FATELESS TEARS LYRICS

1. Cages

[a. Captor]

[Instrumental]

[b. Captive]

The truth of the unwanted is
None will return for the deathbed blessing
Given by benefactors of pain
Those who will find the silence deafening

We’re born into this world alone
As children of fear we find
The unknown cages us

Did they never stop to wonder?
What would become of their own flesh and blood?
Could they not see what resonates returns
The knowledge inherent to bone?

Apologies are not handouts
Nor is love and unbreakable bond
The unfortunate are the unprepared
Betrayed when a straightforward seeming world strays

We’re born into this world alone
As children of fear we find
The unknown cages us

May the dying learn as we’re born knowing
To fear the unknown and the unseen
Did they our suffering devise
Were we denied for being children?
Born outside their design?

Did they never stop to wonder?
What would become of their own flesh and blood?
Could they not see what resonates returns
The knowledge inherent to bone?

Left wretched are those least desired
From the onset when opened are our eyes
As children of fear we find
The unknown cages us
Cages us

2. Mercury Dreams

Beneath it all, something furtive
Restless, pensive, tempted
Here lingers what is most dreaded

Under quicksilver skies
The forming undesired
Eyes for the ages gone
Liquid pools of pain

Behind a mind turned delusive
Doubtless ortive corrupted
False reality created

Under quicksilver skies
The forming undesired
Eyes for the ages made
Liquid pools of pain

Tattered shards of a psyche shattered
Life continues in the moments after
Malign phantasmal forms created by
Rends within a broken mind

Under quicksilver skies
The forming undesired
Eyes for the ages gone
Liquid pools of molten pain

Before a darkness adductive
Helpless, destive, disrupted
Drawn to depths by time undaunted

Under quicksilver skies
The forming undesired
Eyes for the ages gone
Molten pools of pain

A twisted soul trapped within a tortured mind
Tattered shards of a psyche shattered
Disquiet rends a broken mind

3. My Endarkened Self

Inert embers flare
Disquieting omens
Inimical portends
My psyche beware

Here no breath of life
Nor near end in sight
Released to the night
My endarkened self

Harrowed evermore
Descent to despair
As yet unaware
My then blackened soul

Here no breath of life
Nor near end in sight
Released to the night
My endarkened self

Tangled thoughts reflect
Some unknown nature
A desperate creature
This tortured aspect

Tangled thoughts reflect
Some unknown nature
A desperate creature
This tortured aspect

Here no breath of life
Nor near end in sight
Released to the night
My endarkened self

Innocence unbound
Dark dream reified
Midnight’s chosen bride
My revenant found

Where no breath of life
The endarkened dwell
Where no breath of life
The endarkened dwell

4. Mind Box

Pain has chipped the mortar away
My prison bars are ready to give way
I choose to stay inside a self-made cocoon
More nurturing than suffering these mortal wounds

Afraid of a life too empty to abide
I pray I forgive me

A whole reduced to human husk
I feed my own damnation
Captive in terror, hostage to mistrust
I feed my own damnation
I pray you leave me where I lay

Dropping my guard, my mind unlocks
Something has breached these mental blocks
Keeping me prisoner to my past
Forswearing escape, I hold fast

Afraid of a life too empty to abide
I pray I forgive me

A whole reduced to human husk
I feed my own damnation
Captive in terror, hostage to mistrust
I feed my own damnation
I pray you leave me where I lay

Out of desperation
There is no hesitation
Only resignation

Echoes of evocation
No silent convocation
For my own damnation

Afraid of a life too empty to abide
I pray I forgive me

A whole reduced to human husk
I feed my own damnation
Captive in terror, hostage to mistrust
I feed my own damnation
I pray you leave me where I lay

Seeing myself forever inside
I feed my own damnation
Wherein my darkest secrets bide
I feed my own damnation
I pray you leave me where I lay

5. Since Nascence

[a. Daughter of Silence]

Abraded spirit left on edge
Afflicted to relieve ennui
Abandoned to the elements
Ravaged

Daughter of silence

Bound in silver strands since nascence
Each year forging another link in the chain of life
Some stay pure while others
Become tarnished over time

Tempest inside a cracked vessel
Token of a shattered visage
Telic rage in hidden vestige
Awakened

Daughter of silence

Bound in silver strands since nascence
Each year forging another link in the chain of life
Some stay pure while others
Become tarnished over time

Innocence reclaimed removes the human stain
Of entities ingrained all purity profaned

Daughter of silence

Bound in silver strands since nascence
Each year forging another link in the chain of life
Some stay pure while others
Become tarnished over time

She hears your words
Knows them for lies
So she remains selectively silent

[b. Daughter of Denial]

Fear at freedom’s last threshold
Fever visions of tomorrows
False bright dreams of transformation
Untenable

Somewhere inside a quiet strength resides
Quiescently awaiting a spark of life long denied

Pushed beyond the point of breaking
Pressed in lightless places blind
Palpable terror becoming
Unbearable

Somewhere inside a quiet strength resides
Quiescently awaiting a spark of life long denied

Innocence reclaimed removes the human stain
Of entities ingrained all purity profaned

Daughter of denial
Daughter of denial

Watching shadows on the wall shift
Waiting for footfalls on the stairs
Wanting to fade away somehow
Untouchable

Somewhere inside a quiet strength resides
Quiescently awaiting a spark of life long denied

She hears your words
Knows them for lies
Yet she remains selectively silent

Daughter of denial

[c. Mother of Deception]

[Instrumental]

[d. Father of Condemnation]

Drawn in then drawn down
Where light can’t burn away the tarnish
Burn it away
Tattered shards of spirit self
Binding her to nothingness
Fading into shadow
Cursed among the damned

Aftermath in afterimage
When evil stirs within secure wall’s confines
Sorrows cast shadows unbroken
More than meets a blind eye

Innocence reclaimed removes the human stain
Of entities ingrained all purity profaned

Afterthought’s aftereffect
When fear responds again recurs hell refined
Lost soul left hallow and made then
Withered ghost denied

Drawn in then drawn down
Where light can’t burn away the tarnish
Burn it away
Tattered shards of spirit self
Binding her to nothingness
Fading into shadow
Cursed among the damned

One hand to hold her down
Disassociate
But none to keep her here
Disconnect
Shackled to empty spaces
A vessel of anger

Innocence reclaimed removes the human stain
Of entities ingrained all purity profaned

Drawn in then drawn down
Where light can’t burn away the tarnish
Burn it away
Tattered shards of spirit self
Binding her to nothingness
Fading into shadow
Cursed among the damned

She hears your words
Knows them for lies
Yet she remains selectively silent

6. Mesmerized

Safe in your bed when sleep overcomes you
Do you yearn for insensibility?
Seeking a refuge amidst the chaos
Consciously escaping reality

Do you resurface from a dark daydream?
Choking on someone else’s stifled scream

Does the apprehension come from outside
Or does the dread come from in your own mind?
Looking at the world through another’s eyes
Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized

Do you wake as screams shatter the silence?
Held captive to nightmares of things to come
Chilled to the bone, shaken to the core
Wishing for the solace of oblivion

Do you awaken from a reverie?
Remembering something you’ve never seen

Does the apprehension come from outside
Or does the dread come from in your own mind?
Looking at the world through another’s eyes
Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized

When you fall asleep do you lose control?
Revisit places you’ve not been before
Do you cry for no apparent reason?
Do you sense that something is wrong?

Do you not see the other rising?
As it takes over everything

Does the apprehension come from outside
Or does the dread come from in your own mind?
Looking at the world through another’s eyes
Tantalizingly familiar, mesmerized

Touch, taste, sound, smell and something else
Somewhat outré but recognizable
On the brink of sight, drawn to the edge of night
Following a sylph into the unknown

7. Annwyn

Where forever beauty sleeps return

Annwyn

May to you a gentle breeze convey
All that time would not permit me say

Annwyn
Annwyn

If only words without answer
Could fill the enormity of never

Candles o’er dark waters set out to sea
Drifting towards Annwyn at tide’s last turning

Taken by slumber to dreams of you
Has left me broken more than new

Annwyn
Annwyn
