The Desolate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Surrounded by walls, confining me
This desolation mocks my final plea
Another scar I feel the pain
Can’t find the strength to face the strain
I set my course, no turning back
Damnation turns my world to black
So withdrawn, my mind is numb
I watch it all become undone
A growing fear, my own disgrace
A drowning mind in a dark embrace
The silence deafening my ears
It wields the shackles that I’ve worn for years
No god above, no hell below
This is the only world I know
The path I chose has lead me here
And now the time has come to face my fear
I’ve served my time, I’ve served it well
Now I’m nothing, but an empty shell
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget
I’ll turn my back with no regret
All I had is what I gave
An empty soul, a shallow grave
No god above, no hell below
This is the only world I know
The path I chose has lead me here
And now the time has come to face my fear
There is no hope for tomorrow
I’m longing for my dying day
I will not wander in sorrow
Death is just a breath away
