Light fades away Black shrouds dismay Faith spreads decay False are our days Light fades away The god that scars Born out of bloodgrown dark You call the unknown name Pearl drops of moon’s domain You’ve met him once before and will soon after again Curtains fade Children wept as beasts conveyed Tempests wailed Dressed in black earth, light’s afraid Therein hypnotized By the watchful aeon eye Amidst the storms Like feverish slaves to die Begging, pleading, yearning to be free But the freedom I’ll pledge is a different one to be Curtains fade Children wept as beasts conveyed Tempests wailed Dressed in black earth, light’s afraid Here I stand alone On a soulless road betrayed Seize me, beckoning grave With all my sins portrayed Begging, pleading, yearning to be free But the freedom I’ll pledge is a different one to be A shrine of shadows As somber as your thoughts Crying is forgotten Once lost in eyes distraught Show me any gaze that dont believe in the dark I’d like to see them try and cover up their scars Shadows leaving the softest trace beneath The distance between me and last thing that you see When truly The night becomes your friend One has nothing then To fear but one himself Show me any gaze that dont believe in the dark I’d like to see them try and cover up their scars Once begotten while dreamers mystified Forever dwelling the night Light fades away Black shrouds dismay Faith spreads decay False are our days Light fades away
