In Search of the Triumph Beyond... (Obsidian Overture)

A quarter century

Of aimless miserable existence

Sights set on an early end

To awake

Into solemn eternal slumber

An all-consuming reverie

Passage of time

Has opened a clandestine path

Away from a life as ash

As I traverse

An ascent to uncharted peaks

A new journey begins...

In search of the triumph beyond

Obsidian Euphoria

Solo - Sanders

Existence in this traumaverse

Has rendered me helpless and cold

Yet burning strength of spirit

Shall melt my shackles and set me free

Once barren land

Now holds triumph unbound

Obsidian Euphoria

Shall know my name

Over beyond the end

Dissonance keeps bleeding on

Days spent weeping

Silver, ashen tears

Across darkest plains

Towers the obsidian fortress

Inside, my salvation

Beyond, no true end

Sky cloaked seraphs humming golden music of my life, my everything

Venture, be free young soul, purpose will burn once again. Flaming dawns bring joy anew.

Solo - Iacovella

Solo - Longerbeam

Trapped in erroneous skin

Preventing my progress, reducing my strength

I must shed this bleak mirage

To lift the weight of my sorrow

Scarlet mesmerism of thoughts unfold

Blood phantasms eclipse the prism

Which holds my tears, the key

To the shining ebony doorway

A singular step, there is no turning back here

Scarlet songbirds call atop dead trees

Once barren land

Now holds triumph unbound

Obsidian Euphoria

Shall know my name

Over beyond the end

Dissonance keeps bleeding on

Days spent weeping

Silver, ashen tears

I no longer wish to exist as ash in this realm of stone icons

Until my dying day I will search for the triumph beyond Obsidian Euphoria
