Illumination - Epicurean

Upon the storm that gathers here

The torment reigns like fire on my soul

I’d cross this ocean with both eyes open wide

Dream of the day that I set free

My sorrows into your world

When your heart ceases to shine

I’ll show you illumination

Divide the distance between I and I

To regain all the strength I’d lost

What she, it’s life for you and I

Shall endure a lifetime in our minds and in our veins

Though the moments slowly pass that burn my soul

I’d spend a lifetime letting go

And what will remain in its place is the thought

That I gave the world to itself to destroy

Upon the storm that’s gathering

Rides a lifeless burning god like me

Dying to divide the soul from life

And cast the darkness aside

Through it all, words of passion

Crumbling within my grasp

My angel of darkness, spread your wings

You’re mine this time, when I decide

Now, take my hand as our life burns away, turn to dust

When your heart ceases to shine

I’ll show you illumination

Divide the distance between I and I

To regain all the strength I’ve lost along the way

As the moments slowly pass that burn my soul

Through it all, words of passion

Crumbling within my grasp, fall as ashes at my feet

My angel of darkness, spread your wings

You’re mine this time when I decide

And fly on crimson wings towards the sun

We are no longer children of this earth

Would cast a shadow over us both

Before our willing eyes

So now as my life has turned away

What remains is the fire in its place

I know the time is ticking by

Time will change us, time will run

Upon that storm that’s gathering

Rides a lifeless burning god like me

Who would divide the soul from life

To turn the darkness aside

And when your heart ceases to shine

Show you all illumination, further lights us all

Illumination cast a shadow, illumination cast it over me

So if I could gather life

I would stand there as I am, as lifeless burns away
