Swallowed By The Moon

Novembers Doom

5:58

I'm sorry you will never know me,
But know I always loved you.
Will you remember when I kept you safe?
Will you remember when I made you smile?
Once again the daylight fades, and I'm swallowed by the moon
Will tomorrow bring a new day of hope?
Will this experience fill you with rage?
The enemy time, knocks at my home
I can no longer hide
Please forgive me, I never meant to leave
But know that I had you as my final thought
Will you remember when I held you tight?
Will you remember the sound of my voice?
Once again the daylight fades, and I'm swallowed by the moon
Will this experience scar your fragile mind?
Will you remember when we would both laugh?
Memories is all that you have
And I'm sorry I failed you in life
I wanted more for you then I could provide
Be strong and make your mother proud

Don't cry... The tears in your eyes
My time... To say my goodbyes
Heaven waits... My soul to arise
Torture, torture... My pain finally dies
Will you remember that I tried my best?
Will you remember the father I was?
Once again the daylight fades, and I'm swallowed by the moon
Will you look back and smile for me?
Will you remember me when I have gone?
Memories is all that you have
And I'm sorry I failed you in life
I wanted more for you then I could provide
Be strong and make your mother proud

Dark World Burden

Novembers Doom

6:09

It's all so clear to me now
A fraction of the man I used to be
For every breath I take draws in the fear
Only I know that the worst is yet to come
I live in a dark world, where no light shines through
I carry this burden with every step I take
Thrust myself into a new days end
And focus on the hour glass, to help pass the time
Day to day I push myself on
My facade can fool the strongest mind
And my loved ones can only watch from afar
A single mirror to view the void
Tragic yesterdays, and unseen futures sleep
Footprints in the blood from my wounded heart
My dark world is where I call home
Until the day comes, and the light calls my name

My arcane cell is covered in resent
I never asked for any of this
I follow the path which leads me to nothing
Searching for my smile I lost long ago
I stand alone in the company of none
Cheated by reality, philosopher of the gray
A brave inner child stands strong in refuse
A treasure of impurity will find a way to breed

In The Absence Of Grace

Novembers Doom

8:09

Heaven is so far away from this Hell, Carried by the wings of shadows pain
Why did you turn your back, And leave me without your grace
Fallen so far away from the light, Courage will no longer be by my side
I stand here all alone, Waiting for you to see my need
I'll give my life for you, You'll see the fallen man
Heaven is so far away from this Hell, Carried by the wings of shadows pain
Why did you turn your back, And leave me without your grace
Fallen so far away from the light, Courage will no longer be by my side
I stand here all alone, Waiting for you to see my need
I'll give my life for you, You'll see the fallen man
I had trust in you, no more lies, I end this now, and walk away
So pathetic it's come to this, If you only could see my side
I live with this every day, and the struggle overwhelms me
For the loveless, And for my wake
Only when I close my eyes, And the day draws to an end
Thoughts of you stronger then me, increase my faith in hate
For the child, And for my heart

Only when I close my eyes, And the day draws to an end
Thoughts of you stronger then me, Increase my faith in hate
Always dreaming of better days, Since cast out from your sight
I'll live with the life I lead, And smile that you're no more
Why did you turn your back, And leave me without your grace
Fallen so far away from the light, Courage will no longer be by my side
I stand here all alone, Waiting for you to see my need
I'll give my life for you, You'll see the fallen man
I'll give my life for you, You'll see the fallen man

The Dead Leaf Echo

Novembers Doom

7:30

Since the day I let you believe, that a grand life I would provide
I am haunted by the failure you see before you, consuming the echo
To travel the road of our dreams, with my back against the wall
All I can do, is look the other way, and pretend that your face held a smile.
Not to see your sullen eyes, staring past my soul, into the darkness of night.
I feel I've failed you, when we both know, I never had the chance, to say hello.
Far away from your warmth I fade
Silently, I bid you farewell, and wallow in the moment
So very small, this distance between us, to travel so long, and gain no ground
The very face I see in the mirror, knows the truth behind the lies
For my trust, I hear the dead leaf echo, and the answer awaits us on the other side
Far away from your warmth I fade
Silently, I bid you farewell, and wallow in the moment

Looking back to the days when we were poor, and all we had was each other
You looked so sad, and almost ashamed to have me at your side
In circles spins my mind, and the vertigo makes me sick
All I can do, is look the other way, and pretend that your face held a smile.
Not to see your sullen eyes, staring past my soul, into the darkness of night.
I feel I've failed you, when we both know, I never had the chance, to say hello.
