WITHERFALL LYRICS

1. Deliver Us into the Arms of Eternal Silence

[Instrumental]

2. The Last Scar

Wrapping my hands around your throat, so your empty words cannot escape
Trapping inside forever deception and the lies that have sealed your fate
And now you struggle to find your way out
Hiding scars, "knowing her mouth is a tomb"
Leaving behind the oppression of your mind
Her shifting eyes no longer aggressive as the color drains from her face
Leaving behind a life so pathetic
I told you I would make you pay
And through your anguish I find my way out
Is this remorse? "Knowing she could seal your doom."
Is it redemption to leave your lifeless... but still alive?

I saw the light and it burned
This is the last scar
You've crossed the line and I'll make you learn
I saw the light and it burned
You've given your last scar
I've suffered enough and now it's your turn

Running through mazes of insanity the chaotic logic of the co-dependent
I thought I had left you, thought I was rid of your curse
And still I struggle, is there no way out?
Am I condemned? "Knowing this house is my tomb"
Would you forgive me if I just end it tonight?

I saw the light and it burned
This is the last scar
You've crossed the line and I'll make you learn
I saw the light and it burned
You've given your last scar
I've suffered enough and now it's your turn

Lying in a pool of crimson starlight
Glimmers from above upon my head
The past comes rushing in
I will not let the terrors in...
I give myself to you upon this altar

I saw the light and it burned
This is the last scar
You've crossed the line and I'll make you learn
I saw the light and it burned
You've given your last scar
I've suffered enough and now it's your turn

It's the last scar

3. As I Lie Awake

Falling feels just like flying
All my pain meets away
The illusions of my perception
Are left chained to yesterday
Every second that I forget to fall
Every vision seems unreal
I down my eyes to face the world alone

What have we done, how has it come to this?
Every second feels just like eternity
And now it's done, everything fades to grey and dies
And we're alone...

A rapture of water I'm drowning in fear
The tide can't wash over our sins
They gave us an altar without any faith
And I question as I lie awake.

Now my life laid out before me
Left to face another day
Turning on my past reflections
Every corner looks just the same
Every moment that I fail to recall
My past now fades away
I open my eyes and know that I'm alone

What have we done, how has it come to this?
Every second feels just like eternity
And now it's done, everything fades to grey and dies
And we're alone...

A rapture of water I'm drowning in fear
The tide can't wash over our sins
They gave us an altar without any faith
And I question as I lie awake.

4. Another Face

You're not who you say you are
There's something strange about the way you stare
The pain's so far behind us now
We've given it up still we don't know how
Is this goodbye now?
Is this not quite what you had dreamed?

When I looked in the shadows all I could see
Was the fading light of my unfinished dreams
How have I come so far too till feel so far away?
"Is there another face?"
So, I try not to listen to their stifled screams
The reflections tend to be now what they seem
Maybe I'll just forget and hope they all die away...
"Is there another face?"

The pain hits like an opiate
My past just slips away in a haze, frame by frame
Is this really all that's left of me
I pick up the pieces, still I can't see
"Who will survive now?"
And I'm not sure how they all fit

When I looked in the shadows all I could see
Was the fading light of my unfinished dreams
How have I come so far too till feel so far away?
"Is there another face?"
So, I try not to listen to their stifled screams
The reflections tend to be now what they seem
Maybe I'll just forget and hope they all die away...
"Is there another face?"

In asking ourselves questions to which the answers may surprises
In multiple iterations come revelations that may bind us
The consequence follow us to the end of time
Thought it may be a bit confusing which sin is yours, and which is mine

Waiting, on the edge of a storm
All the signs point to nothing
They won't carry us home
Waiting, on the edge of a storm
All the signs point to nothing
They won't carry us home

Waiting, in the edge of a storm
And the tempest is coming
And we'll face it alone
Waiting, on the edge of a storm
All the signs point to nothing
They won't carry us home

5. Tempest

In time, you will bend to my will and you'll know
All the reasons for your bleak existence
Though it's taken so long just to sell, you've been lost in me
Suffering through all the perils that I lay before you
There's nowhere left for you to turn
Now close your eyes and embrace this illusion
While you burn....

Your penance, is to follow me into these shadows
Never knowing if you will return
And our fathers lie dormant in sorrow, as the fears flow deep
Who says martyrs never learn?
Now it's all you can do bur surrender, while the vortex turns

When the storm comes rushing in, and there's nowhere left to turn
In the eye, will show the truth that we've yet to learn
When there's no one left to blame, and now all your will is gone
You'll look back and you will see, where you went wrong

This is now the final hour, a tempest looms over our empty decaying lives
There's no way to stop the coming wave
Our star has descended, horizons now slipping away

When the storm comes rushing in, and there's nowhere left to turn
In the eye, will show the truth that we've yet to learn
When there's no one left to blame, and now all your will is gone
You'll look back and you will see, where you went wrong

In the low dimming light
Slowly fading to night...
Though our prison was only a dream
Only after it's over we see...

What does this wandering storm have in store?

6. Curse of Autumn

If the truth isn't sacred, why are we afraid?
Have we all been missed by our dreams?
And if our prayers go unanswered, who are we to blame?
As our seasons pass by like the wind...
We fall like withering leaves, leaving nothing but a world that is broken

And maybe someday we'll all forget who we are
Allowing ourselves a future reborn
Is our indifference to forget why we're here?
Bringing on the curse of autumn...

7. The Unyielding Grip of Each Passing Day

[Instrumental]

8. The Other Side of Fear

My heart is racing, I cannot feel my arms
This world that I have built it all comes crashing to the ground
I'm frozen, I'm frozen
I am descending, the mirror has me now
Death would be much easier than to bear this veil of stone
I'm broken, I'm broken

I'm falling through shadows
They follow me close behind
I wander through this nightmare
'Til I reach
The other side of fear

The floor is sharking, I'm losing all control
My sense are oblivious to everything around
It's fading, it's fading
And I am empty, there's nothing left of me
Can it be I'll never come to see the other side?
It's over, it's over

I'm falling through shadows
They follow me close behind
I wander through this nightmare
'Til I reach
The other side of fear

Bearing witness to this entity
That hovers up above
Regardless, of what we do to justify our fear
And all the little pills
We take, in the hope he'll go away
Sinking further into misery

I'm falling through shadows
They follow me close behind
I wander through this nightmare
'Til I reach
The other side of fear

9. The River

Alone and forgotten
Waiting on the answers from father time
The silence seems emote
It screams from the past and the broken lines

Take me to the river
Kneel upon the shore
Cast me into eternity
Let the wind take me through the door

The wind has abandoned
Our souls touch the water, it ebbs and flows
It carries us further
From our destination to distant shore

Take me to the river
Kneel upon the shore
Cast me into eternity
Let the wind take me through the door

10. And They All Blew Away

The final line, lies between what was said
It tells me what to fear
Descending through the emptiness
All the while on borrowed time
Lies are streaming through my head
And nothing can stop the culling...

For the last time you have failed me
I'll keep my cards just out of reach
And for every empty sacrifice
Or promise you won't keep
I lay it all out on the table
You leave me hanging on the line
Here's to every wasted hour waiting
Here on borrowed time and I know...
I don't know I...

And now the course laid out before me
No more promises to keep
It doesn't matter if in the end
It doesn't justify the means
And now our trust in penance fading
We put our faith in hollow lies
Again, with every wasted hour waiting here on borrowed
And I know...

I don't know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay
You just came through
Spinning your web of lies but I know...

In the wind, and through the rain
We can find ourselves a path to follow
Even those uninvited get to stay...
And in the end we ride the storm
And there is no one immune to sorrow
Like every star up above will surely fade...
And they all blew away

Descending into hallowed halls of disillusion
Pretending that it's not your time, to persuade
Giving into temptation, lies and your confusion
Answers we thought made us free
Turned us into slaves...
"And it cycles on and on... Unfolding with the wind"
Man's greed has given way to this
We find ourselves with our backs to the wall and

I don't know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay
You just came through
Spinning your web of lies but I know...

In the wind, and through the rain
We can find ourselves a path to follow
Even those uninvited get to stay...
And in the end we ride the storm
And there is no one immune to sorrow
Like every star up above will surely fade...
And they all blew away

Crossing over
We ascend to embrace the coming curse
Descending, precision
No one can hide from the inverse

The chosen give the sign
Let the virus spread
Wake up, it's not a dream anymore
The things that we once, took for granted
Now lay dying on the floor
This is not what we wanted from this
This is not what you wanted to say

Now that I've had some time
To find myself a little inspiration
It isn't like we had a choice
Was this all pointless insulation
"From ripping and clawing sycophants"
Too weak to show their faces
Let the tide of indifference eradicate the weak
Drown our enemies in silence

"We drown our enemies in silence"

I don't know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay
You just came through
Spinning your web of lies but I know...

In the wind, and through the rain
We can find ourselves a path to follow
Even those uninvited get to stay...
And in the end we ride the storm
And there is no one immune to sorrow
Like every star up above will surely fade...
And they all blew away
