Colors bathe my eyes for the first time
Floating in a sea of sound that never seems to rhyme anymore
Still I feel the need to feel alive
A germinating seed in this fertile mind
With a hand that is frail and a heart that’s strong
I will cure my ail fighting this wrong
Though I can no longer speak life is not in vain
Where others would be weak I will bear my pain
Can’t you save me I’ve kept the faith all this time
I’m longing for your comfort at the end of the line
What have I received from whom I served
All that I believed this fate undeserved
Trapped inside this new world of constant chaos
Master plan is finally unfurled as her dreams are lost
Living lucidly afraid to shake the cage
Is the a test of faith or the final page
Est enim Calix Sanguinis mei, Mysterium Fidei
Sicut erat in pricipio, et nunc, et semper: et in sæcula sæculorum
In mei memoriam facietis
Sanguis custiodiat animam meam in vitam æternam
Nameless beauty commune with me in time
Bloodlines flow like rain
On the plains of sorrow
See my face again
In a child of tomorrow
Wanting you to see life is
Life is not in vain
Binding you to me the bloodlines will remain
Suspended animation
Sensory deprivation
A memory polished to shine
Deep within my shattered mind
Pacify indignation
With sublime intoxication
The ironic fate yet to learn
Cursed by my hope for a safe return
These parting words are simple and few
Look to the stars and you will find my point of view
Life on Earth will be sublime
At the end of time
Just one moment for hesitation
Excommunicating self-imposed
Waiting out the world’s death throes
These parting words contain no lie
The anchor’s away it’s time to say our last good-bye
Life’s a garden overgrown
To be tamed alone
Suspended animation
Temporized calculation
Relative stillness yet starlight will burn
Abandon hope for a safe return
These parting words remain with you
Look to the stars and you will find my point of view
Life on Earth will be sublime and the end of time
Time is an all consuming fire fuelled with desire
Burning garden overgrown
You remain alone
And all that was ever seen hanging like a cloud of gravity
I dream of my departing words when I said
I’d given up on ever again believing that light lies beyond my sleeping eyes
