Hamartia

I'm waiting to be someone else When I can look back through the vacancy Visit the grave where my soul is trapped And tip my hat to the demons before me In the glow of Devils light, I can see the face of God To judge the man that stands before the flame It burns bright, cast the Devils light, my soul is in pain Just once I want to see a tear... A small sign to show me you care Stomach ache, heart ache... I'd rather die alone. In the glow of Devils light, I have seen the face of God To judge the man that stands before the flame It burns bright, cast the Devils light, my soul is in pain The limit of my mind has reached its end I'll become the monster you say I am In the glow of Devils light, I can see the face of God To judge the man that stands before the flame It burns bright, cast the Devils light, my soul is in pain In the glow of Devils light, I have seen the face of God To judge the man that stands before the flame It burns bright, cast the Devils light, my soul is in pain

Dense fog burns the sky Vile air blisters earth Run, run while you can Every turn brings pain Run, run while you can Fear will collapse the lungs You found me Even through my best attempt to hide I can feel this presence creeping so suddenly I’m haunted by the ghost of yesterday Visits my dreams and steals breath away Relive the moments, I’m desperate to ignore I don’t want to feel this pain anymore You, show me The mistakes in life I’ve made I can see the disappointment in their eyes And I know that I will likely die alone I’m haunted by the ghost of yesterday Visits my dreams and steals breath away Relive the moments, I’m desperate to ignore I don’t want to feel this pain anymore Shades of the past awhile Impossible for the dark to cover So run Run while you can Soon Your haunt will devour

Waiting for the sun to shine Fever grows to burn the soul She's left in the cold of ruin Left alone by your selfish pride In the ever after Where the sky opens to black Wash the painted face away And hide from the shallow I refuse to accept your lies The absent breath breathes down my spine Decency is lost, the body shivers Not from fear, from your vile way In the ever after Where the sky opens to black Wash the painted face away And hide from the shallow Incapable of love Intolerable shame Voice denies the truth From birth to the ground Wading through fragments of her broken heart Your name is carved onto every piece In the ever after Where the sky opens to black Wash the painted face away And hide from the shallow

Reach for the stars I want it all Right here where the storm begins Diminished by waste Cursed by the one who stands You can’t steal my thoughts anymore Crawling through these halls of misery Who are you to say that love is dead? This has always been about the heart I have told so many lies protecting the drowning bride You can’t steal my thoughts anymore Crawling through these halls of misery Who are you to say that love is dead? This has always been about the heart The first side smiles with a certain charm It has fools all those around me

I've wished my life away Brutal dreams that come to pass I've made mistakes that led me here Forward punishment is regret I seek the pale fog that creeps across the earth Crawling through the muck The storm approaches from the past The aftermath of fractured lives I seek the pale fog that creeps across the earth Crawling through the muck I saw your God today Washed up on the shore where the feeble mourn His flesh was pale, His eyes were hollow Deceiving life in the setting sun Your God is dead A shallow hole to hide the truth Missing the earth so they can see Stonecutter will leave his mark The hammer swings so violently Carving words with archaic means Contemplate apostasy In a desperate attempt at redemption The pathetic urge to continue the wrong I seek the pale fog that creeps across the earth Crawling through the muck I saw your God today Washed up on the shore where the feeble mourn His flesh was pale, His eyes were hollow Deceiving life in the setting sun Your God is dead

Approaching the moment we knew would come The time where you must leave this place I wish that you could speak to me To hear your voice again... (again) For all these years You were my reason to love And I begged you not to leave... me There’s no life without you I will always be alone In this room you wither away Praying for your end of days I’ll hold your hand until the end My heart will never let you go (let you go) For all these years You were my reason to live And I begged you not to leave... me There’s no life without you I will always be alone There’s no love without you I will always be alone I wish you could hear me I have so much to say My words are suffocating Miasma steals my breath away For all these years You were my reason to breathe And I begged you not to leave... me For all these years You were my reason to love And I begged you not to leave... me There’s no love without you I will always be alone

My God, what have you done? Poison from the slime of the leech This body bleeds black Shadows of the cold bring hate I’m the one who sees your best I’m the one who feels your worst I’m the one who smiles I’ll never be your fool There was something in your eyes that night Bleak and cold I was the witness of your collapse Through all the wallowing she rose I’m the one who sees your best I’m the one who feels your worst I’m the one who smiles I’ll never be your fool The harmony builds in starry skies I remember when this was real A gentle breeze that moves my thoughts I won’t remember you for long A vast and open sea Watching dusk arrive My fleeting love Drowns with the sun Fade to obscurity I’m the one who sees your best I’m the one who feels your worst I’m the one who smiles I’ll never be your fool I’m the one who sees your best I’m the one who feels your worst I’m the one who smiles I’ll never be your fool

I have never loathed so madly To see my path so clearly I am still breathing the poison Crawl from the air that's burning Survive your plague just one more day Transcend the hatred violently Waves in the red cloth Wipe the blood pooled in my eyes Striding fair beyond the boundaries The ravaged earth I walk alone A simple glance to see it all Crawl from the air that's burning Survive your plague just one more day Transcend the hatred violently Waves in the red cloth Wipe the blood pooled in my eyes Transcend the hatred violently Waves in the red cloth Wipe the blood pooled in my eyes Careless are the whispers who scream out loud No secrets will die with me The vast and open sea will carry the word Across the ears of the deafened morrow Transcend the hatred violently Waves in the red cloth Wipe the blood pooled in my eyes

Wading through the days of old Splinters pierce the skin Finding no reason to hold the past I wave goodbye with bloody hands Burning bright, I'm lost in your light Pausing my will to absorb the moment Here at night, each time I touch your face The day’s worries melt away The only way for me to carry on Was to awaken my devotion I could never have the strength alone This new life belongs to you To you Burning bright, I'm lost in your light Pausing my will to absorb the moment Here at night, each time I touch your face The day’s worries melt away Indifferent past, modern scars Forward tomorrow, twice as far We walked across the borderline Take a pause and one deep breath Meeting our eyes before we step Forever forward, no turning back Holding hands, knuckles white Never greater to feel so alive Moving on and side by side Together a new day begins Guided by the morning light Illuminated through the distant dark Moving fast and forging on A great distance, effortlessly We walked across the borderline Take a pause and one deep breath Meeting our eyes before we step Forever forward, no turning back Indifferent past, modern scars Forward tomorrow, twice as far
