Fall Of Empyrean Lyrics

Album: Unknown

Behind Vacant Eyes Lyrics

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
