Penance

(album: Lotus - 2019)

In silence, isolated, trying to stand on your own
Naive and numb you feed the leech that will feast off your blood
You wear indifference as cover to hide the demise
Build up your walls, fill up the glass, let it bury your cries

You're deceived by inner demons that were fed by your own hand
Shaded veils hide your perception, shooting nails into the heart

Still your mind, your soul, will find peace
In the dream, you end and leave us
You'll awake, without fear
And your thoughts, your whole, will roam free

Submersed in draining silence calmly inviting the curse
All debts and broken vows are fragments detached from our loss
The moonlight shone upon you staggering out in the cold
You tried to leave this journey forcing your kin to behold

Still deceived by inner demons that were fed by your own hand
Shaded veils hide your perception, shooting nails into your head
Still your mind, your soul, will find peace
In the dream you end and leave us
You'll awake without fear
And your thoughts your whole will roam free

Still your heart, your mind, will find peace
In this life all ends, you'll leave us
In your sleep careless you're falling
See my hopes dissolving
