I've felt this presence for a lifetime
And if you keep your silence I promise to close my eyes
These days can't be undone but one day
You'll understand why I turned away
All I ever wanted to become more than a vision of I
Yet in these moments I'll be defined
Language constructs of my decline
And still I feel nothing
I've gone where d**h cannot follow
And within these words be born again
Will I see our temple left in ruins
In the absence of love?
Though my intentions still remain
I've severed my ties
And I will pull you out from shelter
To stand within the fire
And in pa**ing you'll realize the point, the cause
At which my rage can know no bounds
I've felt this presence for a lifetime
If you keep your silence I promise to close my eyes
These days can't be undone, but one day
You'll understand why I turned away
And I have not lost my way
Return in the shadows of our last day
I have not lost my way
Return in the shadows of our last day
I have looked upon the distance
And rely beyond my vision
I have given more than I can stand and I still remain
Until the bitter end when I stand before you
Now it is this in which I endure to see her face
In this life or the next, whenever I find my place
It's in the veins of my design
And still I feel nothing
I've gone where d**h cannot follow
And within these words be born again
And I have not lost my way
Return in the shadows of our last day
I have not lost my way
Return in the shadows of our last day
I feel my focus, stray off this distance of me
Is it still my face hidden behind the mask where I?
