Stripped of the swathes of humanity Moving further on from what used to be In this living shadow what is left of me? Echoes of my voice lost aeons ago Can I have a taste on my absent tongue? Can I force the air into my empty lungs? Around my neck, a piece of rope is hung As good as dead, but life won't let me go Release me I want out of this Nightmare Ignorance is bliss Bane - What is yet to be is what I forgot Stain - A stain of life I am, either dead or not Strain - Strain is all I feel for the remains of me Pain - Nails into my hands, I wish I could bleed The new day brings the same void A chasming clot where blood once boiled Fading whispers from the past All around me dying fast Cold enwraps my desmesne For all fire is gone Gone with lasts of my hope In these chambers of bone In these halls of the blind I'll forever be gone With my feverish mind Pain, I want to feel it again For it's better than still But it's all that remained After the door was sealed
