freed from impurity 
washed away 
is the fall of innernight 
the veil once drawn over 
this festering void 
no longer needed 
in order to preserve 
shadows close 
gasping for breath 
there's a new era dawning 
beginning today 
(chorus) 
the sands of yesterday 
beyond repair 
empty of guidence 
past time 
to lay in the grave 
empty of lead 
never again 
reduced to nothing 
empty of aidance 
recollections dressed in black 
the future is taking heed 
phase of revulsion (x4) 
dark are the lights 
burning out 
ceasing to be 
end of the weight 
putting off reality 
turned into ash 
is the sun 
cremating 
strength 
source of belief 
setting in 
rising at length
