1. VANISHED

Here lies where the once great fell
Cold, black thoughts surround this shell
Greeting hands, the timeless void once more

Let the night come ever fast
The purest form to be at last
As the life once lived now rests still on the floor

Embrace the night again
Returning to the hidden place
Back to the darkest space
To sing the songs of weeping friends
And to leave this world today
Look now at this broken face
Vanished without a trace
Into the shapeless depths descend

A bitter grief in this hour
The barren fields to be scoured
For the reason and the purpose; never to be found

Left behind the empty feeling
A shroud of anguish here concealing
All that remains are the wretched cries, from the peaks they shall resound

These depths are painted in dripping, dreary death
Condemned as one shall take their final breath
Splintered and shattered, the soul cannot bear
The suffocating grasp of dread and despair
Deteriorated; much too young to die
Echo the weeps and the withered to the sky
