They say every ending is a new beginning but what if the beginning feels like the end? What if you're standing at the precipice looking back at everything you've lost?

The ancient cosmic dust Now drifts in icy currents I trace the lines of galaxies But find only the void The pulsars of our secrets Just static in the ether Where i once found you Is only a dying sun

You were my constellation, now scattered to dust.

I whisper to the cosmos For echoes of your Prescence But only the vacuum answers As all the bonds we forged They crumble to the ground It haunts me still to this day

We are the cursed, and ride on blackest wings

Clad in armor Born for conquest No noble purpose Just sacred duty

The boltgun silence My brothers fallen No glorious battle a thousand lifetimes

A broken spirit In grim shadows The emperors light Lost in this dream Never to mend I descend A fading gleam lost in the dream

Just ash and rust! Where heroes stood! Misery eternal!

Is there nothing left but this hollow shell i inhabit? In this god forsaken place we have to make our own meaning Find our own path forward, but no one can get through life alone

Thought we had something special, the only thing that means anything is the connection that we have with others

But that's over, its gone A requiem for a life that never was An unsung epitaph held within Why bother reciting it now? That time has passed Only haunting echoes remain, what was before that has now been lost. Leaving an empty husk Just a frozen heart in a dying world

Remember when our bond was strong? Remember the joyous times before this song? Ties grow weak. Obligation wanes and bleeds (bleeds) You've grown tired and resentful, and so have I.

Where did it all go wrong? Was it you or me? Love devolved into a lust for separation We can't go back. The times before are dead and gone.

Never will I love again. All paths lead towards these dead ends. This labyrinth has no exit, but there is a way out. Never will I live again. All paths lead towards these dead ends. This prison has no exit, but there is a way out.

Remember when our bond was strong? Remember the times where we got along? Remember those times when I am gone.

Remember me how I was, instead of how I am.

Time does not heal Festering anger leads to resentment

Open them all Exsanguination

Now departed Is this what you wanted?

Haunt the planes Wander endlessly

What can I do, what can I say

After I've taken the blame?

You say you're through, you'll go your way

I don’t belong into this abscess

Sprawling in the guts of society

Festering right into the heart

Bathed in the light of a dew kissed dawn

The wolf nods his head toward the rising sun

His hot breath smoking like spirits in the wind

Death Knell Tolls

Curtain Falls

Light Fades

Forever Silent

Death Knell Tolls

Curtain Falls

Light Fades

Forever Silent

Final light from the crooked cross

a final whispered plea

will these doubts find solace

forever haunting me

Doubt is all that i know

its finally taking toll

my hands once strong

now grow frail and cold

Ghosts with no faces haunt me now

Pointing at me and laughing so loud

Death Knell Tolls

Curtain Falls

Light Fades

Forever Silent

Death Knell Tolls

Curtain Falls

Light Fades

Forever Silent

My prayers never once answered

Now hollow and monotone

The marble kneeler

stained with tears of burden

I stand upon the precipice

stare into the unknown

the flickering candle

extinguished for good

Death Knell Tolls (No More Light)

Death Knell Tolls (Only Darkness)

Never in my dreams I thought I'd be with you

You're often on my mind, I'll always love you

When I close my eyes just to see your face

What in the world's come all over me?

I ain't got a chance of one in three

Ain't got no rap, ain't got no line

Burning the symbols

Crying in vain

Faithless inferno

I'm thinking tonight of my entire life as a whole

Oh and what it might mean if I ever get back in control

Alone and forsaken by everyone I've ever known

Hell i even abandoned myself some years ago

And I'm hardly holding on

But I ignore things and I move sideways

'Til I forget what I felt in the first place

So you go your way, wild one

I'll try and follow

And if you change your mind
