The Passing
10:04
|

No more pulse within me
Laid down in fire
Marking down the passing
I am charring in the flames
Cremation of this night
Pile of ash, grey and white
Cremation of this night
Burning flames, burning bright
God won't pass a glace
And the devil has turned away
Heavens gates are closed
And the flames of hell rejected me
Trapped within a plain
Feeling sorrow, agony, and pain
The burial has passed
All have wished farewell
Yet here I stand
A specter, a ghost
I can't cast a shadow
Am I even truly here
There is no guiding light
No one here, can't reunite
There is no guiding light
Only shadows, only spite
God won't pass a glace
And the devil has turned away
Heavens gates are closed
And the flames of hell rejected me
Trapped within a plain
Feeling sorrow, agony, and pain
Here I stand
Stuck inside the dream
No waking moment aggravating me
I'm just a ghost, a phantom here
Within a dream

The Dark Fringe
07:04
|
|||
Branches, curling above my head
Shadows shifting below
A darker fringe ahead
lost in the woods of death
No birds, no beasts in here
Wandering aimlessly
Choking upon my fear
Can't scream for help
Silently walking alone
A path I have never seen
Waiting for voices to call
The quiet encompasses all
Shortness of breath snuffs me out
The ground has an undertow
And through it, I'm alone
In the darkest night
Leaves cover the light
My words reach no ears
Clouded by fear
In my afterlife
With my murky sight
Air won't touch my lungs
...caring is gone
Silently walking alone
A path I have never seen
Waiting for voices to call
The quiet encompasses all
Shortness of breath snuffs me out
The ground has an undertow
And through it, I'm alone
Where life and death collide
in a godless obstacle
I can't make a sound
I can't call for help
The darker fringe is where I belong

Frozen Hearts
05:48
|
|||
All through the woods
everlasting night
Through the forest
All the light escaping from my sight
No stars tonight
Moon will never show
A black abyss
Draining life, and deaths eyes always glow
Frozen hearts
shattered in the howling winds
Lost forever, never beat again
Tortured souls
Battered from a dreary loss
Numb forever
Never feel again
Lost in a dreamless slumber
from which I'll never wake
A curse or just a blessing
With purpose or a mistake
Withstanding through the danger
no power when we die
Grief is overwhelming
Your life flashed before your eyes
Frozen hearts
shattered in the howling winds
Lost forever, never beat again
Tortured souls
Battered from a dreary loss
Numb forever
Never feel again
Condemned to die
purified in flames
The curse of life
Gives us our graves
Frozen hearts
shattered in the howling winds
Lost forever, never beat again
Tortured souls
Battered from a dreary loss
Numb forever
Never feel again

Our Monuments
06:11
|
|||
Lowered in the dirt
Became one with earth
Somber from all of the loss
Slumber in the dark
Don't cry for us, we are now at peace
Our monuments mark our resting place
Loved ones mourn, don't shed tears for me
We'll meet again
This I know, with certainty
Lay me out in the fire
Scattered in the winds
Grieving comes for the tired world
Fatigue held in our hearts
Don't cry for us, we are now at peace
Our monuments mark our resting place
Loved ones mourn, don't shed tears for me
We'll meet again
This I know, with certainty
Exhale for the last time
We all give up the ghost
You will see me one last time on the other side
With a body built to fail
We lay our heads down
Rest your eyes and sink down, deep below
Don't cry for us, we are now at peace
Our monuments mark our resting place
Loved ones mourn, don't shed tears for me
We'll meet again
This I know, with certainty
Exhale for the last time
We all give up the ghost
Bodies built to fail
Let your demise take you

Acceptance
10:11
|
|||
Within the darkest hour
Time to let go of my hold
Our tears flow in the end
Flowers are left for the dead
Time, just grains of sand
Passing through hands of time
Remembering the days
Times are gone, memories remain
Quietly I will waste away
Silently I will writhe in pain
Hiding away from all the ache
Hoping to see you again
Memories drifting through the night
Burning ash
Embers in the sky
Burdens call lingers in the air
In the silence I am engulfed
I will remember this pain
I walk among the stars
No wishes to be made
I cross to greener grass
And only found my grave
No debts left to repay
Death wipes all in the end
Descend into the earth
Anticipate the cold
The suffering in life
Has created this woe
Acceptance in my heart
We will never be apart
