Here you can find the lyrics for the Soliloquium EP “The Concept of Escape”, featuring three songs: “Crossroads”, “Remnants of Dying Dreams” and “Nighttime Revelations”.
Crossroads
Rampant are the storms
Devious, these seas
These forces we try to master
Constant weakness to evade
A strife against the inborn
Nature of defeat
Exposure to noxious elements
The roads we blindly tread
Solitary ruin
Befalls me
The dreaded steps
From abandoned dreams
Tired well
Repeating stream
The concept of escape
It seems
We soldier on
An unknown path
For passions and dreams
No one shares
What happens when legs grow weary?
When life’s crossroads are but woes to suffer?
When I’m enclosed in my own mind
The repeating echo of spinning thoughts
A reflection in the window, what’s there to see?
A pale face, veil for vacant crowd
A year of sorrows, here we stand
No companion but smoldering remnants of dying dreams
Remnants of Dying Dreams
Weathered by storms, dispossessed
Broken down and once again whole
Scars remain left, lucid ghosts of the past
Lessons in failure, wandering free
Distorted embers of a life once lived
The delusions of hope, the brinks of despair
Prosperous ambitions laid to rest
The mephitic curse of incapacity
Ghoul like silence
The distant sound of whispers
A sensation of shadows moving
Through these empty halls
Every new sensation
An expected burden, a repeating pattern
Steaming disappointments
A collection of crosses to bear
Remnants of my dying dreams
Monuments of burning atrophy
Remnants of my dying dreams
Triumphant times, nothing but a memory
Every twist, every turn of season
Bearing tragedy and woe
A destiny it seems
To seek and never find
Nighttime Revelations
Darkening, the dead of night
A distant shine of city lights
These barren halls echo empty
Sleep fails to come to my avail
Reanimate these tiring movements
An aimless masquerade
Limbs react reluctantly
Repeating events
Worn down roads
Familiar faces flock the pathways
An infernal design
Beneath the surface lingers
An idle sense of desperation
Procrastinations emerge
Days mold into one
Becomes a way of life
Machine like motions that fill the day
Sleep, a woeful concept
As nightmares plague the hours
Stare upon a ticking clock, a gloomy window
The silence of a sleeping world
Tomorrow’s turmoil infecting the night
A perpetual state of panic
These nighttime revelations
Abandoned dreams that haunt my sleep
Ever present consternation
Thoughts of past and future dread
These nighttime revelations
Abandoned dreams that haunt my sleep
Ever present consternation
Avid companion of night
Vacant eyes in clouded hibernation
Collision course with a vibrant world
Vexatious storms beyond the daily pace
The affliction of the outcast
Pervasive nothingness
Erupting, eroding
I wield and I havoc
I stab and I scream
As daylight arrives
A continuing search
For the ineffable
Concept of escape
