The Weight of Remembrance
Expectations crumble under my feet Like the skulls of victims justice forgot To know nothing is be spared defeat I was wise before the world fell from under me Solitude inside a crowd so alone in these halls Feel your waking mind slipping feel your mind start to crack Cry out into silence loud feel the silence engulf But it’s only the beginning The hourglass turns fast and slow I lost my senses long ago Times before fade into black These walls run deep into my dreams I’ve lost all of my memories The claws of madness in my back Sadistic tribunal passes judgment on all Asking for truth when what they seek is a mirror Holding the strings of my rise or my fall An empty future I can see drawing nearer

I kneel before this unknown grave Black light is shone And soul is saved Dear Henry, I don’t know your face Did you die alone Depart from pain With the earth above With the sky below Ageless time for endless dreaming Of your hollow soul Cold stone is all left of your dreams Is this the third death of your being My fingers tangle in the blades That you fed with your blood Will anyone recall my name When it is carved in stone I wonder what you thought As you did breathe your last I wonder if you knew That this would be the last world

Distant voices calling From beyond the wall Shielded and blinded Oblivious as the rains of suffering fall You are oblivious To what’s beyond your walls You are oblivious As rains of suffering fall Farewell compassion Farewell Farewell to woes beyond your own Farewell Forget all you’ve done Forget Judgment still comes for the heart of stone Judgment still comes Freedom in forgetting The cries of mankind spurned Indulge your isolation Content to leave them all to burn

Whispering walls Haunting me The light guides, the light deceives Lost in the darkness once again Fear in your steps, you know you’ll never leave To walk in the sunlight once again Cast off the self and forget your name Narrator speaks Of paths that I cannot see The whispers comfort The voices lie I have seen But I’ve never known A world beyond shadow I’ll find it alone, I’ll find it alone Lost in the darkness, you are not saved No past or future waiting in the after There is no sun, no hope for salvation The light never nears, your soul is forgotten

I cry out for you With all of my heart But know I’ll hear nothing Nothing but the rain The ravages of time take all your faith The veil of ignorance hides all of your pain Unlucky I to see such days I wish that I still knew how to pray But when I look up to the sky And I see nothing but the stars Recite the words etched in my heart Without answer from above The days that I I felt so safe I felt so loved The cold fractured stone That digs in my knees Reminds me of how this used to feel

I: The Departure The way unknown Through shadows at dusk The creeping shades the valleys cast The Path unfolds A step at a time Each step ignores the last Each mistake accumulates To lead me here The threshold of my life Behind the warmth of life I’ve known Ahead the fear of dark and cold Is never known Inevitable choice To leave is not to leave To stay is to stay forever Never Return Slowly you forget the feel of home The grass under your feet Slowly you become a creature of the road Unmoored from every shore II: The Vale I have lost the paths that vanish in the mist Each step that seemed so sure, has lead to the abyss Disappear into darkness, never to be found The lost connection back to who you once were I’ve lost all sense of the me who started on this road I am not who I was The shadows hide you They guard and protect you Till you belong here evermore I have found, a Path through the mist The one I was before, I leave behind in the abyss III: The Path The stars on the horizon They fade into a long awaited dawn Alone in vast indifference You turn away from what you thought you knew was wrong You’re still the same But the earth changed beneath your feet You’re still the same But the earth changed, it changed without you IV: Home You can go home, but you’ll never be home again You can go home, but you’ll never be home again
