Purgatory Lyrics - Assemblage 23

So here I stand 

Completely alone 

My skin absorbs the rain 

Helpless to control 

Pieces within the whole 

I can feel it starting again 

A sudden descent 

I never meant 

To manifest itself 

Caught unaware 

In frozen air 

By visions sent in stealth 

How far I've fallen 

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory 

My time is borrowed 

But still I waste away 

I've seen your eyes 

Search desperate skies 

For meaning they can't find 

Succumbed to fate's 

Unsteady gait 

And found it too unkind 

Plunge through the depths 

Of what you let 

Control you for too long 

Life's fickle hand 

Dealt reprimands 

You prayed for all along 

How far you've fallen 

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory 

Your time is borrowed 

But still you waste away 

Watch the world pass 

Through broken glass 

And wonder what went wrong 

Monuments fall 

On shattered walls 

We once thought were so strong 

Our false beliefs 

Are merely thieves 

That steal our precious time 

And off they flee 

In symmetry 

Never punished for their crimes 

How far we've fallen 

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory 

Our time is borrowed 

But still we waste away
