Requiem for Eirênê
How these moments hold Seconds Eternities Consequence and cause as one A dance of fates Traces these steps I know Broken, retracted across time What might have been Moonlight It shows me My reflection in dark waters Now all alone Faces They haunt me I was searching Who will search for you? When you are adrift? Who holds you in their heart? (Searching in vain for you) Who holds you to this world? (Searching in vain for you) Can you keep hope alive? (Searching in vain for you) Can you keep me alive? (Searching in vain for you) Faces, humans, surrounding me, I Feel dead to all these other souls here Each face portends misery yet Still I search them, hope defeated breeds rage Waiting for the disappointment Their eyes reflect, fury fades to sorrow No, no more hope They fail I don't forgive them So alone Alone now So so alone Something's got to change I need an end To this unyielding Torturous descent Madness it awaits me Daughters of Nyx Now unleash my mind Water flows onward Needing no reason I am not thus Give me some will to live I am not thus I am not thus I am not thus I am not thus Calm, cool night air Caresses me Peace reigns without War within And, with sudden will to action I cast a stone Kill the stillness of the water Ruined, like my soul Waves wash over me To cleanse, or drown Sky opens up and leaves me here So alone Earth clings to me, but not tightly enough A stranger in my home Light falls on me But shadows swallow all

Grief All I know Lost All alone Dream Vision Crude hollow gaze Fractured mind Blur This cruel mortal life Bury my sorrow now This pain This rage Awakening! Awaken hell Is this real? Anguish Torment Burn my eyes These sights These sounds Empty without you Without you here beside me Hear my screams echo Feel my blood boil Justice fails me now I’d give anything to go back Death’s hourglass watching you fall through Time Pain becomes me Wounds amplify spite Corpse repeats its death Cycles maintained Destruction of light Punishing wrath Falling You sink so deep Eyes black with hell Darkness growing evil This hell I hold Burns This heart I hold Bleeds Run Flash of lightning to my mind Horror Where have I been? What have I done? Fear has seized me My reflection unrecognized (Lost my light) On this night (Lost my way) Wrapped in pain (Cursed my life) Now at last (Sealed my fate) I accept Fate Here I lie Hear my cry Stories told Stories lost

Ice cold and still You’ll learn my will Feel this moment remind me how All emotion has poured out through a hole Only you know how hard I have tried Snow falls gently, erasing my life How could I have let it go? My reaching arms tire Saturn snears At my futile try in life Now exhausted I fall Here lies no one of note Who changed nothing Soon to be vanished by snow How could I let this go? I sacrificed everything for nothing I have sown Cold steel Now reap the Blizzard (Blizzard so cruel) Cruel daggers Of ice On open Eyеs fall (Like I have been made) Each snowflakе Exalts To join me We're one (A storm, I'll rise now, and rage) Billions untold Merge now are whole Blinding dark white Light black (Eyes freeze open) Lie back And see how bright your future will be (I bear witness) Buried alive (To my sublimation) Give unto all What I've received Bitter pedant capricious Proctor of painful instruction Howling within the vortex Punish naivete, as has been done to me Howl Why is the wind howling? If you don't know, you'll learn Why is the wind howling? If you don't know, you'll learn
