Lyrics Crescent Shield

Crescent Shield

Temple Of The Empty

Whisper, do not allow the loud

Keep all angst unseen

Silent the thoughts that do one sway

Make yourself to... Believe

Up and away it's a brand new day

Again we hear, again we've spoken

Only the words they wish we speak

Not true thoughts of our heart

Again and again we row perfect stroke

To the beat of the drum of the pacing master

Promises laced with lies

We see the truth that we choose not to see

Wretched frowns painted upside-down

With artistic hands perfect liars

Drowned by the pain of useless gain

Feel the ache in your heart

Gather round we will make you proud

With false icons of grand achievement

Body soft and a brain that burns

I'll be here tomorrow yet still I'm gone today

Slowly closing my eyes

(I'll blind the things I need to see)

Feel no more

(I will not be)

Hear my cries

(Cry to the ears that do not hear)

Empty is... the treasured temple that is me

Passive, cold and fair are words I give to you

But you won't know 'cause I will not reveal

The unmasked pain in my heart

Time I feel my anger will engage

And erupt my patient emotional magma

Shut down numb with ever glazed eyes and

Keep an agreed dull sting always denied

Always holding inside

(The tears who will not choose to fall)

Feel no more

(Nothing at all)

Senses gone

(Until I feel a safer calm)

Empty is my only temple

If I could, only could understand

If I had a darker reason

If the answers could find me

Then maybe then I could flush away the madness

Ever shaking and twitching is

My mind of lasting prison

In a passive aggressive life

Long is the heal of the wound that must be filled

Cutting through the knots left undone

May pain be the light of the setting sun

(Close your eyes, feel no more)

Long fear are stones that we haul

Set them down, let them be

(Hear thy cries, empty is...)

The disciples lost in it's walls

Ring an alter that shall never fall

(Taste your drops, be no more)

Hollow shells with a will not to lead

Guide to the temple of the empty

(Senses gone, empty is...)

Hollow shells with a will not to see

Welcome to the temple of the empty
