Altars Of Grief

Isolation

Altars Of Grief


Left alone 
With what I have become 
Close my eyes 
Kingdoms fall around me 
Crowned with scorn 
A heavy cross to bear 
Turn away 

I was never strong enough 
To face what I left behind 
Seeking comfort in anything 
That could distract my troubled mind 
The snow fell once again 
Guiding my journey’s end 
In solitude and twisted steel 
Haunted by the grief that I still feel 

Against an endless horizon 
The fire seemed to burn forever 
Another day smoulders into night 
Alone, I travel on 

Finally at peace in frozen isolation 
Where nothing dwells, but the spirits of my past 

This decision would haunt my life 
In the silence where all light dies 
And as the seasons began to change 
Revealing all that winter claimed 
Beneath the frost, in endless sleep 
A lonesome death for all to see 
Preserving where my failures led me 

Against an endless horizon 
The fire seemed to burn forever 
Another day smoulders into night 
Alone, I travel on
