The Departure

The Departure
Talk of recreation
Opening the chamber door
Entertain the veil
Of impossibility
And bitter consequence
Beneath this pallid face of yore
Shattered fragments take their hold
And I fade away

Drained of strength I take my leave
The essence still remains
Haunted by what might have been
Sacrifice in vain
With this departure, I bid farewell
Pretend that this is all a dream
Wide awake, I can't avert my gaze
When reason fails, fleeting innocence
Draws it's final breath
Drained of strength I take my leave
The essence still remains
Haunted by what might have been
Sacrifice in vain
With this departure, I bid farewell
Forsaken with the darkness
Calling out salvation
Losing the will to fight temptation
This moment must move on
But the pain goes on and on
Someday I will break these chains...
Drained of strength I take my leave
The essence still remains
Haunted by what might have been
Sacrifice in vain
With this departure, I bid farewell
