Of Ash Video (MV)

The aftermath of your lack of sanity
Is empty shells and austerity
A desolate path you're forced to walk alone
That leads you to a broken throne

Lead you to the quiet meadow wherein you're content to lie
Lamb to the slaughter, ignorant of what is so close by
Perfect disguise, no light inside
Spreading his lies, oozing darkness
Cry for release, finding no peace
Your pain unleashed, branded discontent

Pain in extremeties, in the skin
Plunging deeper into the abyss within
Obscuring instinct with a shrouded hand
Cleansing with flame impurities a decade spanned

Fire - Consuming all we are
Fear - That has brought you this far
Pain - Reminder you're alive
Longing - For a reason to die

Searching for light, lost in the night
Blind to your plight, dismal parasite

You flee, cowering from the fire
Too weak, not yet ready to die
Burning, scalding away inside
Set free, brought back into the light
Once more, mired in apathy
Closed door, locked here in agony
Screaming, echoes in empty halls
Pleading, no-one to hear your call

I am your friend, on me depend; abandon all you've given
And in the end, we'll meet again; on your complete abscission
Under the skin, I burn within; I am all you ever need
You think it's fate, you isolate; my strength feeds the hanging tree

Pick up your pen
Pour out the lies I feed you
Say your goodbyes
To those you always eschew

Abandoning the light within; walk the path of misery
Feed on your guilt, your spirit wilts; prey to my dismal liturgy
Another chance, the Devil's dance; enter the flames and join us
You have the strength, commit at length to what you find so amorous

Give me your pain
I will devour all you love
You are nothing
You are waste to dispose of

Reach into desire's black pit
Fall into the sickening abyss
Isolated from all you know
Join me in the fires below
