Lyrics
Talk of recreation
Opening the chamber door
Entertain the veil
Of impossibility
And bitter consequence
Beneath this pallid face of yore
Shattered fragments take their hold
And I fade away
Drained of strength I take my leave
The essence still remains
Haunted by what might have been
Sacrifice in vain
With this departure, I bid farewell
Pretend that this is all a dream
Wide awake, I can't avert my gaze
When reason fails, fleeting innocence
Draws it's final breath
Drained of strength I take my leave
The essence still remains
Haunted by what might have been
Sacrifice in vain
With this departure, I bid farewell
Forsaken with the darkness
Calling out salvation
Losing the will to fight temptation
This moment must move on
But the pain goes on and on
Someday I will break these chains...
Drained of strength I take my leave
The essence still remains
Haunted by what might have been
Sacrifice in vain
With this departure, I bid farewell
