Along a Barren Shore
03:38
|
|
||
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

As Cold as Snow
03:35
|
|

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

Thorns in the Garden
03:54
|
|
||
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
Itโs far too late for me
Inside the garden
Grows my sorrow
I lay awake
These roots will borrow
And spread like disease
Itโs 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
Itโs far too late for me
Inside the garden
Grows my sorrow
I lay awake
These roots will borrow
And spread like disease
Itโs far too late for me

Beyond the Veil
05:03
|
|

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

The Night Comes
04:16
|
|

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

Taken By Winter's Grace
03:18
|
|
||
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

Death Springs Eternal
04:17

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

A Frigid Emptiness
04:39

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

The First Time I Died
04:46
|
|
||
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
