"We continue down the path of solemn resolve
Determined to prove our own insanity
Instead of facing reality
An ominous fog descended
And our way was lost to the haze of nightmares
Fictitious and natural
Dancing like tribal madmen
Through the undergrowth of my mind
Ethereal drums speak transient rhythms
The end is near
The end is near"
Out of a flash
I saw you beckon me in
A window into your plight
The greatest sorrow
There's no help to offer
These symbols transcend
Comprehension
This ghostly friendship
A recurring memory
I've misunderstood you
Completely
The greatest sorrow
There's no help to offer
These symbols transcend
Comprehension
A lonely call leads us down the lane
Her figure roaming out of range
You draw the lens
Take careful aim
Pull the shutter
A flash of light reveals nothing
Eyes open wide
All the while we see nothing
Change approach
A captive entity
Truth exposed
A negative reality
You've seen this before
The trees give way to the moor
The spirits bound to the land
An ancient plan
To fuel this evil evermore
Oh, you never saw it
Blind, they told you nothing but lies
Oh, you always felt the pain
Now you'll never find solace again
Who will take the blame for this ending?
Lunar rays light the way
These darkened clouds dissipating
As the scene fades away
Moonlit figures led astray
