"Rooms And Shadows" lyrics

"Rooms And Shadows"

I walked into the room of shadows and closed the door behind me

Silent walls remind me of my faults
Bleeding paintings of holy colours
Burnt letters and ghosts from the past
Floating through the heavy air with the ghosts I left behind

Like the ashes I left behind

From the cradle of this life I bleed upon your holiness
The ones I left behind
My heart, withered with time, dead from all this emptiness
The dark I came to find

Blind is the mirror that reflects this art
From poisoned daggers and lies it's been forged
To carry the weight of devil's wings is less than what I carry inside

I carry inside

From the cradle of this life I bleed upon your holiness
The ones I left behind
My heart, withered with time, dead from all this emptiness
The dark I came to find

When everything vanishes around you and slowly slips through your fingers
And all you have left is pain, would you do it again?

Alone in this empty room of shadows
Alone, filled with memories of nothing
Would you do it again and remain the same?

From the cradle of this life I bleed upon your holiness
The ones I left behind
My heart, withered with time, dead from all this emptiness
The dark I came to find
