Choose your fate they told me
But they never taught me how to change it once it was chosen
They never told me how to get a glimpse of your eyes again
Never once did I hear
Never once, was I taught
Printed your love, and with it's loss, the colours ran out
I see no shine from the sky, between what is left in the lines
Only this void, this empty room
Mindset deluded by passerbys
As I slaughter, another night
So, I wish you safe travels, along your way
Now and then
I've heard the wise say
That if you love someone you set them loose
You send them along their way
Along their way
Every day
Every day
I pray for your safe travels, everyday
I free myself from this emptiness
Fill up existence with suspense
Sights and sounds take me back to you
Thoughts and times I hope to come, true
But for now, I comfort myself
Knowing that I heeded what the wise would say
I pray for your safe travels everyday
Each and every day
I would have gone with you to the end
If I could I still would
But I find peace
That I've have given you greener pastures to ascend

I have yet to listen to this entire album without skipping a single track. Like an enchanter, the album keeps your attention with its effortless flow throughout, despite having crushing riffs, progressive breakdowns, and epic-length songs. gebs
