When Darkness Reigns

My failure is so evident

And I cannot hide the torment

Face first to the earth

Plagued by the earthly mind set

I cannot escape my basement

Face first to the earth

Hands around my neck

I might as well bow in shame

Overmatched, outwitted

Defeat is my only name

I believe everything you tell me

You've got me convinced I'm guilty

I'd better close my eyes and sleep

Runaway because tomorrow's a better day

But this is your hour when darkness reigns...

When darkness reign across the channels and mediums

I feel the loss

Face to face with the possible death of dreams

Mental purity fades to the obscene

Hence the search for another crutch

Another void fill, another cane to serve as much

And we'll mourn for death of the bother lost

And we'll toast to the death of another farce

Have I lost the battle?

Have I lost the war?

Do I have what it takes to endure the setbacks, ignore the scars

You'd have me adopt that suicide

You'd have me succumb without reply

But you forgot the thousand deaths I've died

You'd have me continue this pace

You'd have me join your race

But that grave will be nothing but an empty space

Arise from the dead, O sleeper

Prepare for the battle cry

Because this is the hour when truth divides...

When truth divides it's done

Revive the sick, the surge of blood

Grab a torch and we'll light and burn

Ignite offensives to claim the loss of sight

Wipe the sleep form your eyes

Release the fate of soul demise

And it's clear for you to understand that the smoke will clear and fill the land

And now the claims are made

Downcast eyes accompany shame

The chaos amassed against will redirect to find a home anew

To face the depths...

You've lost my enemy

Now taste defeat

Now taste your own saliva

Because you'll never quench the heat

Arise from the dead and wake
