THIS FRACTURED SOUL – SO INCOMPLETE
AFRAID OF LETTING GO – OF SWEET RELIEF
TEMPTATION SETS – BUT FOR WHAT USE?
MY ENDLESS THOUGHTS FLIRT WITH ABUSE

A DAMAGED ROAD – SO LONG SO COLD
THE BODIES STREWN – LITTERED WITH CROWS 
I STILL DRAW BREATH – AND TASTE THE AIR
OF BITTER DEATH – LOSS AND DESPAIR

GOD – WHERE IS GOD?
GONE – ALL IS ROT
ALL IS COLD

THIS HORRID SOLITUDE
THIS BREATH I HOLD FOR YOU
I AM FILTERED OF LOVE AND LIFE
THE GREAT COLLAPSE – THE END OF LIGHT

GOD – WHERE IS GOD?
GONE – ALL IS ROT
ALL IS COLD

WHERE IS MY SAVING?
MY REDEEMING?
AM I WORTHY?
FOR I HAVE WRONGED…
AMONG THE ASHES LOST…
I HAVE NE'ER BELONGED…
I, OBLIVION
FORGOTTEN

ALL OF MY VISIONS ARE HAUNTING
THEY SCREAM AND SHOUT - LEAVING NO DOUBT
THAT WHAT I'VE SEEN 
FOLLOWS ME INTO MY DREAM
AND I SUCCUMB
AND SEE WHAT THEY ALL HAVE BECOME
SILHOUETTES BURNED IN THE SUN!

HARROWING PROPHECY
NEVER FREE - JUST MOCKING
THE SUFFERING HAS NO END
NO REPRIEVE - HOLLOW BEING

I CANNOT BE SAVED OF MISERY

THE END IS STILL SO FAR AWAY
MY WORDS ECHO AGAINST THE GRAY
HOW LONG AGO WAS YESTERDAY

I AM NO GOD
I AM NO DEMON
I AM THE ONE THEY CALL “OMEGA”
I AM THE ONE THEY CALL “LEGEND”

THE WINDS THAT SCREAM MY NAME
DISPATCHED WITH SO MUCH HATE
AND THE HORDES OF SCATTERED PAIN
SNEERING AT MY FATE 
I WADE THROUGH DEATH UNSCATHED
WHILE NOTHING ELSE REMAINS

ALL THE LIFE THAT ONCE STOOD TALL
RAVAGED WITH BRAZEN GALL
AND THE LIGHT THAT SHONE FOR ALL
SNUFFED AS THE WEAKEST FALL
AND AS THE DARKNESS TURNED TO RAIN
I WAS ALL THAT REMAINED

OMNES SOLUS
TRISTE CALCARE
ULTIMA NOBIS

HARBOURED SHAME - ETERNAL
FILLS MY SOUL - ETERNAL
MY ENDLESS TOLL - ETERNAL

YEARS THAT COME AND GO
SEASONS ALL ARE COLD
LIVING WITHOUT DEATH
I AM ALL THAT'S LEFT
I AM ALL ALONE

SO DESPERATE
HELP ME - KILL ME - MAKE ME OBSOLETE
AS I TREAD SO DIMLY
