Phoenix Slain

Come apart
In the final hour of day
Wish I could have stayed
Losing sight
Run into a dying sun
The hunt has made me numb
Look at me
Did I ever really see
Unsure of what to be

Searching
Waiting
Losing time while precious moments pass

Endless night
I’m a void of stolen dreams
Skies I'll never reach
Fading flame
Smothered by internal rain
The Phoenix finally slain

Endless night
Twilight beckons I give in
And walk toward the dark in shame

Voices urging me to chase illusive dreams
Don't you see – therе's nothing else
I could go so far
Soar in stellar skiеs
Once I live to serve this darkened star

I departed in belief of imaginary lies
I forgot my name and went astray
So I'd escape the pain
And so I fell into another kind of midnight sun
It turns out I forged a life of emptiness

(I want astray – forgot my name)
I can see my fervent dreams were colored in pale and fading grey
(The pain remained – escaped in vain)
Fading in cold light still at a loss

Voices urging me to chase illusive dreams
Don't you see – there's nothing else
I could go so far
Soar in stellar skies
Once I live to serve this darkened star

Wearing shadows to end the silent cries
Phoenix dies – never to rise
Leave my inner war
Run with blinded eyes
Lest I learn what lies beyond dark suns
