INSTRUMENTAL (INTRO TRACK)
2. This Paradise Crumbles
This life you lead,
Seems to bring you,
All the happiness you need,
The ones you love,
Stand right beside you,
In your times of grief,
The tears of joy,
Stream from your eyes,
From the peace that you feel,
From the love inside,
Though how could this last,
For so very long,
Then one day it turns,
And it all goes wrong,
This happiness in your life,
Has now turned to bitter strife,
You wonder what went wrong inside,
All you touch just seems to die,
The beauty that you adored,
Seems to be so ignored,
By a god in which you believe,
But has turned to deceit,
Those you love slowly die in your arms,
Their blood soaks your hands,
And won’t wash away,
The skies turn gray,
Rain storms to the ground,
The air thick, so black,
The walls come down,
The disease spreads,
It kills without a sound,
This crumbling paradise,
No more life to be found,
This happiness in your life,
Has now turned to bitter strife,
You wonder what went wrong inside,
All you touch just seems to die,
The beauty that you adored,
Seems to be so ignored,
By a god in which you believe,
But has turned to deceit,
What was once such a peaceful land,
Has quickly turned to waste,
It’s tears of blood that,
Begin to flow down his beaten face,
His mournful cries tell,
Tales of the decades of his pain,
He’s lost his mind, descending downward,
Drowning deep in gray.
3. Drowning In Gray
I sit in my room,
To contemplate,
All the reasons why,
Why am I here, why must I live?
Through these grieving times,
Overwhelmed by the hurt,
Deep inside my soul,
A quick ending to this all,
I lose my self-control,
With the noose clutched in my hands,
You can’t understand,
This blatant travesty,
Has become part of me,
Drifting through the seas of sorrow...
Condemned to,
Fade away from my life,
From the lies,
I place the rope around my throat,
And close my eyes,
Falling down toward the ground,
The choking sounds,
Finally I will see the way,
Though something went wrong,
I am still alive,
Trapped in misery,
Forever, in agony,
They find me hanging,
From a tree,
Bleeding, pleading,
Please don’t set me free,
Releasing the rope,
From around my swollen neck,
They bring me down,
Refusing to let me rest,
Why didn’t they just leave,
Me in my misery,
For all the world to see,
They must hate me,
They place me in a room,
No windows I could see,
They think insanity,
Is what ails me,
They test me everyday,
But can’t see the way,
Into my barren mind,
To see what they could find,
I fall into a state,
They call it catatonia,
So helpless,
They have left me there,
Never to awake,
But they have made,
A great mistake,
Drifting through an endless sea...
Condemned to,
Fade away from my life,
From the lies,
A dormant sleep that won’t last,
To their surprise,
I will awake from this state,
From this pain,
Finally, they will see the way.
4. Virga
5. The Catatonic
Why must I endure this strife,
From the ignorance,
In their minds,
They believe that I am dead,
That a shell of nothingness,
Is left,
One could not believe,
What the catatonic sees,
Through my eyes,
I see eternity,
A surreal world,
That fate could not perceive,
Tainted life,
Unfolds this tapestry,
The fear runs so deep,
In the souls of the weak,
Blind are their eyes,
It is answers that they seek,
I could answer all,
But they refuse to see the way,
The lies of Christ,
Keep them in disarray,
Though this is my prophecy,
They make a mockery,
Of what seems to have become of me,
They want to take my life,
Cover up their lies,
Avoid the truth I have inside,
Probing my dark mind,
To see what they could find,
On my pain they somehow seem to thrive,
They live with no regrets,
They think they’ve cheated death,
But now the truth has come alive,
The worlds begin colliding,
Their screams heard in space,
The atmosphere collapsing,
Burning through the face,
Their souls will never rest now,
For them, an ageless plight,
Their peaceful sleep awakened,
By the destructive light...
6. Destructive Light Of Dawn
The earth you see,
Resembles me,
A cold and dark disturbing place,
A world of god turned to disgrace,
A new day has come,
The suffering’s begun,
The beauty you once knew is gone,
Disappearing with the birth of dawn,
Cries, as the searing sun appears,
Through your eyes and deep inside,
Fear, of this excruciating pain,
You run to hide and question why,
A prophet spoke of this pain,
But you chose to just ignore,
You turned away, betrayed,
The feelings you had in your heart,
The seeds of humanity will be defied,
Until the end of time, you see,
The visions you cannot deny,
The destructive light of dawn,
Each day, grows so very strong,
Why can’t you accept the truth,
Your souls have died and,
Your god has too,
Blasphemy, a new life for you,
Still you pray for an end,
You can’t comprehend,
The sights you see in front of you,
The light that burns keeps haunting you,
You could not describe,
The horrors that you see here,
An epic tragedy,
Lives controlled by fear,
Sure catastrophe,
As the sun drifts closer,
Scorching all on earth,
They never will recover,
A prophet spoke of this pain,
But you chose to just ignore,
You turned away, betrayed,
The feelings you had in your heart,
Unrelenting, this heat you can’t bear,
Life is filled with torment and great despair,
The end approaching with every new day,
As you face extinction and cannot be saved,
Where is your god now that nothing is left,
He abandoned you and now,
Laughs at your death,
The sun is here and the earth is in flames,
What was once the way now dead in space.
