Loss 06:03
Have you ever seen a loved one dead before you? Have you ever seen their skin, lifeless and pale? Have you ever seen them laid within their coffin? Have you ever seen the wounds that tell the tale? So look at me for I have seen... Loss, loss - It rips your heart in two Loss, loss - It drains your soul from you Loss, loss - It grips and drags you under Loss, loss - All you know is torn asunder Have you ever felt a kiss from breathless lips? Have you ever felt the touch of a frozen hand? Have you ever felt all-encompassing misery? Have you ever felt emotions you can’t understand? So look at me for I have felt... My eyes have seen the darkness and destruction My hands have felt the stillness and the cold My eyes have seen the end of it all My hands have felt a body stripped of soul Have you ever known everything to crash around you? Have you ever known the real weight of death? Have you ever known that there’s nothing you can do? Have you ever known the true meaning of useless? So look at me for I have known... I have lost Still I live

Under the lights and judging eyes I pull at the wounds Watch as I tear them open wide I pour out the pain and it will not cease I bare it allThis is my cathartic release Let it all go, set it all free Unlock the chains inside of me Release the hurt, release the fear Unleash the words for all to hear Reveal myself Unveil the flesh Tear down the walls Peel back the skin Unveil the flesh confined within Draw out the poison Let the blood drain Unveil the heart devoid of shame I spew out the words that boil in me For all to hear I loosen my tongue and set it all free I pour out the pain and it will not cease I bare it all This is my cathartic release This is my release

Age old texts, written in my blood This tome holds everything that I have done The triumphs, the downfalls too With every passing day my knowledge grew I write my final words My chapter has closed My story ends My story told A new chapter starts The scripture is passed down Your time has come Your time is now Age old texts I gift to you It will hold everything that you will do Turn back the pages, read from the start Validate all you feel within your heart Become the bearer of the torch Become the wielder of the flame Before I died I gave you life Carry on my legacy Carry on my name Before I died I gave you life Inherit my history It is your time

You walk a blackened path Which step will be your last? You walk towards the pyre Fall into fire The inferno claims us all We will all be erased at the end of days Destiny will come to claim You will walk into blackened flame We will all be erased by the final blaze Destiny will come to claim You will walk into blackened flame You can try to prevent your death It will find you You can try to hold your breath It will leave you With open eyes you’ll realize You are fragile You can’t escape inevitable fate You are mortal You will burn The fire will take your soul We all burn The inferno claims us all Incineration, obliteration, eradication, extermination Burn

Sleep is solace My only shelter from the shadows of the waking day I welcome sleep to take over Within my dreams you come to me Your death became the funeral of my mind Sanity has decayed since the day of your demise Suffering internally Suffering eternally I shut the light, wait for sleep Forget the day and close my eyes Let me drift, fall asleep In the solitude of slumber you shall rise Come into my sanctum Under moonlit night Rise Suppress my inner torment My mournful cries Rise

Inherited life force, inherited name You and I are one of the same Inside of you and inside of me We harbour the blood of our family tree We will always share this name Not even death can break our chain Bonded by the within both of us A crimson unity for eternity What flowed through you still flows through me It is the power that makes me be Vitalise and invigorate With this force I can create I bleed your blood You bled my blood It courses deep within my veins To remind me in times of pain You will always be my brother The bonds of blood transcend all others
