The earth you see Resembles me A cold and dark disturbing place A world of god turned to disgrace
A new day has come The sufferings begun The beauty you once knew is gone Disappearing with the birth of dawn
Cries, as the searing sun appears Through your eyes and deep inside Fear, of this excruciating pain You run to hide and question why
CHORUS
A prophet spoke of this pain But you chose to just ignore You turned away, betrayed The feelings you had in your heart
The seeds of humanity Will be defied Until the end of time You see the visions You cannot deny
The destructive light of dawn Each day, grows so very strong
Why can't you Accept the truth Your souls have died and Your god has too Blasphemy, a new life for you Still you pray for an end You cant comprehend The sights you see in front of you The light that burns keeps haunting you
You could not describe The horrors that you see here An epic tragedy Lives controlled by fear
Sure catastrophe As the sun drifts closer Scorching all on earth They never will recover
REPEAT CHORUS
Unrelenting, this heat you cant bear Life is filled with torment and great despair The end approaching with every new day As you face extinction and cannot be saved
Where is your god now that nothing is left He abandoned you and now Laughs at your death The sun is here and the earth is in flames What was once the way now dead in space
Fall of Empyrean:
Behind Vacant Eyes
Lyrics by Steven Henson & Richard Medina Music by Justin Burning
A decrepit man intently stares At the now calm lifeless horizon While most of his memories no longer exist There is one never fading
I was alive with youthful integrity
A cold december night Accosted my senses whisper of the wind Shaped my reality Took by surprise decayed pretenses I deciphered the meaning To my advantage delivered false promises Baited the trap Deceptively clever I engaged the victim Gained pure conviction With deceitful lies I taught myself To be abhorrent Took admiration of helpless thoughts Sufferance was comfort Like blankets in winter a cold heart hidden Misfortune always evident always there
Each day a new veil hiding the past Compassion had vanished Leaving no trace my newfound guile
Is my future There is no shame when harm is blind Contemplate the unknown Whose eternal rest would always stir A mind at ease If only he knew his only victim Was in the mirror They say self-reflection is good for the soul And cleanses the blood But if your heart is oblivious To your grasp of life Then the gray shadows down at your feet Fade into black and vanish
Desolation unaware As you look at yourself endure the pain See the fear deep in your eyes As you hide behind a blank disguise
A decrepit man intently stares at the now Calm lifeless horizon While most of his memories no longer exist There is one never fading You look in disbelief as you see your own life With his tragedy Hopeless destiny in your mind you cannot Fight what you soon will see
Your eyes shed the tears of blood You can't ever hide When you see the visions behind vacant eyes
