I have etched the scrolls into my skin
The hangman's noose, 13 lies which cross the barrier/burial
There is a sin not yet commited
O, he of sleepless flight - be merciful.
I have found myself lost amongst the shards
Of a world reduced to shadow
Sentenced to a lifetime in this prison
Well, i should have taken this omen and ran
Abandoned myself to secret corners
Instead i turned to face the day
Treading through the storm of the horror
And decay
How could i be so blinded
Cut down and so misguided?
Caught in deception, in deception
O, he of splintered sight - be merciful
For i know not what i do
I walk the road that leads to an early grave
As tears stream down my rigid face
Well, i should keep one eye turned towards heaven
As i drag my body through the flames
Instead i turned to face the day
Fighting with the demons i have made
Spilled all my hope along the way
It falls out, it falls dead
Shattered fragments, endless waves
O, he of sleepless nights - be merciful
I have found myself lost amongst the shards
If only i had severed ties,
Ties that bind all my dreams to lies
I could have walked away from it all
I could have walked away from it all
And found that peace waits in absentia
