Premonitions

Truth, it bleeds from words of madness Beyond what we perceive. Is this grey world that we see More real than the dreams we seek? How I long to be real To know the endless truth that mountains know Must I end to feel such timeless peace? For there is none in the grey Only masks, only words without meaning Truth, it bleeds from words of madness Beyond what we perceive. Is this grey world that we see More real than the dreams we seek? They showed me their truth A concrete monolith that cast no shadow But slowly I see the intangible is uncorrupted I’ll leave this place To walk in worlds that never were To mourn what never was For only this is real Truth, it bleeds from words of madness Beyond what we perceive. Is this grey world that we see More real than the dreams we seek? Behold with sleepless eyes Beyond the grey An echo rings A whispered dream The truth beyond the real is everything

In this desolate cold world, I am forsaken I stand alone in the depths of despair A hidden portrait A ceaseless wonder of time Forbidden realm of dreams Will I ever become one with such place? Starlit skies smile upon me Seeping matter pulsates Beneath dark soil I awaken A sacred rite From which I rise As the suns rays die And my wings no longer fly Desperate I flail in the nothingness Held down, anxious, with no breath Consciousness fades away All light disappearing as day shall never break The opportunity has come and gone Feelings of bliss see no dawn Forthcoming displeasures so great Here, I meet my fate Beneath dark soil I awaken A sacred rite From which I rise The turning season To return The dark is waiting I. Shall. Perish.

The curtain falls Desolation and decay enthralls Upon this horrendous scene Somehow, a strange beauty gleams The forceful descent slowly dawns No caress to fall upon This hidden portrait A ceaseless wonder of time We reach out and what do we find? Not a whisper in the wind A slither in the cracks, Not a soul on this plain Tears of the Earth begin to rain The tears of the earth Desolation enthralls Upon this horrendous scene Failure, to fulfil our dreams Sorrow, our hopes recede Hatred, seemed our only path Shadows, will ever last Newborn rivers begin to flow An elusive story never to be told Into oblivion we fade For the monumental mistakes we made Now, the curtains, they rise Forevermore, we watch with lifeless eyes

Sight returns Before cruel thought There’s such grief in waking I long to drift unknowing here But memory soon Breaks me anew Again that dreadful whisper It moves across the drowning tide I hide in broken towers But still it knows all that I’ve done Will I become this darkness? Will I forget all that I was? Only you There’s only you Now the ghosts drifting forward In the dark of the void But I do not stand alone As I ever have before And I hear the words resound In your voice, “take my hand” No, I do not stand alone As I ever have before And I hear the words resound In your voice, “take my hand” No, I do not stand alone as I ever have before Here we stand at the heart Of this hopeless world of chaos No we do not stand alone As we ever have before

Glaring at the horizon Blood boils An insurmountable rage and the memory of you is too much to withstand The indoctrination behind your words Permitting the fall of us all You are not of this world I banish you henceforth You shall not walk amongst us Not a flicker of hope for you I condemn who you are Who you’ve always been The steel mask no longer shielding you Free-falling from heights so great Your place in the clouds won’t hold you for long The time has come to set your feet on the ground Or you will disintegrate You raise on a throne others made And you think that your prize will not choke you Savour your short lived reign For the ones you’ve tried to break will rise against you Soon and certain the day of your fall When you’ll know that my winged curse has found you You will burn! The indoctrination behind your words Permitting the fall of us all You are not of this world I banish you henceforth For all you believed you were For all the pain and hurt For all that which you caused You will eventually fall Compassion has come up short You’re banished!

I scream at the skies Wondering how it all came to pass I reach out to you Dark matter between us You remain unattainable I claw my way through the pits of desolation Only to fail I fall I crawl I sob I break Can you recall these fleeting moments? A hollow temple where death comes in strides I puncture these remnants of ache and horror Only for them to burst onto me I have ruined all that we were I now stand beside myself Hellish abyss A path with no escape Feasting on my sanity I fall I crawl I sob I break I mourn the memories of your light The sight of an uncertain future It taints what we once were Dying in the midst of ephemeral bliss Awaiting an eternal scorn Shades of black begin to take form A waning breath that can only mutter one final thought... Why?
