LAMENTATIONS LYRICS

1. Prodigal

Stolen are the embers that once burned through my soul
I have eaten the fruit and distance myself
My boundless thoughts they are free to wonder
But now possess a different fire

There is pleasure in this deviant state
A somber moment of little escape

Wandering
Emptiness
Prodigal
Deviance

This loneliness a companion by itself
The adoration of a complete demise

Serenity of pain
And the beauty in its downfall
Burn with the flame
Of true passions and desire

The path to walk alone
Renounce the love I always knew
Drink from the cup of love's fraud
Savor the depths of mourning

A frame regressed to fragility
Unveiling the weaknesses
I live through the pain
For I fear I will die in comfort

Serenity of pain
And the beauty in its downfall
Burn with the flame
Of true passions and desire

These burdens I will bear
Are merely just a task
A passage is made clear
In yearning to depart

Like leaves in the wind
Bending to a will
To the bitter end
Await for any return

2. Anew

The reign of adrenaline
Flowing through in aggressive waves
Burning time in a n hourglass
A living heart bleeding into the sand

I rest my thoughts
A fall to emotion
That gently dissipates
As I embrace the coming winds

On this blissful cliff
I stare at the abyss

Embody reflections
Every face of self-worthiness
I watch my dreams die
My vision foiled by the blackest of eyes

Righteous are we all
In this downward spiral fall

Fire in the eyes
Burning out my sight
Restless mind breaks free
A path with no divinity

Blinded,
Desperately searching for a new foundation
Silenced,
Choking of words breaking my speech
Broken,
Is the spirit of man shackled to his grave
Fighting,
The only way to end this pain

Poisoned,
Venom flowing though the mind
Severed,
With no ability to connect
Tarnished,
Lingering ghosts will never leave
Suffer,
Breathe in the dirt to bring my spirit anew

With aspirations to climb
Searching with a darkened sight
Dirt and dust intertwine
As I was set to decay

The turning of time
A fantasy I will lament
One soul less to find
In this dying place

3. Shiver

Nothing to embrace
In this dying place
As I shiver in the cold
Permeating to the bone
With nothing to lose
And nothing to hold
Such a bitter taste
The cold embrace

Gone are the days
Where ignorance plays
Childish dreams
Sew the fabric of heartache
Blessed with dreams
Cursed in death
The mind will rest
With one last breath

I walk with fire beneath my feet
Riding on the wave of strength
Control over everything I see
Unstable is this state
Once I fall, it will be a memory

A never-ending maze
The ecstasy I crave
Oh, the fleeting moments
Such a warm embrace
Whispers in a dream
Reality it seems
You speak to me
Brother of insanity

Tell me you're a friend
Here to make amends
Take me to the end
Before it all caves in
A questions of my strength
Brother do you doubt me yet again?
Add a tally to my fallen memories

Nothing to embrace
In this dying place
As I shiver in the cold
Permeating to the bone
With nothing to lose
And nothing to hold
Such a bitter taste
The cold embrace

Gone are the days
Where ignorance plays
Childish dreams
Sew the fabric of heartache
Blessed with dreams
Cursed in death
The mind will rest
With one last breath

And I question the things I long for
Tell me brother when it comes to insanity
Guide me friend, away from bleak's end
As I succumb to the mask of fragility

We journey through the path of endless seams
As night comes, all that is,
Is just questions in our dreams

And I question the things I longed for
Won't you tell me brother
Won't you tell me brother

I will not me fulfilled
Unsevered are the ties to depression
Yet further severance with each new connection

I will not be fulfilled
A greed that overflows the cup
Drowning the roots, as they suffer and wither

There is no more time left
A future cannot truly be reborn
No life is cleaved from its past

Will we ever be forgiven?
I will judge with all my heart
Is there any light to be cast upon this shadow?

To despise the being that has bloomed
Atonement is absent from view
All that is torn is removed
With remnants that dance in a circle of resentment

For these are my burdens to bear
To drink from the cup of soullessness
The conscious thought has prevailed
Dark hermit laid to dwell in his insanity

4. Sombre

A cave, no solace
A light, to burn with anguish

I have led the way
To a passage past decay

Flowers, never bloom
Roots, are consumed

Sombre are the days
The Prodigal chose his ways
Maybe there is light
Another day to fight

To see with a different gaze
Is all I portray
Fall into the light
Or lose all your sight

The sun passes by
Memories of your time
Sombre are the days
Theses lessons will not decay

Bury me, within this anguish
Fleeting moments, before the perish
Sadistic lust, longing to suffer
Despair welcomed, to form a brother

Cynical mind, embrace the body
Let it die, with all its folly
To suffocate, a life of virtue
Dirt and dust, the end will haunt you

To see with a different gaze
Is all I portray
Fall into the light
Or lose all your sight

The sun passes by
Memories of your time
Sombre are the days
These lessons will not decay

For all I've ever seen
And all there is to learn
With every moment that passes me by
I will tell you, there is not turning,
Turning of time

5. Ire

The blindfold of fear and pain
Filters my vision
As I turn the rage as a source of enrichment

Feel time slow down
Let it drain you out
Drawing to the end
My cries turn dead

How many times has the Sun passed my Earth?

With broken wings
On shattered dreams
Build me a sign
To go forward
I will not live
In this darkness

Soul in a cage
Growing through rage
Fading of light
With a patience so dim
Flesh turns to dust
Metal to rust

Yet these lessons will not decay
All my memories stay the same
A foundation to be sustained
These pillars will not cast away

A spark turns into burning flame
Arrogance in the Prodigal's path
For silence to be betrayed
Vengeance speaks unto dismay

It's an ire I feel
That dwells within
Long is the wait
To the end of this suffering

Feeling time slow down
As it drains you out

How many times has the Sun passed my Earth?
One lone wait for sleep
I count the days as the Sun passes my Earth
The wait, I long for sleep

6. Obeisance

Dusk and dawn, a ritual found
Dancing of the tongues towards the mysteries
My childish dream, they comfort me
A fortress that is built from fallacy

It cannot be, illusion entirety
Surely hope itself will bring meaning
And so it goes, until the final breath
A battle in the mind on how to embrace death

Obeisance
Can you hear the voices speaking?
Obeisance
Will you not tell me the meaning?

Obeisance
Latching onto credence
When all that is built is removed

And the mind is fickle
Embracing all it can
To remove uncertainty

To embrace the novel mind
A changing wind is sanctity
My heart is drawn ever so differently
To renounce a love I once knew

Obeisance
A question that is bewildering
Obeisance
Is there forgiveness in thinking?

Obeisance
Latching onto credence
When all that is built is removed

And the mind is fickle
Embracing all it can
To remove uncertainty

Tell me all I envision is not just at the back of my head
Rooted into your soul
Tell me if there's endless retribution for the dead
Cast it onto the stone

Speak to me in tongues, dreams and all that can be
I will die to hear
Will the lack of my convictions follow me to the grave?
Time will tell

Time will tell

7. Nurture

All that time has taught
Is to embrace the insignificance

Yet within what I dwell
Overwhelms the irrelevant

What choice is made when the paths are displayed?

Is there any meaning in asking for forgiveness?
For bridges burned, leaves a trail of resentment

With every mask
Is worn a brand new face
The growth is destined
For it to wilt in every phase

A turning of age
Will bring grief to dearest
But for how long will I wear this veil?
It is untrue and foolish
To retain what is now a mask
Melt away into the slums of decay

The foundation is not a waste
What is built with character is wisdom to take
As our own perspectives collide

To bathe with anger
To suppress your vision
The sun comes and goes
But will never change
Unlike you in the moments
To question in darkness
When all that is left of sight
Is the dead of night

To burn within
Dwell in suffering

Stirring in the seas
Changing winds and restless leaves
Chaos flows withing the streams
Blooming into my eternity

Speak to me in dreams
Time lost is never returned
Nurture paves the way
With every mask, a new betrayal

To control, is a delusion
Reveries invite deception
A burning heart, will cast desire
Cruel tongue, the only umpire

To resent, feeble thinking
To outgrow, all that is being
A childish dream, deceives the process
A demise, in a dire moment

The loneliness prevails
With darkness to embrace
A sight to behold as it will fade
In a breath without grace

Stirring in the seas
Changing winds and restless leaves
Chaos flows within the streams
Blooming into my eternity

Speak to me in dreams
Time lost is never returned
Nurture paves the way
With every mask, a new betrayal

A lonely road is a lonely path to grow
I will see the end with only time to befriend
To taste the pain of all that haunts the past
To speak of graves for souls to cast
All our dreams

Will you wait for me?
And I will sing till the last song
Echoes through the winds
Will you wait for me?
And I will stand with time,
To allow the shame to die
