In a dream
As I was brought to those crumbling church walls
In the midst of it all
My mind played tricks, illusions took hold
Haunting, the hour drew near
Panic struck hard as daylight faded away
Chasing a candle lit form
The mind deceives, lies become truth
Faceless demons discourse
A ghost leads the blind in grief this night
The only way is to recreate my life
And pay the august price for one last goodbye
Hollow throughout this phantom is sweetest pain

It clutters your mind
Blinded by the stars
Breaks down individuality
Into pieces of a wish
Emotions go misunderstood
Closing curtains draw
A dreadful applause
From frightened skies
We live in desperate times
And on a stage I'm drowning
In a pool where wolves lament
And suns do not rise
Underwater I dream
Exposed and alone
And whisper secret wishes
In deaths arms
A dream I want to believe

Death comes smashing like a stone
Aching heart is now alone
In Nibelheim he haunts the halls
The crumbling church forever calls us home
Lilies sinking in a lake
The suns descent at daybreak
Shouting out to nothing in the dark
Piercing the clouds heals no pain
He’ll never see her face again
In Nibelheim he haunts the halls
Aching heart is now alone
We share our world with ghosts of old
Wingless birds that dare to fly
Toothless vampires bled dry
Shouting out to you in the dark
Ghosts direct the play we share
Spectres of the friends once there
Its memories of you I’m shackled to
Beyond this life I feel you waiting
On the other side longing for rest
Within this heart which beats for you
Is a love pure longing for rest

Beneath the cover of night
The churchyard stirs a dream
Winter, a cold opus opposed
Against my snowbound hand
Denial, freezing
My tainted soul withers
Striking pain
From this life of agony
So sweet that which empowers
The soul when light draws low
Empty all that weep
Into the lake of sorrow
Beseeching in faith
Distant tunnel lights
Redemption, recovery
From this life of agony
I walk
I breathe every lovers final distressful words
And I see every dusk and dawn that they foretold
I walked an old path for the last time
Then blown away like candlelight
Forgotten like snow that had once enrobed a death
All life gone
