Yesterday found him today

Caught him at his last breath

These walls built to stand come-what-may

Lie shattered in the ashes

His skin against this dirty floor

Eyes fixed on the ceiling

He has stretched those chains of sin

Far beyond all feelings

Still, so still...

In his head a thunderous

Cry of desperation

Tearing voices from his past

Scream for his attention

Behind those eyes a world explodes

No one there to save him

All pain that he's been passing on

Answers to his craving

Once more

I will never leave this shame...

Falling beyond the point of no return

Nothing to become and nothing left to burn

Stealing meaning from this child

We took away his reason

His soul put under lock and key

His heart blackened from treason

But if you take from those you fear

Everything they value

You have bred the perfect beast

Drained enough to kill you

Falling beyond the point of no return

Nothing to become and nothing left to burn

Watching unseen untouched bleeding

Empty exposed dying eyes closed

Once he had forests and mountains

That were only his - listening to him

Once he would run through the summer days

Catching memories for ages to come

Now he is dressing this naked floor

With his flesh and blood, and times passes by

His trade of pain might just have lead him

To deal with consequence

For some change as time passes by

I am the waking child

(Lingering, climbing, clinging, clutching

Craving, clawing, hurting, falling down)

I, the wayward son of a mountain lake

(Of icy liquor tears, of a silent Earth)

(Of a rusty lid, of a wingless wind)

(Of an eyeless storm, of fallen gods,

who lost their way)

I set myself on fire

To breed the Perfect Element

Will I ever walk again?

Falling far beyond the point of no return

Nothing to become and nothing left to burn

(This is the end)

Nothing left to say,

The pain will go away

Now you must surely see,

That you are killing me

You are killing me

Now you are killing me

(You must never leave this shame!)

Now you are killing me

(You must never leave this shame!)

Now you are killing me

(You must never leave this shame!)

Is this more than you want?
