The Dark Symphony

When you feel the cold is it tearing you apart?
And do you cry for every soul?
Is it true this world has really come so far?
Just to die and turn my heart to stone

A new world, a new tomorrow
A dream not meant to come true
Destined to fail
Only ashes remain
Memories of moments with you

Behind a million skies
I see your empty eyes
And they look down at me
Watch my every step
And as the day unfolds
I'm all alone in my kingdom of souls
A kingdom that I've never chosen to rule

And I never wanted to hold the masque of the death
But who am I now, forever in chains
A shadow is all that remains

Now I play the dark symphony every night
To guide all the souls to the kingdom of mine
We dance to the dark symphony I composed from misery
'Till someone plays for me

All of a sudden I hear someone play the violin
Could this be the moment
Could this be the day I'm released and free from sin?
Illusive refractions, no peace of mind
Only echoes of my own cries
A melody that never dies

And I never wanted to be
A reason for sorrow and pain
But look at me now
Through the dark you can see
A shadow is all that remains
