Lyrics by Jouni Koskela (September 2013)
So now enough time has passed
for me to understand the gravity of this treachery
I must submit myself to admit defeat
transpire my travesties and take the fall
Revoke no reason and plead guilty
Instantiate humility by claiming the loss
At loss for words to console myself
From here on out it will only get worse
To seek solace among throes of this harrowing woe
Poses a fallacy upon the throne of moral code
The guilt trip of this kind although justified
Mutilates the mind without the help of psychic aid
Awaken symbols of defeat
While acknowledging the obvious flaws
in the patterns of my thought process
One must account the paradigms
that are my sanctuary from the helplessness
Even though I've truly earned this hell I'm in,
the self-preserving qualities take the best of me:
waving flags of retreat inscribed with symbols of accepting defeat,
loss and bereavement
[Keyboard Solo by Panu Rauhala]
[Guitar Solo by Jouni Koskela]
But as it now seems unraveling my intimacy
evokes a feeling of being undeserving of release
Awaken symbols of defeat
While acknowledging the obvious flaws
in the patterns of my thought process
One must account the paradigms
that are my sanctuary from the helplessness
Even though I've truly earned this hell I'm in,
the self-preserving qualities take the best of me:
waving flags of retreat inscribed with symbols of accepting defeat,
loss and bereavement
Here I am
where regret paves way only for the terrors
emerging from within the very confinements of who I am
