Lyrics

1.In ages forgotten, a Reaper was born
2.Spinning tales of deadly belief
3.A yearning to traverse that forest of thorns
4.In remembrance of what lie beneath5.
6.The dangers abounding, the horrors untold
7.Cloud my vision, ’till I cannot see
8.Peculiar enchantments begin to unfold
9.And the Underworld calls back to me10.
11.As the light grows dimmer and fades…
12.Cross that river now, make our way beyond the gates13.

14.Release from our confinement
15.Together, we’ll find it
16.The trail is fraught with perils,
17.And yet, we don’t mind it18.
19.But looking towards horizons reminding me of then
20.Can’t repent
21.Though I’ve hardly been spent22.
23.A journey downward toward somewhere new, yet familiar
24.I’m learning how to stand
25.For the smile I swear to defend26.
27.Till the end
28.As we further descend, then
29.Shall we go?
30.To be swallowed by fates below31.
32.A moment in history, a flicker in time
33.A mystery I still can’t break through
34.I’m deathly defiant of crossing that line,
35.I don’t want to break down before you…36.
37.Reach downward to glory, yet upward- what for?
38.An ouroboros of earthly desire
39.Devouring my tale just to tell it once more
40.Am I still the gold statue you admire?41.
42.Collecting all the stories we’ve enjoyed
43.And reflecting on the thorns that near destroyed me44.
45.I sang about a journey’s end, and now we come upon
46.Another one
47.The sun setting earlier than believed48.
49.From this point downward, I cannot return
50.For the final dream I sought is so close yet far within my reach51.
52.Though I’d like it to be known
53.This I made on my own54.
55.Release from our confinement
56.Together, we’ll find it
57.The trail is fraught with perils,
58.And maybe all is as it should be.59.
60.I promise I’ll still be me
61.My mistakes
62.Somehow made a good story great63.
64.A journey downward toward somewhere new, yet familiar
65.I’m learning how to stand
66.For the smiles I swear to defend67.
68.Till the end
69.As we further descend, then
70.Shall we go?
71.Swallowed up by what waits below
