Fall Of Empyrean Behind Vacant Eyes Lyrics

Behind Vacant Eyes Lyrics

A decrepit man intently stares

At the now calm lifeless horizon

While most of his memories no longer exist

There is one never
fading



I was alive with youthful integrity

A cold december
night

Accosted my senses whisper of the wind

Shaped my reality

Took by surprise decayed pretenses

I deciphered the meaning

To
my advantage delivered false promises

Baited the trap

Deceptively
clever I engaged the victim

Gained pure conviction

With deceitful
lies I taught myself

To be abhorrent

Took admiration of helpless
thoughts

Sufferance was comfort

Like blankets in winter a cold
heart hidden

Misfortune always evident always there



Each day
a new veil hiding the past

Compassion had vanished

Leaving no trace
my newfound guile

Is my future

There is no shame when harm is
blind

Contemplate the unknown

Whose eternal rest would always
stir

A mind at ease

If only he knew his only victim

Was in
the mirror

They say self-reflection is good for the soul

And
cleanses the blood

But if your heart is oblivious To your grasp of
life

Then the gray shadows down at your feet

Fade into black and
vanish



Desolation unaware

As you look at yourself endure the
pain

See the fear deep in your eyes

As you hide behind a blank
disguise



A decrepit man intently stares at the now

Calm
lifeless horizon

While most of his memories no longer exist

There
is one never fading

You look in disbelief as you see your own life

With his tragedy

Hopeless destiny in your mind you cannot

Fight
what you soon will see

Your eyes shed the tears of blood

You can't
ever hide

When you see the visions behind vacant eyes
