Under these benighted fading skies
On this day my soul has died
On these broken tattered wings
Deliver me from this lurid dream
I know that inside there's a fear that's exposing
The fear thought relinquished that's silently voiding
It's the cross you bear that will keep you from knowing
The lid on your coffin, so constantly closing
Masochist, you lie in a bed of razors
Entwined in thorns to pose as martyr
Fallen from grace and hollow inside
On this descent, I call out your name
and here you've left me
Bitter reign please wash away
The epitaph carved upon the sepulchers face
Nostalgia's claims all made in vain
I'm casting stones at the past to shatter the pane
Scattered shards like fallen stars
Cast from the heavens to heal your scars
You were promised life and paradise
Beneath cathartic skies
You just want to feel whole
A feeling that was lost so long ago
These visions haunt you, just let them go
And maybe this time you can breathe
Angel of Deliverance, I pray to thee, so naive
I pray that on this day you will take me away
Bitter reign please wash away
The epitaph carved upon the sepulchers face
Nostalgia's claims all made in vain
I'm casting stones at the past to shatter the pane
Scattered shards like fallen stars
Cast from the heavens to heal your scars
You were promised life and paradise
Beneath cathartic skies
