Ozymandias
Listen, the sound of emptiness, echoing all around
Filing up this place
The voices of the past, circling about, the garden gates
Yet no familiar sound
Ancient town that once stood tall now filled with broken dreams
And darkened shadows now embrace
Empty space, no human trace, but still it feels not all is as it seems
In this forgotten place
Lying buried in the ground, a visage of a bust
Feel its dead eyes staring at your back
Turned to dust, rubble and rust, torn away, ending as it must
Fading into black
Close your eyes and visualize
Beneath the sands and endless skies
Listen close, recall the melody
The eulogy of the mortal body
Gaze upon my works and despair
Only decay is what remains

Final Stride
These dunes keep winding on
The past is gone
Nothing remains
It glows so bright out there
I can feel its glare
My certain end
I want to be free
Sick of these lands
It’s all up to me
It’s all in my hands
Nobody can say
What lies beyond the veil
Yet it is my grail
Everything will change
No good can come of this
No glory, no bliss
But I go anyway
I want to be free
Sick of these lands
It’s all up to me
It’s all in my hands
Just one more step and the journey’s done
Just one more man under the sun
This final stride, the time, the hour has come
To depart
I want to be free
Sick of these lands
It’s all up to me
It’s all in my hands
Just one more step and the journey’s done
Just one more man under the sun
This final stride, the time, the hour has come
To depart
Just one more step
And the journey is done!
Just one more man
Oh yeah!
This final stride
Step inside

New Dawn
The sun is rising in the west
Another setting in the east
Yet I still feel, my heartbeat in my chest
Was any of this meant to be?
I didn’t know my way
My goal was never clear
The earth below me, floating far away
What is my purpose here?
Lost, as I’ve never been
Every step brings another unknown
I don’t know what I see, I don’t know what I’ve seen
My fate no longer set in stone
Lost, as I’ve never been
Every step brings another unknown
I don’t know what I see, I don’t know what I’ve seen
My fate no longer set in stone

Longing
A well on the precipice
A voice calls from the depths
I must leap the endless fall
I must shed the guilt that connects
A summit under the sunless skies
Naked and alone
Hordes of the faceless ones
Await an impossible dawn
This self-imposed oblivion
Oh, it’s pressing on
Beyond this one lies another hill
The answers that I seek are further still
A sunken dream
A universe submerged
Crushed in on itself
Completely purged
A world of decay
In entropy mired
All truths, all lies
As all of the suns will eventually die
This self-imposed oblivion
Oh, it’s pressing on
Beyond this one, it’s another hill
The answers that I seek are further still

The Missing Chapter
At first sight, there were embers alone
By their light I walk, by their light, I’ve flown
Where worlds collide, I see the root of it all
The future once foretold, my scourge, my fruit, my fall
Endless sands
I once used to roam
They stretch far and wide
In my hands
I got the tome
With nothing inside
You cannot know, you cannot see
‘Cause it lies hidden beneath
The city of gold
A timeless age
All wisdom of an empty page
Wasted time, my struggles were in wain
Looking at the mirror, reveals I’ve gone insane
All I gave, all was paid in kind
Now crawling through the darkness, the embers lost their shine
Endless sands
I once used to roam
They stretch far and wide
In my hands
I got the tome
With nothing inside
You cannot know, you cannot see
Cause it lies hidden beneath
The city of gold
A timeless age
All wisdom of an empty page

The Cost
Brave is the man who would face the abyss
Formless shadows are all he will strike
There will always be something amiss
For a hero and a fool are often alike
In order to see, you must know how to be blind
All you ever do is stumble in the dark
You never know what you are leaving behind
No matter your choice, the void leaves its mark
It follows still
As all plagues will
You stand here now
The edge of all you know
Swallow your pride
You reap what you sow
It follows still
As all plagues will
You stand here now
The edge of all you know
Swallow your pride
You reap what you sow

Winter’s Ashes
Tracks in the sand
Become tracks in the snow
Don’t know where they’ve been
But I know where they go
I take it all in
With new ashen eyes
Peeling back the familiar disguise
Nothing was mine, really my own
After I’ve seen, what I was shown
Ash in the show, yet something will grow
Out of the earth below
Leave it all at the door
Everything you came for
It changed at its core
I can’t take any more
The winter is now
Of our bloody fate
A promise of springs
Bound to come late
Nothing was mine, really my own
After I’ve seen, what I was shown
Ash in the show, yet something will grow
Out of the earth below
Leave it all at the door
Everything you came for
It changed at its core
Can’t take any more
No more, no more, no more!
