The Burden Of Eternity

The Burden Of Eternity - Epicurean

Light the dawn realization unfolding

That this tortured mind is unworthy yet inside this light

I spoke the words that severed barriers of silence

And though at times I may suffer

I never lost the perception

As a result forced to witness horrors that most cannot imagine

Though I command the armies of forever

I only dream of death

To exude the emptiness I felt as eternal youth birthed its gift

And when the passion falls away

Only madness remains in the eyes that navigate the darkness

And when you scream your tears run dry

All the light you gave soon fades my darling

Days that stretched on for a lifetime

Only in death unite us both

These words live on in my craving for everlasting life to shine through me

Now my soul has been torn into subtle pieces of a memory

I soon take flight through the burden of the burden is eternity

I'll tear them down utter words I've been longing to speak

So to unleash of the burden that slips off my tongue

The end that draws us on drawing closer with each passing moment

The light you cast is mine in this lightless chasm

Unyielding malice overtaking seeps into my soul to seek forgiveness

May this path lead the way to find the end of all those memories I hold dear

Lie in ruin ashes at my feet

Now I'm a witness to the destruction of another

A witness to the demise of me

And all the anger left consuming won't set me free from its grasp

The blood in my veins flows like sand

Through my heart and out of my hands

Fill the burden of life this life isn't mine

I'll tear them down utter words I've been longing to speak

So to unleash of the burden that slips off of my tongue

The end that draws us on drawing closer with each passing moment

The light you cast is mine in this lightless chasm
