Asylum
Art Lyrics

Life is deceiving while death is revealing
Life hides things from us while death uncovers and shows us truth.

The mystic forces in the soul
There are mysterious, spiritual powers within us.

Mind is receiving the certain dark feeling
Our mind can perceive negative emotions strongly.

The murderous sources of the ghoul
Our subconscious holds violent impulses or desires.

Life is the enemy while death is the sacred key
Living can be difficult, but death can offer answers and release from pain.

To absent sights that recall
Memories of things we've lost are always missing.

Dimensional tyranny enslavement in cruelty
Harsh, oppressive treatment can keep us stuck in certain ways of thinking or living.

In darkness one float or one fall
In the unknown, we can either become untethered or succumb to fear.

To the abyss' morbid enigmas
We are drawn to the mysteries and terrors of death and the unknown.

Far beyond the earthly grave
Death takes us beyond physical existence and our understanding of it.

Soul betakes to drift astray
Our spirit can become lost and ungrounded.

Infinite horizons of pale grey skies
The afterlife stretches out before us in an endless, colorless expanse.

A still born heart within there lies
Our heart feels dead or numb in the face of death or grief.

The sanctuary that once was lost
What we've lost or given up can never be fully regained.

Is streaming endlessly in holocaust
The pain or trauma of losing something stays with us forever.

The astral corpse is still pulsating
Even though we're dead, our spiritual essence still moves or vibrates.

In a mirage asylum awaiting
We're trapped in an illusory, uncertain place after death.

The final destination, the ultimate denomination
Death is the ultimate end or fate we all face.

In limbonic life I've slept
Before we die, we can feel stuck or lost in an uneasy state.

Dreamt that cryptic seals me kept
Our subconscious or fears can hold us back from living our full lives.

Sheltered from all visual sight
We can hide from the world or ourselves out of fear.

Cause shadows chased every sign of light
We're haunted by darkness or loss, keeping us from feeling hopeful or happy.

Awakened from an ancient slumber
We can be roused from a state of emotional or mental stasis.

Recalled to act of strife
We're called upon to fight and struggle in life.

My spirit old and my body cold
Our spirit can feel worn down and tired, while our body feels lifeless and empty.

Remains in dark demise
Our body will eventually turn to dust, returning to darkness.

Immortally beloved am I to dying
My connection to dying will always remain.

And the whispering of secrets to my soul
Even in death, I may be privy to unknown truths.

I am born to sing this sorrow
It's my purpose to express and explore sadness and grief.

Evil has no rest in me
Negativity or malevolence can't find peace in my spirit.

The invisible addiction of darkness, emptiness
Our internal struggles with pain or loss can become all-consuming.

And the ghastly silence... devours
Silence and emptiness can be overwhelming and scary.

Cut the string the chain to soil
We need to break free from whatever is keeping us shackled or bound.

Unleash to powers within deaths coil
We have to release the things holding us back in order to truly live.

No darker emotion is there to find
There's nothing more despairing or sorrowful than personal pain and loss.

Than the fading feeling of a dying kind
The sadness of losing someone or something that can never be regained.

In the light of my personal sacrifice
My struggles and hardships make me stronger and more resilient.

In the shine from the ruins I testify
What's left when everything is broken is proof of what we've been through.

Far more savage the spiritual vulture
The pain and darkness within ourselves can be far more vicious than external threats.

In the light of my personal sacrifice
My pain and suffering give my life meaning and purpose.

In the shine from the ruins I sanctify
The pain and loss in my life have given me strength and wisdom.

Unto the valley of the shadows of death
We're all headed towards death, and may face dark or scary times along the way.
