[a. Daughter of Silence]
Abraded spirit left on edge
Afflicted to relieve ennui
Abandoned to the elements
Ravaged
Daughter of silence
Bound in silver strands since nascence
Each year forging another link in the chain of life
Some stay pure while others
Become tarnished over time
Tempest inside a cracked vessel
Token of a shattered visage
Telic rage in hidden vestige
Awakened
Daughter of silence
Bound in silver strands since nascence
Each year forging another link in the chain of life
Some stay pure while others
Become tarnished over time
Innocence reclaimed removes the human stain
Of entities ingrained all purity profaned
Daughter of silence
Bound in silver strands since nascence
Each year forging another link in the chain of life
Some stay pure while others
Become tarnished over time
She hears your words
Knows them for lies
So she remains selectively silent
[b. Daughter of Denial]
Fear at freedom's last threshold
Fever visions of tomorrows
False bright dreams of transformation
Untenable
Somewhere inside a quiet strength resides
Quiescently awaiting a spark of life long denied
Pushed beyond the point of breaking
Pressed in lightless places blind
Palpable terror becoming
Unbearable
Somewhere inside a quiet strength resides
Quiescently awaiting a spark of life long denied
Innocence reclaimed removes the human stain
Of entities ingrained all purity profaned
Daughter of denial
Daughter of denial
Watching shadows on the wall shift
Waiting for footfalls on the stairs
Wanting to fade away somehow
Untouchable
Somewhere inside a quiet strength resides
Quiescently awaiting a spark of life long denied
She hears your words
Knows them for lies
Yet she remains selectively silent
Daughter of denial
[c. Mother of Deception]
[Instrumental]
[d. Father of Condemnation]
Drawn in then drawn down
Where light can't burn away the tarnish
Burn it away
Tattered shards of spirit self
Binding her to nothingness
Fading into shadow
Cursed among the damned
Aftermath in afterimage
When evil stirs within secure wall's confines
Sorrows cast shadows unbroken
More than meets a blind eye
Innocence reclaimed removes the human stain
Of entities ingrained all purity profaned
Afterthought's aftereffect
When fear responds again recurs hell refined
Lost soul left hallow and made then
Withered ghost denied
Drawn in then drawn down
Where light can't burn away the tarnish
Burn it away
Tattered shards of spirit self
Binding her to nothingness
Fading into shadow
Cursed among the damned
One hand to hold her down
Disassociate
But none to keep her here
Disconnect
Shackled to empty spaces
A vessel of anger
Innocence reclaimed removes the human stain
Of entities ingrained all purity profaned
Drawn in then drawn down
Where light can't burn away the tarnish
Burn it away
Tattered shards of spirit self
Binding her to nothingness
Fading into shadow
Cursed among the damned
She hears your words
Knows them for lies
Yet she remains selectively silent
