lyrics

Watching
Staring
Exposed from the inside out
Patient
Lonesome
Waiting for me to come home

The phantom dwells in silence
A coward in defiance
Its empty words and odysseys have shown its true intent

I've fallen into madness
A consciousness of malice
I led my people to their deaths while blinded by salvation

Failed to complete your journey
Tore off the mask, and transcended above worthy
Alone, you will cast your wrath
Puppeted by my hand

Illuminance
Of a shade in the open
Revealing what was in plain sight
The blindness of man, and the weight of our sin
Has buried our kind in the ash

Wandering
Thirsting
Lost all sense of time

New grace upon my eyes

I seek for what's within me
The love and power empty
My ideologies are scattered
Consciousness divides

My shell was left behind
But soul becomes divine
I reconcile for my mistakes
Through this infinite life

Born in a shattered garden
A seraph in flesh, but human is not forgotten
Struck by the light of godhood
The tyrant will make you see

Enlightenment
Of my mind, an indulgence
Revealing what was in plain sight
Our faith for your feast, and our souls for your strength has reborn us both from the ash

Why try to say goodbye
I cry for your endless lies

Reaping
Scheming
Lost all sense of mine

Graceful
Hateful
Listened while alone and
Looked past the illusion

Come with me now, don't you hear the voice that beckons from the darkest of voids?
