Ascension

The painful echoes of our past
My haunted memories
A castle never built to last
Is where I spend my dreams 
And everywhere I want to hide
The walls come tumbling down
Delusions that I can't abide
So, in dark mist I drown 
Until you leave me
Relieving the bale
Transfixing my soul
Free your heart from all the fears buried inside
And climb out of the sunless pit where you were supposed to die
Ascend the weary steps towards the throne you were denied
To claim your righteous place upon the tears that they will cry 
Like diving through a lightless sea
I am ascending to the ground
A new life, never meant to be
Unleashed from where it once was bound 
And every step I take, I think of how
I was thrown in this nightmare's realm
Contemplating how I could endow
Those who chained me in this hell 
Until they leave me
Relieving the bale
Consuming my soul 
Free your heart from all the fears buried inside
And climb out of the sunless pit where you were supposed to die
Ascend the weary steps towards the throne you were denied
To claim your righteous place upon the tears that they will cry
