Dark Parade

The silent echoes fill my head Beyond the living, past the dead The siren song I always hear L'appel du vide, unbroken fear

From long ago the voices call Before the lash, before the fall A requiem of where we've been Endless lies and boundless sin

As we join the dark parade of broken dead Is this Hell on Earth or in my head?

The faded glow of darkened skies Shattered dreams and last goodbyes The deadly gleam behind the tomb The call of death, the call of doom

As we join the dark parade of broken dead Is this Hell on Earth or only in my head?

Nothing ever changes, the tears we cry in vain No rift between our nightmares And daylight's cold remains The neverending payment For the choices that we've made A suicide of reason as we join that dark parade
