LYRICS
Sealed in flesh
A legacy of woe
Through illness and addiction
A darkness we both know
Yet amidst the shadow the bond remains
In our veins the blood is the same
When I look in your eyes I see mine
All the demons you carried now reside in me
In echoes of the past we find our release
Fear and love entwined,
Our souls reminisce
Our legacy through torment
Beautiful nightmare,
Your presence lingers here
Still hauntingly near
Like a phantom tethered to my flesh
Never fades from view
When I look in your eyes I see mine
All the demons you carried now reside in me
In echoes of the past we find our release
Fear and love entwined,
Our souls reminisce
Our legacy through torment
Beautiful nightmare,
Your presence lingers here
Still hauntingly near
In this requiem our souls shall forever dwell
As the final chords resonate darkness descends
With the essence etched upon the frame
In a testament to a father's farewell
The battle wages on
Memories observed
Never out of sight
With my own flesh and blood
I shall honor thy flame
Your presence lingers here
Still hauntingly near
