The Raven Age
Album • 2019
This track is instrumental.
Spent my life searching for an answer that never came These subtle differences consuming my mind again Something deep within me is screaming I’m not alright Can’t let anyone see this breathe out and back in line Take out my eyes, I follow the blind lead the blind Out of fight, this feeling goes on as these Towering walls crumble down I’m thinking why am I here, is this life worth living Lost to betrayal of the mind Whispering voices plant the poison there’s no way back Beauty unfolds as the sun rises all I see is black No more disease suffocating, I’ll find my peace This dead weight cut loose you’re all better off without me He beckons me, I’m drawn towards the peace a resting place, these demons don’t exist There is no light only a great abyss I’ve not the strength to stand and fight As these towering walls crumble down I’m thinking why am I here, is this life worth living Only to tell, if I’m destined to fail Have I lost to betrayal of the mind

I’m so sick of this repenting for the sins that I’ve made Thinking of an afterlife counting down the days ‘til I die Or have I made another mistake as mankind’s creation We suffer ‘til we’re saved Can you save me now I’m falling in deeper Given one way out there’s nowhere to run I’m worrying I’m worrying this time I’ll never heal I’m worrying I’m worrying this world’s standing still And I’m on my own with the days merging as one And I’m on my own this time this time I’ll never heal Wash away the fear that I can’t seem to get out my mind Everyday another fight I’m in the dark I’m begging for light As time goes on I feel more afraid Another reminder I cannot change this fate Everything that I have done I’ve done for us and now I’m suffering and paying for it Rotting this torment I can’t seem to get away Everything that I have done I’ve done for us and now I’m suffering and paying for it Hoping to God in this life there’s another way
[Verse 1] Look what you’ve done to me given this burden This crown of thorns as you’re watching me bleed Key to forgiveness no matter the outcome promise that I’m meant to keep [Pre-Chorus] I vow to give you all my life, the dedication, believe me [Chorus] Shrouded in clouds of mystery Making no sense of history Never to find Stigmata and how could I know? [Verse 2] Forever falling, the battle continues Reveal Stigmata and sever the ties You turn away with the wounds to remind you Discover all of the lies [Pre-Chorus] I vow to give you all my life the and fulfill all that awaits me [Chorus] Shrouded in clouds of mystery Making no sense of history Never to find Stigmata and how could I know? [Bridge] Now I find myself looking for somewhere to hide And I’m chasing the leaves in the wind Still I wait for the moment to finally see What the future is bringing for me Hold your breath, smile away Stand and watch your world decay Scars appear, sinner’s skin and now they all can find me All in time, find your place, a life sentence of penance paid Sentience paralyzed as this fire burns [Chorus] Shrouded in clouds of mystery Making no sense of history Never to find Stigmata and how could I know?

I'm crawling back into the shadow where I've always been My life laid out before me why do I pretend I'm screaming out with all I have and still there's no one listening, no one hears me struggling In the wind the leaves have fallen But the fire's still ablaze And there's a mesmerizing picture, but all you see's the frame Do we fight for what we stand for, or is this a losing game Here I am, like a ghost among the men And here I stand, I walk alone again You talk in whispers but I hear exactly what you say There was a time I'd listen now I'm not afraid Behind these empty accusations there's a life here for me some day you'll see it's just a name In the wind the leaves have fallen But the fire's still ablaze And there's a mesmerizing picture, but all you see's the frame Do we fight for what we stand for, or is this a losing game Here I am, like a ghost among the men And here I stand, I walk alone again I walk alone again I walk alone again I walk alone After all I still face this judgement, but they'll swallow their pride tonight And feast on some other soul, yet I still haven't won the fight This memory that I've been trapped with, I won't let it all define me As the frame starts to break away, will I pray for judgement day Here I am, like a ghost among the men And here I stand, I walk alone again

[Verse 1] You feel the water rising higher, but never try to save yourself You dwell within your castle walls with no one there to hear your cry for help [Chorus] As if the stars all aligned, or did you fall from the sky? It's like the heavens have sent down an angel to guide Forever facing alone when I'm an ocean from home I see your seventh heaven aureole [Verse 2] I've learnt that I am wrong in thinking You close your eyes it goes away The nightmare comes to haunt in your sleep but it's still there when you're awake [Chorus] As if the stars all aligned, or did you fall from the sky? It's like the heavens have sent down an angel to guide Forever facing alone when I'm an ocean from home I see your seventh heaven aureole [Outro] I don't understand why I deserve such grace within this heartless land I don't understand why I deserve such grace within this heartless land Solitary man my spirit has been lifted from this deepest darkest sorrow

[Verse 1] Enter the iron gates of hell and work will make you free Sinking into their skin, one by one they bleed A beauty to behold, fixated as she stands in front of me In silent reverie [Pre-Chorus] There’s something inside me that I now see Purpose in this bleak existence Falling means burning, we must break free I will defeat these demons [Chorus] I see the sun and now it’s turning black Empty of colour, but the blood running down I try to fight the tears and hold them back Locked inside this forgotten world [Verse 2] Another sleepless night goes by for me, does she still breathe? My soul has died and now my body’s waiting Dead eyes are staring through me Motion takes me to an endless sleep, but then he saved me [Pre-Chorus] There’s something inside me that I now see Purpose in this bleak existence Falling means burning, we must break free I will defeat these demons [Chorus] I see the sun and now it’s turning black Empty of colour, but the blood running down I try to fight the tears and hold them back Locked inside this forgotten world [Bridge] Rain blackened with ashes is scattered all around A place that hell wouldn’t dream to see Life beckoned by death, bestowed upon us all [Chorus] I see the sun and now it’s turning black Empty of colour, but the blood running down I try to fight the tears and hold them back Locked inside this forgotten world

[Verse 1] As these kingdoms divide us and tear us apart Eternity looming over me The tides of war are waging a sentence two hearts have made Blood we’ve spilled is on both our hands [Pre-Chorus] But it’s all over now and these walls break down and cave in [Chorus] A promise that I will keep this fire burning in me I’ll face a war before I give in Our twisted fates are breaking to stop our enemies waking A battle fought for your soul [Verse 2] I stare out on the horizon, see what we’ve done Fire burning in all our eyes The heel of Achilles will be the downfall we see Eternity cannot wait for me [Pre-Chorus] But it’s all over now and these walls break down and cave in [Chorus] A promise that I will keep this fire burning in me I’ll face a war before I give in Our twisted fates are breaking to stop our enemies waking A battle fought for your soul [Bridge] But it’s too late too late upon the wind a silent sound And finally eternity will find a path not to be found [Chorus] A promise that I will keep this fire burning in me I’ll face a war before I give in Our twisted fates are breaking to stop our enemies waking A battle fought for your soul

[Verse 1] Just another soldier is all they see And all they’re asking for is your sacrifice, so they live free Just another number to the machine A heartless shell is all A weapon used when God can’t save you [Pre-Chorus] Once the hearts of great men Are we forsaken? Is everything we’ve sacrificed now gone? Known but to God a soldier lost [Verse 2] Take away this armour, I can reveal I am the hero made of flesh and blood which can be spilled These wounds replace the canvas of innocence A masquerade to display strength when all your weaknesses transcend [Pre-Chorus] Once the hearts of great men Are we forsaken? Is everything we’ve sacrificed now gone? Known but to God a soldier lost [Chorus] Will you remember my name? Please tell me that I have not died in vain We’ve been fighting for what seems a lifetime alone now I join the tomb of the unknown [Bridge] Feel the fire, feel the pain of the throes In the end, we’re the same, any rose [Pre-Chorus] Once the hearts of great men Are we forsaken? Is everything we’ve sacrificed now gone? Known but to God a soldier lost No, we are the martyrs, gave life for our cause We are now God’s immortal warriors And lay to rest brothers in arms [Chorus] Will you remember my name? Please tell me that I have not died in vain We’ve been fighting for what seems a lifetime alone now I join the tomb of the unknown

[Verse 1] And as they rode across the sand All sworn to oath, the kings command And as they rode on through the storm With only robes to keep them warm And as the sun beats upon the face (our saviour’s pain) A holy warrior saying grace The message that they had to learn (they had to learn) A lifetime’s faith is hard to earn [Pre-Chorus] For he has spoken [Chorus] Bodies buried in the sand, journey to the holy land Converging on the path to heaven Saving grace, their only plan Soldier’s dying on the way, bodies, spirits lead astray The templar laden with a lonely road to save their souls they prey [Verse 2] Bring all your sins to erase and rise, or fall by the blade Such blind faith not hard to see (as they all bleed) Bringing death across the sea Messina port to the holy land (the holy land) All is as God wills for every man [Pre-Chorus] For he has spoken [Chorus] Bodies buried in the sand, journey to the holy land Converging on the path to heaven Saving grace, their only plan Soldier’s dying on the way, bodies, spirits lead astray The templar laden with a lonely road to save their souls they prey [Bridge] The freezing cold of desert night The blistering heat of desert day Was to cut their numbers down, oh, so cruel Before they made across the sea, onto the land of Galilee It wasn’t God’s design to see them die this way [Chorus 2] From the sight of Jerusalem to the sound of all the armies on the ground The holy land and the last crusade was almost in their grasp For salvation or for greed, they crossed the world in search of thee Bearing with them all their sins to the kingdom that forgives [Outro] Never was such blind faith put to the fore And it never will be seen anymore

Quiet the drone in the distance approaches We hide, and hope they pass us by Waiting in silence, praying they don’t find us And maybe they’ll spare us our lives Just maybe they’ll spare us our lives Desolate village of sorrow and anguish I stare upon what once was home Explosions and flashes leave embers and ashes And now I’ve got nowhere to go And now we’ve got nowhere to go Now, as the fire rains down from the sky I see the love disappear from her eyes I’ve seen the hearts of our people all change like the wind A helping hand, I cannot find Hold on We’ll find a place to call our own If I mourn, will you cry Together we’ll live on alone Life or death We will not live forever Or did you forget Selflessness bereft You looked the other way As we are left for dead Gone are the tears of the innocent child Each day you’re cursed watching her fading smile You must be brave little sister I’ll swallow my pride, whatever it takes to survive Be strong The fireflies will light the way Never stop, carry on You are the life in me today Life or death We will not live forever Or did you forget Selflessness bereft You looked the other way As we are left for dead As the flame begins The blackened rain turns out a beautiful display of hatred Nothing left Beneath the flames of where my love was laid to rest Sleep, little one all your nightmares are gone Rest in piece, and be free of your pain For you I will fight one more day Echoes of your voice repeatedly tormenting Reminds me of my mistakes How do I live with myself My conscious says I sent you to an early grave Have I sent you to an early grave (X2) Mother and father Will dry your eyes Now that you sleep with The fireflies
