From Broken Vessels

From Broken Vessels - Orphaned Land

Unto this world I was born

Innocence scorned

Oaths were broken and pain bestowed

Innocence mourned

Trust betrayed smiles were faked

Desire turned hate

Faces of loved ones are long decayed

Alone in this world alone and so cold

Shiver in rain my story unfolds

A broken vessel endless pieces of me

Friends are now foes those who betray

Love's labour's lost a true passion play

Forked tongues drip with lies

Serpents hold me down I can not fly

The dark within my eyes

I hate this mates

This suit

Saint I'm not

Pure in mind and thought

Masks I wear

In this stage we share

Will we ever bare

These fears and hopes within one and all

Cracks they show

In the mirrors of my soul

When I break

Why do they all forsake

Is life but a mistake

Why do they smile when I fall apart

Go pick yourself up

You are the end now the chapter is done

Cry as you might to the Gods you adore

They hear you not as they never before
