lyrics

Darkness returns
Our hands never touch
You back away, ignoring my reach
Deliverance to see
Your mind parting with me

This gravity, the glass reflects black, I turn to
The tyrant of night, consume the seas
Sworn enemy, distant I watch light's defeat
Pouring void, this canvas of gray, a fight astray
Horizons consumed by bleak nothingness
I look into the abyss

The flight of windless scars
Above the trees, disperse a faded star
Close the book, of my mystery
The night realm calls, it tethers me free

Evaporating fountains, the mere forgotten plane
The silence abhorrent, it's deafening
Tendrils of shadow, pulling my soul asleep
Relinquish me

Cowl of the unseen night speaks
To hell, charred one awaits me
Purgatory, the choice has been made
Damnation, to the fiery grave

The curtains of bleak moonless silk
The lines of my hand loathing lies, the patterns I seek
Wings of mine demise, fall through the earth, I sink

This gravity, the glass reflects black, I turn to
The tyrant of night, consume the seas
Sworn enemy, distant I watch light's defeat
Pouring void, this canvas of gray, a fight astray
Horizons consumed by bleak nothingness
I look into the abyss

The flight of windless scars,
Above the trees, disperse a faded star
Close the book, of my mystery
The night realm calls, I hold the key

Spectre drones circling me, the beyond sends its horrid faceless beasts
Streaking black stains the auroras I gaze, a blaze of darkened pasts
The murmurs of the lonely depraved, at the behest of death's doom
The bell tolls now, the council of night, a sentence of exiled tombs

The valley shrinks, mountains cave in
Narrow the breach, the passage of redemption
The quiet collapse, quaking the rot of the earth
All for the taking, my life has lost its worth
Legions of grim idols and griefs, the walls endless now, hallow the soul of defeat
The essence drains me, spiral of disbelief

Passed the horn stands the wood
Passed this fold, the light withstood
Illuminated patch of grass
I fall exhausted, darkness halts its wrath

Lone spire of my memory
Desire of grief

Against this fallen tree
I sit, weep the prayer
Around, the black night holds
Forever, a place gone
