When Mortal Coils Shed

Once more a longer day I recall the void remains A void that forever stays They say that time heals well But a wound fixed open dwells A wound that forever tells Now the sorrow takes me Will tomorrow save me From the day burned in my mind? How can I journey on when no road lies ahead? How can I carry on when mortal coils shed? In dreams return again Rekindling of hope, my friend But reality rears its head Wish for the chance to say Goodbye before away Away before better days Now the sorrow takes me Will tomorrow save me From the day burned in my mind? How can I journey on when no road lies ahead? How can I carry on when mortal coils shed? All I see is your face beckoning Face of old who we lost reveling All I feel is the pain, harrowing That day burned in mind Take me back to the time you were here Days of old we could all disappear Tell me why you had to leave When mortal coils shed How can I journey on when no road lies ahead? How can I carry on When mortal coils shed? When the sorrow takes me Will tomorrow save me? Darkened hold, restrain me Will tomorrow save me From the day burned in my mind? That day burned in my mind

Do you see what I see? Spouting hypocrisy Your voice, your rules, they contradict your words My mind, confused, to this you always return Trapped in corrosive views Ignoring the lies you choose Preaching avoidance flows While traveling banished roads Reap what you sow Reap what you sow Conviction crumbling Through life you're stumbling Imposed beliefs and your toxicity Denial to the news of your complicity Trapped in corrosive views Ignoring the lies you choose Preaching avoidance flows While traveling banished roads It's time to reap Reap what you sow Reap what you sow Trapped in corrosive views Ignoring the lies you choose Preaching avoidance flows While traveling banished roads Reap what you sow Reap what you sow Reap what you sow

I await and fear the unknown I await and fear the unknown I await and fear the unknown I await I await and fear the unknown I await for you to be Unborn a seed, a life conceived awaiting She'll meet our world pursuing harmony But with her gaze, will she see someone prepared? The die is cast Pure blood hand unto me She'll need a hand to grasp Can I believe? Father, be there Deep down I tremble, at surface smile Will I resemble what's left behind? Sworn to protect now who grows inside Be now my teacher, be now my guide Fear the unknown Serenity deceased by clouded reason Will damaged ways pass on to who you'll be? Stained in my mind, "will I feel nothing?" replays Am I a fraud? Rejected I would be She needs my open arms Can I believe? Father, be there Deep down I tremble, at surface smile Will I resemble what's left behind? Sworn to protect now who grows inside Be now my teacher, be now my guide Fear the unknown My flesh and blood Pull me out of this flood For I will be there I will be there Deep down I tremble, at surface smile Will I resemble what's left behind? Sworn to protect now who grows inside Be now my teacher, be now my guide I await and fear the unknown I await I await and fear the unknown The unknown I will be there in the unknown
