Frail dreams of grandeur wilt as the darkness sets My reckoning nears, I draw my final breath Trapped beneath waning, pale pathways to reality Shared destinies bound by the architect's writ A dying light flickers in the ethereal mist Frail dreams of grandeur wilt as the darkness sets My reckoning nears, I draw my final breath Beyond the restless stillness, I beg for the eternal reprieve My empyrean silently fades We gaze into private hells of untold pasts Waging our deliverance The ways of old thaw where fake messiahs scorn abstinence Deprived from the touch of the caressing dawn My cries drowned by distraught souls Empty broken vows (in) blinding gardens of abasement I watch the unrepentant seeking to appease their sins Shadowing the unending misery Through the illusion of immortality Frail dreams of grandeur wilt as the darkness sets My reckoning nears, I draw my final breath Beyond the restless stillness, I beg for the eternal reprieve My empyrean silently fades
