When the flames fade only dark will remain Somber cascade of decay Abysmal blackness, Cimmerian shade Of seemingly perpetual despondency Forever black We must learn to burn in solace There is beauty in the pain we bear Vomit the darkest part of your soul and let that darkness take you whole Hold it, and never let it go and you'll be stronger than you know We don't need sight For eyes are blind I know your eyes will see tomorrow if you embrace the black Embrace your burdens Feign eyes paint illusions false but also in truth Nightmarish visions plagues the mind, withering are the youth I found in the darkness a lonely place I took from my heart to the physical plain And may the day be friendly to you You cannot image what darkness can do Here lies your fate; it's not too late Pain Separating the illusion of what we define as hell And there is only hell here to see Through all of the glory we find in the hurt We see through misery Memorized by glowing eyes Reflecting in the eerie night Motionless I stand before thee Filling your heart with fear And as the skies were filled with fire I let the dark take hold And what I found is the weight had been lifted As I let my darkness go For what is life without balance? And what is dark without life? Though I may love being one with darkness We could all use a little light This is illumination Incineration of the contamination The Silhouette of what used to be As the pressures building all the victims to the vicious binds are nothing The silhouette of what used to be Cease the bleeding
