Ouroboros

歌詞

In ages forgotten, a Reaper was born Spinning tales deathly belief A yearning to traverse that forest of thorns In remembrance of what lie beneath The dangers abounding, the horrors untold Cloud my vision, 'till I cannot see Peculiar enchantments begin to unfold And the Underworld calls back to me As the light grows dimmer and fades... Cross that river now, Make our way beyond the gates Release from our confinement Together, we'll find it The trail is fraught with perils, And yet, we don't mind it But looking towards horizons reminding me of then Can't repent Though I've hardly been spent A journey downward toward somewhere new, yet familiar I'm learning how to stand For the smile I swear to defend Till the end As we further descend, then Shall we go? To be swallowed fates below A moment in history, a flicker in time A mystery I still can't break through Im deathly defiant of crossing that line, I don't want to break down before you… Reach downward to glory, yet upward- what for? An ouroboros of earthly desire Devouring my tale just to tell it once more Am I still the gold statue you admire? Collecting all the stories we've enjoyed And reflecting on the thorns that near destroyed me I sang about a journey's end, and now we come upon Another one The sun setting earlier than believed From this point downward, I cannot return For the final dream I sought is so close yet far within my reach Though I'd like it to be known This I made on my own Release from our confinement Together, we'll find it The trail is fraught with perils, And maybe all is as it should be. I promise I'll still be me My mistakes Somehow made a good story great A journey downward toward somewhere new, yet familiar I'm learning how to stand For the smiles I swear to defend Till the end As we further descend, then Shall we go? Swallowed up by what waits below
