Erebus 03:19
In the dead of the night He clings to a flame that is fading, A beacon of flickering light A Crooked candle burnt low Cuts through the tint of his window And guides him into the dawn Betraying his will Betraying his need Betrayed by the salt of the earth Her rotten seeds Have poisoned his mind His skin and his bones His lungs and his blood His heart and his soul My heart and soul In the dead of the night I watch a candle burn away Holding no fear of the dark I close my eyes, fall into sleep The sweet scent of the wax Has calmed and soothed my apprehension Leaving the night behind There's nothing for me here The day offers little restbite from the looming black He's either shackled in the light Or alone in the dark He knows the time is upon him The candle won't last The dreaded night is approaching So he better act fast Sleep and let and let the toxins flow out if his veins? Or stay awake and let the darkness take hold of his brain? Take hold of his mind His skin and his bones His lungs and his blood His heart and his soul Take hold of his mind His skin and his bones Take hold of his lungs and blood His heart and his soul

Who do you think I am? A fucking coward laid to waste by the fear of the of your word? Pathetic, craven, an unseer of hope? Bound by doubt, a running joke? Stare into this vessel of hate Let it burn your misjudgement away My self containment was confused with timidity And now control has been stripped by provocation, a declaration of war What, what fools these mortals be Shall I tear down the masks for all to see? Look, look at the beast stood before you The seeds are sewn, the future is bleak (the future is bleak, the angels weep) I will drag you whole Into the depths of my condition For a coward I am not No hope No peace Cast down to Tartaros Rot for eternity Buried under walls forged from iron and bronze Lost now to memory Return back to serenity Your face is forgotten And my malice reset I will drag you whole To the depths of my condition Torn and raped by the fear of my mind For a coward you are What fools these mortals be.

In my dreams we stare straight at the sun (straight at the sun) Reach out our arms and clasp the horizon (clasp the horizon) Warmth consumes us and soothes our aching bones (aching bones) And we rest in dream scape, bathed in light and far from home I feel only sorrow that this dream will never come to pass I feel only guilt that we never stood a chance My fucking lungs are failing from the constant pursuit Of what I can not reach, of what I must not choose The sweet blue seduction of forbidden taste Leaves me gagging for respite but longing for the chase I feel only sorrow that this dream will never come to pass (dream will never come to pass) I feel only guilt that we never stood a chance (never stood a chance) Until my lungs collapse Until I'm no more
