Iris

Left alone With what I have become Close my eyes Kingdoms fall around me Crowned with scorn A heavy cross to bear Turn away I was never strong enough To face what I left behind Seeking comfort in anything That could distract my troubled mind The snow fell once again Guiding my journey’s end In solitude and twisted steel Haunted by the grief that I still feel Against an endless horizon The fire seemed to burn forever Another day smoulders into night Alone, I travel on Finally at peace in frozen isolation Where nothing dwells, but the spirits of my past This decision would haunt my life In the silence where all light dies And as the seasons began to change Revealing all that winter claimed Beneath the frost, in endless sleep A lonesome death for all to see Preserving where my failures led me Against an endless horizon The fire seemed to burn forever Another day smoulders into night Alone, I travel on

I opened my eyes To the night sky The unending storm Revealed itself before me Weightless in my resolve But, still a burden remains With this final breath “Please, forgive me” With every wasted prayer I’ve watched your body wither I’ve seen what you’ve become As you pushed me away Consumed by my pride I fled from your side And tried to understand Your faith in this wretched world That has condemned you The lights of home have faded Into desolation I gave you all that I had Your faith in this godless world Has lead you astray I opened my eyes To a sky in flames A cold wind lamenting Through the unending plains Within the frozen wreckage Is where I shall remain But, with this departure I’ll be with you once again I opened my eyes! I opened my eyes! I opened my eyes! I opened my eyes!

Here I stand, head in hands Questions unanswered Do you hear my words? This altar, veiled in dust So long I’ve poured my faith Still, you have failed her Or, am I just blind and powerless? Cursed with this need to escape my reality I fall to my knees as she appears Iris, stained with blood Fall (No life left in her eyes) Close your eyes (Nothing I could do) Nothing inside (How could you turn away?) Turn away (Embrace this) Embrace finality “My god! I’ll see the Heaven’s burn! I’ll never forgive you for this!” As her cries subside No sound broke the still Silence is all that remains Within these walls I now see clear I was always alone Am I just blind and powerless? Cursed with this need to escape my reality Forgotten, as I’ve forgotten you I’ll never let you take from me again

Crestfallen Two souls became one A vestige of serenity Grasping your cross Reaching out With your final breath A life departed Frozen and still In this silence, I know That you have found your peace The embrace of falling snow I brush the tears from your face I no longer remember When the world didn’t feel so cold I lift my arms for the sky And await this coming storm Empyreal flames Of my own creation I will wait forever For my salvation Before I surrender My faith unto you You who has taken Everything from me Winter descends Like ashes from the divine Breathe in the fire Let it swallow you whole Close your eyes I know I have failed you Child of light Go now, your heaven awaits Empyreal flames Of my own creation I will wait forever For my salvation Before I surrender My faith unto you You who has taken Everything

With every passing day I’ve endured my mistakes And cursed the failing light That is should forever fade I stand now in the ashes Of a world become a tomb Every thought, another grave Interred with memories of you Bury me in my agony Drown me underneath all that I’ve lost I’ve grown tired of the light Of holding on to ghosts And longing for lost days I’m faced with my failures When I close my eyes I’ll pray for all of this to end Lowered down Into the waiting Earth A veil of soil Concealing your pain One day I can only pray That time corrodes This memory of you Cast away From this grey world Into oblivion And constellations Take this Earth From beneath me “Iris!” “Please, come back to me!” “Come back to me!” I’ve grown tired of the light Of holding on to ghosts And, longing for lost days I’m faced with my failures When I close my eyes I’ll pray for all of this to end

Years have gone I hide behind a face That's not my own Can no one hear me? The night is long It mocks my weary faith I am alone My god, why have you gone? Voices of winter Beckon me forward Your words are ghosts That haunt the frozen air A fragile beacon that shines Through this bleak nightmare Restless hours In tranquil decay I wander the desolation Where only ashes remain This place once familiar Is now long forgotten Derelict arms reach out In desperation Buried alive In the graves I have made All that I know Is this reverie A vision of pale limbs Frozen forever Statuesque, as you A monument to failure This gathering darkness Shall never depart The misery of bereavement Consuming my thoughts This bitter season Becomes my prison Rending my heart All hope departs Buried alive In the graves I have made All that I know…

Waiting for the end again The time has come to pass, my friend Waiting for this final judgement I’ve never felt this close to God I can barely see the sun I guess this path was truly flawed Judgement comes with revelation And, I’ve never felt so close to God Waiting for the end again Waiting for the end again Waiting for the end again Waiting for the end Waiting for the end again The time has come to pass, my friend Judgement comes with revelation I’ve never felt this close to God
