Forgive me not. Of all the things I wish to implore, Do not pray for me anymore For I have succumbed to my doubt And turned my back on the Divine These things that go against The orderly procession of the heavens; A skeptic's soul am I Forever rejecting the Divine Across the skies, defiant A Harlot Star that thwarts the will of God For I shall seek no comfort in God No solace except that which I define I've seen the dogma revealed And I know they've preyed on my fears Content to question without regret Or fears of eternal damnation For I have seen the stars, I've seen the suns and watched them die Across the star-shot sky One being will defy The order of our God-forged heavens Frozen deep in doubt Trapped with no way out I can't pretend to want forgiveness Forgive me not.

A violent omen in the sky A tragic moment to decry On that evening when faith died, Never to be forsworn a lie. A lie, that I'd been told, And learned as Gospel Truth Falsehoods came crashing down, my whole world came apart. Pulled forth from innocence, crushed my naive heart Poisoned from my earliest childhood memories Trained and obedient, I never questioned why I was to give to God all glory, and my life. My life... My whole life. I trusted this lie.

Forced to abandon that which I call home. Set out into the storm, never to return. Forthwith into the night, towards uncertain times 'Gainst the driving rain, I leave my world behind.

Run! Flee! As if the hounds of Hell are at your heels Far away to escape the Inquisition's steel Northward bound, to the lands of my ancestors Where the followers of Jesu will be turned away by pagan swords! Turning back, through the pages of antiquity, Scavenging through the wreckage of a history Of a people and a culture, crushed under the heel Lost to lore, for all time, this fading legacy And it's plain to me that I will never live to learn my history Regret and rage is all I have to bear Among the crumbling ruins of the past, will I find what I'm looking for? My gods, y people, to be found nowhere. Travel through these forgotten lands Feel the futile steel in my hands Long ruined are the cities of old Abandoned, destroyed oh so long ago Far away! To the lands of my ancestors Lost to me Are the secrets of the past Never will I reclaim that which was stolen from me Lost to me Is the one thing that I need to be complete. And it's plain to me...

All this time, spent in vain All the searching, nothing gained Still I wander against all hope To find a place where I belong With my past on my heels, The relentless pursuit of ideals Driven further and far away Pay for the sins that my thoughts betray Betray me to rest There's nothing left O gods let me die, For here ends my tribe There is nothing, nothing left Of my people, my clan, my kin All their knowledge forever lost, Chained and bound at the foot of the Cross How can I not fall to despair? Here lies death, and I am the heir' Why have the gods forsaken me? Better to have been left blind than allowed to see. Knowledge is a burden you cannot escape, Your awareness shall be your curse For all of the years you will carry the weight Of a truth that can never be told For you, the world will not pass you by You will feel it every day The bittersweet loss of all innocence As your mind and body decay And so it ends, There is no end. The forgotten graves lie silent and still An eternal wait that time will never fill I am left behind, I am tired and alone A man without destiny, will I ever find a place To come home to. O gods, this cannot be I've come so far to find Nothing but dust and ruins Of long ago Born into legends, and folklore And children's tales O please my gods Don't let this be the end Oh please don't leave me here. Please, don't leave me here.
