Grave Warden

I've been waiting
I've been waiting so long
To walk the path I fear to tread

Now it's time to hold communion
You dance around the lights, I saw your movements
Shadows or peripheral illusions?
There's still so much I need to say

I buried you so long ago
But I'm still here, trapped in my own reverie
I often return to reflect on the darkness I can't fully perceive
Light is not welcome here
Don't illuminate my fears
I am welcome if you're shown due reverence
I will not disturb your rest

Just another ghost to the agony
I couldn't find myself, so I'm damned to live in eternity
Perception phased in flux
Is reality falling away from me now?
Often wonder
If I'm destined to ever reach my recovery
'Cause right now, I'm nothing more than a voice for the dead
So hear me out

I am a weaver of death
Wrapping my former self within a shawl of oblivion
I guard your grave with care
Blessed with a curse, a burden I'm bound to bear

You lost your way back then
You had to die so that I could live again
You had to die so that I could live again
May you never rise again
You won't destroy what I have built
Rise again
You are the catalyst of grief and guilt

Just another ghost to the agony
I couldn't find myself, so I'm damned to live in eternity
Perception phased in flux
Is reality falling away from me now?
Often wonder
If I'm destined to ever reach my recovery
'Cause right now, I'm nothing more than a voice for the dead

Burn, burn for me
Light the pyres that may finally set me free
I guard your grave with care
Blessed with a curse, a burden I must bear
