The Ladder Songtext
von Karcius

THE LADDER

Ian Chains emerges from the other side of THE FOLD
Now transformed into light and consciousness

I) BIRTH
All I
Hear is silence now
Chalice
Sorrow
Growing
Aware

Changing
Into a shapeless heathen
Forgetting the life that I had
Awaken

This is THE VOID
This is the darkness
Heed in the traveler′s warning


II) THE LADDER
"If you go down there
You know you'll lose your way
They′ll eat your dreams

"Here in this place, there is no peace
They'll eat your SOUL
And watch you slide the ladderway down

Come find us and we'll be dishonest with you
We′ll tell you we love you when It′s not true
We're faulty that way
Toy with our prey
Venery

Started Climbing
Trying to get to the top
I fell onto my back as I lost my touch
Kept trying to make it back to the ladder

Looked around, lost sight of the prize
Cried for help but no one came for me
They ate my body


Always
The same
Always
Searching for conscience
Always
Running
Looking
For love in the darkness

Don′t lose your touch, don't lose your flesh
Don′t lose your compass

III) PURGATORY
Are you so empty
That your heart can't feel a thing?
They′re lying to you
They're lying to me
And we waste our time

Oh, It's such a different realm
Than what we dreamt of as kids
Oh, I′m sorry but I can′t fight as they eat my flesh
Just trying to free from pain

Hell isn't the answer
Fear won′t lead to answers

Have you
Lost your way?
Are you
Looking for conscience?
Are you
Devoid of emotion?
Hoping
For love in the darkness

I got myself caught up in this situation
I got myself locked up in this reality I'm in
This prison they′ve made won't let us find answers
They destroy everything that grows
Destroy everything that breathes

Always
A trace of bane
Always
Running in circles
Always
Tearing skin
Always
Decipher the meaning now
The answer now
Keep searching for answers

This is their touch
This is their way

This is THE VOID
This is the silence

This is my fate
They need my conscience

Lost, they′re eating me
Savoring my conscience

My soul is torn to pieces
Empty void of darkness
