Behind Vacant Eyes Lyrics - Singles - Fall Of Empyrean

A decrepit man intently stares 

At the now calm lifeless horizon 

While most of his memories no longer exist 

There is one never fading 

I was alive with youthful integrity 

A cold december night 

Accosted my senses whisper of the wind 

Shaped my reality 

Took by surprise decayed pretenses 

I deciphered the meaning 

To my advantage delivered false promises 

Baited the trap 

Deceptively clever I engaged the victim 

Gained pure conviction 

With deceitful lies I taught myself 

To be abhorrent 

Took admiration of helpless thoughts 

Sufferance was comfort 

Like blankets in winter a cold heart hidden 

Misfortune always evident always there 

Each day a new veil hiding the past 

Compassion had vanished 

Leaving no trace my newfound guile 

Is my future 

There is no shame when harm is blind 

Contemplate the unknown 

Whose eternal rest would always stir 

A mind at ease 

If only he knew his only victim 

Was in the mirror 

They say self-reflection is good for the soul 

And cleanses the blood 

But if your heart is oblivious To your grasp of life 

Then the gray shadows down at your feet 

Fade into black and vanish 

Desolation unaware 

As you look at yourself endure the pain 

See the fear deep in your eyes 

As you hide behind a blank disguise
