In Absentia Lyrics - The Path Of Sorrows - Christian Death

R. Williams 

I have etched the scrolls into my skin 

The hangman's noose, 13 lies which cross the barrier/burial 

There is a sin not yet commited 

O, he of sleepless flight - be merciful. 

I have found myself lost amongst the shards 

of a world reduced to shadow 

Sentenced to a lifetime in this prison 

Well, I should have taken this omen and ran 

Abandoned myself to secret corners 

Instead I turned to face the day 

Treading through the storm of the horror 

And decay 

How could I be so blinded 

Cut down and so misguided? 

Caught in deception, in deception 

O, he of splintered sight - be merciful 

For I know not what I do 

I walk the road that leads to an early grave 

As tears stream down my rigid face 

Well, I should keep one eye turned towards heaven 

As I drag my body through the flames 

Instead I turned to face the day 

Fighting with the demons I have made 

Spilled all my hope along the way 

It falls out, it falls dead 

Shattered fragments, endless waves 

O, he of sleepless nights - be merciful 

I have found myself lost amongst the shards 

If only I had severed ties, 

Ties that bind all my dreams to lies 

I could have walked away from it all 

I could have walked away from it all 

And found that peace waits in absentia
