the rain shadows my long lost dreams one more mirror lays in shattered glass this night in black cant take another breath i stand alone i stand encased in stone
on my knees visage haunting me
your words never saved me ever comfort wrapped around me never
spirit is willing but the flesh is weak start out a curse that must be done candle blazing in a way seem alive the part of me thats human fades away
on my knees this killing me your
words never saved me ever comfort wrapped around me never
set to sing a rain song wash away all the pain one word takes it all away but the flesh is weak

Two Silver Tongues

Two Silver tongues spoke all the lies
A thousand times
now wrestle with a choice
A thousand more
Are you even.. listening
Point out to the glistening sea
I say the sea it lies
Lies like every gust of wind
Wind that whispers every sight
Sights I can barely hide disgust
Disgust of every shape
Shapes that set loose my rage
for this black sky
Only ones who’ll fear this day are cowards
Take my hand I'll show you the beauty
Only ones who’ll fear this day are cowards
Take my hand I'll show you the beauty of death
Point out from the other side
I'll say the sea is full of life
full of life.. like every wind
whispers every sight
Many sights I should have seen
in a different light
I wish i could see that bright sky
one last time
Only ones who’ll fear this day are cowards
Take my hand I'll show you the beauty
Only ones who’ll fear this day are cowards
Take my hand I'll show you the beauty of death
Only ones who’ll fear this day are cowards
Take my hand I'll show you the beauty
Only ones who’ll fear this day are cowards
Take my hand I'll show you the beauty of death
I'll never know how hard you tried
You'll never know my sacrifice
These torn out wings cannot fly
I’m sorry if only you saw the light
The darkness took over every shred
of caring I ever had
I'll never know how hard you tried
You'll never know my sacrifice
I’m sorry if only you saw the light
these torn out wings can not fly

Glass shards push through my veins straining to hold onto reality breath comes in short desperate gasps trying to focus past salty clouds I've found my weakness and now must tear it out i've found my weakness and now must tear it
All of this stems from you poison roots have burroed seeds now planted in my heart all of this stems from you
I've found my weakness and now must find the strength to remove this wickedness to tear it out
Remove all memory tear it out all those days every heartfelt kiss take it back not even on my grave do i want your tears keep them all
I've found the strentgh to take this stillborn heart and leave it at your feet the needle has risen the lights have been dimmed curtains have lowered these pages have been torn the needle has risen the lights have been dimmed the story is finished the book has been closed

Relinquish all hope
in ever being saved
We dwell in false pretense
That decides our lives
black eyes bleed
Tears fall long forgotten
Let me be in my
cathedral of pain
Ignorance we try to feign
Your silence will rule your days
These days you’ve forsaken
every bit of breath
How long will I wander
through this life
My eyes bleed tears blind
How could I forget
in silence another cross to bear
Feathers fall from the sky
Fallen angel unable to fly
The feathers fall on your saviors back
Fall silent in your shame
Can you see in death we bring life to our souls
No, too late just leave they’re all gone

Bleed for Better Days
04:14
|
|||
|
a mistaken assumption of his fallen adoration
a fantasy of dancing to a song not yet sung
to be the one the one who strains to stay stay in key
discarded reflection left to bleed for better days
no saving one whos lost all hope
she would sew her eyes
shut for just one kiss
when all she needs
is just one regret
nestled in a depression days go on constant night
and crueler days are coming brace yourself for the coming song
a symphony a melody that teases the coming end
discarded carnation left to sway in the wind
broken halo
fallen angel
passing judgement
burning parchment
passing judgement
burning parchment
twisted kind of obsession build it up tear it down
and crueler days are coming brace yourself for the coming song
a symphony a melody that teases the coming end
discarded reflection left to bleed for better days
she would sew her eyes
shut for just one kiss
when all she needs
is just one regret

Age of Ruin Fairfax, Virginia
Throughout the age of enlightenment, the renaissance, the reformation era and beyond, mortals have tried to make sense of mankind's meaning on earth. Most believe that in the late 90's, a surge of lightning fast riffs, guttural screams, devastatingly bass tones, and the pulverizing rhythm of drums unearthed a crucial piece of this puzzle...this ushered in what would be known as The Age of Ruin. ... more
