Eidolon Lyrics

I held my breath as gazed upon these cliffs of stone
Towering over the abyss, the deep unknown, no more time to wait, I was brought here by fate
I can hear them coming, and their screams tell me their hate

Why am I still waiting? Is this my final ending as I mourn for the days long gone?

Life slips away, to my weary dismay
As I draw my last breath, I'll wait here for death

It was me, I told them I could see, the fault of their cruel ambition and now they drove me away

I ran for the sea, maybe they wouldn't catch up with me
I hoped that I had time but here I am about to die
I had told them my truth now they cower behind their lies

Here I stand on this threshold of stone, I fall into the great unknown

Life slips away, to my wary dismay, I'm drawing, my last breath, It's here I welcome death

Time is slowing down, I can see their faces peering over the cliffs edge, but it's odd 'cause I'm calm
I'm calm now, but now I wonder what is next

Is darkness the final chapter in this tale? Is there nothing left to tell? How can the prelude to nothingness ever be the majesty of life, perpetual beauty?

It was me, I told them I could see, but now I'm not so sure, as I throw open the final door, the final door

Life breathes in me, I cannot believe, and how they could not see, is how I know that I'm free
