0:51 still gets a few tears out of me every now and then.
I need a purpose and I need a reason
I need to know that there is trophy and meaning
to all that we lose and all we fight for
to all our loves and to our wars
~ “Last Light” by Converge
Shipwreck A.D. - Zenith
So now I stand atop.
Atop the highest peak.
Looking back at the voyaged path.
Tailing behind me.
From the deepest seas.
To the darkest nights, I survived.
But still the piece of the puzzle
Is missing from my mind.
Searching for the worth.
In every ocean.
In every land.
The olive branch, a second chance.
The purest dove to grace my heads.
Instead all I have is the wonder.
Of what’s on the other side.
Screaming. I pray. To the earth and sky.
“But what’s the point? All I’ll still find is nothing. Please say this journey has been for something…”
“Tell me do the angles fly with icy feathered wings? Do the deaf men of the heavens hear them when they sing? How are we to wake up without ever wondering? You won’t always find and answer to everything. So now my child keep your mind from wandering and find the peace inside to let your restless mind sleep..”
Rise And Fall - In Circles
Beaten senseless by the hands of time
I see their empty eyes as I pass them by
Tired of living a life that’s just a lie
Devoid of hope, born only to die
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
We all know what we are
There’s no beauty in this part of town
There’s no solace when the lights go out
I walk the same damn streets
It’s the same air that I breathe
Just like them I’ll live
Just like them I’ll die
To open graves, to empty hands
To our bitter fate, swallow it down
Breathless now, as silence surrounds
Another restless soul that life passed by
I heard him say that only dust remains
I paid him no mind but he sure was right
