Yesterday found him today 

Caught him at his last breath 

These walls built to stand come-what-may 

Lie shattered in the ashes 

His skin against this dirty floor 

Eyes fixed on the ceiling 

He has stretched those chains of sin 

Far beyond all feelings 

Still, so still... 



In his head a thunderous 

Cry of desperation 

Tearing voices from his past 

Scream for his attention 

Behind those eyes a world explodes 

No one there to save him 

All pain that he's been passing on 

Answers to his craving 

Once more 



I will never leave this shame... 



Falling beyond the point of no return 

Nothing to become and nothing left to burn 



Stealing meaning from this child 

We took away his reason 

His soul put under lock and key 

His heart blackened from treason 

But if you take from those you fear 

Everything they value 

You have bred the perfect beast 

Drained enough to kill you 



Falling beyond the point of no return 

Nothing to become and nothing left to burn 



Watching unseen untouched bleeding 

Empty exposed dying eyes closed 



Once he had forests and mountains 

That were only his - listening to him 

Once he would run through the summer days 

Catching memories for ages to come 

Now he is dressing this naked floor 

With his flesh and blood, and times passes by 

His trade of pain might just have lead him 

To deal with consequence 

For some change as time passes by 



I am the waking child 

(Lingering, climbing, clinging, clutching

Craving, clawing, hurting, falling down) 

I, the wayward son of a mountain lake 

(Of icy liquor tears, of a silent Earth) 

(Of a rusty lid, of a wingless wind) 

(Of an eyeless storm, of fallen gods,

who lost their way) 

I set myself on fire 

To breed the Perfect Element 



Will I ever walk again? 



Falling far beyond the point of no return 

Nothing to become and nothing left to burn 



(This is the end)



Nothing left to say, 

The pain will go away 

Now you must surely see, 

That you are killing me 

You are killing me 

Now you are killing me 

(You must never leave this shame!) 

Now you are killing me 

(You must never leave this shame!) 

Now you are killing me 

(You must never leave this shame!)



Is this more than you want?
