Through the Shadows

When laughter dies The silence remains Watch the fire burn out The evening star is dead The emptiness takes control We came so close Violent anguish is turning inside The malice you weep at my shoulder Oblivious to the snake in your heart The blood will be on your hands And do us a world apart I fall into the arms of grief Cold voices lures me in Child of bereavement Rise to anger Take place with the fallen Departure is the only notion we have left Within the solitude I am reborn I am the unforgiving season Loveless, uncaring and cold Spiteful void of all hatred I fall into the arms of grief Cold voices lures me in Child of bereavement Rise to anger Take place with the fallen

Staring into the void Senseless questions,they roam inside A dream turns to broken hope I should leave Glorious was the time I have shared Embrace the last remnants of my soul There is no dawn where I shall walk There will never be light where I tread The peril of what should be and never was Oh mighty abyss, cast your gaze upon me Let me take the journey upon river styx Infinite slumber awaits What have I become? My old friend It's raining again The time has come, for me to leave One lonesome road to desolation The rippling waves of the dark Caress the last moments The raven has come As I draw breath for the last time Glorious was the time I have shared Embrace the last remnants of my soul There is no dawn where I shall walk There will never be light where I tread

When the dust has settled The mournful creak below my feet In this gloom I still remember When my love still danced on these floors Moving with such tender grace I try to cherish your smile But I am left here The cruelty of forever I still cling to hope But I know the dream is dead I still long for the nights With you in my embrace Yet here I am, looking for ghosts As my tears resound through these halls That sincere laughter Still it rings through the shadows I still search In vain I reach out But for nothing Unforgiving is the sadness When the boundary of souls is broken

Old is the house we have built Slowly it burns down before my eyes Howling are the wolves They cry for us tonight Wither away my friend Solace shall grace you I stare into the heavens Seeking refuge among the stars This woe is mine to bear The burden is mine to wear The coat of snow My silent companion In the midst of this storm Let there be solitude in this burial For one last time I feel your hands The tremble of your fingertips I reach for them with soothing grace The hollow whisper of your name To realise you were never there I hold this candle close at night I will always remember you
