Penance - Soen

In silence, isolated, trying to stand on your own

Naive and numb you feed the leech that will feast off your blood

You wear indifference as cover to hide the demise

Build up your walls, fill up the glass, let it bury your cries

You’re deceived by inner demons that were fed by your own hand

Shaded veils hide your perception, shooting nails into the heart

Still your mind, your soul, will find peace

In the dream, you end and leave us

You’ll awake, without fear

And your thoughts, your whole, will roam free

Submersed in draining silence calmly inviting the curse

All debts and broken vows are fragments detached from our loss

The moonlight shone upon you staggering out in the cold

You tried to leave this journey forcing your kin to behold

Still deceived by inner demons that were fed by your own hand

Shaded veils hide your perception, shooting nails into your head

Still your mind, your soul, will find peace

In the dream you end and leave us

You’ll awake without fear

And your thoughts your whole will roam free

Still your heart, your mind, will find peace

In this life all ends, you’ll leave us

In your sleep careless you’re falling

See my hopes dissolving
