1.	The Longest Day 05:10	lyrics	buy track
A message laced with grief for what was the final time Given with love, but taken with guilt A spiral of agony for the loss of a friend The emptiness is only beginning Each moment takes its toll I am lost without you There is no return for us But you will never be forgotten The days may pass still But the fog never clears Were we destined to drift apart? Only questions remain Lost in this sadness I pray for forgiveness
2.	A Wilderness of Sorrow 06:19	lyrics	buy track
No God is the only true god They're all in exile As outcasts, they carved my form In their image I am lost Destined for endless pilgrimage To wander the desert plains In search of deliverance As a lost child cowering from life God of each eye fixed to heaven God of flesh hewn from earth God makes me in His image Like a well in this desert Hands clasped together for mercy And parted to find only their own blessing I have suffered for my God I've seen my dark and mortal God She has shown me the truth That's carved into this life The weight that we bear To live in His shadow The weight that we bear To live in His shadow
3.	Light on the Water 05:24	lyrics	buy track
The light moves in motion to the breath of the moon And I am in trance to its stories It has been told in silence, and now to closed minds But among the chaos I am listening What image is gifted by this ethereal light? A twisted version of the truth Dreaming of a time when the sun sets for the final time And the moon will sing no more There are tales to be told that never will be heard When the coldness ceases movement No more will the light shine down on me And all will be silent once more Forgotten dreams in emptiness
4.	Buried in Time 06:12	lyrics	buy track
Time moves in endless circles While the hours slowly fade With heavy hearts, we mourn the past Devouring each moment toward death To dwell is to vanity A mortal obsession We grieve for our loss While we ignore our gains Entomb the moments of regret Lest you be consumed by madness Eternity shall greet you kindly With open arms To dwell is to vanity A mortal obsession We grieve for our loss While ignoring our gains Flooded by euphoria Everything in sincerity The divinity of calm Shining by the peace of love The stars still glisten in the night sky While the stalking darkness of time moves on
5.	Distant Waves 05:19	lyrics	buy track
We are as waves breaking on some distant shore As our time hastens to its end Each movement guided by those before A journey of predestiny As the stars guide us to our fate We crawl as though time has no meaning The eclipsing moon Covers the pain of all our sorrow Time is never on our side We see the beauty too late Feeding on our frailties A life cut short There is no hope In death's cruel hand
