Orphaned Land - From Broken Vessels lyrics

Unto this world I was born, innocence scorned
Oaths were broken and pain bestowed
Innocence mourned
Trust betrayed, smiles were faked
Desire turned hate
Faces of loved ones are long decayed

Alone in this world, alone and so cold
Shiver in rain, my story unfolds
A broken vessel, endless pieces of me

Friends are now foes, those who betray
Love's labour's lost, a true passion play
Forked tongues drip with lies
Serpents hold me down, I cannot fly
The dark within my eyes

Saint I'm not pure in mind and thought
Masks I wear in this stage we share
Will we ever bare
These fears and hopes within one and all?

Cracks they show in the mirrors of my soul
When I break why do they all forsake?
Is life but a mistake?
Why do they smile when I fall apart?

Go! Pick your self up
You are the end, now the chapter is done
Cry as you might to the gods you adore
They hear you not, as they never before
