1.	A peaceful corner in a dreadful place 05:58	lyrics	buy track
Ashes fall like snow on stone The silence haunts this place alone Ruins hum their ghostly praise Still I rest in this darkened maze A peaceful rot a breathless grace In the hollow heart of a cursed place While all around me time decays No light remains in this dreadful place No path returns no voices call But in this ruin I feel no fall The end is slow and gently kind This corner eats what's left of mind The walls are soaked in silent screams This corner hides from darker dreams Where death has kissed the air to sleep I sit where shadows do not weep A peaceful corner in a dreadful place Where time forgets but knows my name No sun to warm this heavy air Just shadows kneeling into prayer Yet something kind survives the fall A breath a thought a thread so small The walls are cracked the ceilings cry A thousand ghosts go drifting by But in this corner dim and still I feel a hush the world can't kill A peaceful corner in a dreadful place where time stands still in splendid grace
2.	Apocalypse inside 04:54	lyrics	buy track
A choir of voices they sing in my head They wear my face and they steal my tongue I taste the void it fills my lungs Black veins crawling I'm coming undone I slit my soul to watch it bleed But nothings left inside of me There's a war that lives inside my head Not one minute do I get to rest Bury me deep my war is done Apocalypse Inside I cannot hide My time has come I'm the broken one Every promise has turned to dust Every hope has turned to rust Every word has come undone
3.	Oceans of absence 04:27	lyrics	buy track
A thousand miles of empty blue Still searching for a glimpse of you Oceans of absence endless and wide No light house to guide me tonight I called your name into the night but all I heard was the fading tide Save me as I trace the stars The currents take me far from your light The waters freeze I'm lost in your sea Would you rescue me or let me fade deep I called your name in to the night But all I heard was the fading tide The moon pulls me further away From the shore where we used to stay Parched with thirst I slowly drown In this ocean where ghosts are found
4.	Through the ephemeral glow 04:18	lyrics	buy track
The sun spills gold on city streets A fleeting warmth a soft reprieve Like a whispered promise so bittersweet In the moment that we all believe Through the ephemeral glow we chase A memory that we can't replace The moments pass like falling leaves And all our hearts in silence grieve For what we lost before it's gone A fragile temporary dawn We hold the light and we watch it fade In the quiet sorrow we have made We build our castles out of ancient sand And watch it crumble from our withered hands We etch our names upon the stone And watch them weather all alone The clock ticks out a gentle chime A measurement of borrowed time And every breath a fragile thing A fading echo of a song we sing Through the ephemeral glow

7.	Hopes funeral 05:25	lyrics	buy track
The last petal has fallen a whisper of red A cold stone where my last dreams bled The promises hang like dust in the air Reminders of dreams that were never there No tears to cry no breath to sigh For all the wishes are buried inside Dig a grave deep and wide So broken promises can fit inside The air is thick with the scents of goodbyes Reflected in the glassy stare of my vacant eyes Born of light but couldn't survive the endless night The story's over the final verse and I'm left here with the universe Just silence now and a chilling breeze Blowing through the skeletal trees Hopes funeral a lonely affair Nothing left but the cold thin air
