Assemblage 23 Purgatory Lyrics

Purgatory Lyrics

So here I stand

Completely alone

My skin absorbs the rain



Helpless to control

Pieces within the whole

I can feel it
starting again



A sudden descent

I never ment 

To
manifest itself



Caught unaware

In frozen air

By
visions sent in stealth



How far I've fallen

Dancing in the
ruins of Purgatory

My time is borrowed

But still I waste away



I have seen your eyes 

Search desperate skies

For
meanings they can't find



Succumbed to Fate's 

Unsteady
gait

And found it too unkind



Plunge through the depths

Of what you let

Controlled you for too long



Life's fickle
hand

Delt reprimands

You prayed for all along



How far
you've fallen

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory

Your time is
borrowed

But still you waste away



Watch the world pass

Through broken glass

And wonder what went wrong



Monuments
fall

On shattered walls

We once believed were strong



Our false beliefs

Are merely thieves

That steal our precious
time



And off they flee

In symmetry

Never punished for
their crimes



How far we've fallen

Dancing in the ruins of
Purgatory

Our time is borrowed

But still we waste away
