Revisitation

The man, like a brother, lost on me Was more human than any could see Another heart sold away for a stone An outreached hand still searching for home Losing shared control Cast down far below A truth so opaque Just like his mistakes Now pay attention To his imperfection The vanity casted A shadow on his heart Some are destined to be forgotten Leave all of me behind and fade away Losing shared control Cast down far below A fatal illusion My final ruin The jack of all broken lives and trade Was the hate that caught and dropped your blade The floor falls out below everything Blackness takes me in its dark coiling Time won't wait with nothing left to lend It will come and change out all the ends Always the blight of your own serpent You sought an answer with any purpose Release me From this despair The fallen Never come here Memory Forgot my name A soul now I cannot claim The truth of twilight perpetuates No hammer casts your eternal fate The grand fall, the greater ascension A guiltless man, his karmic prison Lost in this place with no walls to contain All my reprisal seems to be in vain The sky, it mirrors something back to me Turning only to what I want to see Another disciple incantates the prayer of the dead Communion won't atone or rewrite the pages of what's been done What's done They cannot speak here Acts fell on deaf ears No light will shine down, no flame will consume Drawn from the shrine where verity can bloom The sovereign of nothing, the worthless crown Look to the skies, the answer's never found This condition of existence Neither death nor creation How can I be this (Nothing) I cannot be this (Nothing) How can I exist (Escape) Please make me exist (Escape) The jack of all broken lives and trade Was the hate that caught and dropped your blade The grand fall, the greater ascension A guiltless man, his karmic prison With a final way to escape And someone to take his place A new deal written inside his head And something tells me I'm what's kept Leave her here and alter how all things stand Her soul will remain mine to command One last time a life is put on the line A cozen of another kind A deal with an end that is fixed again As shadows start to stare through him I'll show you I want to undo this end And go back to where it began So I can change all this and start everything new again
