Heart of Darkness (Album ~ Reqiuem Act I)

In the core of pain, Darker than black
Binded by sin, Sanity lost with falling tears
Bringing back unwanted memories, Blood drips from open wounds
Like a rose pedal floating in a pond, You're no longer in controll
Rolling down the hill to face the fears you hid from so long
Hiding in the Heart of Darkness like a child in the night

The center of ignorance, Stained with crimson
Binded by lust, Joy taken from your hands
Opening those scars again, Chains hang from your body
Like glass shards spread across the floor, Your fragile and broken
Laying in your own ashes looking at the monster before you in the mirror
Hiding in the Heart of Darkness like a secret unwanted

And your path for atonement failed, Still stained with sins
And your lust for freedom failed, Still locked away in the dark
Joy you once knew lost with your soul
Behind you more suffering awaits, In front of you still unknown
In the ashes you left a creed

What you longed for was in front of you,
Calling you, With arms wide open
The world forsaked you, left you all alone but there was someone always there

Waiting for you to come back, You're paid with blood
You were always whole, Unbroken
Falling love and forgiveness washed away the sins
Raining mercy cleaned away the blood of your suffering
You can never be sold, Tears kept in a ocean

The wounds you bare will be healed,
The burden you kept will be taken
Can't you see when no one else in the world ever loved You were always loved.
