WITHERFALL LYRICS

1. A Prelude To Sorrow


In the stillness that surrounds us
Where she rides
From the hazy windswept autumn
To the darkest winter nights
If the dead could smile back at us from
Beyond their withered graves
Their sightless eyes of sorrow fixed in time


2. We Are Nothing


I can't find my center, though I've been
Through this hall before
The light is rushing past us
As we open up the door
The room is slowly spinning
As I try and make my way
To the other side beyond the gate
My final resting place

In the shallows,
The murky light of the dawn
We are shadows,
Reflecting visions on these walls...

We are nothing
This isn't real
We dance in madness
Pretending the truth is revealed
We are nothing
Our souls are just flickering lights
To be extinguished,
Snuffed out by the cold hands of time.

Staring into nothing
Only memories survive
Wading into darkness,
No illusions I'm alive
My life is flashing quickly through my mind
& begins to fade
Into the abyss, the eternal night
As my being slips away

What is this?
What do you have in store for me now...
I've given into your wishes so far
One last time, I'll abide by your rule

Who am I?
Will there be anything left of me now?
You tell me nothing and no one here knows...
If I close my eyes
Can I will them back open again...


3. Moment Of Silence


Staring into darkness
We try and make our way
Lost inside this paradox
Of solitude and shame

We're all falling
Towards the same uncertain end...
Destined to be nothing but kings
On a tumbling hill of sand

The line is breaking and time has passed us by
So let's all bow our heads
In a moment of silence
This is the hour... Dark empty sober eyes
Will watch us fall from grace...
A moment of silence

Enslaved, we move around this room
As if we have a choice
As if a door will suddenly appear
To take us through these walls
Into another life
Only to find "The truth is" what you fear

Fall into the mptiness
We all
Are consigned to the shadows
Fall into the emptiness
We are
We are destined
Destined for nothing

The line is breaking and time has passed us by
So let's all bow our heads in a moment...

I.I.I. Outro
The line is breaking and time has passed us by
So let's all bow our heads in a moment...
In a moment of silence
This is the hour...
Dark empty sober eyes
Will watch us fall from grace...
In a moment of silence...
In a moment of silence


4. Communion Of The Wicked


Invited we walk through scattered bones
The remains of the wicked
Left to mingle with the unknown
In the garden, left behind all I once knew
I can't say I'm not excited at the thought that
I'll soon be passing through
And I know that these are just words

Lies I tell myself when I'm alone at night
And there's no one there to answer my prayers
My communion of the wicked.
Will this night be my last

The ground is stained, a fallen lark
Where trembling shadows lie
The dream is lost still I'm not awake
If I could only close my eyes
And reach the other side of fear
We wear the mark of innocence in vain...
We tell ourselves these lies to hide the shame
And we'll soon be passing through

Lies I tell myself when I'm alone at night
And there's no one there to answer my prayers
My communion of the wicked.
Will this night be my last

Our time is closing in
We are never to return
And now we say goodbye
As tomorrow drifts away...


5. Maridian's Visitation


Time is cruel, it slowly follows us
Like a trailing and ever fading light
'Til there's nothing left,
Just shadows cast on the graves
Of those we left behind

Then you're fine for a while
'Til it all falls apart
And we try to forget
It will be us next time around...

Now we're here in this void of space and time
Into eternity we fall
The distant sun has set
Only shadows now remain
Still somehow we chase the light


6. Shadows


Time and suffering,
The only constants in my fragmented existence
I am the void
Slaves ain't masochistic
They bow their heads
And pretend they wear a crown
They sit on their throne of the dead

Shadows are all that I see
Is there anyone left alive
Come and give me sanctuary
Shadows are beckoning me
Follow us to the end of time
Far away from tragedy

Pain and desperation the only option
Time will accept no forgiveness
I watch them fall
The end a simple concept
We are waiting for nothing
As our lives pass us by
We are blind to the struggle ahead

Everywhere I look
People walking 'round acting restkess
Saying things they do not mean
As they look in my eyes, with a smile:
I play unoffended...
I play unoffended...

Shadows are all that I see
Is there anyone left alive
Come and give me sanctuary
Shadows are beckoning me
Follow us to the end of time
Far away from tragedy

Shadows are all that I see
Is there anyone left alive
Come and give me sanctuary
As it all falls apart
And we watch the dawning of the end
'Til all the lines of existence fade away...


7. Ode To Despair


We question ourselves till all is revealed
Till we're left with nothing
No cards left to play
No mystery left unrevealed
I gave you my words, then you needed more
If time wasn't spent on such trivial things
Then you would have noticed before

When you give nothing
Nothing is what you'll receive

So here now again we try and stay whole
So easy we fall into a well of despair
So easy to wallow alone

Sometimes mirrors only show
What we want to see

And we'll fall into despair
And we'll get no reprieve
As we descend further down

You see what you want to see
In our ode to despair
And we'll get no reprieve
In our ode to despair

Time just slips away


8. The Call


The cold hands of time,
Have frozen in peace
Your journey is done...
You have arrived.


9. Vintage


A solitary light, not a soul arounds us
As it burns in my mind,
Illuminating the despair
It goes on into the night,
The hours go by quickly
Like every stranger passing
By pretending not to care

Now it's everywhere that I look
Their faces all seem so unreal
Like they're ripped from the pages of books
Now they're lost and never revealed...

Now the haze is setting in,
And the silence begs the question...
Could it be just from the wine?
That we're numb beyond repair
So, we slip back into the light,
To hide from the shadows
But they follow close behind,
Whispering in our ears

The light is now fading
A shadow walks by my side
She whispers "You must let go now"
And Maridian's waiting...
She tells me I'm not alone
It's as if my world is coming down...

Time is not worried,
Doesn't care about plans
The things we create
Will be ripped from our hands
If I can't pretend that I'm not losing this fight
And all is forsaken
But the memory of a slowly dissolving lie...

We can't take it back

No...I will not succumb
I will not obey, into fires of hell
I'm alone but I am not afriad
I have never shown you what i AM
Or what I can make out of this shell

Seen from above into the world below
Am I lost?
Alone on this final stage the spotlight gone...
So afraid...
I'm leaving here to a place I do not know
Is this the end?
Gone from this existence will I go on?
Somewhere in time to reappear... like an echo:
My voice will carry on.

Travel on my friend,
Your memory will never die...
From nothing you made a world your own
This is not the end, your music remains alive
The cadence of life can't resolve

Travel on my friend, your story forever told...
From nothing you made a world your own
This is not the end, you'll always e by my side
When I feel like I can't go on anymore.....


10. Epilogue


Here we are...
We all stand in line to die alone
We are forgotten
Slowly rushing to the exits
And... All you'll see
All the memories
That you thought were yours
Will fall away
Bleeding out of you to nothing
