Shroud of Lethe

Broken lights
Hide the past I push away
Still I lie in the wreckage
Fragments tearing my skin
Into the scars that I betray

It betrays us all

Why should I atone and wash away the pain?
I can't trust the memories leading me astray
Still I hold on to what I know are lies
Written in stone

Draped in shame
Wandering back through my life where I died
We were unmade
Till I find a light
Golden fire that gleams through the haze
Innocence lost that I reclaim

How can I atonе and wash away the pain?
I can't trust the memoriеs leading me astray
Still I hold on to what I know are lies
Written in stone

Digging in the snow
And my hands are frostbitten and raw
No longer cold

Locked in a crystalline
Tomb of memory
Agony and verity
When will it come for me?

Take this token
Of sincere apology
Words unspoken
So I sing their melody

The loss became a song of life
