Riddles, Ruins & Revelations

The timeless tide That sweeps upon the shores of life By the seaside You watch me wave this life goodbye Would you be mine eternally Be my love infernally Until some day death releases me Would you be my insanity Enslave my mind conscientiously Until destiny sets me free You are the light, the pale dim light Still waning in my eyes, my fate in disguise You are the night, the endless night The one to ignite My courage to leave this life Would you be mine, my chosen one Until all things are said and done Would you be the one, my loaded gun Would you be mine the day I fall Would you even care then after all This is the end, last curtain call My destination written in stone Condemnation of life as a whole Onwards and onwards towards an early grave This is the time and place

Life's undone, was never meant to be I stray upon the edge of sanity I gaze towards a burning keep It's keeper still at sleep I wander on into a vast unknown Strolled upon my own tombstone I stare into infinity It's staring back at me Can't you see - my eyes are blind to see Can't you hear - the world is mute to me Can't you feel - my heart is cold and weak Too tired to live, too tired to be May my eyes forever be sealed Follow me on into the night I'll lead you on to the other side For these few coins I surely know The boatman takes us home He will take us across the stream Towards the shores of infinity I know for sure that there's no return You're smiling with concern A fading memory All is lost eventually Mazed objective Rejected life, refused to live

Summer's been waning on now, it makes you blue Nothing will last forever, you know it's true The leaves starts to fall, can't escape the cold All green starts to fade as the autumn unfolds This summer's been waning faster than before The autumn is passing by now, just like a breeze Winter's on the horizon, you begin to freeze The days growing darker, the nights seem so long In search of a strength that since long has been gone It's been many years now since you let life go I can see a waning light It does no longer shine so bright The skies so dark, all stars gone out Yet still I wait for them to ignite I'm right here at the crossroads waiting, still waiting for you I waited all this time for you just to see things through You couldn't find the time, nor the place, nor the cause You gave up on life, couldn't take anymore All this time I waited right here for you to show

Feel the walls crumbling all around me We come to ruins eventually Years of deteriorating The pain, excruciating How did it all ever come to this I stare into a descending sun I fall into oblivion I falter into wastelands and beyond I comprehend what my life has become Indifferent faces circle around As I am lowered into the ground Years of deteriorating The pain, excruciating Pass me that burial mound I stare into a descending sun I fall into oblivion I falter into wastelands and beyond I comprehend what my life has become We are all waning We are all fading away Like a forget-me-not On a midwinters day I stare into a descending sun I fall into oblivion I falter into wastelands and beyond I comprehend what my life has become I stare into a descending sun I fall into oblivion I falter into wastelands and beyond I comprehend what my life has become

My dreams of late have been devoid Mes songes se déversent dans un noir lac d'oubli I can not sleep anymore Où flotte à la surface mon sommeil en linceul I lost control over mind and soul All my willpower has been devoured A cloudy vision, is this the hour I've been waiting for so long For dreams that won't come Deterioration of the mind This is the endless downwards spiral It breaks you down time after time It's been too many years of decline Life wears you down, wears you out You're all done for this time, beyond all doubt Tell me was there a purpose anyhow It's all over now, take your final bow I'm falling deep into the night D'une charnelle étreinte, les ailes de la nuit I can not breathe, can't come to life Me posent sur le seuil de sa sombre demeure Descending down this downwards spiral These absent dreams and sleepless hours Racing heartbeat, my soul's devoured

Wander on and far beyond Through all these dreams undone I falter on through oblivion Into delirium Gaze into the eyes of death I draw my last breath I yearn for thee, my destiny It's all been foreseen Can't you see The world is coming down on me Ruination bound to be Can't you feel There's no more spirit left in me It passed away eventually Hear the melody of destiny as silence screams at me Fall into the arms of death All my days been spent Here at the end, won't comprehend No remorse, nor repent All that was, now on the wane Down to the last remains All said and done, all passed on Beneath the midnight sun Alight, I hold the night, so deep inside I can not sleep, can't dream

Dusty dreams and bygone years All slipped through the hands of mine Whispering voices still riding the wind That pass through the hallways of time I've felt the eyes of strangers staring a hole through my soul I can not deny, the demons inside Were always in control Is this a dream or is it real, it's all a mystery Each and every door are concealed You lost your way, you lost the key, open your eyes to see Don't lay this burden on me I stand at the edge of this life The abyss lay before me I passed by each moment of light Guess I was too blind to see I've felt the timeless waning taking it's toll on my soul The demons inside, were buried alive Alongside you and I Is this a dream or is it real, it's all a mystery Each and every door are concealed You lost your way, you lost the key, open your eyes to see Don't lay this burden on me It's too late you see Just leave it be, eternally

Winter nights and starlit skies A velvet light adorned your eyes That twinkle then somehow let go Now too far gone, like last years snow Somewhere in the distance I saw you turn away You're eyes were cold, they had lost their glow Cold as December snow And the morning light Will never come to life I close my eyes for one last time In the dead of night Under the pale star light I'll lay to rest until all stars alight Closing doors, a faded dream These inner wars eternally You speak to me from a waning star These arcane words from so afar Far beyond existence Where darkness rules each day You closed the door on what was before Then returned here nevermore Ton regard d'or et d'ambre, Alors que tu partais, s'est détourné de moi L'ont alors remlplacé, des yeux vides et froids Glaçés comme tombait la neige de Décembre

I walk through our time With my head held high I've faced all my demons head-on I've faltered and failed But always prevailed Manifold battles I've won I've seen through the darkness I've conquered the night I've followed the path of my choice When life takes me on I'm driven and strong I'm poised for the battles to come I'll battle addiction to the end of time There's no benediction for this curse of mine Unfold affliction, it's my inner war The warfare rages on and on and on I walk through each night With my head held down I've faced all my demons alone Every time I have failed And never prevailed Each and every battle was lost I fell in the darkness Was mazed, I was blind Never found the path of my choice When life takes me on I barely hang on All hope is now long since gone The burden of time Weighs heavy on your mind In search of a sign You cannot seem to find I'll battle addiction to the end of time There's no benediction for this curse of mine Unfold affliction, it's my inner war The warfare rages on and on I'm losing this battle, it's out of control For years it's been taking its toll on my soul Broken in body, I'm broken in mind The end drawing near, life passed me by
