Purgatory

The devils dance with me as I descend
Such beauty smothers me
Euphoric dissonance
Unmask the beauty in the abyss
Where the ones with no eyes sing elegies at my feet
I dared to fix my eyes upon the light
I stared so deep my vision was consumed
And as I observed what it held in its depths
The dreams I had lost
Began to bloom
Began to bloom
Began to bloom
Began to bloom
Began to bloom
Its creation, omniscient
Such as the scattered leaves of time
Its elegance fused in such a way
But what I now describe
Is but a glimmer of that light
What I now describe
Is but a glimmer of that light
My thoughts, like black smoke, arose from my skull
And shattered the sky that once shone above
A broken symphony calls to me from the flames
A haunting orchestra caressing the dreams I crave
When I got lost in depths
Their minds got lost in the flood
I yearn for what they fear for
What they fear for
Purgatory my love
Take my soul and set it free
I yearn for what they fear for
What they fear for
When I got lost in depths
Their minds got lost in the flood
I yearn for what they fear for
What they fear for
Purgatory my love
Take my soul and set it free
I yearn for what they fear for
What they fear for
It was only in the nocturne that she came to me
A constricted figment of my discoveries
A solemn guide that knew me better than I
Who let me out of this pathetic lullaby
Purgatory's calling out to me
It was only in the nocturne that I came to her
An unbound spirit from the mind of a sepulcher
When I got lost in depths
Their minds got lost in the flood
I yearn for what they fear for
Purgatory my love
Take my soul and set it free
I yearn for what they fear for
What they fear for
When I got lost in the depths
Their minds lost in the flood
Purgatory my love
Take my soul and set it free
Devil, show me the light
Devil, can you show me the light?
Devil, let me indulge in the blight
