Conducting From the Grave Follow

the bell doth toll
the ringing stings in the vacant mind
a feeling all to real of my impending end
but i digress

abhorrent one
who are you to claim reign of me,
to judicate my sins, to condemn my life

but oh this chamber speaks to me
the walls, they breathe and sing their twisted psalms
blood hymns, consumes where darkness creeps

in the voids will i wake, reborn, enlightened
or was i left to remain, chained to this lifeless cage
will i rise from the depths, prevail unbroken
or will this abyss bring me to meet my early grave

do i not see
the rain turn glass
the shards that stab
unrelenting pain
like winters cold
the swarming chills
there will be no warmth to comfort me

but oh this chamber speaks to me
the walls, they breathe and sing their twisted psalms
blood hymns, consumes where darkness creeps

in the voids will i wake, reborn, enlightened
or was i left to remain, chained to this lifeless cage
will i rise from the depths, prevail unbroken
or will this abyss bring me to meet my early grave

these stars that i see,
the lights that now fade
they keep calling my name
though their voices seem
to be the least welcoming

the pulse is starting to slow
the rhythm deranged
the means to an end that i never planned on becoming

gone
gone

in my tomb i will dwell, down the rabbit hole deeper still
i am the sleeper who dreams, the lidless eye thats stirring
an empty vessel to fill by my demons, and my haunting past
the ignorance bread from a confused mind and the will to peer

and i am the reason you hunt for light
i am the reason you hide in fear when the dusk shrouds this lifeless earth
