The Empty Unknown Songtext
von My Silent Wake

I need to redeem myself
Need to release my tortured mind
You know this wasn′t my choice
The words are mine in another man's voice
Darkness came down upon me
Sickness tore right through me
Pressure, the depths of that misery
Felt just like suffocation
You can look anywhere for answers
I looked for too many answers in you
This fool thought it lasted forever
Trying so hard not to witness the truth
Lost to supplication
Forever beyond the pale
Tribulation, sorrow and pain Burning deep within my veins
Darkness came down upon me
Sickness tore right through me
Pressure, the depths of that misery
Felt just like suffocation
You can look anywhere for answers
I looked for too many answers in you
This fool thought it lasted forever
Trying so hard not to witness the truth
All we have is ourselves now and we are alone
All we have is ourselves now and we are alone
All we hear is the silence, the empty unknown
We kept turning the key but this wasn′t a home
Looking up at the skies where the swallows had flown

You look at me with tears in your eyes
Wait long enough and everything dies


This is not me, this is not my voice
You look at me with tears in your eyes
Believe me now, this was not my choice
Wait long enough and everything dies
Love lost and found and lost and found
Moving forward then turn around
Feeling alive then feeling alone
In this garden of thoughts and neglect
Gaining a strength and losing ground
I need to redeem myself
Need to release my eyes from you
I will live on in hope of something better than this
Until I breathe my dying breath

Lost to supplication
Forever beyond the pale
Tribulation, sorrow and pain
Burning deep within my veins

All we have is ourselves now and we are alone
All we hear is the silence, the empty unknown
We kept turning the key but this wasn't a home
Looking up at the skies where the swallows had flown
