Love I’ve lost and love I’ve known

Love I’ve soured and hearts turned stone

Paths traversed by all or one

All roads traveled now alone

Another ring will line my eye

Another silent soul will cry

Every day a new goodbye

'Til the last sea has run dry

No burdens

Nothing can shake me

Cursed heavens

And so below

Gates open

Another side

Risen to die

Watching, waiting for a sign

I’ve waited long enough this time

What is sacred or divine

Only mountains left to climb

If the moon saw fit to shine

And the stars chose to align

If a shiver caught my spine

Then I’d know this eve was mine

No burdens

Nothing can shake me

Cursed heavens

And so below

Gates open

Another side

Risen to die

No longer bound by malice

Or silver tongue-ed liars

Cold blooded creatures stocked me

I led them through the fires

Unburned by flames of red

My lips twist to a grin

Evil sought to pervert me

Blind to the evil within

No burdens

Nothing can shake me

Cursed heavens

And so below

Gates open

Another side

Risen to die
