So dark Once an amusement park Troubled whispers sound On a mute merry-go-round So cold Once a playground of gold Caved-in long ago Then poisoned with the snow Oceans of time, broken patterns align Hearts washed upon the isle It carries your name like radiance in the rain The wailing sirens alarm Old memories hang on and gravitate by weights of sorrow Through cracks and wounds, our pain reflected in a thousand mirrors It is time for deeds to take the shape of vows and codes of promise The time to let our minds speak silently in the act of darkening Out of reach (out of reach and gone from view) One step behind (now light is one step behind you) Other side (on the other side of the soul) Final role (the void resolves one final role) So dark Once an amusement park Troubled whispers sound On a mute merry-go-round So cold Once a playground of gold Caved-in long ago Then poisoned with the snow Oceans of time, broken patterns align Hearts washed upon the isle It carries your name like radiance in the rain The wailing sirens alarm Old memories hang on and gravitate by weights of sorrow Through cracks and wounds, our pain reflected in a thousand mirrors It is time for deeds to take the shape of vows and codes of promise The time to let our minds speak silently in the act of darkening Darkening Out of reach (out of reach and gone from view) One step behind (now light is one step behind you) Other side (on the other side of the soul) Final role (the void resolves one final role) Collapse into absence Collapse into absence Collapse into absence Collapse into absence Collapse into absence Collapse into absence
