Profound Scars - Sirenia

Another day enshrouded in mist

Profound scars on my wrist

I failed to live, I just exist

Days of grievance still persist

Shining dreams of a life divine

Enshrined by the wheels of time

A growing darkness on my mind

Soon the cathedral bell will chime

Alleviation of my pain be done

I cannot stand who I have become

I see my life flash before my eyes

The cathedral bell chimes for me this time

Another night enshrouded in grief

No ascendance, no relief

All hope turned to disbelief

Wither away like autumn leaves

In the eye of the October storm

Every shred of warmth is torn

My heart feels ill, my soul outworn

I wish that I was never born

There’s a beauty in all fading light

A vivid gateway to a night divine

Like a velvet caress, so benign

Like a sacred unopened shrine

Becoming mine

There’s a waning garden in my dreams

Over flooded by a thousand streams

Streams of tears that makes me drown

Sinking down, further down
