The Sentencing
Past, present, and future Heed to the call of its constant spell The very essence of life is questioned with each setting sun, with the light of each new dawning day The sunrise sends its greetings and feigns a promise May good tidings steer the uncertain path Sunset, it came so quickly there wasn't a chance and the moon laughs, your daytime dreams cannot be fulfilled through sleep The dreams of the present are the same dreams of many past years Still unfulfilled after all this time brought to your knees by the crippling sands that devour Race until the end Suffocate on the slow kill that perpetually damns Time is eternally falling Never to repeat itself in perfect symmetry Breathe in the malice, release a part of your soul Entranced by silence the deafening silence once more Destined to drown again forevermore The memories begin fading as before Destined to drown again Cursing the future, damning the present living in the past, forever haunted By what could have been, by what once was had The hourglass quickenes, caught in the spell of the sands Each grain of sand takes with it a breath of life Each breath of life takes with it a moment in time never recaptured Each dawn, possibly the last dawn Dusk may be eternal

Time had struck it down and laid waste of its will Growth had stopped long ago and it crumbled in its age Hopes once real are now faint whispers in the wind The cracks in the structure are the wears in the skin Gray skies are eternal in the dreamscape wasteland The sun had set long ago to flee the tear laden night Memories of what was and what was to be Echo through the ruined land that was once our land of dreams Your land of dreams, our land of dreams, my land of dreams... DREAMLAND It came to this somehow Through the years that sped fast like days Through the days that took the form of hours By the hour it willl all begin to fade Look and weep, hands take the heads of mourners Tears seep through aged fingers like the rain slipping through the crack of the structure And as the waves consumes, All hope gives way to doom Despair paints the skies grey, Entombed the halls run deep with pain At the ruins in dreamland, At the edge of time The sadness is swelling, And feeding the storm Thinking of what could have been But fearing the urge to dream The nightmare had descended And it longs to descend again At the dreamscape ruins A headstone to mark the world of wonder Where the landscape is a tomb For the souls and dreams that were sadly pulled under

Two had made one with a bind of souls Never forget teh dark one who wields the blade of three The third entity waits in the shadows Timing the prefect end Waiting to sever the ties of heaven-sent bliss It's the balancing of joy and pain (tidings of both life and death) The keeper of souls will give And the keeper of souls will take away A close listen to tje wind will sense the lost ones cries Destiny scales will tend to weigh more on death And shattered dreams, and tear swelled eyes, and hearts ripped within Adrift in the cover of shadows The scythe and angel wait to tear it all asunder The godsend union meets its untimely end One it cast out, the other finds its tomb within The divide brings the burial of both spirits the same Love took its dose of death The living's curses scourge the shadows of the beyond Damned to the call of destiny's rule The downside of happiness is its inevitable end Forever is nonexistent in the journey of life Is it better to bid farewell to dreams before they become mortal and die? Remember the looming blade hiding overhead Take blessings with caution The time is knows only by the angel of death

And so it's passed again in the name of fate Destiny will be sentence For tragedy is the path to glory Fate favours another Therein lies the meaning for this pain Your flesh and blood are food for the toying sand of time Int ther after, will one find the reason? Looking back now This death was a must for another soul's triumps and gain One sees fortune birthed by misfortune when questioning the course of a life Lives may be lived for those not yet living "This happened for a reason" The only thought to ease the mind A time from now your death may have meaning For now die well in fear unexplained Fate knows no distance, this crime will be a stepping stone For the destined soul of glory has yet to show its face "This happened for a reason" The only thought t oease the mind And so its passed again in the name of fate Your flesh and blood are the food for the toying sands of time One sees fortune birthed by misfortune Die well now a death unexplained Lives may be lives for souls not yet living The destined soul of glory has yet to show its face

Awaken, darkness casts its spell again As the mist surrounds it stirs the shadows in the mind Thoughts can wander freely underneath the night's cover (caught in a whirlwind of moving voices, some of comfort, some of deceit) Solitude is the only audience and tells no tales The dearest friend may be the one that never speaks (mids have ben known to turn on themselves with their halves and disagree) But take care for in silence... your own thoughts may drive your mad Some cannot endure even in sleep they still suffer Haunted to the fatal point by the lies, the thruth and the sin Madness in some will lose still to death Locked away in a coffin of infinitie echoes The dark has an eternity of untold stories They're hidden in the realms of the dead and sleeping Where secrets may shed their true meaning In the night sky what the day hides van be seen Awaken, darkness casts its spell again The mist stirs the sins in the mind

Lighting bore the terror A crack of thunder commenced the death The rain holds the tears of a lifetime The wnd holds the fear of our screams Now unheard in the battle The time has arrived, no clearing in sight, no outside hope All is lost in this our own downfall, our own divine creatin Nature's cleansing in her own form of death The elements wreak havoc in combined destruction Wind spreads the fire, rain flattens mountains Burned, drowned, crushed into dust In the endless downpour the soyls's screams are hushed A spirituall hell of the earth's ill will No time to prepare for demise Enough time to be rapes by the terror Unheard in the storm, the countless screams of the countless dying Fear in the storm, that brought the pain and disintegrates souls Unheard in the storm, the cries for help for there nothing to cry to Death in the storm, death the start and ens, death upon death Leveling the hills of al existence Boiling the seas and consuming the innocent life Yes, in too must go into death's throe And all the screams are unheard in the storm

The shards force in Splitting the dark into clusters This time before There was a chance to flee Captured in a state of repentance The sins of the past are still-able to damage There's part of my soul that still can't forgive Just released from the cell of imortals Cast now into the prison that seems eternal The daybreak, my nightfall The light is swallowed by the monn The sun rises and sets together in one last mockery Just as the day had arrived it departed, leaving just ine soul behind Summoned with the dawn All past despair and new hope laid out before me At once it drowns in a darkness blacker that any day I'd ever known Nothing coming or going, living or dying My mind flooded just when it seemed to clear Years of pain back in a second of time This in the penance I had just felt the warmth of the old sun I had been longing to reach Just as I opened my eyes, they were forced shut Summoned back to the tomb I had created so long ago I must have been too far gone Is there no forgiveness? Forgive me...
