Elephant - The Defining Choice lyrics

Reaching for the light of doomed shades Betrayed the wind of sacred sacrifice Leaves are silent as the song of memories Blissful mist in the weary moments Lambent decay of newborn demise Judgment of the graceful warning Here shall all await the heavenly Precious arrival outshines sunrise Lucid thread of jealousy In nothing all shall stand Here begotten unknowing Sightless hope carries the future Points of starlight Appear to die Borne the blessing Of the healer unveiled Downward runs the waiting disaster Shameful d**h of beauty Shining spell from the hands of the heir Paths manipulated before birth Bountiful choices of misery and wisdom Choose the answer that conquers the fairest Planets divided the sun unbroken Below time bodies gone Perish in obscurity, the vision is true Tired and scared yet resolute Clear are the foes, the dream is near I found my voice through the storm Feel the defiance of the mustering drums Slouching toward the mouth of anguish We cannot get out, there is no way out Clash together the jaws, we shall witness again Home lies ahead not what was left behind But mountains were sadness Chasing gods lost in release Born today is the turning Run the distance in vain Cheerful trial of damnation Mirthless dance of failure So you've chosen my fate? I don't care! When I laugh I can still hear the thunder And I smile
