The Prophecy Into the Light 1. Into The Light You are forever losing the fight You are lost in damnation, a murderous cry Till the silence comes Takes you down, into the ground Where you lay... Rotting forever You're a lie, you stand alone Your silence will not atone For sins ingrained now so deep in your soul Relief denied you, till the silence unfolds... Within your soul, a sight to behold In dead Earth... Linger forever In silence profound A deep abyss that swallows you now A final release, tranquility found Your time at hand! All these empty words whispered thoughts inside your head Telling you to leave this place there's nothing to be said Take a long look around there's nothing for you here So say your last goodbyes as into the flame you fly Stare into the light just one more time As into the flame you fly It takes me higher and higher as into the flame you fly Burning so bright, this incandescent light, vanishing out of sight I can see the path before me but I don't want to die Wait for me now Wait for me Step out from all this confusion there's clarity ahead With certain understanding you take one final breath Onwards you will go a certain test of faith Stare into the light A wash with cold hearted confusion A look of fear in your eyes Is it possible you're in delusion? A bitter pill to end your life Condemned to exist in this exile Now you are lost among the damned Can you exist in this fury? When there is no end to your pain And here you'll remain 2. Delusion There's a feeling deep within your soul Whispered thoughts that you don't want to hear anymore... You'll face the truth, your mind is broken The walls alive with your worst nightmares You'll beg! You'll crawl! but no-one comes to save you Distraught! Distressed! You will beg for mercy now... There's a feeling you're losing your mind tonight Arise a god! The king of your delusions A sign! Portent! As the truth is wrapped around you Embrace this world now filled with your insanity A scream cries out till all is left asunder now... Please can you help me? I'm drowning in this fear! Please can you guide me through all my despair? Rise from the madness wipe the tears from your face Free from the voices till they rise up again You know! You know how it feels Left here to atone For a lonely disease Trapped in this place! This prison cell of damnation! Let me out! Get me out of here! Get me out! I'm not insane! 3. Don't Forget Listen child as you lay alone at night, you're afraid to go to sleep But listen child there no possible escape from this, you slip into the dream What you see when you dream Takes your mind to the limit of lucidity Trapped inside a fragile mind With no way out a disjunction of reality Listen child there's no one here for you, no saviour to redeem But listen child forget your irrational fears, your crippled anxiety When you scream in the night Your flesh will crawl to my delight You recoil but at least you're still alive Now witness these visions of mine This confusion reigns inside your mind Fell emptiness coming closer tearing a piece of your soul away On the edge, your breaking, shattered pieces will remain Blind to all reason, you will decline to speak the truth within the lie There's not much time to decide Will you wait till he comes, to tear your soul away! Welcome to my world of violence Abusive cruelty will make perfect sense Welcome to this fate worse than death Your mind raped of innocence Bow down, child born of loss Blamed for all that came to pass In my grasp you will stay As I rip your mind away Listen, and now don't forget that day 4. Echoes You're on your own now, just a step away The memories blur then begin to fade These days reveal to me what can't be undone For we all knew this day your time was done The sound of your voice calling these echoes in my head I'm choking back the tears now but there's nothing that I could have said Staring at the blank walls with a smile Just another symptom of your failing mind Are you in some far away place that only you can see? Trapped in some inner recess of your own reality For, these are the days of our lives These are the days, passing by This cold angry water flowing out to the sea The ever expanding ocean takes you far from me You see the light shining from the other side There's no more time for you, so cross the divide Can you see your moments passing day by day? Will you leave me with this cold empty feeling? Will it always remain? This cold angry water flowing out to the sea This overwhelming emotion takes a piece of me All hope is lost now you're fading away All hope is lost now your final day is here These wasted years The echoes I hear 5. Belief Means Nothing Revenge suffer, beyond the withering moon And in the pale light blinding it conceals the hand of your Doom Now you're shrouded in darkness but you refute the truth That your belief means nothing and only now it dawns on you Struggle futile in the grip of this deathly hand You fall into damnation your hourglass is out of sand They speak of words without meaning Whispering thoughts inside your mind I'll take you Down under Down with me Into eternal suffering I'll take your soul Forevermore that's right You speak of words without feeling They try to infiltrate your mind Now that you are calling, drowning in a sea of pain Now that you are falling and you are overcome Into a dream like state In turmoil is your mind Torn between belief and lie You're running out of time Into the light This can't be happening to me That you shall live When you should surely die 6. All Is Lost It is time for light to disappear No emancipation, this darkness drawing near Ascension lost now, a relentless fight Uncontrolled aggression, to end all life All I am, all I feed, turns in me My final thoughts, my beliefs, lost to me No god to save us now, it's too late Havoc reeked and turmoil wrought, no escaping fate No satisfaction in what is to come The essential nature, the fatal sun No hesitation to take all life No apprehension to quell the spite Can we avoid this devastation, bitter hope our last salvation Total loss, annihilation Witness our evisceration, further in our degradation Total loss, annihilation All is lost, all we trust, taken away Nothing but dust now remains All is now lost 7. Waters Deep In this world we face alone, beyond the threshold of imagined fears (to you they're real) As we see the darkness fall, crushing our reality And now the fear of fate presides, its terror burning deep inside (though we're still alive) So we face the coming storm, and its gathering intensity Cold unforgiving eyes, a gallery for misery Watch your demise, this imminent debility And now that the tempest closes in there nothing to do but to close your eyes (close them tight) Can you withstand the coming force; it takes your strength and erodes your lives Contemplate our faith, no logic in this morality No bearing on the truth, a testament to brutality I feel there's no time for us I feel there's no place for us No place for us in this cruel world I feel there's no chance for us No faith in us In this cruellest of worlds we are lost! I feel there's nothing left for us I feel there's no other way for us No way for us In this wayward tide, we are lost! We are lost now, beyond the sea The current carries us, to waters deep There we will drown, it takes us down Where we'll stay, nothing will save us now Face down, there's just one way out Senseless and bound, reality fading... In the water deep, icy cold sleep The current drags the body down Lifeless eyes will see, fading reality Now as you drown! Stand and face me, the worst enemy The torture of my soul Take a part of me, all that's dear to me Now we'll burn Face down, fading out, this life holds, nothing for me Dragged down, water deep, it all ends now you will see 8. Hope In this moment I've fallen out of place Disarray A certain point of view that led me to dismay I walk the hard road that leads me from my bane Shame Deliverance I seek, but it's a path I cannot see Stare into the light its blinding in my eyes Stare into the light this empty life remains And though you see me still, I'm broken and frail Hollow As I face the truth alone, come to terms and atone Stare into the light it's blinding in my eyes Stare into the light, i cannot look away And now I wonder where all my life has passed away It's far from my reach and after all this pain fades away This memory still remains And now I wonder are you here in this place And I can but wonder if this emptiness will remain I can but wonder what I did to take you away I can but wonder was it me that was to blame Stare into the light it finally begins to fade Hoping to find some solace now, regardless of my fate And as the days go by you leave without a trace But when I try to sleep, I'm haunted by your face...
