Of One Blood by Shadows Fall - Album Lyrics & Tracks

[Verse 1]

As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight

This is my escape

Realization of my mind's own deceit

Perception slips away

 

[Instrumental break]

 

[Verse 2]

Lulled into a fool's paradise

Words mislead again

The agony of imaginary sins and fears

Truth of suffering

 

[Instrumental break]

 

[Chorus]

Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)

Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)

 

[Verse 3]

Disintegration of the ego with this mind creates

False idea of self

The cessation of continuity and becoming

True enlightenment

 

 

[Instrumental break]

 

[Chorus]

Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)

Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)

Someone free me from heaven torn asunder

Full of empty promises to be there if I wonder

(Alone and wandering)

 

[Bridge]

Will not remain enslaved

This world's transparency

I see right through

I walk alone

 

[Guitar solo]

 

[Verse 1]

As reality washes away the faded memories of daylight

This is my escape

Realization of my mind's own deceit

Perception slips away

 

[Instrumental break]

 

[Chorus]

Buried dreams that shadow me, I feel it's all been wasted (Dreams that shatter me)

Break my dreams to free my soul because I won't even notice (Dreams to free my soul)

Someone free me from heaven torn asunder

Full of empty promises to be there if I wonder

(Alone and wandering)

 

 

[Outro]

Extinction of thirst

Extinction of hatred

Extinction of desire

Extinction of illusion

This is absolute

4 ContributorsRevel in My Loss LyricsCan I prevent this loss and pain to hasten my release

Or am I damned to existence alone

Sear me child, let this pain set me free again

With broken promise, never know what this life could bring

And the time spent alone sorting through emotions

Is a blessing that I know I cannot repay

 

With only words I can't express my deep regret

Of time gone by and of feelings that I'll never know

Pain believed but never shared has left me damaged here

My wounds will bleed anew, I am now exposed

 

Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me

Holds me tight in crushed embrace

Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear

Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me

Hold me tight is crushed embrace

Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear

 

Revel in my loss

Revel in my loss

Revel in my loss

Revel in my loss

 

Sear me child, let this pain set me free again

With broken promise, never know what this life could bring

And the time spent alone sorting alone through emotions

Is a blessing that I know I cannot repay

 

 

Revel in my loss

Revel in my loss

Revel in my loss

Revel in my loss

 

Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me

Holds me tight in crushed embrace

Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear

Reaching out, reaching in the pain that grips me

Holds me tight in crushed embrace

Holding out, holding out, try to protect from what I fear

 

The end draws light with this pressure

Lacerations upon you relieve yourself

 

Pain that grips me

[Verse 1]

Toppling building blocks

At the base of all mankind

Redirection of evolution

Electromagnetic control of the mind

 

[Refrain]

Arising from technology

Creation, new entity

Mankind, forever be

Bound, and gagged

 

[Verse 2]

A new breed of control

Manipulation of space and time

Warped perception dictating action

Sick delusion they're divine

 

[Refrain]

Arising from technology

Creation, a new entity

Mankind, forever be

Bound, and gagged

 

[Chorus]

Mechanically possessed, placed under control

They keep us marching

Mechanically possessed, placed under control

They keep us marching

 

 

[Verse 3]

A conspiracy unwinds

As the government denies

Lost children pay the price

Suffocated by their lies

 

[Refrain]

Arising from technology

Creation, a new entity

Mankind forever be

Bound, and gagged

 

[Verse 1]

Toppling the building blocks

At the base of all mankind

Redirection of evolution

Electromagnetic control of the mind

 

[Refrain]

Arising from technology

Creation, a new entity

Mankind, forever be

Bound, and gagged

 

[Chorus]

Mechanically possessed, placed under control

They keep us marching

Mechanically possessed, placed under control

They keep us marching

 

 

[Guitar solo]

 

[Bridge]

What did they hope to find

What did they hope to gain

What did they hope to find

And what has become

 

[Outro]

They keep us bound and gagged

[Verse 1]

Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp

Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands

 

[Chorus]

Gray skies have been broken

(I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)

Cold eyes softly spoken

(Your face forever etched in my mind)

 

[Verse 2]

Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side

Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside

 

[Chorus]

Gray skies have been broken

(I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)

Cold eyes softly spoken

(Your face forever etched in my mind)

 

[Verse 3]

You speak to me in rhythm and it waves across the water

You speak to me in ways that I don't understand

Deep inside I hear every word every way

And after all is lost there is nothing left inside of me

 

 

[Interlude]

I long for your touch

How I need to breathe your breath again

Deep inside me I know I'm alone

How I cherish your persuasive warmth

This is not what I want life to be

(There is no way I can stop this now)

And there's nothing left inside of me

 

I long for your touch

How I need to breathe your breath again

Deep inside me I know I'm alone

How I cherish your persuasive warmth

This is not what I want life to be

(There is no way I can stop this now)

And there's nothing left inside of me

 

[Instrumental break]

 

[Verse 1]

Why, I've found perfection now it slips through my grasp

Child, you touch me now as life flows through my hands

 

[Chorus]

Gray skies have been broken

(I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)

Cold eyes softly spoken

(Your face forever etched in my mind)

 

 

[Verse 2]

Love, I'll get through this if you stand at my side

Alone, this fear across me it shall never subside

 

[Chorus]

Gray skies have been broken

(I'll never see the warmth of your eyes)

Cold eyes softly spoken

(Your face forever etched in my mind)

Endlessly unfallen words I cannot replace

 

[Post-Chorus]

Don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again

But I long to be your servant once more

By the morning light I'll have breathed my last

I implore you, don't forget my love

 

[Guitar solo]

 

[Outro]

Don't cry my love, I believe that I won't fail you again

But I long to be your servant once more

By the morning light I'll have breathed my last

I implore you, don't forget
