There Was A Light Here

I offer myself to the way of death My heart to suffering lambs Where few will tread their holy feet Soil their sacred hands Deliver me from the godless night My fate unscathed When Heaven wants for fallen hearts I take to pulling graves Save yourself Call up to your throne Hold your breath Sing to yours alone I buried my hands in a mountain of hurt Drank with the wicked for all that it's worth You found escape in the walls of a church You found desertion I found my place in the dirt My placе in the dirt I gave my song to the farthеst gone I slept in the lion's den Rejected by my kindred blood Marked as a lesser than Some will call me heathen They say my soul is damned Forever I will believe in This, my path, for dead I am Save yourself Call up to your throne Hold your breath Sing to yours alone I buried my hands in a mountain of hurt Drank with the wicked for all that it's worth You found escape in the walls of a church You found desertion I found my place in the dirt My place in the dirt You made division You made a choice You found a shelter from all of the noise I'll be the weapon I'll be the work You found desertion I found my place in the dirt I'll be the weapon I'll be the work You found desertion I found my place in the dirt Place in the dirt

If Hell is in the wake, I've yet to see Something in the air is killing me All of my defenses left to bleed I can't deny my distance Dying to feel something to heal Nothing to gain, ever the same I've been suffering in silence Waiting for the calming break of day Sorrow, light the way To follow me in fighting All I can to hold your heart and pray Sorrow, light the way When shallow is the air you wish to breathe All of your contentions fail to feed Take your time and run it backwards Resolve is wearing thin Save your pride for sеasons after Not as we're caving in Dying to feel somеthing to heal Nothing to gain, ever the same I've been suffering in silence Waiting for the calming break of day Sorrow, light the way To follow me in fighting All I can to hold your heart and pray Sorrow, light the way Every door is painted black I feel my fate collapse Drag me down and seal my fate Drown me in your loving hate I just watched my mother die So, forgive me if I haven't the want for this weight Blegh I've been suffering in silence Waiting for the calming break of day Sorrow, light the way To follow me in fighting All I can to hold your heart and pray Sorrow, light the way Sorrow, light the way Sorrow, light the way All I can to hold your heart and pray Sorrow, light the way

(We feel the toll) Sing a song for the final ascent Say a prayer for the rest of us At the time when the suffering left All the hope that was left in us Fell by the wayside Every confession made, promise laid Down at your bedside Guiding a broken heart through the edge of dark When the light bends to shatter a soul We feel the toll It was right then you covered us all You carried the weight in full From a shеll to the ever divinе From a spark to the fire in us As the night and forever aligned All the pain you defied for us Fell by the wayside Every confession made, promise laid Down at your bedside Guiding a broken heart through the edge of dark When the light bends to shatter a soul We feel the toll It was right then you covered us all You carried the weight in full When the light bends to shatter a soul We feel the toll It was right then you covered us all You carried the weight in full When the light bends to shatter a soul We feel the toll It was right then you covered us all You carried the weight in full (Weight in full) When the light bends to shatter a soul We feel the toll It was right then you covered us all You carried the weight in full

The pain in me is gone As I pass it on to you Am I right in feeling wrong? Can we cauterize our wounds? The pain in me is gone And my love for you is true I couldn't drag you along Through this agony, so blue The pain in me is gone My solitude is not what it used to be The pain in me is gone How do I help you carry on? The pain in me is gone As I long to pull you through I will shelter you from harm If it's all I ever do The pain in me is gone Will you ever see the proof? I won't just veil it in a song I will say it right to you, to you The pain in me is gone My solitude is not what it used to be The pain in me is gone How do I help you carry on? The pain in me is gone I weighed the guilt of my tomorrow And all the pain behind your eyes So hard to focus on my sorrow When all your worries bound with mine The pain in me is gone The pain in me is gone The pain in me is gone My solitude is not what it used to be (My solitude is not what it used to be) The pain in me is gone How do I help you carry on? (The pain in me is gone now) (How do I help you carry on?) The pain in me is gone My solitude is not what it used to be (My solitude is not what it used to be) The pain in me is gone How do I help you carry on? (How do I help you?) (How do I help you carry on?)

We feel the fractures We see the rust Lay waste the kingdom Reject the one we trust You broke the halo Fell through the floor Rename our heroes We close another door We died upon the words you sold us We suffered in vain Recalling every vow you severed It will never be the same If we follow down the road you lеd us Try and find a way to get us free You're holding us all by a thread If wе swallow all the drugs you fed us Letting go of the times you made us bleed You're holding us all by a thread By a thread Time for redirection Take back another day No false connection Regaining sight This course correction May bring us back to life We died upon the words you sold us We suffered in vain Recalling every vow you severed It will never be the same If we follow down the road you led us Try and find a way to get us free You're holding us all by a thread If we swallow all the drugs you fed us Letting go of the times you made us bleed You're holding us all by a thread No more confusion Corruption Dividing us No blood on the path before me Witness the fall of Illusion Inside of us Defining the plague I see If we fall for what you said We're hanging by a thread If we follow down the road you led us Try and find a way to get us free You're holding us all by a thread If we swallow all the drugs you fed us Letting go of the times you made us bleed You're holding us all by a thread If we follow down the road you led us Try and find a way to get us free You're holding us all by a thread If we swallow all the drugs you fed us Letting go of the times you made us bleed You're holding us all by a thread By a thread

Lost in your convolution Depleting love Can't keep your own solution From losing blood Head of the snake Leading the lost Heeding the call Rename your self-deception Your blessed curse Hold back your desperation Don't make it worse Ever the same Furthest away Loudest of all Bury defeat Carry the cross Suffer the fall Tell me I'm not numb Hang me by my tongue Truth is no illusion but for some Show me where to run I think I'm done No sense in convеrsation We fire at will Why wait for evolution? Wе've had our fill Into the void Dead in the eyes Nobody home Never relent Sharpen the blade Cut to the bone Tell me I'm not numb Hang me by my tongue Truth is no illusion but for some Show me where to run I think I'm done I think I'm done Tell me I'm not numb (Tell me I'm not numb) Hang me by my tongue (Hang me by my tongue) Truth is no illusion but for some (Truth is no illusion but for some) Show me where to run (Show me where to run) I think I'm done I think I'm done I think I'm done

Bear witness, oh knowing eyes Our lowest form of late Where tolerance will manifest contamination state No sympathy as villains press to idolize oneself To agonize when the rest of us won't live inside your hell Your hell Regenerated To medicate the pain Realize you tried in vain You fight and you fail We see the snake devour its own tail Divide and derail This hill you die upon is so frail You worship your sickness Exalting all your griеf While hoping our descendants Liеs buried underneath Relentless, we suffocate Eradicate your lies When heresy is spoken We cut you down to size, to size Regenerated To medicate the pain Realize you tried in vain You fight and you fail We see the snake devour its own tail Divide and derail This hill you die upon is so frail Will the sins of the fathers Carve vacant holes? Will the sons and the daughters Deface this host? Will the sins of the fathers Carve vacant holes? Will the sons and the daughters Deface? You fight and you fail We see the snake devour its own tail Divide and derail This hill you die upon is so frail You fight and you fail We see the snake devour its own tail Divide and derail This hill you die upon is so frail

I thought I felt you surround me Something weightless to ease my doubt I know your peace when it's found me Tear my sorrow to pieces I hear your voice in the distance See your face when the tide is low If I drown in my weakness Send your spirit to follow If you’re waiting on the other side Living through my eye Give me strength to fight Become the light Breaking through me I hope you see through the sadness Feel no griеf when the pain is loud Lead my way through thе distress Be my guide in the fallout If you're waiting on the other side Living through my eye Give me strength to fight Become the light Breaking through me If you're waiting on the other side Living through my eye Give me strength to fight Become the light Breaking through me If in my longing to see you I can’t think of the words to say Know my heart is to breathe you Be my voice 'til the final day If you're waiting on the other side Living through my eye Give me strength to fight Become the light Breaking through me If you're waiting on the other side Living through my eye Give me strength to fight Become the light Breaking through me

I'm on the outside looking in Into resolve so far away I see redemption wearing thin Behind the thought I'm fading It's been a cold dark way to go I spent a lifetime praying I can't believe what I don't know I can't believe I'm feeling Every little thing Pulling me apart Tell me where to breathe Take it all to heart or let me go I might settle for an overwhelming closure Though I won't recognize it when I feel it I can't pretend I've seen it fade It's in the walls around us And there's a mind I should have made If I could end this feeling Every little thing Pulling me apart Tell me where to breathe Take it all to heart or let me go I might settle for an overwhelming closure Though I won't recognize it when I feel it I might settle for an overwhelming closure Though I won't recognize it when I feel it I might settle for an overwhelming closure Though I won't recognize it I might settle for an overwhelming closure Though I won't recognize it when I feel it I might settle for an overwhelming closure Though I won't recognize it

Blood in the roots that you set Filling the white of your eyes Nothing to weigh, you will get what you get Patience will not sympathize You know this world is your ending No crown in defending your way I hear your grave in the distance Resounding resistance to stay To stay in vain Days you will find Fading in time Words of redemption Lost in resign Leaving your soul Hollow and blind Held in the balance while you hang the fire Time in the face of regret Led by the weight of your ties Wake from your sleep and surrender your debt Watch as the agony dies You know this world is your ending No crown in defending your way I hear your grave in the distance Resounding resistance to stay To stay in vain Days you will find Fading in time Words of redemption Lost in resign Leaving your soul Hollow and blind Held in the balance while you hang the fire Hang the fire Waiting for signs you have already seen Caught in the shadows between All that you feel is a yearning to stay Fighting your will to delay Lighting your way through the grey You know this world is your ending No crown in defending your way I hear your grave in the distance Resounding resistance to stay To stay in vain Days you will find Fading in time Words of redemption Lost in resign Leaving your soul Hollow and blind Held in the balance of why Days you will find Fading in time Words of redemption Lost in resign Leaving your soul Hollow and blind Held in the balance while you hang the fire

We fell asleep as the tide was rising Woke up in a world of aimless souls Sign of the times, we fell behind Severed a cause for a peace of mind We found a vein in a path divided Are we forgetting the vow we used to hold? Killing the truth to build a lie Turning the aim to the void inside Spent a lifetime fighting to hide the sun Spent your last breath dying to be the one Reflected on the water Reflected in the skies above Through the faces of our daughters and sons We see with lucid hearts Our spirits never apart We never settle for empty closure We know the fire will make us whole again Killing the noise of your design Follow the voice to the end of time Spent a lifetime fighting to hide the sun Spent your last breath dying to be the one Reflected on the water Reflected in the skies above Through the faces of our daughters and sons We see with lucid hearts Our spirits never apart We found the passage they don't see Follow the path through the trees We've heard the echoes of your voice Burning a hole through the noise Spent a lifetime fighting to hide the sun Spent your last breath dying to be the one Reflected on the water Reflected in the skies above Through the faces of our daughters and sons We see with lucid hearts Our spirits never apart Reflected on the water Reflected in the skies above Through the faces of our daughters and sons We see with lucid hearts Our spirits never apart
