Myridia - A Distance Eternal (Part One)

Upon this ancient ground
Beneath unhallowed skies
Without a sense of purpose
I've come to realise
I have felt it in the air that I breathe
I am a vessel for the world as it sleeps

So, as the truth becomes clear
Immediate recognition of paradise
Lost to the hands of time and winds of change
What ensued is now forgotten
Abandoned machinations of all life
Exist in stasis and await release

Night has fallen
A land once blessed by light
Beyond all recognition
Footsteps upon a tortured plane

I will not kneel

I find a strength born of fate
Though in time all strength must fade away
Into the void and there to remain
Temples decay before a distance eternal

Into the void and there to remain
A spirit in a shell watch it all fade away

I am the phantom
I am the earth
Incarcerated
Bound to this form

Internal struggle takes its toll
Visions of an ascending soul
I see a new future unfold

Purpose rain over me
My tired eyes can see
The spirits have awakened, they've come to set me free
We will find our own way
Though in time all strength must fade away
Into the void and there to remain
Temples decay before a distance eternal
