Talk of recreation
Opening the chamber door
Entertain the veil

Of impossibility
And bitter consequence


Beneath this pallid face of yore
Shattered fragments take their hold
And I fade away


Drained of strength I take my leave
The essence still remains

Haunted by what might have been
Sacrifice in vain
With this departure, I bid farewell


Pretend that this is all a dream
Wide awake, I can't avert my gaze

When reason fails, fleeting innocence
Draws it's final breath


Drained of strength I take my leave
The essence still remains
Haunted by what might have been

Sacrifice in vain
With this departure, I bid farewell


Forsaken with the darkness
Calling out salvation
Losing the will to fight temptation

This moment must move on
But the pain goes on and on


Someday I will break these chains...

Drained of strength I take my leave

The essence still remains
Haunted by what might have been
Sacrifice in vain

With this departure, I bid farewe
