Empty Hands, Hollow Hymns

Stripped bare, mind crumbling away
 As flames fade, on to run, on to pain
 Ground down, pulse waning away
 As flames fade, on to run, all in vain
 Whispers echo, fresh shards to break
 These patterns fade, on to run, end of reign
 Lungs of soot, bund and bound
 Mist rising from tepid waters surrounds
 A veil of depths, hidden below
 A shape forming slow to grown
 A vision fades, hands reach out
 Devoid of form, cloud full of doubt
 All that you're giving, all that you see
 Drifting before you, ash in the stream
 Can't tell what's real, can't tell what's right
 Certanty gone, mind full of lies
 Haunted, haunted, fragmented light
 Broken and naked, teeth sinking bite
 Battered and bruised, futile excuse
 Bundly march on, call is too strong
 Shock to the core, delirious and maimed
 No choice is sane, collapsed under strain
 No choice is sane, what's left to claim
 Racked with fear and regret
 Running blind, can't forget
 Body shacking, soaked by sweat
 Fingers numb, cold and dead
 Broken whispers, fell voices
 Endless fog, self betrayal
 I'm chocking and crawling
 Cult of ego, ghosts calling
