i. Fracture The sun has fallen, and a bloody moon rises A death knell emanating from the trees The earth is trembling a howl and a grunt tearing the air the final showdown is ready to begin This thick mist choking every pore of my skin It’s hard to resist I can barely breathe I’m paralyzed, fear and pain are a blend inside my head They’re mowing me down! I can’t fight back! I’m still alive, the next clash will be my end I failed, and now i understand it I can’t avoid thinking... So many years I threw away with the hope of building better days They’re mowing me down! I’m torn apart They’re beating her! My dying breath ii. War Antler and fang primal dance Ego and oaths I can’t run away! I can’t face it! Desperate I am, a broken man Barren will, pride is lost Can a man endure this pain? Can a soul survive this world? iii. Recognition I’m defeated, I’ve lost against myself I’m bowed down, king of errors My body is buried, my mind is drowned A throne for no kingdom, an emperor with no crown The wild clash falls silent Just nothingness remains Faithless, godless, alone and aimless Lost in the silence... Black and Blue fade away White and Red vanish Suddenly appears THE GREY iv. Freedom Is there a life before death? Perhaps there’s one after? A strength resonates within me, raw energy flowing through me It’s not the child, which lies dead at my feet. It’s the call of something deeper A part of me is dying The child is gone, and the man is born The Beasts are banished just myself and the girl The will to embrace her, and a scream All fears vanquished, Answers revealing End a life of deception embody The Grey that is you open your eyes, Victor Find peace on your own and be true to your heart Bear up under the daily STRIFE!! In the sky I can see the bright stars, my feet can feel the dirt beneath I look ahead, at those endless plains... I’m leaving all ties behind I am free! Calm down I will stay with you This Desolate Process is finally over, ‘cause now... I know who I am
