I. From Sorrow Came the Journey

Countless tears...bleeding eyes

I rose from my sleep and stood on the edge

And watched the world swirl around me

Ripe with the cold, the anger, the fear...

Never was I not alone

This haze that lay before me

Snaked all will to be

Broken by time and promises

And fell beneath a crumbling dawn

Again did I see the eyes of those once cared for

Kissed the ice on my lips

Ignored the fleeting beams of hope piercing broken glass

And wandered deep within

II. Lungs of Insanity (The Conversation)

The fire here is sanctified power

We are lost unjustified ones

Defeat calls...projecting shades of life

We raise all the madness of one

I am the indellible spectre

I am the faceless one

Darkened rays on your lost seduction

Take down the melting sun

Why all, why go this empty life?

With soul...the calling some

They're writhing and beating and reeling and sucking

And falling and bleeding and into the wall

Ride on...forgotten son

"You cannot feel my pain"

(Poor fool, its creation has come)

"I'll never see it all again"

(It's just begun)

However seeded in the melting garden

Behold...the mirror turned black

"Where is your sense of indirection"

"Oh...is he lost inside his little mind"

"You're with us forever"

Alone I fled again, to find the end of this unfathomable path

But nothing, nothing I ever found

III. Never Speak Without the Whisper

Now I walk the night alone

And feel their voices mocking back at me

Never to escape the pain

Never to escape the sorrow

Never to escape the madness inside my own mind
