The Forgotten Graves Lyrics

All this time, spent in vain
All the searching, nothing gained
Still I wander against all hope
To find a place where I belong
With my past on my heels
The relentless pursuit of ideals
Driven further and far away
Pray for the sins that my thoughts betray

Betray me to rest, there's nothing left
Oh gods, let me die, for here ends my tribe

There is nothing, nothing left
Of my people, my clan, my kin
All their knowledge forever lost
Chained and bound at the foot of the cross
How can I not fall to despair?
Here lies death, I am the heir
Why have the gods forsaken me?
Better to have been blind than allowed to see

Knowledge is a burden you cannot escape
Your awareness shall be your curse
For all of the years you will carry the weight
Of a truth that can never be told
For you the world will not pass you by
You will feel it everyday
The bittersweet loss of all innocence
As your mind and body decay

And so it ends...there is no end

The forgotten graves lie silent and still
An eternal wait that time will never fill
I am left behind, I am tired and alone
A man without destiny, will I ever find a place,
To come home to?

Oh gods, this cannot be
I've come so far to find
Nothing but dust and ruins of long ago
Born into legend and folklore
And children's tales
Oh please my gods, don't let this be the end
Oh please don't leave me
Please don't leave me here.
