Quo Vadis - Fate's Descent lyrics

My body rests in a dark chamber As I am receiving final farewells A saddened silence fills the air The smell of flowers, the smell of d**h The latch is opened, my skin reflects the light A short prayer is recited in my honour Some take a step forward, their stares descend Looks of deception, looks of despair Some are faceless, some are caught in the moment Communication at light speed occurs faster than words can be expressed One-way telepathy provides the living souls a sense of presence when left alone A mental sketch is tattooed on their minds time to say their "adieux" arrives My vessel sealed, a cold breeze strikes the world beyond I am imprisioned from the world of light Some induce tears, hostage to emotion Looking from above, I can feel their pain ... I will guide Purity resists, faith will overcome ... I survive They forgive my sins, I can feel the peace ... Of my life Looking through their souls Timeless sense of loss, overtaking thee ... I will guide With a mere remorse, they will call to me ... I survive Tell the secrets of an unforgotten past ... Of my life Looking through my soul... Voiceless.. but present... Some can feel it, some ignore the forces As I descend into the depths of goodbyes The raining earth is bestowed upon my being As I watch over and comfort thee A last prayer in unison begins Forever lasting, words do not die Priceless balance "You feel I have abandoned you, but it is you who left me behind"
