lyrics

You shall never see the light of day

Empty memories, weakly tied to your own humanity
In search for sanity your sick mind shall collapse
Turning paranoid in hopes of a rebirth of your damned soul
Faith was never an option

Dearth of will, withered hope
Dread strikes like a thrusting sword
Broken guard, darkened sense
Existential chaos remains

Eternally pleading for justice
in a world full of empty oaths
When nothing is clear
What is the greatest sin?

The uncontrollable urge to escape from reality
In search of atonement for your hidden sins
They will always chase you, they will hunt you down
With no more options: Run away, redeem yourself, die

To worship the nonexistent possibility of outer deliverance
only serves to preserve one's own captivity

As you lie down under the waning moon
You see the crows flying high under the cover of the night
Unveiling the way, the hidden truth

Like a false prophecy that no one can believe in anymore
Like the last remaining wreaks of a dying dinasty

Witnesses of your original transgression
Carried out to keep yourself safe from all you fear

Judgement, distress, waiting for an answer
Thralldom, imprisonment, no future to hide in
Sorrow, angst, a continuous failure
Too late to escape, shall not go umpunished

No hope of running away
No strength to go on
For when there is nothing left to give
Being tied to an illusion is useless

See how it all ends at last
Pray for a new era, a new beginning
