The Essence of Sorrow
The fears you hide seems to grow
Shades of your lies make you blind
Your agony is my demise
Evil lurking in disguise

Possessive obsessions
Imprisoning your heart
Closing out your love ones
Your path has led you astray
Tools of the evil inside

Trying to read between the lines
Taking the view from the outside
Your cold existence makes me shiver
Hopeless affliction when will it end

Possessive obsessions
Imprisoning your heart
Closing out your love ones
Your path has led you astray
Tools of the evil inside

The pain you hide behind that smile
Misleading so easily, eternal is the pain
How can I help you out of your misery?

Possessive obsessions
Imprisoning your heart
Closing out your love ones
Your path has led you astray
Tools of the evil inside

Is this where it all has come to?
I'm loosing it, I'm going blind
My senses are gone and I'm falling apart
I don't know where to go
Is this truly the end? I don't know.

The essence of sorrow
Embodiment of suffering
The supreme endless grief
Let me be the one who understands
Come back my precious
Don't let go!
