The reality of all I imagined

Was all of a sudden so obvious and so damn vigorous

The chains that kept me at bay all those years

They were lifted and ultimately destroyed

I'd been saved by the one

For better or worse, through sickness and health

Burden of her devotion

There 'til the end, death do us part

Devoured by her emotions

Trapped in a running wheel

We ran towards something we would never reach

Still bound by our promises

Old chains were simply replaced by new

Our desire to ascend just left us all the more confined

For better or worse, through sickness and health

Burden of her devotion

There 'til the end, death do us part

Devoured by her emotions

You will need to let go though darkness descends

All around

I must travel alone from here

In the name of our pledge

With the force of past

Grasping my last breath

In the name of our pledge

All I ever was has nailed me to this cross

(Silence... Laughter... Breathing... Fading...)

Silence is screaming my name

In laughter it hides

Breathing life in our bond

Fading again...

In the darkness of tonight

Dancing shadows on the wall

Hiding from the light, into the night

Darkness to light

In the coldness of the dawn

Breathing faintly once again

Nurtured by the light, into the fight

Into the blight

Can't you see I'm weary, fighting for my life?

You're so much more

Thinking you should know by now

Why won't you see?

Your essence is tearing apart

Content of your own heart

You will need to let go though darkness descends

All around

I must travel alone

In the name of our pledge

With the force of past

Grasping my last breath

In the name of our pledge

All we ever were will die

In the name of our pledge

With the force of past

Grasping my last breath

In the name of our pledge

All I ever was has nailed me to this cross
