Witherfall - The Curse Of Autumn [The Best Power Metal Album]

Lyrics to The Curse Of Autumn [The Best Power Metal Album] by Witherfall

Tracklist: 01. Deliver Us Into The Arms Of Eternal Silence [Instrumental] 02. The Last Scar Wrapping my hands around your throat, so your empty words cannot escape Trapping inside forever deception and the lies that have sealed your fate And now you struggle to find your way out Hiding scars, "knowing her mouth is a tomb" Leaving behind the oppression of your mind Her shifting eyes no longer aggressive as the color drains from her face Leaving behind a life so pathetic I told you I would make you pay And through your anguish I find my way out Is this remorse? "Knowing she could seal your doom." Is it redemption to leave your lifeless... but still alive? I saw the light and it burned This is the last scar You've crossed the line and I'll make you learn I saw the light and it burned You've given your last scar I've suffered enough and now it's your turn Running through mazes of insanity the chaotic logic of the co-dependent I thought I had left you, thought I was rid of your curse And still I struggle, is there no way out? Am I condemned? "Knowing this house is my tomb" Would you forgive me if I just end it tonight? I saw the light and it burned This is the last scar You've crossed the line and I'll make you learn I saw the light and it burned You've given your last scar I've suffered enough and now it's your turn Lying in a pool of crimson starlight Glimmers from above upon my head The past comes rushing in I will not let the terrors in... I give myself to you upon this altar I saw the light and it burned This is the last scar You've crossed the line and I'll make you learn I saw the light and it burned You've given your last scar I've suffered enough and now it's your turn It's the last scar 03. As I Lie Awake As I Lie Awake Falling feels just like flying All my pain melts away The illusions of my perception Are left chained to yesterday Every second that I forget to fall Every vision seems unreal I open my eyes to face the world alone What have we done, how has it come to this? Every second feels just like eternity And now it's done, everything fades to grey and dies And we're alone... A rapture of water I'm drowning in fear The tide can't wash over our sins They gave us an altar without any faith And I question as I lie awake. Now my life laid out before me Left to face another day Turning on my past reflections Every corner looks just the same Every moment that I fail to recall My past now fades away I open my eyes and know that I'm alone 04. Another Face You're not who you say you are There's something strange about the way you stare The pain's so far behind us now We've given it up still we don't know how Is this goodbye now? Is this not quite what you had dreamed? When I looked in the shadows all I could see Was the fading light of my unfinished dreams How have I come so far too till feel so far away? "Is there another face?" So, I try not to listen to their stifled screams The reflections tend to be now what they seem Maybe I'll just forget and hope they all die away... "Is there another face?" The pain hits like an opiate My past just slips away in a haze, frame by frame Is this really all that's left of me I pick up the pieces, still I can't see "Who will survive now?" And I'm not sure how they all fit When I looked in the shadows all I could see Was the fading light of my unfinished dreams How have I come so far too till feel so far away? "Is there another face?" So, I try not to listen to their stifled screams The reflections tend to be now what they seem Maybe I'll just forget and hope they all die away... "Is there another face?" In asking ourselves questions to which the answers may surprises In multiple iterations come revelations that may bind us The consequence follow us to the end of time Thought it may be a bit confusing which sin is yours, and which is mine Waiting, on the edge of a storm All the signs point to nothing They won't carry us home Waiting, on the edge of a storm All the signs point to nothing They won't carry us home Waiting, in the edge of a storm And the tempest is coming And we'll face it alone Waiting, on the edge of a storm All the signs point to nothing They won't carry us home 05. Tempest In time, you will bend to my will and you'll know All the reasons for your bleak existence Though it's taken so long just to sell, you've been lost in me Suffering through all the perils that I lay before you There's nowhere left for you to turn Now close your eyes and embrace this illusion While you burn Your penance, is to follow me into these shadows Never knowing if you will return And our fathers lie dormant in sorrow, as the fears flow deep Who says martyrs never learn? Now it's all you can do bur surrender, while the vortex turns When the storm comes rushing in, and there's nowhere left to turn In the eye, will show the truth that We've yet to learn When there's no one left to blame, and now all your will is gone You'll look back and you will see, where you went wrong This is now the final hour, a tempest looms over our empty decaying lives There's no way to stop the coming wave Our star has descended, horizons now slipping away When the storm comes rushing in, and there's nowhere left to turn In the eye, will show the truth that We've yet to learn When there's no one left to blame, and now all your will is gone You'll look back and you will see, where you went wrong In the low dimming light Slowly fading to night Though our prison was only a dream Only after it's over we see What does this wandering storm have in store? 06. Curse Of Autumn If the truth isn't sacred, why are we afraid? Have we all been missed by our dreams? And if our prayers go unanswered, who are we to blame? As our seasons pass by like the wind We fall like withering leaves, leaving nothing but a world that is broken And maybe someday we'll all forget who we are Allowing ourselves a future reborn Is our indifference to forget why we're here? Bringing on the curse of autumn 07. The Unyielding Grip Of Each Passing Day [Instrumental] 08. The Other Side Of Fear My heart is racing, I cannot feel my arms This world that I have built it all comes crashing to the ground I'm frozen, I'm frozen I am descending, the mirror has me now Death would be much easier than to bear this veil of stone I'm broken, I'm broken I'm falling through shadows They follow me close behind I wander through this nightmare Til' I reach the other side The other side of fear The floor is shaking, I'm losing all control My senses are oblivious to everything around It's fading, it's fading And I am empty, there's nothing left of me Can it be I'll never come to see the other side? It's over, it's over I'm falling through shadows They follow me close behind I wander through this nightmare Til' I reach the other side The other side of fear Bearing witness to this entity That hovers up above Regardless, of what we do to justify our fear And all the little pills We take, in the hope he'll go away Sinking further into misery I'm falling through shadows They follow me close behind I wander through this nightmare Til' I reach the other side The other side of fear 09. The River Alone and forgotten Waiting on the answers from father time The silence seems empty It screams from the past and the broken lines Take me to the River Kneel upon the shore Cast me into eternity Let the wind take me through the door The wind has abandoned Our sails touch the water, it ebbs and flows It carries us further From our destination to distant shores Take me to the River Kneel upon the shore Cast me into eternity Let the wind take me through the door 10. ...And They All Blew Away The final line, lies between what was said It tells me what to fear Descending through the emptiness All the while on borrowed time Lies are streaming through my head And nothing can stop the culling... For the last time you have failed me I'll keep my cards just out of reach And for every empty sacrifice Or promise you won't keep I lay it all out on the table You leave me hanging on the line Here's to every wasted hour waiting Here on borrowed time and I know... I don't know, I... And now the course laid out before me No more promises to keep It doesn't matter if in the end It doesn't justify the means And now our trust in penance fading We put our faith in hollow lies Again, with every wasted hour waiting here on borrowed time And I know... I don't know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay You just came through Spinning your web of lies but I know... Chorus In the wind, and through the rain We can find ourselves a path to follow Even those uninvited get to stay... And in the end we ride the storm And there is no one immune to sorrow Like every star up above will surely fade... ...And they all blew away Descending into the hallowed halls of disillusion Pretending it's not your time, for you to persuade Giving into temptation, lies and your confusion Answers we thought made us free Turned us into slaves... "and it cycles on and on... unfolding with the wind" Man's greed has given way to this We find ourselves with our backs to the wall and And I know... I don't know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay You just came through Spinning your web of lies but I know... Chorus In the wind, and through the rain We can find ourselves a path to follow Even those uninvited get to stay... And in the end we ride the storm And there is no one immune to sorrow Like every star up above will surely fade... ...And they all blew away Crossing over We ascend to embrace the coming curse Descending, precision No one can hide from the inverse The chosen give the sign Let the virus spread Wake up, it's not a dream anymore The things that we once took for granted Now lay dying on the floor This is not what we wanted from this This is not what you wanted to say Now that I've had some time To find myself a little inspiration It isn't like we had a choice Was this all pointless insulation "From ripping and clawing sycophants" Too weak to show their faces We cast them off into oblivion Let the tide of indifference eradicate the weak Drown our enemies in silence "We drown our enemies in silence" And I know... I don't know, I should've done more to keep them all at bay You just came through Spinning your web of lies but I know... Chorus In the wind, and through the rain We can find ourselves a path to follow Even those uninvited get to stay... And in the end we ride the storm And there is no one immune to sorrow Like every star up above will surely fade... ...And they all blew away 11. Long Time [Acoustic version] 12. ... And They All Blew Away
