Lyrics

Now that the creature of crippling fear Has turned its head Now that the skin of sleepless nights Has finally shed I feel I can return A wiser man But the wounded defeated heart Has another pathetic plan It'll scrape from the blackened walls What life it needs But only enough to sustain And enough to bleed For beyond the lifeless cave Of necessity The creature awaits its prey Of misguided strength Its weakened vessel still out in the vold A mask of weary eyes and bones of old Even though the last battle was the deepest hell I've found It always seems so simple the second time around "Run free now, you'll return" "Hope guide you, you won't learn" Now, the time has come to strengthen the shield Lay down the spear, submit and yield Centuries I've lived in fear, Awaiting lessons from the writings in scars All I've learned from all these years The beast is immortal so I'll never tread Far Immune From life From death Locked in here I know all the secrets of The monster's hidden thirst So I'll restrain it with despair Cause hope only drives the curse The bare bones are well known By the darkness, so I'll just stick with the Bare bones, the soft moan Of the painless, the heartless Silent Collapse
