Shadows Fall
Album • 1997
Can I prevent this loss and pain to hasten my release Or am I damned to existence alone Sear me child, let this pain set me free again With broken promise, never know what this life could bring And the time spent alone sorting through emotions Is a blessing that I know I cannot repay With only words I can't express my deep regret Of time gone by and of feelings that I'll never know Pain believed but never shared has left me damaged here My wounds will bleed anew, I am now exposed Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me Holds me tight in crushed embrace Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me Hold me tight is crushed embrace Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear Revel in my loss Sear me child, let this pain set me free again With broken promise, never know what this life could bring And the time spent alone sorting alone through emotions Is a blessing that I know I cannot repay Revel in my loss Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me Holds me tight in crushed embrace Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me Holds me tight in crushed embrace Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear

I'll not want for longing, It causes heartache yet this Singularity burns Just the same Hope for ash of memory, This is pure agony Eyes, they are too blind to see, This is pure agony I'll not beg for you, This is pure agony Knowing what's been true, This is pure agony Fall from your light world, Not again, this breeds fear My life weakens And the pain I hold tight Life hurts so now, I have no power here Cease living somehow, I long to release you As I fall I... As I fall we cry in despair Don't be lifeline... Don't be my lifeline, let me fall away Alone, desolate.. Alone and desolate am I the only one Can it be real... Can it be real, I can't go on If you return here can I not ease the pain? Forever knowing... loneliness.... denial... I am the last one Now would you look away? Leave me alone here, That would tear me apart As I fall I... As I fall we cry in despair Don't be, lifeline.... Don't be my lifeline Now deliver my soul Your love walks away... Leaves me as a child Exposed to the horror I begin to cry Emotions like velvet now caress my flesh... The truth that I run from Pure, would you run away And leave me here to suffer? Pain what did you want that I could not provide? Pure would you run away and leave me here to suffer? Pain what did you want that I could not provide Fall from your light world, not again, this breeds fear My life weakens and the pain I hold tight Life it hurts so now, I have no power here Cease living somehow, I long to release you As I fall I... As I fall we cry in despair Don't be, lifeline... don't be my lifeline, let me fall away Alone desolate... along and desolate I am the only one Can it be real... can it be real, I can't go on

This track is instrumental.
With Longing I recall Yearning for a caress hollow and empty, Unsheltered by the pain of the rest Not without justification, torn down for my compassion Free formed in emptiness Have I been cheated? Has all I have worked for been stolen away by disregarding what I most Yearned for? Relinquished all I deserve Fearing not for suffering, is my home and pain my native tongue? Loss and rejection are my family Nurture You are not the reason for my weakness Lost I hold you to blame for fearing love For my failure... accompany disaster and inherit the pain Torn down for my compassion now I stand alone Not sympathy just understanding I am shown Too far gone now, my thoughts are wise All alone because your taken so far A graceful end to life But its not over Disguised in a full mask of truth Those old words are denied With longing I recall Yearning for a caress hollow and empty, unsheltered by the pain of the rest Not without justification, torn down for my compassion, free formed in emptiness Repent what I feel Mourn disguised.. as life's seas are paralyzed.

Past the winds of your morality Behind yourselves the sands ran through They are the last ones to do action that brings comfort around you Nothing will be theirs to defend by they don't even bother to make it start Lies all around you is what you prove Wasting away to nothing inside of you All that which then rang true Lies and deception now show through Faith and belief in what was real can't be found in an empty shell Now as I watch your back I see your unity is a joke I'll take what is real over empty promises and lies I've not given away... to the hate at all In the hands of someone who appreciates.. from this vile heart I pay such a price... death's face I've not given away.. to the hate at all In the hands of someone who appreciates.. from this vile heart I pay such a price Darkness left, wings of life drenched in blood Angel..Angel..Angel..Angel. Coming from your action creates a reaction Left within your brain, cannot sustain. Coming from your action creates a reaction Left within your brain, cannot sustain Those that I would call my friends whatever you gave that idea Did they ever do anything for you without the promise of something in return? Vanity and false humility allowed to take control of their lives But to walk with no others, with no regrets and search through emptiness of my life Coming from your action creates a reaction Left within your brain, cannot sustain

Unseen wounds fade to the surface Agony I cannot stand You don't know what I feel inside these eyes Staring through your shallow body into the lies Watching life pass before my eyes as I hang from the knot I tied Thinking of what I have left behind, from this life I am saved You've destroyed all I've made What will become of my legacy I don't know why I even bother Ending it all is the only answer to questions at hand The question of life and death to all answered at last When they find me gone and they know my plan They'll forget that they hate me and try to understand why I ended it all by choice While they cry and mourn I'll be peace at last Pray for the end.. this life always feeling sorrow.. in life What I've experienced in this agonized depression Trying to understand and make the pain lessen Receiving nothing from the love that you send I have found the only wait o make the pain end You want me to look inside my head But its far to late to see what's bothering me when you already know my fate Dwell on your own life if you value it so much Dwell on your own matters you don't understand

Sworn I would not return here Now that has proved untrue I don't know why? I hold this deep inside me and I'll let no one through Defy me... deny me... I need you to end this I look to myself to see and the years have grown so long Am I weak and now I feel pulverized Consequences I reap by myself Those of you who don't know what I see.. endless fight for my beliefs I am alone here Here's the place where I take my stand I'll not be held down again Broken no longer with no regrets, I am my own Once you would watch me cry but never would you intervene Now it's my turn to be free from all this pain You cannot pretend to like what I am You cannot change the past... do not even care You won't ever take me, You cannot see, break me And if you are ever lost... in our emotion I look to myself to see and the years have grown so long. Am I weak and am I alone I lost myself You didn't want to help me through this pain Now I am lost inside Try to crush m soul and now I feel pulverized Consequences I reap by myself Those of you who don't know what I see... endless fight for my beliefs I am alone here Here's the place where I take my stand I'll not be held down again Broken no longer with no regrets I am my own Once you would watch me cry but never would you intervene Now it's my turn to be free from all the pain You cannot pretend to like what I am You cannot change the past... do not even care You won't ever take me, You cannot see, break me And if you are ever lost.. in our emotion I now see what what I am Can it be life sustained? My reality.. my life clear of repression I can't believe what is taken from my eyes.. my eyes.. but my blood knows My life, what I was born of To suffer agonizing way.. to live it heart full of fear The pain, wake me for the day... I die Look into you, bring me the answers to my life Now I can see what has begun Nothing's forever, our life is done I've taken with me all that you have given Nothing if for you Wander on my reality... my life clear of repression I can't believe taken from my eyes... my eyes.. but my blood knows My life what I was born of To suffer agonizing way.. to live it heart full of fear The pain, wake me for the day... I die.

Took a walk down my life today Broken and empty roads are paved with regrets and guilt I have made Crushing what bits of hope remain Do you want to believe what I believe? I don't remember how to eat, sleep or breathe Trapped inside this state of decay You can't tell me that I don't want to stay I know my pain... burn the faces beyond Kill me long before I wake Take me to my sleep I wait Stifle my breath with every scream I don't know when I lost my dreams All my hopes, all my desires now extinguished in my wills fire. It is gone and I no longer care Come with me and some hate I'll share You see no pain in my eyes, that is just my clever disguise I will not cry to you, You will not see the truth Took a walk down my life today Broken and empty roads are paved with the regrets and guilt I have made crushing what bits of hope remain Do you want to believe what I believe? I don't remember how to eat sleep or breathe Trapped inside this state of decay You can't tell me that I don't want to stay Suffering... lifeless age... face the pain... life's sweet suffering
