Lost in the Pages

Alone on a stormy night, reading away by candle light
Lost in the pages, of a tome he’s never read
Shadows dance out of the fading light, creeping closer with every word
As he reads on and on, from this world he slips away

Am I still awake?
How can I return?

Sorcerer of his undoing
Sorceress lost in time
Velvet steel, ungodly torment
Lightning bolt, thunder roars

Hellfire like a woman scorned
Bound in flesh & penned in blood
Evil words fall off of the tongue
Demon eyes cry out of the black

Break from a tyrants hold – Back
Before the after came – woah

Break free from a tyrants hold – Back
Before the after came – woah

In the misty luna light, his eyes are awash with nothingness
Dead to the real world, or more alive than he’s ever been
He travels the pages, curses his breath with every word
Searching for a way, a passage that will unlock the door

Am I still awake?
How can I return?

Sorcerer of his undoing
Sorceress lost in time
Velvet steel, ungodly torment
Lightning bolt, thunder roars

After the storm has cleared away, flames fade away with the night
Lying there in the rain, can’t even remember what he’s read
Is this life real to him? Or a fable scribed years before
He yearns for another read, again from this world he slips away

Sorcerer of his undoing
Sorceress lost in time
Velvet steel, ungodly torment
Lightning bolt, thunder roars

Hell fire like a woman scorned
Bound in flesh & penned in blood
Evil words fall off of the tongue
Demon eyes cry out of the black

Break free from a tyrants hold – Back
Before the after came – woah
