Forgive Me Not
05:02

Forgive me not.
Of all the things I wish to implore,
Do not pray for me anymore
For I have succumbed to my doubt
And turned my back on the Divine
These things that go against
The orderly procession of the heavens;
A skeptic's soul am I
Forever rejecting the Divine
Across the skies, defiant
A Harlot Star that thwarts the will of God
For I shall seek no comfort in God
No solace except that which I define
I've seen the dogma revealed
And I know they've preyed on my fears
Content to question without regret
Or fears of eternal damnation
For I have seen the stars,
I've seen the suns and watched them die
Across the star-shot sky
One being will defy
The order of our God-forged heavens
Frozen deep in doubt
Trapped with no way out
I can't pretend to want forgiveness
Forgive me not.

The Curse of Doubt
03:15
|
|||
A violent omen in the sky
A tragic moment to decry
On that evening when faith died,
Never to be forsworn a lie.
A lie, that I'd been told,
And learned as Gospel Truth
Falsehoods came crashing down, my whole world came apart.
Pulled forth from innocence, crushed my naive heart
Poisoned from my earliest childhood memories
Trained and obedient, I never questioned why
I was to give to God all glory, and my life.
My life...
My whole life.
I trusted this lie.

An Exile in Storm
02:12
|
|||
Forced to abandon that which I call home.
Set out into the storm, never to return.
Forthwith into the night, towards uncertain times
'Gainst the driving rain, I leave my world behind.

Prisoner of the Past
05:25
|
|||
Run! Flee! As if the hounds of Hell are at your heels
Far away to escape the Inquisition's steel
Northward bound, to the lands of my ancestors
Where the followers of Jesu will be turned away by pagan swords!
Turning back, through the pages of antiquity,
Scavenging through the wreckage of a history
Of a people and a culture, crushed under the heel
Lost to lore, for all time, this fading legacy
And it's plain to me that I will never live to learn my history
Regret and rage is all I have to bear
Among the crumbling ruins of the past, will I find what I'm looking for?
My gods, y people, to be found nowhere.
Travel through these forgotten lands
Feel the futile steel in my hands
Long ruined are the cities of old
Abandoned, destroyed oh so long ago
Far away!
To the lands of my ancestors
Lost to me
Are the secrets of the past
Never will
I reclaim that which was stolen from me
Lost to me
Is the one thing that I need to be complete.
And it's plain to me...

The Forgotten Graves
10:21
|
|||
All this time, spent in vain
All the searching, nothing gained
Still I wander against all hope
To find a place where I belong
With my past on my heels,
The relentless pursuit of ideals
Driven further and far away
Pay for the sins that my thoughts betray
Betray me to rest
There's nothing left
O gods let me die,
For here ends my tribe
There is nothing, nothing left
Of my people, my clan, my kin
All their knowledge forever lost,
Chained and bound at the foot of the Cross
How can I not fall to despair?
Here lies death, and I am the heir'
Why have the gods forsaken me?
Better to have been left blind than allowed to see.
Knowledge is a burden you cannot escape,
Your awareness shall be your curse
For all of the years you will carry the weight
Of a truth that can never be told
For you, the world will not pass you by
You will feel it every day
The bittersweet loss of all innocence
As your mind and body decay
And so it ends,
There is no end.
The forgotten graves lie silent and still
An eternal wait that time will never fill
I am left behind, I am tired and alone
A man without destiny, will I ever find a place
To come home to.
O gods, this cannot be
I've come so far to find
Nothing but dust and ruins
Of long ago
Born into legends, and folklore
And children's tales
O please my gods
Don't let this be the end
Oh please don't leave me here.
Please, don't leave me here.
