"Shroud Of Lethe" lyrics - KHEMMIS

Broken lights hide the past I push away
Still I lie in the wreckage, fragments tearing my skin
Into the scars that I betray
It betrays us all

Why should I atone and wash away the pain?
I can't trust the memories leading me astray
Still I hold on to what I know are lies
Written in stone

Draped in shame, wandering back through my life
Where I died, we were unmade
'Til I find a light
Golden fire that gleams through the haze
Innocence lost that I reclaim

How can I atone and wash away the pain?
I can't trust the memories leading me astray
Still I hold on to what I know are lies
Written in stone

Digging in the snow
And my hands are frostbitten and raw
No longer cold
Locked in a crystalline tomb of memory
Agony and verity

When will it come for me?
Take this token of sincere apology
Words unspoken so I sing their melody
The loss became a song of life
