Astray Songtext
von Khlad

In murky haze, mind entangled and lost
Caught in webs unseen and torn apart
Fragments of my essence, scattered, bare
Voices echo as shadows claw at fragile peace

The world′s decay, whirlwind of dry leaves
Carries the roar of its collapse
Eyes closed tight, away from all
But in this solitude, whispers never cease

Away, farther in reflection
Basking in saving grace of oblivion
The rifts, they yawn with truth, that drips like blood
Diluted in ignorance

As the sun sets, I stand a hollow wraith
An empty frame that clings to formless thoughts
Deny the dusk, deny these broken dreams
But shadows spread like silent roots below


Obsession's breath, a frigid, whispering wind
Denial′s shroud enwraps my hollow chest
A canvas marred by a gruesome brush
I sense its weight, yet choose to blind my gaze

Through arteries shedding painful memories
To wash away unwanted realizations
And finally seep through stone
Filtered by aeons of ignorance

In solitude, a throne of dust and ruin
Drowning in murmurs, echoes of the void
I feel my skull collide with worn out steps
And crimson spreads like silent roots below

Oh, if I could gouge my eyes
And break my bones against these stones
Would this bring back
The God, whose hand I rejected?
Whose words I mocked—
The grace, ravaged and cast away
Broken, ravished divine
The final gasp ringing in my ears


Pain would not restore what was lost
Nor rebuild bridges burned in scorn
Would it revive the voice I silenced
Or mend the grace I shattered?

The memories persist, a silent song
A testament to paths forsaken
Where once they walked
Now only echoes fill the silence

From the seed of nothing
Questions sprout, unanswered
Let there be night, as there is nothing
Under this starless sky
