In The Stillness Of My Room

In the stillness of my room,
In the silence of my mind,
Lost within my thoughts
Trying to find the reason why
I have lost all of my hope
And all my dreams have died?
I'm left living in the past,
My ancestors guide my light.

Lost souls scream at me
From the temple of the wind,
They drift among the shadows
Trying to unwind
The web of their misfortunes,
Trapped in purgatory existence.
I know just how they feel,
I know morbidity's insistence.

The firm demands of fate,
In a future so surreal,
Filled with ghosts from my past
Who know the empathy I feel,
To know the pity of the soul
And the sorrow of the heart,
Fate demands a sympathy
That I can't understand.

Aroused by my misfortune,
My passion flows through tears,
To leave the opaque visions
Of a world that's so unclear,
Devoid of all reality,
Within a looking glass nightmare,
Everything is back to front
And nothing feels right anymore.

As the phantoms move through time
From the portals of the past,
To linger like a haunting melody,
To dance with the shadows cast
By the flickering tongue of candlelight
That tries to pierce the gloom.
The silence lasts forever
In the stillness of my room.
