Grounded by the force
Of a terrorising curse
Dogs at my heels
Lashing waves drawing nearer
Skies ever blacker
And the air is growing thin
I cannot swallow
As shadows move in
Rolling thunder clouds across my heart
With every breath
I am falling apart!

Why are sleeping?
You are not the dream
All illusion, your reality
Be the shifting paradigm
Shrouded by a mask
Slowly suffocating
Darkening thoughts
Paralyse and bewilder
Spiralling deeper in this chasm of despair
Falling into my own shadow's snare
Burning, coming ferally undone
In my undoing
From only mirrors I run

Mistaken identity
You are the maker of your own peace
Ride out the storm
Into the lightless light

Raise me up
Tear this veil of ghosts
Holding me a prisoner
Bring me back
Let this passion rage
Let me know this heart

Ignorance shattered
Every spell of apathy
Broken in unshakeable vigour
Gifts of ruin throw the doors wide open
All fear dissolves like fog in the sun!

You are the keeper
Of the key
The fire you breathe
Will be the dawn of your longest night
Die to the temporal
And you will be timeless

Raise me up
Tear this veil of ghosts
Holding me a prisoner
Bring me back
Let this passion rage
Let me know this heart

Raise me up
Tear this veil of ghosts
Keeping me a prisoner
Bring me back
Let this fire blaze
Let me show this heart.
