Resigned to Darkness Songtext
von Empyrean Eclipse

I wear a crown of thorns
In my kingdom of tears
Veiled in a shroud of black
Robes of tattered emotion

Soiled and spoiled my love fades away
Darkness layered upon darkness
Deep abyss of empty thought
Reflecting on unfulfilled desires
All of my clouds are lined in lead
Scarred and charred, behold my broken soul


Must I continue with the glass half empty?
Shadow of shame, all encompassing darkness
Bleeding myself will only dull the pain
Enveloped by mind-numbing sadness
Shards of shattered glass penetrating deeply
All hope depleting, the only blood I bleed is black
Gouged out my eyes to avoid my own reflection
The weight of shame crushing down on my shoulders

I feel the nothingness consume me; praying for it all to end
Blinded by my own self-loathing; praying for it all to end
I try to run away; praying for it all to end
Confined in my mental lead coffin

I cannot continue on this yellow brick road of solitude
Please hear me now, ′merciful God,
' I′ve done all I can, I'm begging you
Mind careening out of control, a desolate path to insanity
Please hear me now, 'oh loving God,′ I scream unto you my final plea
