This breath, beyond my last
To shift the flow of drowning sands
Scarcity comforts the stone above my grave
Dug from within myself
To bury me in my bones
To watch me become your tomb
I have watched the mighty fall to nothing
Convinced to act against me, in gradual suicide
I have watched the colors fade away
It all turns to grey, as I fall betrayed
Once cherished and revered
I stand here this day
Battered and neglected
Dead but not defeated
Cast aside as if there were more to burn
The stars shine upon what you've placed beyond your reach
I have watched the turning of blind eyes
To infinite slaughter, the death of those unborn
I am here to dream what you dare not
The eras that dwell beyond your last
These seeds to cast shade on seasons to come
Planted in poison, warped to futility
My gaze from below, above and all dimensions
Has witnessed the horrors that we're yet to execute
And upon my departure
All light will fade away
As you cling to life, choking on my ashes
The condemner you've made yourself to be
You do not belong here with me
Tides be turned as your sun returns to rise again
Trying to forget what's not taken place
On the foundation of agony that you hold so tight
History's deafening echo
Source and testimonial
Bloodshed reaping emptiness
No release for the live or dead
You've killed me once before I know
Disregarded yourself while
Thinking of only gluttony in shortsightedness
Why would you think that I am here for you?
Suffocation wrought your end
I've seen you betray yourself a thousand times
My resurrection, this hazardous hand I hold
To grant me stolen life in rebirth of the plague
My presence here, upsetting the falsely peace
This path we walk together has two of one end
I have known nothingness, birthed from deaths in vain
To change and sustain, it's all worth the pain
Come now, to me
With weary bones and wasted tears
With empty words from moments gone
May that which haunts you finally disperse
To empathize is to lie
I know not of your pain
Only those who have walked the desert
Can truly know of its size
I see it now, just as every time
Every time that my eyes are closed
You are stood with your head in the clouds
Dreaming of things so far away from me
Whether you choose to stay
Whether you choose to leave with me
Do not deny that I was here
Should you yearn to go, to walk on without me
Know that always, I will be here
