Dark World Burden Lyrics - Novembers Doom

It's all so clear to me now 

A fraction of the man I used to be 

For every breath I take draws in the fear 

Only I know that the worst is yet to come 

I live in a dark world, where no light shines through 

I carry this burden with every step I take 

Thrust myself into a new days end 

And focus on the hour glass, to help pass the time 

Day to day I push myself on 

My facade can fool the strongest mind 

And my loved ones can only watch from afar 

A single mirror to view the void 

Tragic yesterdays, and unseen futures sleep 

Footprints in the blood from my wounded heart 

My dark world is where I call home 

Until the day comes, and the light calls my name 

My arcane cell is covered in resent 

I never asked for any of this 

I follow the path which leads me to nothing 

Searching for my smile I lost long ago 

I stand alone in the company of none 

Cheated by reality, philosopher of the gray 

A brave inner child stands strong in refuse 

A treasure of impurity will find a way to breed
