Stand by the mighty, kneel by the power

Pledge your soul eternally, look to the sky

Embrace what is left of me

Drown in a memory

Severance, my destiny

Built by my own hand

Finding yourself, fading within

Losing yourself, breaking begins

Deep in the sea, lost underneath

Can't seem to breathe, darkness to see

Leaving behind, looking to find

Race against time, hope in decline

Caught in the chain, cower in pain

Suffer in vain, claiming my name

Rage against the untold, paving the way

Paralysing, behold, tendrils wander

Glowing light, a beacon, lead me astray

Castaways and all gone, face the rapture

Darkest night, roaring skies

Agonise, misery

Siren, calling me

Luring me

Save me

Gone

Like lines drawn in the sand

(Like candles in the wind)

Though a mountain stands at hand

We cannot give in

In the dire hour, past (emotional collapse)

Standing at the crossroads of our destiny

False hope has lead me to believe I have a choice

When I'm just a victim without a voice

Pressure drives me deeper as the pain

Strikes my mind time and time again

So here I stand before you, suffering my descent (Endless suffering)

The screaming of the fallen, demanding I repent (Screaming agony)

So here we stay in death I see (Death and decay)

I know the one, it has to be me

(Voices are calling me)

Can you hear me scream?

A voiceless cry for help

(Twisting what's there to see)

Form another I, reinvent the self

(Pondering callously)

Cloaked inside my mind, beyond the broken

(Empathy leaving me)

But how? Yeah how should I defy my mind from fading?

(Bells of the dastardly)

Can I say why I'll try to save myself again?

(Toll inadvertently)

Gone

Like lines drawn in the sand

(Like candles in the wind)

Though a mountain stands at hand

We cannot give in

In the dire hour, past (emotional collapse)

Standing at the crossroads of our destiny
