Rise, or be Forever Fall'n Lyrics

Gripped between, the shadowless abyss

And the blinding light of dead ideals

I am the fire within the circle

My acrid smoke mars a barren sky with ash

As I stumble amongst the desolate rocks

On the bleak shores of purgatory

I crawl from the sulphurous maw

Scrambling up the charred slopes of perdition

Where nameless beasts subsist on dreams

Abandoned in exchange for comfort

The path strewn with grinning corpses

Convinced they never wanted to reach the summit

A gaze at a tempestuous sky

Never to see another sunrise

The death of divine boundaries

As the abstractions of my mortality dissolve

Before bloodshot eyes, that have witnessed loss

Unnatural light strains through clouds of smoke

To illuminate the pits below

Memories of the fires drive me ever higher

Rise or be forever Fall'n

I shall melt your gilded cage

In implacable fires of retribution

And with it, forge a spear

To pierce the heart of comfort

Cracked skin meets stone

Bones ache under the strain

The boulder summits once more

I have been here before

Even as I fall back to the abyss from whence I came

I ready my Self to ascend once more

The climb never ends
