[Intro]

When the flames fade only dark will remain

Somber cascade of decay

Abysmal blackness, Cimmerian shade

Of seemingly perpetual despondency

[Bridge]

Forever black

[Verse 1]

We must learn to burn in solace

There is beauty in the pain we bear

Vomit the darkest part of your soul and let that darkness take you whole

Hold it, and never let it go and you‘ll be stronger than you know

[Pre-Breakdown]

We don’t need sight

For eyes are blind

[Breakdown]

I know your eyes will see tomorrow if you embrace the black

Embrace your burdens

Feign eyes paint illusions false but also in truth

Nightmarish visions plague the mind, withering are the youth

I found in the darkness a lonely place

I took from my heart to the physical plane

And may the day be friendly to you

You cannot imagine what darkness can do

[Interlude]

Here lies your fate; it’s not too late

[Verse 2]

Pain

Separating the illusion of what we define as hell

And there is only hell here to see

Through all of the glory we find in the hurt

We see through misery

[Verse 3]

Mesmerized by glowing eyes

Reflecting in the eerie night

Motionless I stand before thee

Filling your heart with fear

[Verse 4]

And as the skies were filled with fire I let the dark take hold

And what I found is the weight had been lifted

As I let my darkness go

[Chorus]

FOR WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT BALANCE

AND WHAT IS DARK WITHOUT LIGHT?

THOUGH I MAY LOVE BEING ONE WITH DARKNESS

WE COULD ALL USE A LITTLE LIGHT

[Outro]

This is illumination

Incineration of the contamination

The silhouette of what used to be

As the pressure's building, all the victims to the vicious binds are nothing

The silhouette of what used to be

Cease the bleeding
