The Cage of Eternity

from Tales of Anemos by Ephemeral Ballads

/

lyrics

Broken and torn, a long and sleepless night
Waiting for the warmth from a slither of the light
Never waving, a stone-like existence
Wondering what will be on the other side of life
If you stop and stare for a while you’ll see that the light’s name is hope

As the nights pass, my world crumbles
Two glittering pearls, a flickering flame
Do I struggle or cry, or let out my voice?
But where will that voice reach to?

As I struggle and scrape at the resolve inside
The chains tighten around my neck
Oh, why does this world punish us?

The one that they took away
from within my warm embrace
Do you remember the days we
spent together long ago?

As the days pass, my world crumbles
Should I just lament in sorrow and pain?
Do I struggle or cry, or reach out my hand?
But where will that hand reach to?

It’s the loneliness that frightens me more than anything inside this gloomy cage
But when I met you for the first time we made a promise to break these chains
Oh why does this world punish us?
