Ruins of Eternity

Oh spirit guide me through oblivion Through the memories of my mind Looking backwards never seemed to clarify Eternal majesty I held within Lead me to my paradise Freedom seeker, live without regret Reach for what you hold inside Take me to the past Let me right the wrongs I've written Let me be the last Of the ones you call forsaken Can we burn it all, will you take what I've surrendered Headed for the fall, under the weight of the cross I've taken

Stumbling backwards, I've nearly fallen From the garden to the grave Under the wreckage this great disaster Take me to my judgement day Half of the pages I've left unwritten Bounded by the flesh Mortal we are but not for long Is this a land fit for a man of peace? Half of the pages I've left unwritten On display for all to see With fear in their eyes as they look upon me A withered man I used to be Now I wait, for the hammer to fall Bounded by the flesh Mortal we are but not for long Is this a land fit for a man of peace? At the gates, the sound of the choir Laughing at me while the flames growing higher Stray from the path that leads you to ruin Don't lose yourself to the things that you're doin'

Looking out, into the darkened night so clear Wondering how we survived Born of fire, we learned to love and learned to fear Yet to find the reason why Why we live, within these towering wall between us Can it be, you are me, we are one in the same Why do we live, in this world of grave illusion Now we're free, we can turn the night into day Right of passage, from whence we came, from far from here From the darkness, born of light Everlasting, the gift of the life I held so dear Wearing out from inside Why do we live, in this world of grave illusion Now we're free, we can turn the night into day Must we wait, until the end to come together We're the same, just a flame that burns from inside Take the hands of the fallen Raise us up at the end of our days All is forgiven ...Now

Here I spent my days unraveling worlds Just to reconcile the things I've done I've tried to scream and shout but no one heard All my words were left in the air to burn So take this, it's all I've left This letter of life's regret When the ink runs dry and the candles burn I'll be left in the dark and away I'll turn When you find this place I'll hope you've learned Don't let your words be left in the air to burn So take this, it's all I've left This letter of life's regret I'm falling apart I'm falling to pieces I don't want to die But it's all I can see

There's a war on the world Now it rests on your shoulders Defy the forces of hell With the blood of the Serpent Journey through nightfall The horsemen are closing in The last of the embers still burning Will they know That I hold the power to disappear The ground shook, the faceless ones Coming near Search the horizon For the seer of light On top of the mountain Now gone is the night Summon the wizard Or this journey will end Through Armageddon We will rise up again There's a war on the world Now it rests on your shoulders Defy the forces of hell With eh blood of the Serpent Eyes of fire, they're watching every move I make Evil specter, possessor, the hand of fate Hide from the shadows, through nightfall to sanctuary Lost in the darkness, the moonlight leads the weary Search the horizon For the seer of light On top of the mountain Now gone is the night Summon the wizard Or this journey will end Through Armageddon We will rise up again Travelling on, chasing the ever after See for yourself, this war it will go on forever

The barren wasteland The road I've traveled on It leads to nowhere yet the road it is long With no direction I'll go where no one knows Just a vagrant in search of his home Now I've gone away Into the light of the sun Don't leave me here I'm just a shell of a man Fighting to save his own life Oh faithless servant What of your destiny? Beyond your vision A world never seen Forget your sorrow You've only just begun To feel the power That comes from above Open your heart, it will show you the way You're never alone, now live for today

Reach the void and jump into the black abyss Who knows what waits on the other side Time to gaze into the mirror of your life Travel on into the black horizon Lead me on, into the night I hear you calling A voice in the dark When freedom comes oh lord will it take your life When all your days are wasted as the time goes by Left the ones you love, left them all behind You were her but now you've gone so quickly Lead me on, into the night I hear you calling A voice in the dark Speak the words, of wonderlust and incantations I'm yours to command Will I ever be the same When revelation comes to take the pain away Getting closer to the end Let me see the light again I've seen the future, and it's hanging on a line Balanced on the edge of time Never falter, we were meant to carry on Been from hell and back and yet we're still alive Lead me on, into the night I hear you calling A voice in the dark Speak the words, of wonderlust and incantations I'm yours to command Will I ever be the same When revelation comes to take the pain away Getting closer to the end Let me see the light again

Lost the will to dream It's hard to stay awake Haunted are my visions For me there's no refrain Restless in the nightshade At last a slow decay I write my thoughts beside me Before I drift away To a world Where the sun never shines Is this hell frozen over? Followers, to the temple of stone Fall like lambs at the slaughter Now I'm filled with terror My body petrified Staring at the painting And now it's come to life Not just an illusion Or a trick upon the mind Perdition will await me, the're taking me to die In a world Where the sun never shines Is this hell frozen over? Followers To the temple of stone Fall like lambs at the slaughter What have I become What of all the earthly wonders Will I lose it all To the curse of the spell I'm under Don't close your eyes Don't fall asleep in the moonlight Look for the rainbow's end It'll bring you around again and again

He crossed the mountain fjords Traversed these ancient lands For immortality, a chance to live again There stood the overlord With oaken shield and sword Forged by the God of iron to rule forevermore We flushed them out with fire Brought plague upon the land Ashes burning where the idol used to stand Hold back the hands of time We're failing as we ride To reach the hallows where the four winds will divide If you ride the wind Ride it high So far away, never to return to me Don't be afraid We never die Just sail across the ruins of eternity The eye was always watching Now the specter is me Flying so high above you On the winds of the sea Am I alone now Feeling so insecure I've flown too close to the burning sun Plunge into darkness Reaching the Netherworld We're doomed to roam this world alone If you ride the wind Ride it high So far away, never to return to me Don't be afraid We never die Just sail across the ruins of eternity
