The Cimmerian

Bound by the temples Barred from the organic, trapped in a mechanical maze A body assembled By the catatonic, whispers 'til I'm finally awake Soul of the departed, fabled god of treacherous ways Guides the heavy-hearted, now one with the shadows Shrouded in darkness I remain A memory cast away Death is my only saving grace Deliver me Now as the darkness dances with light The vessel soars through the afterlife I feel it clawing from under my skin It tears through the surface and breathes like the wind Forever defeated, shackled, torn Decimated by internal war Engulfed in the devil's blackened scorn Prisoner of the forlorn No sign of creation Their desperate prayers breed only despair A cry for salvation Struck dead in the air, my spirit ensnared A prophecy that was once heaven-sent Held at the mercy of shadow's intent My only hope for escape still intact Falls through the infinite black Shrouded in darkness I remain A memory cast away Death is my only saving grace Deliver me from this fate I feel your embrace And all my dismay Colliding in an ocean of decay Plight of the heartless, call my name Forgive me for my mistakes Within the ocean of my decay Father, forgive me for my mistakes And if the waves could wash away All of the hatred in my cells Then maybe I could navigate the road back to myself And I will find a way back to myself I will remember all that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever- All that was ever- Shrouded in darkness I remain A memory cast away Death is my only saving grace Deliver me from this fate I feel your embrace And all my dismay Colliding in an ocean of decay Plight of the heartless, call my name Forgive me for my mistakes And if the waves could wash away All of the hatred in my cells Then maybe I could navigate the road back to myself All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever lost All that was ever lost
