The Walk Of Atonement I

The Walk Of Atonement II

The Walk Of Atonement III

The Walk Of Atonement IV

Deposed by the one you feigned to love
Now the rebel takes his leave of your tyranny
Lost in the ashes of your broken reign
A tattered banner waves your name
As if to say
I was never to blame!

You were always to blame

And in the silence of betrayal
Makeshift stitches unravel
As disdain bleeds into the echoes of our past

As I climb out from the rubble
I don't hear you speak
Yet still it lingers
Your haunting melody

Through the wreckage of shattered dreams
Unburdened by what remains
Phantom chains bind
A ghostly embrace
In the absence of love
I find my fate

When the world collapsed
I found myself
Reborn
Reborn into ruin

Still I sift through the ashes
Of an unfinished empire
Beneath this blameless banner
Alone and blood-soaked with disdain
A frail hunger somehow
Still craves your sore refrain

Reborn into ruin
Just let me rot

Ripped from the Void

Reign of Descent

Ripped from the void
Only to return again

This track is the instrumental continuation of "Ripped from the Void"

The Return

A fire burns beneath my skin
Fueled by your conscious deception
Each manipulation carelessly sought
With every deliberate misunderstanding

Reckoned
To serve your ends
To serve your selfish ends
In a shallow attempt to be
Blameless

Drunk on thoughts of self-preservation
Mind clouded with grand delusions
As you ignore the sober truth
That all of your problems have been
Penned in your own hand

A fire burns beneath my skin
Fueled by this transparent deception

Waste my time with words of love
Spit from your split tongue

Wielding kindness as a tool to beguile
Those that you seek to control
A false and friendless smile
That holds hostage everyone you know
Until your true face shows

Waste my time with words of love
Spit from your split tongue
Waste my time with words of love
Spit from your split tongue

The echo of your hollow voice
Decays with each passing day
For too long did it reverberate
Through the caverns of my subconscious
Waking and sleeping
Now no stronger than a whisper
May it soon fade to silence

Waste my time with words of love
Spit from your split tongue
No more will I lose sleep
To these bitter memories of you

Waste my time
These words of love
Spit from your split tongue
From your split tongue

Split Tongue

Endlessly bombarded with corrosive thoughts of self-deprecation
Wishing for an escape
From this downward spiral
There's nothing left for me here
In this unforgiving circuit of pain and fear
Nothing left to feel
Finally seeing through the veil
I tied over my own eyes

Everyone thinks they know me best
They say things could be so much worse
And that I should get used to it
Chemically imbalanced and torn up for you to see
Don't tell me to wipe away my misery
I know what I am
And we are not the same
Shed my mask for you to wear
No longer hide in shame

Break the stigma
I need help

There is nothing left for me here
Nothing left for me to feel
This veil once captivating me now reveals
The dread I felt is real

Slowly decaying
From the inside out

This is my last chance to be heard
To be found
This my last chance to be heard
Break the stigma

Lost beyond the lifted veil
Eyes clear
But the path obscure
Caught still in a circuit of despair

Break me free from myself
Let me mind finally snap my soul
Rip me open
Find me hollow
Set me free
I am hollow

Cosmically suffering
Just let this be the end
Break me free from this
Hollow vessel

Dread

Ripped from the void

Ripped from the void
Into the chaos of existence
With the burden of consciousness bestowed
Upon a body so frail

My spirit longs to return
From calvary to the affectionate arms
Of that infinite darkness

Yet in time's grasp
Moments unfold
Eternity breathes
To reveal the static circle
All suffering souls endure

Ripped from the void
With no promise of contentment
No declaration of freedom from distress
The only certainty is the final return

And in that blackness
Stretching beyond the bounds of reality
I will find peace everlasting
In the folded veil of temporality

Yet in a desert scorched by misery
Seeping slowly into sand
And dried by time's cruel hand
Joy comes like rain
Teaching tree leaves to whisper
Joy comes like rain
As a tempest screams

When eternity
Exists in a single moment
Joy and suffering
Intertwine like mother and child

Ripped from the void
Only to return again

At long last
Comes the gentle release
From time's callous hand

At long last
This body, frail
From the weight of consciousness
And many years, now faint, of moments unfolded
Sheds it's homesick spirit
Bound for the calm embrace
Of that unclouded nothingness

Leave the past behind

With the fear of treading the same path twice
I stand petrified

Yet the void will always call me back

With the fear of treading the same path twice
I stand petrified by the road I left
Yet your light pulls back
The curtain of shadow draped before me

Severed ties with split tongues
So why do I still fear
The taste of that bitter song
Leave the past behind

Burned once by the brightest tongues of fire
Now afraid of the soft glow
Of your smile
Leave the past behind

The call of the void subsides
When you bury me in the safety of your eyes
And your fingers carve a gentle epitaph
Into my skin so calcified
He left the past behind

Old wounds have healed
Your soothing hand extends
These lonely scars to feel
The past is behind

I'm never coming back
Let way lead on to way

No longer petrified
The road unfolds before me
Let way lead on to way
I'm never coming back
I'm never coming back
