Black Soterion

Unto thee a farewell, I speak in vain
Take flight I must, to the emptying place
Where forgotten ones wander and saviours escape
Ego-rituals vanquished by the knights of disdain

Empires forsake in circles of dust
Ruins not worth pecking at for riches nor for loot
As the adverse effect to the Midas touch
Kenosis received by the world-serpent's drains
Into wishless crypts, where all hope has been slain

Remember me as pain
Remember me as war
Remember me as futility
Writhing in bloodsoil...

I am the winds of devastation, on these infected plains
I am the rain of a thousand tears, she'd with dead innocents
I am the crown of victory buried with the bones
Lost amidst shrapnel in empty fields.

Remember me!

I've waited so long for this day
Just to hear your voice
I'm happy that I spoke my mind
And I found you in these dark times

I don't understand why I feel this way
But I know I can't deny these feelings
So I cry everyday and I'm so far away
From seeing your face

And I can't even write the words to explain
How I feel

There's this one thing I need you to know
And I've got to make sure you hear me
Cause I'm feeling so alone
And I'm tired of trying to say
That I miss you

I loved walking and talking about living
Without each other
It's strange how five years pass in a teardrop
And in a moment you forget that you cried

So I'm sorry that I hurt you
I'm sorry I was mean
I'm sorry about the beauty that I could never see
I'm sorry that I walked away
From a friend in need
In need of the love
You never got from me

And I hope you understand
I hope that you can see
That this is a heartfelt true apology
But above all this...

There's this one thing I need you to know
And I've got to make sure you hear me
Cause I'm feeling so alone
Cause I'm tired of trying to say
That I miss you

I miss you
