I kept the sounds to myself

And then I saw how

I needed, how I'd drifted

It was all in the past

I survived

The dreadful hours

I dug the grave

I climbed back out

Waited oh so long

Dreamt of us

Alone walking

Through the cemeteries

Of our buried memories

Held the stillborn heir

To naught and less

Sung her to sleep

While she gnawed at the flesh

And we're all in the now

Bleak shadows in time

Echoes from the future

Frozen in the past

[Guitar solo]

A funeral of ghosts

Dread

Frenzy

With nothing to keep us together

Gateway

Darkness

Except the need to part ways

Bindrune

Clarity

At the crooked cross at dusk

Internalize

Flight

I kept the sounds to myself

And then I saw how

I needed, how I'd drifted

It was all in the past

(And we're all in the now)

Gnawing and scratching

At the roots of the self

Paving the road to ruin

Blowing out the candle

The fire within

Poisoning the lifeblood

Gnawing and scratching

At the roots of the self
