Beginnings and Endings Lyrics

Two opposing wills conflicting inside
Silence validates my concealed cruel side
I am the king of an inner world defiled
Battle rages, the wills abide no peace
Yet both are me, together they coincide
One is light, but the other is dark and wild
Loneliness grows, my only vanity

Symbol of a dark age, silently enduring the night
Golden phoenix flies eternal, time it's only flight
Transcending ephemeral reality, beauty revealed
My confusion turns to light, a transformed emotion field

Of beginnings that follow the endings
Life's paradoxes, perplexing and never-ending

If the world indulges in wickedness and hate
I'll sink deeper into my innermost state
The worst emotions of this world are noble and without equal

Amidst that chaos, a glimmer of hope prevails
A light in the darkness a beacon that never fails
In the solace of one's thoughts, in the midst of night's gloom, the mind's eye strays
To the depths of darkness, where fears and doubts amaze
Like tendrils of smoke, they curl and twist and entwine suffocating

The fire that consumes me, destroying my being
Repelling, yet never fully rejecting me
I seek redemption, stay in the labyrinth of my mind

Trapped in a dreamlike state, where time slips away and all runs dire
The hollow space will not leave me be, the immortal is perishable
The euphoric rapture of complete annihilation
In the midst of chaos, the mind finds tranquility
After transgressing, my conscience gains lucidity

The unease I feel is not due to a scarcity
No guilt's burden to hold me down, no more flames to be burned
Two opposing forces begin to intertwine, my inner world and outer world collide and entwine
The meaningless scenery, a barren expanse I roam
Whispers of desolation echo through my mind In this silent chaos

I strive to find purpose through my being
Amidst the hollow abyss to transcend the emptiness, and find eternal bliss

The vacant landscape mocks, a reflection of my plight
In this realm of emptiness, I yearn for respite
The weight of meaninglessness, a burden hard to bear

A lost soul adrift in the void, devoid of all meaning
Fragments of hope shattered, no redemption in sight

The abyss swallows me whole, eternal darkness ignites
May darkness be my solace, in its embrace I dwell
