Fall Of Empyrean - Behind Vacant Eyes lyrics

A decrepit man intently stares At the now calm lifeless horizon While most of his memories no longer exist There is one never fading I was alive with youthful integrity A cold december night Accosted my senses whisper of the wind Shaped my reality Took by surprise decayed pretenses I deciphered the meaning To my advantage delivered false promises Baited the trap Deceptively clever I engaged the victim Gained pure conviction With deceitful lies I taught myself To be abhorrent Took admiration of helpless thoughts Sufferance was comfort Like blankets in winter a cold heart hidden Misfortune always evident always there Each day a new veil hiding the past Compa**ion had vanished Leaving no trace my newfound guile Is my future There is no shame when harm is blind Contemplate the unknown Whose eternal rest would always stir A mind at ease If only he knew his only victim Was in the mirror They say self-reflection is good for the soul And cleanses the blood But if your heart is oblivious To your grasp of life Then the gray shadows down at your feet Fade into black and vanish Desolation unaware As you look at yourself endure the pain See the fear deep in your eyes As you hide behind a blank disguise A decrepit man intently stares at the now Calm lifeless horizon While most of his memories no longer exist There is one never fading You look in disbelief as you see your own life With his tragedy Hopeless destiny in your mind you cannot Fight what you soon will see Your eyes shed the tears of blood You can't ever hide When you see the visions behind vacant eyes
