lyrics

Extinguishing the fires
Apathetic to the sting
Callous to the scorch
Though weathered by the storms of times before

Cold familiarity
Biting at the seams of peace
As ice within these veins
Crystalizing to a frostbite underneath

So concludes the respite
Overcast in solemn compromise
Oh anguish of mine
How thee strangulate
A heart and soul benign

Curse this human condition
Summon forth the abscission
Apostasy of wallowing
Shan't sanction this ambition

Sever these sick limbs
Senescence
Restoration

Countered by a sudden
Shift in times
Grievances shall only
Yield demise
Fire in spirit
And the will is mine
Carving pathways
Soon to realign

For the past
Is set in stone
Thus the scars
Mark what I've atoned
Yet this power
Still remains
Channeling endurance
To permeate the rust of pain

Prophet of perdition
I denounce your travesty
I declare thee powerless
Thine clutches have no
Grasping over me

Vengeful eye of adversity
Watching each and every turn
A heart of iron shan't atrophy
For I descend from conquerors

Calling aloud enraged
Summoning the strength
Alchemist of might
Takes form in my shape

Imbibing the seed
Take root and arise
Emerge and ascend
Now
Again

Sever these sick limbs
Senescence
Restoration

Countered by a sudden
Shift in times
Grievances shall only
Yield demise
Fire in spirit
And the will is mine
Carving pathways
Soon to realign

For the past
Is set in stone
Thus the scars
Mark what I've atoned
Yet this power
Still remains
Channeling endurance
To permeate the rust of pain

You see
it's not so simple
As disregarding all that's
Transpired
Inquiring
The thought that
There's something more to this

This gauntlet so incessant
For what it's worth I won't pretend
it's not painless
But dare not
Give it the slightest whim

Countered by a sudden
Shift in times
Grievances shall only
Yield demise
Fire in spirit
And the will is mine
Carving pathways
Soon to realign

Gazing forth
emboldened now

Towards the silent offbeaten path
old inhibitions all fall behind

As fallen leaves descend from above
And paint this scene in auburn light

Corralling this essence within my heart
Serenity in the somberlain

I find my peace and draw this remark
As oppressive heat surrenders to cold

I can never yield
Now wash this lament
In rivers of ice

Countered by a sudden
Shift in times
Grievances shall only
Yield demise
Fire in spirit
And the will is mine
Carving pathways
Soon to realign
