Talk of recreation

Opening the chamber door

Entertain the veil

Of impossibility

And bitter consequence

Beneath this pallid face of yore

Shattered fragments take their hold

And I fade away

Drained of strength I take my leave

The essence still remains

Haunted by what might have been

Sacrifice in vain

With this departure, I bid farewell

Pretend that this is all a dream

Wide awake, I can't avert my gaze

When reason fails, fleeting innocence

Draws it's final breath

Drained of strength I take my leave

The essence still remains

Haunted by what might have been

Sacrifice in vain

With this departure, I bid farewell

Forsaken with the darkness

Calling out salvation

Losing the will to fight temptation

This moment must move on

But the pain goes on and on

Someday I will break these chains...

Drained of strength I take my leave

The essence still remains

Haunted by what might have been

Sacrifice in vain

With this departure, I bid farewell
