Faith in Extinction
You live your life pretending Everything is fine You speak your lies defending That you're always right Empty and hollow, gazing In the depths of time: And you feel it arrive, and you don't know that I'm… Always, always here Always, through pain and fear Always, always here Always, to dry your tears A faceless execution Of a soul denied Of the only salvation Ever known as right Your lifeless shell is crumbling In the maze of life But you still feel alive, don't worry because I'm… Always, always here Always, through pain and fear Always, always here Always, to dry your tears

I closed my eyes And lay pretending Everything is fine Try to deny That we're descending: Never cross the line We became three Love never-ending Takes its toll in time Despite the joy And the breaths taken I've been missing you And now that darkness comes and horror is skin-deep Around me all the shades are dancing They haunt me in my sleep but then I see your face And then we share the light: silence We are two souls Growing too old Damaged control But we have shown That we can strive We never falter That we are the light And now that darkness comes and horror is skin-deep Around me all the shades are dancing They haunt me in my sleep but then I see your face And then we share the light: silence Days go by Won't deny… That I lose control Sometimes I Want to... break!

Fill the void her father left her with When he ran away Going all the way to see The things that lift her feet To try something before her eyes To see if she won't go I know it served her well that time But now the sky is grey She's sinking in monotony The ropes won't let her go I hurt myself by promising I'd love to see her go Seething in monogamy Her heart is almost gone And it goes, and it goes and it goes and it goes on⦠Just to get, just to get a piece of you Don't forget the dirty things you had me do, so Just to get, just to get a piece of you and Don't forget the empty shell you left me with. Feel, the emptiness inside of me For following your pace You twisted me in such a way it Felt like crying on your face Is it frozen deep inside you? Can I bring you to this place? A place where it is you and me There's nothing else you need "It's flesh and blood you told me" But I know that inside In the void, if you try and you cry you can find me⦠Just to get, just to get a piece of you Don't forget the dirty things you had me do, so Just to get, just to get a piece of you and Don't forget the empty shell you left me with.

A forgone memory of silence at the heart Of living sentiments hidden by the dark Of settling sands that speak of voices now unheard Of setting suns that fade… Long live destiny Bringer of the truth, slayer of the truce Long for thy remedies For the tomb of Ruth, journey through the night I whisper to the silence in my mind I whisper. Hear the void that's left behind I whisper. Procrastinate denial In this winter… A lone, lost enemy has broken through the veil To lands of mirrors that echo we're the same He sparks the light of change, engulf the life in flames Pyrocumulus, insane Long live destiny Bringer of the truth, slayer of the truce Long for thy remedies For the tomb of Ruth, journey through the night I whisper to the silence in my mind I whisper. Hear the void that's left behind I whisper. Procrastinate denial In this winter… Faith in extinction Faith in extinction There's no distinction Faith in extinction
