Become the Fear
Amiensus Lyrics

Burned and consumed, like ashen memories
Feeling defeated and destroyed, like memories reduced to ashes

Pale and undone, distant seems the world
Lost in a world that seems distant and unreal

Like freezing arctic wind, the blade of loss cuts through
Feeling the intense pain of loss, like a sharp, cold wind

To find myself again, I cannot comprehend
Unable to understand how to rediscover oneself

To walk this road, the path of desolation
Journeying through a path of loneliness and despair

Far from the sun, cold isolation
Feeling trapped and alone, without warmth or light

Abandoned here, in silent apathy
Feeling left behind, with no one to care

By all those, once so endeared
Betrayed and hurt by those who were once cherished

To understand, I must become the fear
Only by confronting and embracing fear can one truly understand it

To prevail, I must become the enemy
To overcome obstacles, one must be willing to fight against oneself

To reclaim dominion, surrender to defeat
To gain control, one must first accept defeat

To rise to elation, I must fall into despair
The path to happiness often requires a journey through hardship and suffering

Crushed by the weight of an impending failure I endeavor in vain toward the fading sun
Struggling under the pressure of failure, trying futilely to reach for hope

Paralyzed in this aphotic void My strength it is lost, in the absence of light
Feeling trapped in a dark, empty void, with no strength or hope

Before my eyes, as if frozen in time
Seeing everything as if it's stopped in time, unable to move forward

The rise and fall of everything once defined
Watching as everything that once gave meaning wavers and fades

To acquiesce to the arms of negation
Giving up and accepting defeat

Denial at once my comfort and my shame
Feeling both comforted and ashamed of denial

The dark that once seemed so false, so distant
Feeling lost in a darkness that once seemed far away and unreal

Now engulfs every aspect of my sight
The darkness has taken over, leaving nothing to see

The understanding lies entwined with all I fear I am the enemy,
Knowing that the true enemy lies within oneself

I am the light Accept that forever, is a mere perception
Realizing the potential for one's own light, and that the concept of forever is subjective

Relative to our own minds
Everything is relative to one's own perspective

Every moment elapsed is an eternity In the shadow of our fleeting time
In the grand scheme of things, each moment is both fleeting and eternal

Those once beloved, will fade to dust
Everything, even those once beloved, will eventually disappear

Nothing sacred, cannot be undone
Everything is subject to change and loss

To overcome is to embrace our fear
By facing our fears, we can overcome them

To forge ahead, and walk alone
Moving forward, even when one must do so alone

Reclaim desire, to see the unknown
Rediscovering the desire to explore and discover the unknown

Abandon time, erase eternity
Letting go of the need for control over time and eternity

Strength is attained by the fire of yearning
Desire and determination fuels strength and resilience

The path to acceptance is a journey without end
Accepting oneself and one's path is a never-ending process
