Sinking in a sea of emptiness, alone A solitude, an isolation, to living men unknown Shadows of memories dance across my mind Just beyond reach with the pa**ing of time Searching with blinded eyes For a truth that once was Feeling so alive My mortality I deny Shadows of memories Dance across my mind Now totally lost to the ghost of remembrance No tears can I cry to quench the thirst of suffering Looking on life as the altar with a saddened familiarity Only now in madness can I see the simplicity Silence of loneliness roars in my ears My own heartbeat rhythm I've grown to fear Seven times eternity I'm sentenced this living d**h Grief and agony multiply with each and every breath Blackness of space, vast space of time To richness of life, my heart now blind Memories of the past now torture my mind Suffering for eternity no rest in dying On stone ears fall my cries Shadows of memories dance across my mind Now barely able to bring me to another time A time taken as something owed Looking back I wish I'd chosen a different road Now totally lost to the ghost of remembrance No tears can I cry to quench the thirst of suffering Each pain filled moment alone another black Cross to bear Silence the loneliness roars in my ears On stone ears fall my cries
