Caged in Memories Lyrics

[Pt. I: Desperation]
Reflections, obsessions
Their echoes leave me blinded
The inception of deception
I will release my demons
Affection, the blackened curse upon my blood
With violent sympathy
She summons a name I know so well

Inside my soul a silent mourning
Every hour ceasing forevermore
Their chimes challenge my purpose
What is my path?
An empty space, cipher to experience
Countless wicked dues to repay
A murderer ‘till my last day
It’s time to surrender

While her strings clench from all directions
A seed of doubt colors my core
Shivers too visions to ignore
Damage done
A bloodline betrayal of faith and frail
Her sweet tongue wraps around my neck
A wolfsbane offering to bated lips
My realm forsaken

These days of steel and concrete
Will cull the past into bloom
These days I seek the obsolete
To succumb to time's hollow tomb

[Pt. II: Contrition]
The last rays of stars jar this solemn skyline
Curtains fall crimson, affixed with crimes
Pale twilight unravels my shame
Enlightening the pages of my life

My sworn secrets eclipsed
My house of cards overthrown
My fate to be trussed from future sins
In the aftermath beyond my tomorrow

And when you stretched out for my hand
Deaf ears to deathly ground, a lamb to the slaughter
For what you reaped, for all you have sowed
With no remorse, duty to your own

On the eve of the end
I repent in memories of your descent
Over waters of contrition
Let it be known I am hellion

Frozen inside my wilted world
I see no light
A heart rests assured it's written
Truce finds its way to yesterday

How could you not recognize?
This game of damnation
The shallow legacy we were born into
Could only rip apart our history?

On the eve of the end, I repent
In memories of your descent
Over waters of contrition
Let it be known I am hellion

Frozen inside my wilted world
I feel no light
A soul rests beside me in time
And filters thru the carrion

All dreams held dear
All fatherly fear
All wounds exposed
Victims of your rule imposed

[Pt. III: Acceptance]
And so I must commit
Nothing remains
For I have strived to lead
With justice above life
Eyeing the grace of impure perfection
And the chance to seek complete absolution

I face forever
Grieving no guilt
Never to return
I will shed this heavy
Crown of thorns
And give in to the celestial

Time has come
Take me where
I belong, my angel
