Oliver - Ephesus

He was the first born child, sweet and mild
Ever luminescent
But in time he grew distant, in an instant
His love had grown stagnant
He walked through empty town streets
Calling out cheats
Despite his own pitfalls
He felt so empty inside
His spirit cried
Didn’t hear its call.

Lost his love, losing his mind
Call out or be left behind
Lost his heart, within the crime
Reason without rhyme
Lost his love, losing his mind
Call out or be left behind
Lost his heart, within the crime
Reason without rhyme

Blame and judgment just dirty tricks whispered in your ear
False emotions set in motion by this nagging fear
Desperation cross the nation backed into the wall
This hysteria within us all

Hurt and despair just a nightmare swimming in your head
Broken feelings on the ceiling crawling in your bed
Not acquired just too tired cannot seem to mend
Will he still be standing in the end?

He’s breaking apart.
Stop before it starts.

He was so lost, not yet found, on sacred ground
He fell down to his knees
He walked on despite hardship can’t get his grip:
Such hypocrisies
Knew it was less a rapture more armature
His choice left a black stain
Beg forgiveness for this sickness
Slowly drove insane

Lost his love, losing his mind
Call out or be left behind
Lost his heart, within the crime
Reason without rhyme
Lost his love, losing his mind
Call out or be left behind
Lost his heart, within the crime
Reason without rhyme
Once he seemed to have it all
Just how far did he fall?
Retribution execution
answering his call
Such a liar spitting fire
Covering his tracks
Will he be prepared for the attacks?

Such an easy remedy but is it just too late?
Must be stronger, hold out longer
He can change his fate
Vanity insanity still tries to hold him back
Trying not to fade into the black.

Can you truly not remember?
How far have you really fallen?
Dear Ephesus, look at yourself.
What have you let yourself become?

Ephisi qui eligere memento pri amore. Ephisi qui eligere. Ave.
