Silent Atonement
The chimney smoke keeps me barely here<br/> In this room, a quiet despair<br/> Six years since you left me on the ledge<br/> My love couldn’t help break your fall<br/> Your ghost lingers present in the scent<br/> Your touch just as real as before<br/> <br/> Why are you still with me?<br/> Drifting in and out<br/> Why do you follow me?<br/> And Taunt me with your memory.

I’m running through the wasteland<br/> From a life that wasn’t real<br/> The path that leads me onwards<br/> Is almost like a dream<br/> Is there no way to...<br/> <br/> Escape this life<br/> Your heart – I feel it breaking<br/> What was, is now<br/> Destroyed<br/> Forgotten<br/> <br/> See inside the window<br/> The face that never came<br/> Hollowed and forgotten<br/> The guestbook reads his name<br/> If you meet again, tell him that I prayed<br/> <br/> Gates open to the middle realm<br/> And every night I see them rise<br/> Frost covers all memory<br/> And blankets my past life<br/> <br/> My days gone<br/> Now a maudlin effigy<br/> Stands where I said goodbye to the world<br/> Destroyed; Forgotten.<br/> <br/> What was, is now<br/> Destroyed<br/> Forgotten

Up and over the railing<br/> Keeping the tracks from escaping<br/> Running faster than the water ran cold<br/> Bleeding you deeper than the hole that I dug<br/> The steam trains that now block your path<br/> Are the same ones we rode when we were infants<br/> The faint drizzle that fell on that day<br/> Has lead you to the tar pit you now call your grave<br/> <br/> The moment is changing, your colour is fading<br/> Your sweet aroma – now wretched decay<br/> Peaceful in your final pose<br/> A final smile captured your revenge<br/> <br/> Fading, failing piece by piece<br/> Nothing of you but your photo remains<br/> Sniff the air and fragrance is plasma<br/> The kiss of death; the most romantic of them all<br/> <br/> Fall to your knees<br/> And cry for freedom<br/> Your eloquent ways cannot save<br/> The passing of your final days<br/> <br/> Wealthy is the ferryman that sails the River Styx (Row them all astray)<br/> After all where else your soul supposed to fade away? (All will fade away)<br/> Ignorance is a welcome gift to those who want a piece (Come and take your fill)<br/> Remembering the lessons learnt after all the guilt has torn them lifeless<br/> <br/> Lifeless<br/> <br/> Up and over the railing<br/> Frantic, Kicking and screaming<br/> Dying faster than you can behold<br/> Glimmer of hope then the moment is gone<br/> The steam trains that now block your path<br/> Are the same ones we rode when we were infants<br/> The faint drizzle that fell on that day<br/> Has lead you to the tar pit you now call your grave

I see the clouds block out the sun<br/> The rain now it starts to come<br/> Something tells me I’ve been here before<br/> <br/> History true<br/> The land will take you in its grace<br/> These hills, they speak more truth than your lies<br/> Tonight<br/> The forest closes in on you<br/> Makes you feel the wonder of its power<br/> Tomorrow is now, today is yesterday<br/> <br/> Then my eyes begin to close<br/> I realise I know something<br/> I’m coming back<br/> I’m coming back again<br/> When I see her gentle smile<br/> I realise I know one thing<br/> She’s coming back<br/> She’s coming back again<br/> <br/> Mist falls over of Whitecross<br/> Bathing nature in the night<br/> Tears glide off her shoulder<br/> Painting nature with her life<br/> When the hills kiss the clouds<br/> The land and the sky reunite<br/> We have something special<br/> Hidden from the candlelight

Verse<br/> <br/> As I look down to the ground<br/> My headstone turns to ash<br/> Fragments of a life once lived<br/> Submitted to the past<br/> To a realm of insignificance<br/> <br/> My memories are like tapestries<br/> Growing more prescious as they age<br/> My soul, just a whisper away<br/> From decendants that don’t even know I can see<br/> <br/> Verse<br/> <br/> Watch my son have a son of his own<br/> See the baby grow into a man<br/> View the obsticles in their life as if I were living through them<br/> See my grandson lay a bouquet of flowers down on his fathers grave<br/> I know he lived the life he wanted<br/> I hope heaven is where his soul lays<br/> <br/> Chorus<br/> <br/> Will anyone remember me at all?<br/> Will my life seem somehow interesting?<br/> I hope I have impacted you somehow<br/> I’m forced to re-live all the mistakes that I’ve made through you<br/> The mistakes that I’ve made Through you<br/> <br/> Bridge<br/> <br/> Rotting… In a realm between life and death<br/> I know where I am but I don’t know where I’m going<br/> <br/> Verse<br/> <br/> This era is far from home<br/> I left the world one hundred years ago<br/> dwelling in this lifeless realm<br/> The ages tear my legacy apart<br/> <br/> Bridge<br/> <br/> Why?<br/> I wanted to touch the divine<br/> I want to rest amoung the clouds<br/> The mountains of the sky<br/> <br/> Verse<br/> <br/> Watch my son have a son of his own<br/> See the baby grow into a man<br/> View the obsticles in their life as if I were living through them<br/> See my grandson lay a bouquet of flowers down on his fathers grave<br/> I know he lived the life he wanted<br/> I hope heaven is where his soul lays<br/> <br/> Chorus<br/> <br/> Will anyone remember me at all?<br/> Will my life seem somehow interesting?<br/> I hope I have impacted you somehow<br/> I’m forced to re-live all the mistakes that I’ve made through you<br/> The mistakes that I’ve made through you

Twisted in shape… an Imbalanced form<br/> Like fingers of Gods the lightning evokes the storm<br/> Tangled steel the wreckage lay out on the road<br/> A sudden hush falls over the gathering crowd<br/> The Angel calls...<br/> <br/> “Come to me, your future beckons beyond the sea.<br/> You were man but death was your destiny”<br/> <br/> Pain through the core<br/> But yet, somehow there is still warmth<br/> Can I breathe now? Am I here now?!<br/> Blurred imagery<br/> A lighthouse from the ghostly shore<br/> Guides me, engulfs me<br/> <br/> Life’s Flame Dredged and Forged<br/> Rocked in death’s sleepless hold<br/> I seek out a way<br/> I remember yesterday<br/> <br/> Try to guess<br/> How will this end?<br/> It arrives<br/> Just close your eyes<br/> <br/> Darkness encloses<br/> <br/> Seeking out the way in which to go<br/> Ear drums blasting to your final song<br/> Mirror looks to mirror and reflection is askew<br/> Melting imagery of the person that was you<br/> Destination has arrived<br/> Upon the wings of your enclosing darkness<br/> <br/> Life’s Flame Dredged and Forged<br/> Rocked in death’s sleepless hold<br/> I seek out a way<br/> I remember yesterday

There’s something in the air I breathe<br/> A fleeting feeling I can’t believe<br/> When I turn around to see<br/> The touch is just transparency<br/> If only I could reach the shore<br/> Every day I would spend, looking for that which is mine<br/> <br/> Why are you trying to hide?<br/> There’s something in the air I breathe<br/> Lavish darkness unto me<br/> When I am old and almost gone<br/> I’ll seek the hatred in your soul<br/> <br/> Graceless touch from the air I breathe<br/> The mist of your spirit surrounds me<br/> Silence comes at the worst of times<br/> Even then I hear you breathe<br/> Come back to me<br/> <br/> There’s something in the air I breathe<br/> Lavish darkness unto me<br/> When I am old and almost gone<br/> I’ll tell you that you’re not alone<br/> <br/> Finding a way<br/> To get inside my head now<br/> It seems a must have come here<br/> Completely uninvited<br/> I’ll take away this sadness<br/> And put it in a bottle<br/> Send it off across the ocean<br/> Never to be seen again<br/> Sadness never to be seen again<br/> Send it off across the ocean

Fly from the trees<br/> Give me your all<br/> Make me believe<br/> That this is not all<br/> <br/> Unspoken, unseen<br/> A bond that feels no aging<br/> Someday we’ll watch the sea<br/> When time has shifted<br/> <br/> Take me<br/> Make me be your fire<br/> Take me<br/> Plant me in your soil<br/> <br/> Why<br/> Is it so hard to lie to myself?<br/> I will go on dreaming<br/> Time<br/> Will tell if the dream was worth dreaming<br/> Or the urge is left bleeding<br/> <br/> Eyes glance across the room<br/> I look within myself<br/> The answers can’t be read from page to page<br/> Time will only tell

Stretching time caused a relapse<br/> Now all is unknown<br/> This conflict was born from ignorance<br/> <br/> I am lost in this world<br/> In this lost world of the damned<br/> Sinking faster into this lost world<br/> <br/> You speak through transparency<br/> But I know that you’re there<br/> <br/> This is the last apparition<br/> The final embrace<br/> Woman to her man<br/> Man to her essence<br/> The final embrace<br/> <br/> Your dark emotions surround me<br/> You have stolen my light.<br/> Whispering my name<br/> My immortal death-wish<br/> Pull me down<br/> Hold me in the eternal darkness<br/> <br/> Tainted, painted colours of cold<br/> Hating all feeling<br/> It’s the end of the world<br/> Tears drip from the blood red sky<br/> It’s the end of the world

Falling from the sky<br/> I see you all alone<br/> In the flash of the light<br/> Your presence is now known<br/> <br/> Rising<br/> Feeding<br/> There’s a mist in the air<br/> <br/> Foul power<br/> Amongst us<br/> Your soul dives into mine<br/> Your hatred<br/> Your anger, Cannot compare with mine<br/> <br/> Deep greed<br/> Strong selfishness<br/> Traits we do not share<br/> Your curse - your weakness<br/> Just a shallow scare<br/> <br/> Wait for your god<br/> To deliver you from your haunted world<br/> Essence of the fog<br/> Your crimson eyes reflect your agony<br/> Drift back to the shore<br/> <br/> Wretched<br/> Howling<br/> The stench of ectoplasm lingers strong<br/> <br/> We want to see through<br/> This world to the other<br/> But we want to do so<br/> For our own selfish reasons<br/> If you could find<br/> Yourself in another<br/> Would you stop or just walk by?<br/> <br/> Broken by your greed<br/> Through moist fog you cry<br/> You and all you hate<br/> Blinded by all that is, now you are forever mine

I can see that you are waiting for something that you know will never come<br/> I can see that you are hurting from the one you’ve come to love. Where is he now?<br/> <br/> In time your eyes will match the sky<br/> You’ll fall into a world you always knew was there<br/> In Ten years your feet will touch the sand<br/> You’ll cast your soul into the deepest oceans<br/> <br/> I can see that you are earning, saving to get so far away from here<br/> And I can see that you are yearning to be the amongst the clouds and silver moon<br/> <br/> I see your future coming clearer<br/> Take a look inside your very reason<br/> You know it is untrue<br/> Don’t you?<br/> <br/> I can see that you’re becoming<br/> A shadow of the person that you were<br/> I can see that you are dying<br/> A death that you once hoped you’d never have

Close your eyes<br/> Touch the sky<br/> Breathe your longest breath<br/> You’re alive<br/> <br/> Your plight is ending<br/> It is accomplished<br/> Now you are home again<br/> While I drift through dream<br/> <br/> Embrace your sweet closure<br/> Immersed in a sea of divinity<br/> I know where you’ll be<br/> Drifting through dream<br/> <br/> At peace finally<br/> Atoned silently<br/> I can see you now<br/> Drifting through dream
