Verge of Slaughter

Stared at the waters for far too long
I try to entwine my life once more
Surviving beneath unworldly pain
Learn to leave the demons at bay

I call to the air with no response
A distant land that few will walk
Tied to the souls of the past abused
Ethereal Death, Indelicate Life

Vaporous winds have covered the sky
Gripping us all in a deadly trance
Releasing control of conscious times
Hear the seraphic phrase of decease

Impulsive natures deplete in me
Irresolute feelings concealing the urge
Made to feel the weight of the plight
Now, I go down in ecstasy

Their rapture takes hold
Verge of Slaughter

My felicity, turned to fear
All that I knew, All that I loved
Paling my brain into hollowed form
Gazing towards an empty space

Whispers coming in great detail
Screaming for help, wanting release
Sitting alone forgetting the days before development of the haze

No, I will not stand for this
Breaking through their godly control

Facing all my past mistakes
Buried deep inside my brain
Those haunt me in the dark
Haven't been the death of me

Will you spare me

Makers rising from their slumber to confront me and silence me
You won't leave us, nor inhabit your former self
We have you captive

You took me
Took my life
Made me pay in abuse

You're no god
All I see before me
False prophets

You can't have what you've lost
Come and be one of us

I won't let you take me away

Deep in the darkness, I fall to the madness
Stuck here with nothing, just despair and false ecstasy
Calling to nothing
Reminiscent of past times
Haunted by visions of our last moments

Exposing my true form
Destroying tormentors
White flashes come when revelations arise in me

I will escape this
Finding the lost time
Stay there and watch as I'm becoming alive again

Burning from the other side
The memories lie inside my brain
Escaping the force that took me down
Removing the grasp from 'round my throat

The godly power from that place casting a light on what remains
Dimming the past and starting anew, stuck in the focus of my new view

Formerly trapped inside my own personal hell, man-made demise
Power and force prevented my end, now they guide me past the abyss

Though I lost my former self
All that I knew, All that was mine
I'm sitting alone embracing the days of my life outside the haze

Their rapture lets go
Verge of Slaughter

My rapture is now
Now I go on
