Yesterday found him today
Caught him at his last breath
These walls built to stand come-what-may
Lie shattered in the
ashes
His skin against this dirty floor
Eyes fixed on the ceiling
He has stretched those chains of sin
Far beyond all
feelings
Still, so still...
In his head a thunderous
Cry of desperation
Tearing voices from his past
Scream for his
attention
Behind those eyes a world explodes
No one there to save him
All pain that he's been passing on
Answers to his
craving
Once more
I will never leave this shame...
Falling beyond the point of no return
Nothing to become and nothing
left to burn
Stealing meaning from this child
We took away his reason
His soul put under lock and key
His heart blackened
from treason
But if you take from those you fear
Everything they value
You have bred the perfect beast
Drained enough to kill
you
Falling beyond the point of no return
Nothing to become and nothing left to burn
Watching unseen untouched
bleeding
Empty exposed dying eyes closed
Once he had forests and mountains
That were only his - listening to him
Once he
would run through the summer days
Catching memories for ages to come
Now he is dressing this naked floor
With his flesh and
blood, and times passes by
His trade of pain might just have lead him
To deal with consequence
For some change as time passes
by
I am the waking child
(Lingering, climbing, clinging, clutching
Craving, clawing, hurting, falling down)
I, the wayward
son of a mountain lake
(Of icy liquor tears, of a silent Earth)
(Of a rusty lid, of a wingless wind)
(Of an eyeless storm, of
fallen gods,
who lost their way)
I set myself on fire
To breed the Perfect Element
Will I ever walk again?
Falling
far beyond the point of no return
Nothing to become and nothing left to burn
(This is the end)
Nothing left to
say,
The pain will go away
Now you must surely see,
That you are killing me
You are killing me
Now you are killing
me
(You must never leave this shame!)
Now you are killing me
(You must never leave this shame!)
Now you are killing me
(You
must never leave this shame!)
Is this more than you want?
