Vast Oceans Lachrymose

"I set my heart out to sea,
hoping someday my love would return to me,
yet the years have passed like waves,
and I have fatigued with age,
in lachrymal oceans vast,
deserts of time have washed away
The passage of time implies progression,
yet I've become stone,
watching worlds dying,
negating the solace I've never known"

So long ago, I set out to sea, forsaken by god and man
Visions of passion, glory and gold beckoned from distant lands
I left behind all I had known, aspiring to live, love, and conquer
Unaware that these futile pursuits would only yield a drifting sepulchre
Desperate
I have traversed
The seas of
Sorrow
Aimlessly drifting for many a year, cursing this fated endeavor
Hopeless, I accept that the solace I've sought will elude me forever
Straining against the maelstrom unbound, my limbs frailed and broken
Splintered apart after storm upon storm, my heart and hopes have sunken
Desolate
I have succumb
to the seas of
Sorrow
So long ago...

Sunk into the corner
Where the forlorn drift to die
A broken man stares into his glass
With weeping eyes
Drinking away this empty life
I’m bleeding to death inside
Torn apart by bladed words
In sorrow capsized
I gave myself completely and deeply
But that was never enough for you
More alone than ever,
Your knives have finally pierced on through (my heart)
Drinking away this lonely life
I’m bleeding to death inside
Torn apart by bladed words
In sorrow capsized
Now, I know I will die alone
Cold and broken…
Now, I know Hell is my destiny
You took everything from me…everything…
I am the desolate one
Bleeding
You took everything from me…everything…
Drinking away this waste of life
I’m bleeding to death inside
Torn apart by bladed words
In sorrow capsized
I gave my heart up to your knives
I’m bleeding to death inside

The Drowning Years
04:44
|
|
||
These empty years, in sadness repose
What once were joys now have become sorrows
I drank them all away
Once, I held hopes, loves, and dreams…now they’ve sunken into the sea
And I’ve no one left to save me from drowning eternally
I drank them all away
I drank myself away

Of Empires Forlorn
07:11
|
|

Damned, I crawled valleys silenced with death
Through the seas of carnage, over mountains of regret
Reaching summits only to behold barren wastes endless
Just when I needed you the most
You had forsaken me
To this kingdom of ghosts
Bleak are the skies above this ruin
I’ve found no solace in cathedrals fallen
I am so far from the light and warmth of Heaven
To the hell of myself
Alone I am damned
To weep for you
Now, above this vast ruin alone I stand
All light and hope has fled my kingdom and land
Betrayed by bride and brethren, my heart burst in your hands
Forlorn empires
My kingdoms damned
Forlorn empires
I am damned

Vessel
06:54
|
|

Stranded upon a desperate shore, afraid
that the sea could wash all of our dreams away
into it's everflowing infinity...
or do these tides hold for us sanctuary?
Tonight, will you sail away
with open arms and eyes ablaze?
Believe...in me...
With passion I've built this vessel for us to wander
these oceans that rage within each other
and though the waves, as if to resist, will arise
If we have faith, ne'er will we capsize
Tonight, will you sail away
with open arms and eyes ablaze?
Believe...in me...
Guided by our hearts aflame like the stars above
The journey to heaven begins with this deepest of loves
Have faith without fear, open your heart, breathe and believe
Together we'll find our peace somewhere across the seas
Tonight we will sail away
with open hearts and eyes ablaze
Believe...in me...

Thus With A Kiss I Die
19:05
|
|
||
Tears fall from my somber stare
Abandoned and nobody cares
I watched you walk away
As if I were never there
You said you’re not the only one in this world
Yet you’re the only one I’ve ever loved
From my sole sanctuary exiled
And likewise heaven above
You have forsaken me
Sleepwalk to the gallows
To expel my hollow soul
Unto fire, unto cold
Into hell I must go
A broken heart, a broken wing, I’m falling
Into this pain deep within
Infinitely spiraling
To my sorrow-filled end
You have foredoomed me
“When again these eyes you gaze into
You’ll see I’m still reaching for you”
“How could you leave me here?”
You have forgotten me
