[Segue: Guitar Solo Intro – 00:00-01:40]
[Verse 1: George Margaritopoulos]
Tantalized
A shadow fleeting
Keeps on slipping
Lurking out of sight
A game of hide and seek
Suffering
His kin and offspring
Fuel the downswing
Ties around his chest
[Pre-Chorus: George Margaritopoulos]
[George Margaritopoulos & Andrew Huskey]
What once was born of love
A source of inner joy
Transformed slowly
Breathe in the pungent yet enchanting reek of decay, yeah
[Chorus: George Margaritopoulos & Both]
Time is a healer or so they say
If pain is certain why try to evade
We stride through the ashes of our past
Why do the good things fail to last?
[Verse 2: George Margaritopoulos & Both]
Mystified
Distastes and wantings
Do's and dont's
Confusing life and death
A compass needle spinning round and round
Endlessly
The source of misery
Of woе to end and start again
The law of inevitability
[Pre-Chorus: George Margaritopoulos & Both]
What oncе was born of love
A source of inner joy
Transformed slowly
Breathe out the pungent yet enchanting reek of decay, yeah
[Chorus: George Margaritopoulos & Both]
Time is a healer or so they say
If pain is certain why try to evade
We wade through the rivers of neglects
The noose around our necks
Choke!
[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Refrain: George Margaritopoulos]
A glimpse of starlight
Walk the ruins of misreadings
Observe the present
Do we harvest what we're feeding?
A glimpse of starlight
Walk the ruins of misreadings
If pain's a lesson
Can't we agnize what we're needing now?!
