Lyrics
Feel the drain
and draw me deeper...
when life succeeds
life succumbs...
we live in light
till fear is reason...
the darkest life
outshines the dead...
life once lush
now twisted thorns
blasted gray
through wrath of time
undermined
the great tree
blots out
it's sapling sons
no pittance for the end
there is no loss for time
of the righteous
a gleaming sarcophagus
a spent vessel
enshrined
encaged,
enslaved
and sapped of essence
a consequence
of need...
the nameless foster
my affliction..
forfeit the light of youth
fill my deadened veins..
unlock the bindings
of mortal coil
god and man
eye to eye
