Girard - Damnation Lyrics

Damnation
(A ballad lamenting eternal suffering in Hell)

[Intro]
Shadows creep where light won't tread,
Ashes fall on the paths I've led.
A crimson sky, a hollow cry,
Forever cursed, I cannot die.

[Verse 1]
Chains of fire hold me tight,
In this land of endless night.
The echoes of my every sin,
Carve the walls I'm trapped within.

I see their faces, hear their pleas,
Broken souls on burning seas.
No redemption, no escape,
Fate is sealed, the end has shape.

[Chorus]
Damnation, my soul is torn,
Condemned to burn since I was born.
A sinner's cry, a hollow plea,
No savior left to set me free.
Damnation, the price I pay,
For walking down that wicked way.
Forever lost, I can't ascend,
Eternal torment without end.

[Verse 2]
Each scream echoes in my mind,
A cruel reminder of the time.
When choices made with selfish greed,
Led my heart to feed the need.

The flames caress, the pain won't cease,
No mercy here, no fleeting peace.
I thought I'd rise, I thought I'd reign,
Now I'm bound in endless pain.

[Chorus]
Damnation, my soul is torn,
Condemned to burn since I was born.
A sinner's cry, a hollow plea,
No savior left to set me free.
Damnation, the price I pay,
For walking down that wicked way.
Forever lost, I can't ascend,
Eternal torment without end.

[Bridge]
Oh, I'd give my all to turn back time,
To undo the sin, to cleanse the crime.
But the gates are sealed, the key is gone,
And here I'll dwell as hell sings on.

The faces stare with eyes of fire,
Each one a mirror of desire.
They burn for love, they burn for hate,
All victims of their chosen fate.

[Chorus]
Damnation, my soul is torn,
Condemned to burn since I was born.
A sinner's cry, a hollow plea,
No savior left to set me free.
Damnation, the price I pay,
For walking down that wicked way.
Forever lost, I can't ascend,
Eternal torment without end.

[Outro]
The flames will fade, but never die,
They linger on in the devil's sky.
And as I weep, my heart will learn,
In damnation's fire, we all must burn.
