lyrics

Focused on my goal
I brace myself to go through
This valley of sorrow
I'm ready to go
As the moment approaches
I keep closing my eyes
Look into my soul

You've ripped my wings
You’ve stomped on my soul
I gave you all my things
You’ve burned them down to coal

You've ripped my wings
You’ve stomped on my soul
I gave you all my things
You’ve burned them down to coal

The time has come
The night will guide me
Tomorrow will take away
The fear of today

"Home, I'll be back soon"
I promised to all that remained

Gazing up to the moon
A tear falls on my face
Gazing up to the moon
A tear falls on my face
Gazing up to the moon
A tear falls on my face
Gazing up to the moon
A tear falls on my face

Feels like I'm falling down
Fear is approaching me
Visions of my life
But letting go is fateful

You've ripped my wings
You’ve stomped on my soul
I gave you all my things


I know how to prevail
I’m in control of my mind
I know how to prevail
I’m in control of my mind

What do I do?
I lost everything, goodbye
This time there is nothing left
For me to take

And she approaches me silently
Regretting everything she did
I stand still lifelessly
Waiting to be led
Will I end it all?

Will I end it all?
Thoughts of death scream to me
I see them leaving my eyes
As my soul follows them

I need to kill that thing
And we start the fight

My mind is being torn to reality
Strength don't leave me now
I know how to prevail
I'm in control of my mind
I stare directly into my eyes
And I kick her straight out of me
And then she loses control
Step by step she’s retreating back

I can see her blackened soul
And her burned black wings
Madness and sorrow are mixed
And hit after hit
I bring her eyes down to tears
Leaving her on skinned knees
Blinded by anger
My spirit of vengeance
Stabs her
Leading me to my final sentence

“You told me lies
There's nothing left to do”
She's finally aching
I see myself changing

As she is dying in my hands
I feel like being dragged
Into darkness with her
After all, we are both dying alone

The illusion of life
My illusion was our life
Your illusion is eternal

The illusion of life
My illusion was our life
Your illusion is eternal
