"Let me die", I cried as the curtain fell
 and I stared in woe at the world before me
 My weeping eyes could not bear to tell
 or the shattered kingdom in ruins before me

What became of the lands that were?
 A pearl in the nest of memories
 Forever gone...departed by the minds of man

Scavengers, feeding on your mother's blood
 Parasites of life, with my heart I condemn
 your ignorant ways

Like the leaves of the high trees
 I wither and fall,
 Borne by autumnal winds
 to my funeral hall

I'm all alone in the grip of the silent sadness

I have been told to honour life
 and what therein I'll find
 but if all I see is darkness,
 let me die and wake up blind
 As the gleaming blade before me,
 singing lullabies of loss
 Whispering "Death is your redeemer
 to the Paradise you've lost"

Mankind, evoker of inferno
 Let me burn your honoured Crown of Creation
 and dethrone you to ashes for aeons to come

Why should I stay here where I do not belong?
 Of weakness burns my within...And empty shell

I've lost the way to the sanctity I need

I'll greet the dawn that brings no life,
 no frail beams of sun to cleanse the black night
 My mournful roam has ended

I hide in the shadows white binding my time,
 sheltered from this world which disorderly rhyme
 with the fury of damnation

Once I held in my hand the starlight of Eden
 and the white sky lay open in a soul that was free
 (But the years flew so fast as the shadows were cast
 and I woke up one morning with no reason to be)

I'm all alone in the shade of the nameless
 Sorrow
 I'm all alone within a shadowfire of fear

take me home to whence I came
 Where I'll find light to feed my flame of life

Or my heart will die without a whisper of hope
