about

Upon The Shores Of Naxos was written about Ariadne of Greek Mythology

lyrics

Sunshine fades beyond our horizon
If I asked of you, could you pick up the pieces and make us all whole?
Faithfully, and built on conviction,
Of how it should, or how it could
Or maybe how it was never meant to be?

Is our story all a lie? Will we share the afterlife?
Oh, all these questions are something that I’ve never had before

It all fades with time
Our memories always caressing me
It all fades with time
As strangers, we bleed
Wasting away

Moonlight will consume my horizon
If I asked myself, could you count back the days from when you last felt whole?
Gracefully, in this isolation
Reciting stories only to the waves

Falling fast into the dark (so far)
It seems (it seems)
That we can barely see the light of day
Crawling on my hands and knees
(You have destroyed it all)
You’ve replaced my compassion with fear and confusion

It all fades with time
Our memories always caressing me
It all fades with time
As strangers, we bleed
Wasting away

Reaching for stars, if only they could console
We’re searching for something to make us feel whole
We march to the beat of the hearts that we love
But n ever consider the repercussions thereof
For what if our trust is just a flash of the blade?
Just a love unrequited that keeps us enslaved?
My heart will not beat, my love will not flow
As long as I’m destined to face this all alone

(It all fades with time, it all fades with time)
I'm nothing more and nothing less than a victim of my willingness
(It all fades with time, it all fades with time)
I'm nothing more and nothing less than a victim of my willingness

Chaos, and lies clandestine
From the mouth of your visionaire
Seance, and creatures serpentine
Drag you into the all-consuming black

Beasts of burden
We proceed to the the slaughter, knowing, eyes open wide
Beasts of burden
We are

Chaos, no lies heard this time
Rip the tongue from your visionaire
Seance, with my last breath
I’ll drag you down

(It all fades with time, it all fades with time)
I'm nothing more and nothing less than a victim of my willingness
