Requiem - The Autumn Offering

I’m searching for the answers

None are written in the sky

Through all the hurt and pain of my life

All I ever felt…

Like I was dying for a reason

Yet the darkness left me blind

Rotting with the passing seasons

These times they undermine us

Tyrant of the individual

Beckoned by the lepers smile

We turn our eyes to an ethereal sky

My wounds were covered up by pride

Yet time always wins

I feel the emptiness

The misery haunts me

I remember holding on to anything you gave

Once again made a liar

Twisting the knife in my heart

You’re choking my breath

Descend unto me

Old man

Weak and frail

Dying under newborn skies

They’ll sing your requiem

Legacy of wasted time

Tyrant of the false spiritual

Cut out your eyes to spite reflection

I remember the hate in your eyes

You’re choking my breath

Wounds cover my pride

Filling with emptiness

Misery haunts me

You failed me

Final requiem

My wounds were covered up by pride

Yet time always wins

I feel the emptiness

The misery haunts me

I remember holding on to anything you gave

Once again made a liar

Twisting the knife in my heart

You’re choking my breath

Descend unto me
