The Cimmerian

Bound by the temples

Barred from the organic, trapped in a mechanical maze

A body assembled

By the catatonic, whispers 'til I'm finally awake

Soul of the departed, fabled god of treacherous ways

Guides the heavy-hearted, now one with the shadows

Shrouded in darkness I remain

A memory cast away

Death is my only saving grace

Deliver me

Now as the darkness dances with light

A vessel soars through the afterlife

I feel it clawing from under my skin

It tears through the surface and breathes like the wind

Forever defeated, shackled, torn

Decimated by internal war

Engulfed in the devil's blackened scorn

Prisoner of the forlorn

No sign of creation

Their desperate prayers breed only despair

A cry for salvation

Struck dead in the air, my spirit ensnared

A prophecy that was once heaven-sent

Held at the mercy of shadow's intent

My only hope for escape still intact

Falls through the infinite black

Shrouded in darkness I remain

A memory cast away

Death is my only saving grace

Deliver me from this fate

I feel your embrace

And all my dismay

Colliding in an ocean of decay

Plight of the heartless, call my name

Forgive me for my mistakes

Within the ocean of my decay

Heaven, forgive me for my mistakes

And if the waves could wash away

All of the hatred in my cells

Then maybe I could navigate the road back to myself

And I will find a way back to myself

I will remember all that was ever lost

All that was ever lost

All that was ever lost

All that was ever

All that was ever

Shrouded in darkness I remain

A memory cast away

Death is my only saving grace

Deliver me from this fate

I feel your embrace

And all my dismay

Colliding in an ocean of decay

Plight of the heartless, call my name

Forgive me for my mistakes

And if the waves could wash away

All of the hatred in my cells

Then maybe I could navigate the road back to myself

All that was ever lost

All that was ever lost

All that was ever lost

All that was ever lost

All that was ever
