Captive inside these walls
I pray for freedom every waking hour
No light can shine through
But a dimming candle from afar
I have long lost track of time
Kept alive to hear the torture of innocent beings
Soon it would be my turn as the next sacrifice
Day and night no longer matters
When time ceases to move forward
I know I am dead to the outside
Feel the cold of the ground made of stones
In a dungeon that chills to the bone
Nowhere to escape this temple of evil
Maggots crawl and swarm on a chair
Smell the stench of death in the air
Nowhere to escape this temple of evil
Let me see the ones who have died by your hands
The ancient god from a cosmic dimension
He who sees it all through the light of the pyre
Enslaves humankind through madness of mind
Bind me up as I look upon your throne
While the blood flows from me and falls onto the stone
Gazing up into the eye of the cosmos
I see all the secrets that should never be known
Living a wasted life
With every second passing by I'm dying
Cry till the tears go dry
There is no trying
Their footsteps have come so near
Feel a shiver down my spine
The chains tying down my fear
Intertwine

I wonder if the sun would ever rise again on this land
The terror that you instilled would never be fully healed
Facing the truth is cruel so we look away
Following the lies you told have led us all astray
The place that we called home is no longer our haven
You've learned to love the joy of slaughter and destruction
Slaughter and destruction
You have become the one we've always feared the most
Like parasites infesting until there's no more host
Apathetic mind drifting in a sea of consciousness
Without a care for anyone
Everything else you dismiss
Apathetic mind drifting in a sea of emptiness
Without a care for anyone
Everything else you resist
You will never find peace within yourself
Deceiving one another is your only passion
Devouring all things under the sky so ashen
Facing the truth is cruel so we look away
Following the lies you told have led us all astray
When the last candle goes out, I'll be there
When the lights in your eyes dim, I'll be there

For The Forgotten

Looking down at your sleeping face
Resting in a bed of white roses
Without anyone to witness your grace
Will you be gone without any traces
Wandered the street night all alone
Tried to survive on your own
You who lived in the shadow
Even in death no one knows
You wished for immortality without knowing what it means
Becoming one with the unknown, never to be seen
Coldest rain falls on your face
Empty eyes stare into space
Flowers bloom upon your grave
Nothing left for you to save
There is a darkness that pulls us apart
There is a hatred corroding our heart
There is a thunder that echoes afar
There is no heaven among all the stars
Fading into the twilight
Never to be remembered

For as long as I've had these memories
Chained by your cold hands
Never to see the sun
I will let you live under my shelter
Before we come together
Before you find the answer
There is nothing left outside of this castle
For there is only shadow
For there is no tomorrow
Keep you in my reach
Insects underneath
Crimson eyes watching through the veil
Wings are broken, her arms so frail
Snow white hair curls around my fingertips
A drop of blood falls from my lips
Onto my skin
Crimson eyes watching through the veil
(Staring straight into the void unknown)
Wings are broken, her arms so frail
(Words are spoken but no sound is heard)
Everyday and every night, your visage is the same
A vacant look inside your eyes
A peace inside the darkness, your stillness fills the air
Devoid of sin behind the cage
Dead wings
Falling
Two hands
Dyed red
When the dark comes for me
When will I see the truth?
Like a moth under flame
Burning under the sun
