Then Comes Affliction to Awaken the Dreamer

Indecision makes me hide An utter failure to redeem Who crossed the line? Where is the clear Thought behind this? There is no fear That I might miss So it seems to be More we cannot say Words mean ever less And it feels to me Like we've gone astray Through the emptiness Where is the clear Thought behind this? There's nothing here That I might miss And it feels to me Like we've gone astray Through the emptiness And the need to stay Is all washed away Into nothingness

So quickly we judge There's no benefit of doubt Never bend, never budge How lacking in hope There's no weakness in trust Will you care, will you cope? Where to hide? This is the thick brick wall This is the stumbled fall This is how to crawl This is the weak in all This is me all small This is my wake-up call To nurture, not use Where's the quickening of hearts? Once was love, now abuse In you I'm confined I'm no longer alive Do you care, do you mind? This is the thick brick wall This is the stumbled fall This is how to crawl This is the weak in all This is me all small No final curtain call

Plunge into these darkest waters Enter desire Float in deathlike orchestrations Another attempt To reach a little higher Climb up to these highest towers Funeral pyres Silent, lost in contemplation Insight is shrouded by fire Oh, to be within Your garden walls Walk inside the calm Your marble halls Smell the naked, withered flowers Swallow the fire Taste the salt in rivers rushing Hindsight is all but a liar Oh, to be within Your garden walls Walk inside the calm Your marble halls

Walks into my room Where there's no fire left to feed And truth be told I would not stay If not for this I'd walk away Here our shadows loom And there's no warmth to quell the cold When all is said And all is done If not for this I would be gone Filtered through thin layers Cold core, an open sore To once have felt such pain But a fool returns for more And truth be told I would not stay If not for this I'd walk away Filtered through thin layers Cold core, an open sore To once have felt such pain But a fool returns for more

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Torn apart, would you like to take part? I've been down this lonely road before Discarded thoughts Minds laid waste With mindless haste Thorns inside, we shall clash and collide I'll go down this lonely road again Distrust about Grab what's not yours Such sweet hungry whores True, I've done these things before Broken, tear these ties Grounded, still I'd like to lift this spirit higher 'Cause this is mine Graceful hands at work And to dream it would be better To improve What you do not know True, I've done these things before Broken, tear these ties Grounded, still I'd like to lift this spirit higher 'Cause this is mine True, I've done these things before Broken, tear these ties Grounded, still I'd like to lift this spirit higher 'Cause this is mine

Rise above yourself The tainted soul took root Condescension bred a cruel addiction Shifting veils are pinned before your eyes Once awake, a sorry tale Once again, we all fail Trampled under foot by the Flutter Kings Motion stemmed by all those little things Tricks and treats with a cannibal smile All the while laying desolate another mile Trampled under foot by the Flutter Kings Famished child to dying mother clings Swooping down on venomous wings Nothing's left by Flutter Kings Moan, the cold machine Forever feasting on Those who cannot even mend their future Shameless hunger stripped of all it's pride Once awake, a sorry tale Once again, we all fail Trampled under foot by the Flutter Kings Motion stemmed by all those little things Tricks and treats with a cannibal smile All the while laying desolate another mile Trampled under foot by the Flutter Kings Famished child to dying mother clings Swooping down on venomous wings Nothing's left by Flutter Kings

Overwhelmed by sentiment Cleanse your heart Do not repent Rest assured Ill advised All be gone By crack of dawn Waiting child finds the way

Though it seemed so clear There was nothing here to see Though it seemed ideal Still I never really seemed to notice What was missing Though it seemed pristine Still I never really seemed to notice What was missing Falling to my knees in desert dawning Leaving hope in disarray Listening for a heartbeat Life is yearning Words spoken to will me on my way There is nothing here for which I long There is nothing here that makes me strong My will is weak, my mind astray Time is spent, I lost my way Crawling on my knees in desert dawning Building strength to cross the fray Listening for a heartbeat Life is yearning Words spoken to will me on my way There is nothing here for which I long...
