Portrait - Ashen

Ashen, the creatures
who dwell in this kingdom
Ashen, the sorrow that speaks
through the silence here
Dark lies the world so cold

Ashen, the vision brought forth by oblivion
Dark lies the world so cold

I hear their cries
And see their images wither
Yet their shadows remain for all time

Ashen, their faces they're marked buy distress
Ashen, their heavens no sign of salvation

Black as the night so cold

I hear their cries
And see their images wither
Yet their shadows remain for all time

Ghost of this world, ashen its sight
Forever haunting them
Those who here dwell, and who here find peace
Contentment in fate, absence of light
Shadows enchanting them
Those who here die shall live again

Empty...
Their eyes are watching us
Perpetual blindness
Ashen their rope, lacking the will to wake up
Nightmares are haunting them, forever dreaming
Is this for real? Come to an end...
Am I alive?

Horrors of life haunting in death
Forever bound by time

Ashen, the sorrow that speaks to them constantly
Ashen, the world soul upholding eternity

Deep lies this corpse so cold

I hear their cries
And see their images wither
Yet their shadows remain for all time
