The man, like a brother, lost on me
Was more human than any could see
Another heart sold away for a stone
An outreached hand still searching for home

Losing shared control
Cast down far below
A truth so opaque
Just like his mistakes

Now pay attention
To his imperfection
The vanity casted
A shadow on his heart

Some are destined to be forgotten
Leave all of me behind and fade away

Losing shared control
Cast down far below
A fatal illusion
My final ruin

The jack of all broken lives and trade
Was the hate that caught and dropped your blade
The floor falls out below everything
Blackness takes me in its dark coiling

Time won’t wait with nothing left to lend
It will come and change out all the ends
Always the blight of your own serpent
You sought an answer with any purpose

Release me
From this despair
The fallen
Never come here
Memory
Forgot my name
A soul now
I cannot claim

The truth of twilight perpetuates
No hammer casts your eternal fate
The grand fall, the greater ascension
A guiltless man, his karmic prison

Lost in this place with no walls to contain
All my reprisal seems to be in vain
The sky, it mirrors something back to me
Turning only to what I want to see


Another disciple incantates the prayer of the dead
Communion won’t atone or rewrite the pages of what’s been done
What’s done

They cannot speak here
Acts fell on deaf ears

No light will shine down, no flame will consume
Drawn from the shrine where verity can bloom
The sovereign of nothing, the worthless crown
Look to the skies, the answer’s never found

This condition of existence
Neither death nor creation

How can I be this
(Nothing)
I cannot be this
(Nothing)
How can I exist
(Escape)
Please make me exist
(Escape)

The jack of all broken lives and trade
Was the hate that caught and dropped your blade
The grand fall, the greater ascension
A guiltless man, his karmic prison

With a final way to escape
And someone to take his place
A new deal written inside his head
And something tells me I’m what’s kept

Leave her here and alter how all things stand
Her soul will remain mine to command
One last time a life is put on the line
A cozen of another kind

A deal with an end that is fixed again
As shadows start to stare through him
I'll show you I want to undo this end
And go back to where it began

So I can change all this and start everything new again
