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...
