Constant

Constant

I am, I am the dream you do not wake from
The home for forgotten souls
The fertile ground beneath your toes
The promise of stolen tomorrows
The sorrowful chorus bleeding through cracked walls
The father of fear, through me you've all shed a tear

I am, I am the giver of freedom I seek not to enslave
The one who won't forget you like your lover did
A permanent release, I'll take you to your peaceful slumber
The light beyond the tunnel when all hope is lost
Cries to my name echo from coast to coast
For hearts lay in peaces of my feats I shall not boast

I am, I am the one who makes all feel real
The bringer of meaning to life from beginning to end
The constant reminder that history is built on fallen dreams
The one who brought you to your god, yet you are terrified to meet my gaze.

I am the reality that haunts your thoughts
The unshakeable feeling that all will be lost
You fear me though you've yet to see my face
I lurk in the shadows outside time and space
You resent me , to you I represent the end of days.
I am the one with open arms yet I'm always met with cold embrace

I am not your enemy we are all bound by fate
I am , I am forever, and these words you can never dare to say.
