1.
Crossing the boundaries of this world I seek a new state of consciousness The ending of this life seems to carry me To a place I find my bliss My wounds hold secrets that you'll never see Your mind is not strong enough When the blade slices the skin and opens me A barren shore awaits my blood In the face of death I redeem myself To be one who will always be The poison that you've eaten for so long Was your own tragedy
2.
You'll find no gold At the end of the rainbow Only desperate hope And a heart as cold as snow Can you feel it sinking in The pain you know starting again We've never been told the truth There is no one watching over you You'll find no gold At the end of the rainbow Only desperate hope And a heart as cold as snow Can you feel it sinking in The pain you know starting again We've never been told the truth There is no one watching over you Existence was never meant for me It shattered all my hopeless dreams
3.
I feel that cold hand Looming in the shadows Growing upon my shoulder Watching mirrors haunt me Dancing in the past What once was should have been And we wither by Choking under our own skin Only focused on the darkness Just like a thorn Nesting in the garden It grows Inside the garden Grows my sorrow I lay awake These roots will borrow And spread like disease Itโ€™s far too late for me Inside the garden Grows my sorrow I lay awake These roots will borrow And spread like disease Itโ€™s far too late for me Specters of untold secrets Haunt the worried min, Entangled like vines Ageless in their beauty Barbs like gray wolf Howling in the dark Thyself thy enemy Torment and misery There is no escape The darkness it comforts me Peace in serendipity Like thorns in the garden Grows my sorrow I lay awake These roots will borrow And spread like disease Itโ€™s far too late for me Inside the garden Grows my sorrow I lay awake These roots will borrow And spread like disease Itโ€™s far too late for me
4.
Into the void I am to walk Beyond the veil I hear her call Into the void I walk Beyond the veil I hear her call That voice, my shepherd My armor, protector You were all I ever knew Fireside, the stars aligned A new Zion For the chosen few From beyond the veil I watch you fall Like the cold winter sun, reflections remain Into the void I am to walk Beyond the veil I hear her call And this long path ahead May you feel every step to the end And this long path ahead May you feel every step to the end
5.
The dark surrounds me with no light in sight Its closing in, my love grows for the night A grave loss for lust I can see in her eyes This plague brings chaos as we all die The sun has set its light Past the river Now I wander in the dark A cold blows from the north Bringing shivers Now I long for a single spark The frozen moon appears Death in slumber What a timeless sleeping void My cries ring out at night Now put asunder What eternal resting joy Dare to take the hand of one who has lived With a cold heart that allows nothing to give Silence screams at me a new motive With never giving a way to forgive
6.
Under this sky I find my way back home I feel nothing inside just cold and alone I feel the Spring returning to take her place She is cold and always embracing my face Life is in bloom but I wither away What plan was I a part of What role did I play Come back now and undo this awful spell Were it not for you I would not be here in hell Winter days are behind me and I'm still alone Throughout the spring and summer I aimlessly roam I can see the bleeding goes on and you're still alive Don't forge a path you can't walk and then give it life Autumn brings her slow death, I watch this world die An observer to the madness I am cursed with endless time along the shadowed pathways I can see you so clear Take me with you winter lady always hold me near Under this sky I find my way back home I feel nothing inside just cold and alone Along the shadowed pathways I can see you so clear Take me with you winter lady always hold me near
7.
She walks softly across the skyway My heart is down here in the meadows, haunted My love, what was given lasted for years The ghost of her light has fainted, shadowed We'll stay together while we're falling She looks past me while I stare, so perfect Don't take her for I'm still in need As I watch her flicker, burning away All at once I had lost my salvation And in this room I surely bled Alone and bleeding I sought out a new horizon But my life was fading fast I still search for her along the rivers And in the reeds I hear her call I pass this coin to the ferryman And set sail for what awaits No! I won't accept this trial, this madness This broken shell I've shed I can't take another pathway, my destiny She's waiting for me I bring gifts for the seers, the masters In hopes of her return In death, we find each other longing Together we find eternity No! I won't accept this trial, this madness This broken shell I've shed I can't take another pathway, my destiny She's waiting for me I bring gifts for the seers, the masters In hopes of her return In death, we find each other longing Together we find eternity
8.
Oh! The last time I traveled I saw the ghost of yesterday One time when I was a young man I felt my dreams slip away Those who also find misfortune Will guide me to that place Where i can find solitude And leave this world on this cold day On this cold day I'm reborn I will find the place with no sun On this cold day we will find A place that knows no earthly time To those who find themselves lost Take my hand and find sacred death Even when I was a young man I felt myself run out of breath A fighting chance I was not given This planet is not my own Come with me and we'll transcend the borders To a place where we all belong On this cold day I'm reborn I will find the place with no sun On this cold day we will find A place that knows no earthly time On this cold day I'm reborn I will find the place with no sun On this cold day we will find A place that knows no earthly time
9.
My funeral was lonely I wept for my past life There was a time of grace It soon fell from my eyes A shadow in the sunlight Reflects the tears in Hell As I was covered in mud I lost my tale to tell What became of bliss When at once it was gone The dawn of Hell comes When you're dead and alone My path was cut short My life was but a blink As we circle the sun I feel my heart sink She wept at my grave I saw her dressed in black From this vantage point There is no turning back I long for the love I long for the pain I long for the stars I long for the rain My funeral was lonely I wept for my past life There was a time of grace It soon fell from my eyes A shadow in the sunlight Reflects the tears in hell As I was covered in mud I lost my tale to tell
