Cold Conception

Awake
Shifting in time
Searching
Never to find.

Created
From dust we remain
Faded
Senses decline.

And lead us astray.

Will they know?
I was never
I was never alone.

Will they see?
Through the shadows
A broken heart of stone.

But now that I no longer
Fear my demise
Cold embrace the heartless
Before my eyes
And as the echoes follow
Whispering to me
In time we all betray the light.

Hollow
Far reaching void
Fallen
From stars we recoil.

Decayed
This realm we conceive
This cage
Lifted from soil.

And built with disease.

Will they know?
I was never
I was never set free.

Will they see?
Through the shadows
Beyond the darkest part of me.

But now that I no longer
Fear my demise
Cold embrace the heartless
Before my eyes
And as the echoes follow
Whispering to me
In time we all betray the light.

Into the darkest
Creation I walk
And I ask
Am I really here again?

In waking moments
No meaning at all
And I know
Am I really here again?
