Ghost Of Grandeur Songtext / Lyric

The time has come again like clockwork

As swiftly the manifest arises, so too does it flee

Preying upon constitution

Free will to recognize the tyrant

Blinding my need for self preservation

Unknown to the wretched perpetrator

A darkness plagues this once joyous heart

Calloused by scores of constant anguish

At the hand of the most revered

No longer will confusion hold me

Reaching for the strength to stand tall

Knowing I'm better off without

Pretending you're even there

Forging ahead with new found freedom

Relinquishing burdens taking hold

Seeing clear for the first time

Breathing in new atmosphere

Proving my need for self preservation

Has conquered that which seeks

To void the spirit within

Now known to the wretched perpetrator

The darkness plaguing this joyous heart

Has given up every ghost of grandeur

And will no longer live in fear

You will not fail me anymore

These walls I've built will never fall

Your sickness seeping through my pores

Will turn to dust and be no more
