lyrics

My trail paves a narrow road
lit by moments that fade with each step
but before me hangs the curtain
wreathing panic round my neck
Every memory reflecting a shard of sight
As the call of the past meets my present
The formless features of annihilation
Holding me to the abyss
It’s the blinding reminder of the time you’re erasing
We’ve figured it all out, it’s the time you’ve been wasting
And I am encased in cold and grey
But we will become luminous
When surrounded in darkness
We seek out distant lights
and the safety we presume it provides.
This desire to stray is a game of the mind.
A breeze rolls by you
you feel the fire beside you flicker out.
Now with your world at its darkest
(darkness descends on us)
you sense danger and seek a way to gain relief
(Give me release)
Curiously you tremble
as you push toward the warmth that pierces the uncertainty
Exchanging the reflections of who I am
A fortification, an iron will mind
give me the strength i need to open my eyes
within the black of the deep
ignite a spark to show me the road
cos I've fallen asleep at the wheel
a bitter man with a heart set to heal
give me the strength to survive
I pledge these changes on all of my life
shadows lifeless weight
calm as a lovers embrace
We’ve figured it all out, it’s the time you’ve been wasting
And I am encased in cold and grey
Bit I still see the light

Not a fan of the new album but this Polaris album is just what I love about metalcore. Saw them live in CH last year and on stage they are amazing. If you're new to Polaris (doubt it) start here ! sachavonkarl74
