Album: Revelations (2006)

Cascades


Shadows cast where he eternal lies
Cascades of rain falling from the skies
You hide behind your shadowy veil
Desolation's call not far away
The bleak call of winter fills your thoughts
These summer days now at an end

This pain eats away, poison in my soul
Through the heart, burning back, right through my veins
Try to escape, try to fail, there's no where to hide
Stand alone, lose your mind, surrender of your grace

A lament to last for the rest of your days
this barely noticed of tragic tales

All alone in the desert of winter, reborn, riven from the grave
Darkness rising over the sun, disseminate into the grey
You suffer for want of virtue, virtues you could never uphold
Your legacy in ruin displayed for all to see

Your tears fall like the autumn leaves
Your destiny or so it seems?

Be still in time you'll understand
Wake up from the dream you think you're in
Be gone all the demons that surround
Beware as the heavens grow dark again

We dance, standing naked in the rain
Cascading down make us whole again
Vivid memories filled with so much pain
This past long gone - yet you remain

But still you remain
Mourn each and every passing day
And the rain comes down
To wash away your tears
Why do you grieve your life away?
And all you want is to live in pain
When all you need are these cascades of tears
