Lament Configuration Lyrics

truth hurts so deep, no one knows this more than I
reality’s acrid bitter sting, the sweet taste of beautiful lies
but there is a time to cut one’s losses and walk away
and throw your life into the ocean, sever the mortal chain
just one last time let the heroes wear black
on this eve of despair, there is no turning back
to tread the path where angels fear
abandon hope, all ye who enter here
and now we lay our souls to rest
as sworn in life, so sworn in death
to the prince of darkness, father of life
the son of morning, angel of light
as I was kneeling at the altar of life
youth and best destiny, all sacrificed
had nothing more, emptied to the hollow core
began to view the final exit as just another door
there are those who would follow even in blindness
extract from the writings of the insane
come with me, burn every bridge between Hell and Redemption
and forge a clear passage through the flames
when did this Hell begin, when will it end?
on bended knee, with poisoned pen?
hear these screams for the Father, scream to the Son
scream to the Heavens, makes no difference to anyone
there is darkness on the horizon and the sky is moving fast
If only I stand still the shadows will soon overcast my soul
one day all hearts will stop their beating, we all are counting down to zero
the final exit from the stage of life, last performance, tragic hero
no light resides deep inside
nor in every tear we cry
when at the end of your life
pray you'll never feel my pain
penance for every tear you've shed
upon the right hand of God, stained blood-red
the life we've led, bled spiritually dead
and I would choose that same bleak path again… and again… and again…
