A trammel in the heart These sea-wave-like chains By design of black arts Weights upon our souls Even in dreams of peace We are lost in pain Forever In the tower of ivory Shallow waters run cold And silence surrounds Stars witness this fall unfold Downfall of light My answers forsaken me And darkness won't leave my eyes (alone) Reality dares me to face This guilty inside my heart I have seen the light (The cenotaph towers before me) I have seen the light (Above the waters of my own doubts) To rise above, and be the one (So I crawl inside and climb ever higher) That sees beyond the endless night (Beyond the reach of those who judge) And ride the stars towards the end (Never to come down again) Incomplete As the exposed structures howl From the bottom of the ocean This hollowness that eats my heart Rise to the stars Back to shelter Close to heaven Once again I tried to escape this hell Not looking down The skies so close Delusions in the dark Hopes in a world beyond Seeking isolation I hear the sound of my voice echo As a farewell signal Maybe I'll fade away And no one will ever reach me again The tower rises inside of me And fear becomes the only way to be Take this darkness that washes over me Take this guilt for a life never lived As the rain pours quenching the flames inside The tower rises inside of me The tower rises inside of me In a night so grey that I’ll never, I’ll never leave The tower rises inside of me And fear becomes the only way to be free Rain wash me away My own funeral In the tower-grave
