Kingdom of Sorrow

Enlightened To Extinction

Kingdom of Sorrow


Those dead eyes see no empathy
They fail to feel, unable to believe
With nothing behind the gaze glaring out
Black roses wither for all who’ve been chosen
Reach inside the scar
Caress a weathered heart
Awoken by the blade
The kiss of stainless steel

I had already buried you
There is nothing left to mourn
I had already buried you
I only kept the memories I loved
There is nothing else left to mourn
You’ve been enlightened to extinction

That dead touch can’t feel what I’ve held
Unable to grasp just how I’ve dealt
In the darkest corner of your plight
Barely alive enough to reach towards the light

There is nothing left to mourn
You’ve been enlightened to extinction
There’s no last look in the past
You’ve been enlightened to extinction

Reach inside the scar
Caress a weathered heart
Awoken by the blade
The mourning begins
Reach inside the scar
Caress a weathered heart
Awoken by the blade
The kiss of stainless steel
