The Sentencing
Past, present, and future<br/> Heed to the call of its constant spell<br/> The very essence of life is questioned<br/> with each setting sun, with the light of each new dawning day<br/> <br/> The sunrise sends its greetings and feigns a promise<br/> May good tidings steer the uncertain path<br/> Sunset, it came so quickly there wasn't a chance<br/> and the moon laughs, your daytime dreams<br/> cannot be fulfilled through sleep<br/> The dreams of the present are the same dreams of many past years<br/> Still unfulfilled after all this time<br/> brought to your knees by the crippling sands that devour<br/> Race until the end<br/> Suffocate on the slow kill that perpetually damns<br/> <br/> Time is eternally falling<br/> Never to repeat itself in perfect symmetry<br/> Breathe in the malice, release a part of your soul<br/> <br/> Entranced by silence<br/> the deafening silence once more<br/> Destined to drown again forevermore<br/> The memories begin fading as before<br/> Destined to drown again<br/> Cursing the future, damning the present<br/> living in the past, forever haunted<br/> By what could have been, by what once was had<br/> The hourglass quickenes, caught in the spell of the sands<br/> <br/> Each grain of sand takes with it a breath of life<br/> Each breath of life takes with it a moment in time never recaptured<br/> Each dawn, possibly the last dawn<br/> Dusk may be eternal

Time had struck it down and laid waste of its will<br/> Growth had stopped long ago and it crumbled in its age<br/> Hopes once real are now faint whispers in the wind<br/> The cracks in the structure are the wears in the skin<br/> <br/> Gray skies are eternal in the dreamscape wasteland<br/> The sun had set long ago to flee the tear laden night<br/> Memories of what was and what was to be<br/> Echo through the ruined land that was once our land of dreams<br/> Your land of dreams, our land of dreams, my land of<br/> dreams... DREAMLAND<br/> <br/> It came to this somehow<br/> Through the years that sped fast like days<br/> Through the days that took the form of hours<br/> By the hour it willl all begin to fade<br/> <br/> Look and weep, hands take the heads of mourners<br/> Tears seep through aged fingers<br/> like the rain slipping through the crack of the structure<br/> And as the waves consumes, All hope gives way to doom<br/> Despair paints the skies grey, Entombed the halls run deep with pain<br/> <br/> At the ruins in dreamland, At the edge of time<br/> The sadness is swelling, And feeding the storm<br/> <br/> Thinking of what could have been<br/> But fearing the urge to dream<br/> The nightmare had descended<br/> And it longs to descend again<br/> <br/> At the dreamscape ruins<br/> A headstone to mark the world of wonder<br/> Where the landscape is a tomb<br/> For the souls and dreams that were sadly pulled under

Two had made one with a bind of souls<br/> Never forget teh dark one who wields the blade of three<br/> The third entity waits in the shadows<br/> Timing the prefect end<br/> Waiting to sever the ties of heaven-sent bliss<br/> <br/> It's the balancing of joy and pain<br/> (tidings of both life and death)<br/> The keeper of souls will give<br/> And the keeper of souls will take away<br/> A close listen to tje wind will sense the lost ones cries<br/> <br/> Destiny scales will tend to weigh more on death<br/> And shattered dreams, and tear swelled eyes,<br/> and hearts ripped within<br/> Adrift in the cover of shadows<br/> The scythe and angel wait to tear it all asunder<br/> The godsend union meets its untimely end<br/> One it cast out, the other finds its tomb within<br/> The divide brings the burial of both spirits the same<br/> <br/> Love took its dose of death<br/> The living's curses scourge the shadows of the beyond<br/> <br/> Damned to the call of destiny's rule<br/> The downside of happiness is its inevitable end<br/> Forever is nonexistent in the journey of life<br/> Is it better to bid farewell to dreams<br/> before they become mortal and die?<br/> <br/> Remember the looming blade hiding overhead<br/> Take blessings with caution<br/> The time is knows only by the angel of death

Awaken, darkness casts its spell again<br/> As the mist surrounds it stirs the shadows in the mind<br/> <br/> Thoughts can wander freely underneath the night's cover<br/> (caught in a whirlwind of moving voices,<br/> some of comfort, some of deceit)<br/> Solitude is the only audience and tells no tales<br/> The dearest friend may be the one that never speaks<br/> (mids have ben known to turn on themselves<br/> with their halves and disagree)<br/> But take care for in silence...<br/> your own thoughts may drive your mad<br/> <br/> Some cannot endure<br/> even in sleep they still suffer<br/> Haunted to the fatal point by the lies, the thruth and the sin<br/> Madness in some will lose still to death<br/> Locked away in a coffin of infinitie echoes<br/> <br/> The dark has an eternity of untold stories<br/> They're hidden in the realms of the dead and sleeping<br/> Where secrets may shed their true meaning<br/> In the night sky what the day hides van be seen<br/> Awaken, darkness casts its spell again<br/> The mist stirs the sins in the mind

Lighting bore the terror<br/> A crack of thunder commenced the death<br/> The rain holds the tears of a lifetime<br/> The wnd holds the fear of our screams<br/> Now unheard in the battle<br/> <br/> The time has arrived, no clearing in sight, no outside hope<br/> All is lost in this our own downfall, our own divine creatin<br/> <br/> Nature's cleansing in her own form of death<br/> The elements wreak havoc in combined destruction<br/> Wind spreads the fire, rain flattens mountains<br/> Burned, drowned, crushed into dust<br/> In the endless downpour the soyls's screams are hushed<br/> A spirituall hell of the earth's ill will<br/> No time to prepare for demise<br/> Enough time to be rapes by the terror<br/> <br/> Unheard in the storm, the countless screams of the countless dying<br/> Fear in the storm, that brought the pain and disintegrates souls<br/> Unheard in the storm, the cries for help for there nothing to cry to<br/> Death in the storm, death the start and ens, death upon death<br/> <br/> Leveling the hills of al existence<br/> Boiling the seas and consuming the innocent life<br/> Yes, in too must go into death's throe<br/> And all the screams are unheard in the storm

The shards force in<br/> Splitting the dark into clusters<br/> This time before<br/> There was a chance to flee<br/> <br/> Captured in a state of repentance<br/> The sins of the past are still-able to damage<br/> There's part of my soul that still can't forgive<br/> Just released from the cell of imortals<br/> Cast now into the prison that seems eternal<br/> <br/> The daybreak, my nightfall<br/> The light is swallowed by the monn<br/> <br/> The sun rises and sets together in one last mockery<br/> Just as the day had arrived it departed, leaving just ine soul behind<br/> Summoned with the dawn<br/> All past despair and new hope laid out before me<br/> At once it drowns in a darkness<br/> blacker that any day I'd ever known<br/> Nothing coming or going, living or dying<br/> My mind flooded just when it seemed to clear<br/> Years of pain back in a second of time<br/> This in the penance<br/> I had just felt the warmth<br/> of the old sun I had been longing to reach<br/> Just as I opened my eyes, they were forced shut<br/> Summoned back to the tomb<br/> I had created so long ago<br/> I must have been too far gone<br/> Is there no forgiveness?<br/> Forgive me...
