Soulfallen

We Are the Sand

"We were the rider and we were the hearse
We were the salvation and we were the curse"

We were the shadows - hidding from the breaking day,
and we were the flames - that once burned entire worlds away

Upon our broken dreams we lay our heads,
and fall into a slumber deep, with dreams as hard as lead
Tired of the tyrants, drained of tears to weep
We hope the Sun will never wake us,
as mankind slowly falls asleep

"We were the wind - caressing the Towers of Silence,
and we were the storm - that once raged upon the welkin"

We were the rain - falling heavy upon the hearts of men,
and we were the clouds - that usurped the warmth of the Sun, again and again

Upon our broken dreams we lay our heads,
and fall into a slumber deep, we dream among the dead
Tired of this broken soil, the dark beneath our feet
We pray the Sun will never wake us,
as life itself falls asleep

We are the sand in the hourglass,
rushing towards our destined end
We are the sand of the ever-growing
desert towards our world descends

We are the sand (...we are the sand)
We are the storm (...we are the storm)
We are the wind (...we are the wind)
of a world outworn

We are the sand (...we are the sand)
We are the storm (...we are the storm)
We are the wind (...we are the wind),
never to be reborn

We are the sand
We are the storm
We are the wind,
of a world outworn

We are the sand
We are the storm
We are the wind,
never to be reborn

Scars Aligned

In a world where life now slumbers,
to a lullaby without a sound
Roads once leading to brighter futures
Now all lead us further down

In a world that tears apart
Even the strongest and the best
What hope can there be...
...for the rest?

We were dreaming in the darkness,
when we fell into the light
Ethereal and corrupting,
it burned anew our sight

Now bound for absolution,
something we will never find
Our hearts the shape of shadows,
burning with scars aligned

"Lay the burden finally down,
and let your fears cave-in
Lay your burden finally down,
and embrace the newfound sin"

Once dreaming in the darkness,
we fell into the light
Violent and unyielding,
it tore away our sight

Yet still we search for something,
something we can never find
Our dreams have long since withered,
along with our scars aligned

At the Heart of Dying

I have lost myself within a curse,
and must become someone else, someone worse

I have lost the track of days for a night has fallen upon me,
a darkness too thick for all light to penetrate
My eyes have grown to wear the dark yet still I cannot see
No strength left in this shell to rise from my ill-fate

It feels like ages since I've last spoken
It feels like aeons since I last slept
But in this silence there is no comfort
Nothing to dry the rivers I have wept

It feels like ages since I've last spoken
It feels like aeons since I last slept
But in this silence there is no comfort
Nothing to dry the rivers I have wept

I barely remember what joy felt like
Hardly recall what it was once to live
Drowning ever deeper into the dark despite for ages
This wretched soul has had nothing more to give

And forgive me for holding you too tight,
that just to breathe you had push yourself away
And forgive me for far too long stealing your eyes,
that without sight you were bound to walk away

For what is given can never be returned,
a heart, a life, a shell now broken, incomplete
Like a world far too long allowed to burn
Nothing left to salvage, nothing left to keep

And forgive me for all my dreams,
that far too long kept you awake
And forgive me for replacing the Sun with you
Leaving you in the dark, too dense for you to take
And forgive me
And forgive me

Now at the heart of dying, from the depths I dwell
I grant thee heaven, and for myself I reserve only Hell

Like all flowers too fair for this world
Draw near the beasts to devour and to rend
Then how could a love far too fair for this cold world
Do nothing more but end

And in my heart the memories of those years,
I would cherish and I would hold
But without one there is nothing left to do,
but to succumb to the bleak and cold

And forgive
And forgive me for all my crimes (...for all my crimes)
And forgive
Unforgive me for all these lines (...for all these lines)
And forgive
And forgive me for all my crimes (...for all my crimes)
And forgive
Unforgive me for all these lines (...for all these lines)

And forgive
