Time Held Me Grey And Dying
Seething the fire of the night And burnishing all of the life Her blades of light call unto me And the gaze of it desperately bleak The light floods in, fully surround As eve casts its unearthly shroud The meaning of life is bereft And stare through the face of my death Burned by the soul of the moon Bound by her trans-mortal womb Burned by the soul of the moon Sealed in her ethereal tomb Fleeting the feelings of grace And longing for evenings shade For the moonlight it calleth to me And her light bringeth all nought but grief Dead screams from beyond the walls And a flight of ethereal souls When the gaze it now falls unto me I am ready for the final release Burned by the soul of the moon Bound by her trans-mortal womb Burned by the soul of the moon Sealed in her ethereal tomb A raven flies out from the scarlet peak Mystic forces hollow us to bleak See the final rise into the sky And go we must obey Raven fly! Feel the eyes are staring from above And solitude the grieving memory of The time is nigh and slipping through my hands And fall it does the fine temporal sands Leave us all for the dawn Beseech the rise of the morn Leave us all for the dawn Beseech the rise of the morn

Perched atop a lowly outcrop Gazing ahead at the endless grey Dreaming of what could be Horizon moves forwards to greet me Heart heavy with bountiful sorrow Awaiting the end to greet me tomorrow The failures and lies of this life Strangles, and ties me down The endless grey Purging our thoughts We purvey An existence of no meaning And grey we see in our eyes For our souls are cracked and broken Then the end of our life And the words we left unspoken Crestfallen and meek in the light A grain of bleakness upon my life Feel the gentle touch of the end Soothing and his arms open And the grey we see Casts his bleak shade And we stare forth At the formless being Hold your gaze And witness the tears As the world weeps As do we And grey we see in our eyes For our souls are cracked and broken Then the end of our lives And the words we left unspoken

Faces of death the horizon And paling the walls of the end Jaded and into the garden Greeting the sky with our breath Falling and grim the facade The ego mystic and grey Charred are fabrics of nature And shades of our life Cracks appear on the inside Those emeralds back they stare A soul of harrow and sombre Screams of many are gone Gone! Lament for the silence And the dreams that do not fade Grave the black defiance Breathe and dreams do fade The envy lies in the shadow of our lust For we are the purveyance of death And the bleak falls short to the silent Furrowed only by the fallen These are but dreaming men Breathe and they fade

Grains of sand in the end Fall afar in the land Pale in our minds And our souls are waiting Flames redeem and rend Fall and marred again Pain in our minds And our souls are broken Blackness on the horizon Bleakness on our souls and Deathless are our thoughts and Helpless of our lives and Blame for our grief and die All alone and weeping now for the end of days Grains of sand in the end Grey the life that we tend And in our minds The pain that I am craving Fate obscuring to lend Another chance at the end Failing delight Goaded I relinquish Grains of sand in the end Fall afar in the land Pale in our minds And our souls are waiting Feeling now the hands of death Steal away my final breath My mind is under my command My soul is immortal and - Death

The snow, the white, it surrounds Far, covered in a shroud Bitter, the air and the taste The land and ice have embraced Frosts as far as the eye can see A cold that I always seek Laying still are the leaves And casting shadows on the trees Snow hearts Sings the lark to me Snow hearts Sings the lark to me Soar Droplets of breath in the air Fitting cold for my despair Dreaming of world beyond ice Wallow my thoughts do entice Shadows surrounding they steep The lies, and forth it doth creep For eternal the echoes of pain And eternal it echoes again Shadows around they creep Soaking my mind and I weep For eternally echoes my pain And eternal it echoes again Sorrows ageing beyond The will of the ancients abscond For the bringer of light calls on me And I am in awe of the wreak Blizzard of havok ensue Counting your time and your dues Finding the way to locate Finality will not be late Shadows surrounding they steep The lies, and forth it doth creep For eternal the echoes of pain And eternal it echoes again Shadows around they creep Soaking my mind and I weep For eternally echoes my pain And eternal it echoes again

We greet the night with sorrow Calling to the fiends of ages past We fear the sight of the morrow For the burdens that fall unto thee Fall down far around your side Tears of decay and your life Sleep in your eyes It beckons our hearts to go on I call you to the sorrows I am the flame of the night Child, do not weep For your fate; peace We greet the night with sorrow Calling to the fiends of ages past We fear the sight of the morrow For the burdens that fall unto thee The fate of your heart It lies in your mind And the way will bе lit And guide shall speak Now child go forth Into a forest of hopе The arbour silence Spark into the night

Where do I go now I've exhausted all options? Guilt follows in every step I make Crushed down by the weight of a thousand lifetimes My lungs burn with every breath I take In my foolishness I went too far I open my eyes and realise.. That my time was just ticking Like waves that crash on the shore; Once again revealing yellow sands There is a meaning within simplicity... Although I am now all alone; As I wander o'er barren trails Can't help but feel at home But I must wander on! I wish I could give an answer But I am so full of questions How I wish I could spend a thousand lives A thousand roaming the tracts of the Earth A thousand admiring the old Gods creation A thousand amongst the peace of nature The light begins to turn dark As the sun finally sets on my heart.. And I at last finally feel the decay Oh, that dark decay... And I at last finally feel the decay Oh, and I at last, that sweet eternal decay
