The reality of all I imagined
Was all of a sudden so obvious
And so damn vigorous
The chains that kept me at bay all those years
They were lifted and ultimately destroyed
I’d been saved by the one
For better or worse
Through sickness and health
Burden of her devotion
There 'til the end, death do us part
Devoured by her emotions
Trapped in a running wheel
We ran towards something we would never reach
Still bound by our promises
Old chains were simply replaced by new
Our desire to ascend just left us all the more confined
For better or worse
Through sickness and health
Burden of her devotion
There 'til the end, death do us part
Devoured by her emotions
You will need to let go though darkness descends all around
I must travel alone from here
In the name of our pledge
With the force of past
Grasping my last breath
In the name of our pledge
All I ever was has nailed me to this cross
(Silence, laughter, beathing, fading)
Silence is screaming my name
In laughter it hides
Breathing life in our bond
Fading again
In the darkness of tonight
Dancing shadows on the wall
Hiding from the light, into the night
Darkness to light
In the coldness of the dawn
Breathing faintly once again
Nurtured by the light
Into the fight, into the blight
Can’t you see I’m weary
Fighting for my life?
You’re so much more
Thinking you should know by now
Why won’t you see?
Your essence is tearing apart
Content of your own heart
You will need to let go though darkness descends all around
I must travel alone
In the name of our pledge
With the force of past
Grasping my last breath
In the name of our pledge
All we ever were will die
In the name of our pledge
With the force of past
Grasping my last breath
In the name of our pledge
All I ever was has nailed me to this cross
