From the Netherworld - Euphoreon

Craving for more we deny our inner greed

A lifetime condemned to slavery

Starving salvation, treachery

My thoughts are clouded on the path to

Insanity drives us to deeds we would never dream

Tears apart the very essence of our being

We’ll travel paths unknown

Wander fields of gold

Is this what we desire tonight?

In the black and cold, we are light

Through skyline’s so frail, we shine

Freezing winds blow stronger

Our withering hope is over

I dream my life away

What I’ve seen belies reality

This world is too vain

I wish to leave it all behind

Nothing more remains undreamed

Will we escape this hell of ours

Dreaming of the Netherworld

I close my eyes and see

A world without meaning

You can’t save me now

Let me go, I’m drowning

The higher we climb the further we fall

Promised lands have failed us all

Burdens hanging around my neck

We’re following a blind deceiver

Endless trails lead us round and down again

We grow weary of this numb existence

Resenting the games we’re forced to play

Struggling for our own identity

We must obey and conquer (as we fall)

As we fall so ever deeper (where to go)

Where have we left to go?

What more can’t we control?

Is this the end of the world we know

The dawn of an age to come so cold

With pure hatred, we cross the line

We will never return

I dream my life away

What I’ve seen belies reality

This world is too vain

I wish to leave it all behind

Heading for a world undreamed

Finally escape this hell of ours

Now I see the Netherworld

We gave our lives to see

The world inside our dreams

Now this dream will end

A dying light

The harder we tried the further we fell into strife

Into cauldrons black as night

It burned me inside, and swallowed all of my time

It burned me inside, and ruined all I desire
