Shackled by Despair Lyrics

The wild summer wind
Drifts through time
Bringing forth
The formal unwind

In the breath of air
Strewn from the veins
Of the lungs of earth
We carry our shame

Uprooted trees
Of the ancient past
Whisper things
That should've passed

A faithless servant
Of the fields of green
Tempt me closer
To the endless clearing

Disappearing from view
I can see your eyes
My body shakes
As I meet my demise

Shackled by desire
To disappear
Speaking in tongues
Whispering in my ear

The eyes of eve
That close the books
Return me to my maker
And drench me in soot

The pain isn't real
For my eyes to see
The writhing thoughts
Never meant to be

My body is frail
Leaves rotting
Beneath me

The golden glow
Of her wild hair
Tempt me further
And fall into your snare
