Procession of the Fates

=======================
With A violent strike as INTRO.
For Procession of fates only , scroll down, please.
They are separeted by a thin line.
=======================

And out of the great beyond came a pitch-black multitude,
Here to choose the weakest of our race:
Hellhounds with the devil's own face
Confused a violent strike for something finally here to guide the way,
Our faith in order was a mistake.
So fearful and divine and devoid of grace,
They try to run but there's no escape.
And the light decayed on that final day,
Fear crept up inside
Night became something more than a trade,
And our slumber, a weakness that we all can share.
Death calling in the wind: This is the end.

I watched as a spiral took shape across the sky,
It was like a call from the other side.

What will you do now?
The fires of hell are raining down.
Deep inside you're starting to shake
And slowly losing ground.
Everyone is dead. Your bravery is useless.
Your bravery is useless.

I watched as a spiral took shape across the sky,
It was like a call from the other side,
And there I cried, out of control and paralyzed,
As everything I once was died.

There's no way I'd be dying honorably,
If they came and took my life now.
There's no way I'd be dying honorably.

Regrets in tow, they didn't even stand a chance,
So hear me, final lines have been drawn:
To build again, to fall again.
It's warn me down to the last straw.
It took me down, took me until I don't feel human at all.
Test me now, test me.
I don't feel human at all.

So don't you go thinking that you found strength without a trial or two.
These days have got me feeling like a god.
Hear me, final lines have been drawn:
To build again, to fall again.
It's warn me down to the last straw.

And I held on so long to my home,
Until a tempest came
She came in and swept it away.
[repeat]

Where's your bravery?
What will bravery do for you now?

----------------------------

You make your way but don't belong,
I swear you're not the only one.

Is that what you've been dreaming?

There's other ways of staying strong,
Than keeping out the other ones.

And I feel the light years between
What you say and what you mean.
You won't get through with that phony confidence.
I hear you speak, but nothing is said.
You'll be stranded on the other side,
Endless nights upon endless nights.
Endless nights upon endless nights,
You'll be alone, alone to the grave.

There's a place in all of us, the same in everyone,
Making right the balances in all of us.
Aching and burning and growing and learning,
And building the world around us.
Until our lives are done,
We'll share the same emotions,
Shed tears of eulogy, then turn to plant our seeds.
Still you can't hear me, call out your name,
And try to get through, I never hear back.

And my words became a thousand arrows,
Slicing though the endless barricades,
So that everyone on earth could hear my call,
And I watched for you.

Now I know you're putting me on.
You've chosen to swear off the general population.
All those around you draw to a quiet.
Your eyes dart across the room,
But it's just an illusion.
The room doesnt exist, there's only you and I,
And it's almost like we can't fail at all,
Or maybe we've failed already.
What you choose to see is real
A cold dark world of enemies,
Obstacles you could never overcome,
Or a bright future ahead.

So tell the whole world and we'll start brand new.
Strip the shackles off, let me look at you.
If you can't reach out like you've been longing to,
I'll have to rethink all that I thought I knew.
