still imprisoned ??
Have you ever been aware something's poisoned yet still want to taste it ??

A life is lost..
A future.. foretold and dead
The daylight will not return
No.. will not return
And the kingdom of the past shall reign forever..
