Anomalous II: Ghost Of Asylum

Time will remain the mechanical God

Push forward never looking back to see behind

For it cannot change this empty life

Here within these halls we can atone but I prefer to be alone

With the ghost of asylum

Open these gates of conscience though we cannot see outside

A fear will suppress but we are alive

Though we have virtues of a different kind. I hide

A shadow waits within this fortress of insane

Taunting me, it feeds the doubt

I might not make it out

Time will remain the mechanical God

Push forward never looking back to see behind

For it cannot change this empty life

Here within these halls we can atone but I prefer to be alone

With the ghost of asylum

We won't become a slave to a faceless master

We don't want the questions, we want the answer

Never giving in, never caving in, we won't die

But are we getting out alive?

I will not fail or be drowned by your betrayal

I will escape from the chains of repression

I will not take a life of anger and suppression

I break out of the cage that

You've built around my soul

Intent to stay alone I

Conquer the fear that I'm sold

We are longing

To find the day

Through the darkness we can

Find our way

Shelter me

Find this lifeline stretched beyond the dark

I give myself to feel alive

We are beyond salvation now. Take my life

We've splintered far beyond repair

We lost all hope to return to a life that gave us mercy

Time will remain the mechanical God

Push forward never looking back to see behind

For it cannot change this empty life

Here within these halls we can atone but I prefer to be alone

With the ghost of asylum
